The perfect barbecue party setup

The heart of every party – the grill

Barbecues are social and incredibly delicious! The food is easy to prepare, ensuring a relaxing evening for both the hosts and the guests. But not all barbecues are created equal. When choosing a barbecue, there are a few things to consider:

1. Size

If you want to sizzle with a small group, compact grills like our Campingaz Party Grill are ideal. For 3-4 people, a medium-sized grill, like the Campingaz Attitude 2go CV , is best. If you're expecting more guests, you'll be well-equipped with a professional-grade unit like our 4 & 3 Master Series . With two additional warming racks, even a large BBQ becomes a breeze, eliminating the need to wait long for delicious grilled specialties.

2. Mobility

For a barbecue party by the lake or on the go, you should also consider the journey to and from the location. A game of Tetris for space in the trunk or a long walk with heavy luggage will otherwise spoil the mood. When choosing a grill, also make sure that the individual parts are easy to assemble and, ideally, compact for transport. With our Party Grill, for example, all the components can be easily stowed inside the grill, making transport and storage particularly easy. Gas grills are the best choice for on-the-go heating: Completely independent, available with handy gas cartridges, and without the hassle of lighting the grill or disposing of hot ash, you can get started right away with gas-powered devices.

3. Features

Size isn't everything – even with grills. Our small party grills, for example, offer versatile uses thanks to their reversible grill plate and the ability to convert them to a gas stove. Particularly juicy steaks with great grill marks turn out best on our Master Series Searing Boost Station . Tip: The Culinary Modular System is available for many Campingaz grills. This also makes it ideal for preparing roast chicken and other dishes, ensuring perfect results.

Culinary

Sausages are certainly a classic at any barbecue. But shrimp, steaks, meatballs, and fish also perform well on the grill. Always consider a vegetarian or vegan alternative. Feta or vegetable skewers, for example, are particularly good. You can simply serve them with baguette, salads, and various sauces or dips (you'll find three classics below in Eugen's barbecue tip). A bowl or one of our practical coolers with ice or ice packs and a selection of drinks of your choice completes the culinary selection.

Location

Finding a suitable location for a barbecue is very important. Not everyone has the opportunity to grill at home on their balcony, patio, or in their garden. Tip: It's best to look for a location with a designated barbecue area that can be reserved in advance. This way, you can be sure that barbecuing is permitted and that you have the space to yourself. And if you let your neighbors know in advance, or even invite them along, you can expect more understanding, even if things get a bit loud.

Decoration

There are no limits to your imagination, and tastes naturally vary. Basically, you should make sure your party has enough standing and seating space (e.g., with comfortable cushions or blankets). Later in the evening, fairy lights and candles create a cozy atmosphere. LEDs are not only particularly energy-efficient, but can often be powered by rechargeable batteries or batteries if no power connection is available. A campfire is certainly a special highlight – for those on the go or where this isn't possible, so-called Swedish fires are a great alternative.

Music

A smartphone, a portable speaker system—and you're ready to provide the perfect musical accompaniment on the go. It's best to create a playlist in advance that suits your party and your guests. Then you won't have to act as a DJ during the party and can focus on your guests.
