Tips for BBQ Cabin Grilling:

Clean Regularly: Clean your central grill after each use to prevent buildup and ensure optimal performance.

Invest in Quality Tools: Good quality grilling tools will make your life easier. Long-handle metal tools and grill gloves are worthy investments.  

Experiment with Flavours: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavours and cooking techniques. Try out new seasonings to keep things fresh and exciting. Remember variety is the spice of life!

Something for Everyone: We know BBQ is usually all about the meat, but if you’re hosting a party check in with people about preferences and allergies! You may want to get a separate pan for the central grill of a BBQ Cabin to avoid cross contamination for allergies or vegetarians. Remember, it’s polite to be accommodating! 

Warm it Up: If you don’t have a fire on, consider adding an electric heater. Electric blankets and hot water bottles can also be great additions for keeping warm and cosy. Keep a kettle in the cabin with tea or cocoa so you can serve up a hug in a mug whenever needed. 

Safety First!

• Fire Safety: Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and be aware of fire safety regulations. Our cabins come fit with an extinguisher. 
  
  
• Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Ensure proper ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide buildup. Our cabins come fit with a monitor.
  
  
• Electrical Safety: Make sure you use outdoor-rated electrical appliances and outlets.
