    Best BBQ Hacks

    Ok so summer keeps playing with us! One day it’s here the next it’s gone but being British means a little rain doesn’t dampen our spirits.

    This week we’ve scoured the web to find five clever (and on some occasions genius) BBQ ideas. Take a look and make sure your next BBQ is a big hit.

    #1 Make A Super Juicy Burger

    If you are fed up with dry, charred burgers use a little piece of ice to keep the meat super juicy. Simply press a dimple in the centre of a raw burger with your thumb, then place an ice cube in the dimple. As the burger cooks the ice will melt and add moisture.
