Desk news: Unlike western countries, barbecue or BBQ parties are held all over the country in the months of December, January, and February. Nothing in Bangladesh completely captures the spirit of winter like a barbecue with your closest friends! You could simply buy some burgers and hot dogs, invite some friends over, and call it a BBQ party, or you could go a little further with some essential preparation and a carefully considered menu and surprise your guests with your culinary prowess. Here are just some things you can do to up the barbecue-host game.

Plan your party
A guest list is the first thing any decent barbecue party needs. A BBQ party can only be successful if all participants work together and share the party’s expenses and duties. Spread the expense and the love all at once! Nowadays, using Facebook to plan an event is the simplest option. Make a private gathering, then invite your guests. Choose a day that will be manageable for everyone, preferably a weekend, or a holiday.

Make sure you have three times the amount of fuel or charcoal needed to cook dinner in the propane tank or on the charcoal grill, respectively. You do not want to leave the party in the middle of cooking for charcoal or gas and allow the meat on the grills cool.

Ask guests to bring side dishes
Ask your guests to bring side dishes; don’t feel shy about it. Chances are high that you will be treated to various options. People love to show off their prized dishes! Besides, you do not want to prepare 5 kg of baked beans, mounds of potato salad, and dozens of devilled eggs while cleaning up the house, yard, or rooftop.
