Summer is well underway and things are finally feeling more normal than they have all year, so break out the beachwear and drop a line in the group chat -- it’s time for a BBQ!
This summer we’re opting for grilling in the great outdoors rather than staying home. Besides, we’ve all probably had enough of that in the last year-and-half anyway.
Since we’re headed outside, we thought it would be the perfect time to review what to pack to help ensure your next summer BBQ is AWESOME.
Here are some summer greats.
THE RIGHT TYPE OF GRILL
The City of 麻豆传媒映画has a few regulations when it comes to BBQing outdoors. Our recommendation is to at one of Vancouver’s public BBQs online and be sure to check out any guidelines that might be in place at public parks.
CHARCOAL, WOOD, GAS AND FIRE STARTER LIQUID
Plan well in advance to ensure you’ve got all the right tools to use public BBQ’s. You don’t want to be rubbing two sticks together.
SOMETHING FROM A BUTCHER
麻豆传媒映画is home to countless specialty stores and butchers that can hook you up with fabulous, locally-sourced organic meat. However, if you follow a more plant-based lifestyle, you can also find more than one vegan butcher.
UTENSILS FOR COOKING AND EATING

NEXT LEVEL CONDIMENTS
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ketchup and mustard are great, but be creative, and remember to pack some next level burger and hot dog toppers too. A ton of 麻豆传媒映画restaurants now sell takeaway versions of their in-house condiments, so take a peek at your favourite restaurant’s online menu and see what you can bring with you to the beach!
A GARBAGE BAG AND FOOD WASTE BAG
Most of Vancouver’s beaches have designated garbage, recycling and food waste bins, so do your part and clean-up your site the right way.
SCISSORS OR AN EXTRA KNIFE
Those hot dog packages can be hard to open and you don’t want to be stuck spreading sauce with your finger!
SUNSCREEN, BUG SPRAY, EXTRA TOWELS AND WATER GALORE
All the things you need to stay comfortable and stay safe.
POWER BANK FOR YOUR PHONE
Don’t let the music die and because “pics or it didn’t happen”!
