Starter pucks and charcoal help get your BBQ’s fire started. They hold a more consistent heat, so you won’t have to worry about your food not being cooked all the way through.

Festive lighting is great for your backyard and helps set the mood. The lights create a soft, satisfying touch to your backyard and help transition the afternoon to evening.

Don’t forget the ice. Ice is not expensive, but it’s also easily forgotten. You should stock up on ice to avoid having to make an ice run in the midst of the party.

Bug spray seems to slip most people’s minds when they are throwing a BBQ. Keep away mosquitos, flies, ticks and any other unwanted insects by providing your guests with bug spray. Everyone will be so happy

A meat thermometer is essential to making sure the food is cooked completely. You don’t want any undercooked meats when you are throwing a party for your family and friends.

Lastly, for the entertainment at your summer BBQ, have some bocce ball and cornhole kits ready for your guests. Aside from just entertainment, outdoor games serve as ice breakers for guests who might not know each other.
