Where to Put a BBQ in Your Backyard

 In the shade

Trees provide natural shade because they aerate fast, but be careful about low hanging leaves, as they can be a fire danger. Make an effort to position your grill under the shade for most of the day. Putting up your BBQ in the shade is one thing, but keeping it there is another.

 

You can also build your barbecue shelter. Ensure there is space between your grill and the structure.

 

A safe distance from the house

Keep a safe distance between your house and the BBQ. For example, make sure you don’t position the grill near the door as this can cause potential accidents while entering or exiting.

 

Safe environment

Place your BBQ on a flat, clean surface. Since the BBQ has an open flame, you need to be aware of your environment. Place the grill at a reasonable distance from the house and anything that is flammable. Don’t place it near hanging trees or hedges.

 

Clear view

Place your barbecue in an area where people can watch it through the windows or doors. Ensure the person preparing the meals can see the barbecue from any position and they have space around the grill. Make sure the person is not left facing the hedges or walls.

 

Check where the wind blows

Smoke blows downwind, so be cautious where you place your BBQ.

Smoke is part of the barbecue and can quickly get in the hair, clothes and eyes. Place your grill so the smoke will not get in the house, blow on the chef or guests.

 

Placing your BBQ in the backyard is not difficult if you pick the right environment. However, wherever you choose to place your BBQ, safety should come first.
