When barbecuing in warmer climates overseas, it can be an extremely happy and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
You’ll be loved by everyone if you put on a fantastic day that everyone enjoys. Obviously ,cultural awareness is very important, barbecuing in foreign countries such as Australia, South and North America, and the United Kingdom shouldn’t be a problem as these countries really love a great BBQ.
Some countries, such as Japan, are more reserved when it comes to barbecuing, due to the lack of space. If you are having a barbecue in your back garden
Please check with your neighbors first, as the smoke from your BBQ can be considered rude if it goes into their garden and personal space.
Obviously, when barbecuing in warmer temperatures, safety has to be thought of as your main concern, as you want a great experience for everyone who attends.
Make sure there are lots of fluids available for everyone to rehydrate themselves and have reliable access to clean drinking water; some countries don’t have clean drinking water like more developed countries take for granted. Access to shade for you and your guests to enjoy a break from the warm sun rays will be something you want to consider when having a BBQ so exploring and researching your location beforehand is something I recommend.
Please consider what times of day you’re planning to have your get-together. Usually, midday is the hottest time of day, and barbequeing when the Sun is at its strongest could cos sunburn and heat stroke for anyone who is attending.
I recommend having hats and clothing that cover some of the more delicate parts of the body that are more susceptible to sunburn, such as the neck.
It’s very important to make sure you and your guys stay hydrated, especially if you’re drinking alcohol; it’s important to be drinking plenty of water.
The type of guests that you have to be especially concerned about at your BBQ are older, pregnant, or young children, as those are the type of people who are most at risk of getting sick from the sun.
When having a barbecue, consider the type of grill you want: charcoal or gas. There are pros and cons to both. Gas grills are easier to control, especially when you are barbecuing in warmer temperatures. But charcoal grills give you more of that authentic BBQ taste that everyone loves.
So my advice is to try both and see what you and your guests prefer.
I would also advise getting a canopy, as this can help you stay cool. Often in overseas warmer countries such as Spain, Asia, and South America, there can be real tropical downpours, so having a canopy can save you from getting too wet.
Please make sure when you’re barbecuing, there is plenty of ventilation so there isn’t a big buildup if hazardous smoke.
When barbecuing overseas, you might want to consider using some local recipes and using some ingredients from local markets that are close by.
Also, different countries have different barbecuing styles that are great to try. Brazil in South America and Korea in Asia have great BBQ long traditions. Make sure everyone has a great time, and respecting the locals will mean you have a fantastic experience.
