Setting Up Your BBQ: Safety and Placement
Proper setup is crucial for a safe grilling experience. A well-organized BBQ area ensures a smooth, enjoyable cooking session:
- Check Your Equipment: Always start with a thorough check to ensure your BBQ is stable and clean.
- Choose the Right Spot: Place your BBQ on a flat, stable surface away from flammable materials such as tents, caravans, and vegetation.
- Protect the Grass: Keep your BBQ raised to protect the beauty of Lady’s Mile (at least 50cm off the ground).
- Important: BBQs cannot be used at all on decking areas to prevent any risk of fire.
- Contain Your Flames: We cherish a good BBQ, but always remember, no open fires are allowed.
Comprehensive Fire Safety
Effective fire management is crucial to safe barbecuing. Preparation and awareness are key to preventing incidents:
- Stay Equipped: Keep fire-fighting tools like water, sand, or a fire extinguisher nearby.
- Monitor Continuously: Never leave your BBQ unattended and only use recommended firelighters.
- Safe Disposal: After cooking, completely extinguish the BBQ and safely dispose of coals to prevent any risk of fire.
The Perils of Disposable BBQs
Despite their convenience, disposable BBQs carry risks that outweigh their benefits:
- Heat and Toxins: They retain heat for hours and can emit carbon monoxide long after extinguishing.
- Not Permitted: Due to safety and environmental concerns, we do not allow disposable BBQs at our park.
Nurturing BBQ Etiquette and Food Safety
Maintaining high standards of food safety is essential for a pleasurable BBQ experience:
- Hygiene First: Always wash hands before and after handling raw meat. Use separate utensils for raw and cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination.
- Thorough Cooking: Ensure all meats are well-cooked, and keep perishables chilled until they’re ready to grill.
- Educate and Inform: We encourage educating all guests about these practices to maintain food safety throughout your stay.
