      Seasoning & Flavour Tips

      Great BBQ starts with good seasoning:

      • Use dry rubs, herbs and spices to enhance flavour
      • Marinate meat in advance for tenderness
      • Brush food lightly with oil to prevent sticking

      Simple seasoning allows the natural taste of grilled food to shine.
