Have a picnic BBQ this weekend
Jun 10, 2009 Barbecue
It’s great to get out with the family on weekends as see the great sites around Australia. A quick trip out on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon is always topped off by finding a nice picnic spot, firing up a Barbie and having a few snags and a hot cuppa. The trouble is that the public barbecue facilities at some of the better picnic spots are often very busy, and sometimes nonexistent. If they are there public barbecues are sometimes dirty, don’t work properly, or you don’t know if animals have been standing on it before you get there.
By the time you wait around for your turn, or clean the BBQ that is there it can seriously cut into your time out enjoying yourself. There are of course a few solutions to this dilemma.
You can take a small butane stove, but if you are cooking for a family these rarely offer enough cooking surface and heat to really do the job properly.
A larger, gas powered BBQ that is portable is the ideal solution. One that can fold down, be stored in the boot, and be ready to cook on within minutes of pulling up.
A hillbilly cooking stand with a gas attachment is the easy to transport, easy to assemble solution to having a BBQ on your family day out. It is quickly put together, and ready to go in minutes of arriving. The snags will be sizzling before you know it!
There are a variety of attachments, from fry pans to grill / plate combinations. Camp ovens and woks can also be attached.
If you are around Melbourne there are some great spots to take the family for a half day out, especially up in the Dandenongs. Emerald lake is a fantastic spot for a weekend BBQ, as is Crystal Brooke park near Cardinia Reservoir, or Lysterfield Lake which is near Endeavour hills.
