While one survey estimates a whopping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackenterprise.com\/while-july-fourth-is-top-holiday-for-grilling-out-56-of-americans-do-it-year-round\/\">68% of Americans<\/a> will\nhost a July 4th BBQ, for many \u2013 grilling and\nhosting is an all season (or even all year) event.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you best prepare for and host a backyard BBQ this year, we\u2019ve written a guide to the key elements: the grill, the food, the drinks, and the exterior design. Scroll down to check out our tips for each element of your outdoor summer get together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Backyard\nBBQ Prep <\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Real Simple pulled together a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/food-recipes\/cooking-tips-techniques\/grilling\/grilling-food-safety\">comprehensive guide<\/a> to prepping your grill that is well worth reading. They recommend you heat the grill (gas or charcoal) <em>before<\/em> you clean it to make it easier to scrape any remaining food and animal contaminants and to clean it before <em>each time<\/em> you cook. Real Simple also recommends using a wire brush to clean the grill (we have heard mixed reviews), and spraying it with oil before cooking to prevent delicate foods from sticking. You can also \u2013 and ingeniously \u2013 use a <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/make-your-grill-non-stick-with-a-potato-1708446598\">creamer potato<\/a> or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailymeal.com\/secret-grilling-ingredient\/\">mayonnaise<\/a> to make your grill nonstick.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/your-space\/organization\/storing-your-grill-for-winter\/\">stored your grill over the winter<\/a>,\nyou\u2019ll obviously want to give it a good once over with soapy water and a cloth\non the outside before using it for the first time. (The same goes for patio\nfurniture and pool toys.) Those who clean their grills properly before putting\nthem into storage (and use grill covers) find the job to be an easy one. Those\nwho don\u2019t may have to put a little elbow grease into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Food Prep &amp; Serving<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog01_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21314\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Free Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/people-around-a-table-with-food-4262005\/\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once\nthe grill is ready to go, it\u2019s time to focus on the fun stuff: the food! If\nyou\u2019re hosting a July 4th BBQ, the typical\nmenu looks something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Burgers &amp; hot dogs (with buns and fixings)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Veggie burgers\/dogs for vegetarian friends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grilled steaks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potato salad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pasta salad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deviled eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Baked beans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Corn on the cob<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watermelon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cakes &amp; cookies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ice cream cones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To\nbest prepare, you\u2019ll want to <a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/1042615\/denisebrowning\/best-bbq-menu-ideas\/\">decide the menu<\/a> and gather your\ningredients and condiments well before the holiday. Slice lettuce, tomatoes,\ncheese, and onions the day before or morning of the party and keep under wraps\nin your refrigerator until it\u2019s time to serve the food. Collect condiments\n(yellow and Dijon mustards, relish, pickles, ketchup, mayonnaise, butter, and\neven salt &amp; pepper) on a tray or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ClearSpace-Plastic-Storage-Bins-lids\/dp\/B09GW5ZXWR\/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?keywords=Storage+Container+Bbq&amp;qid=1686419870&amp;sr=8-3-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQkdPSllGM01UNEdOJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjk3ODMxMk1ZWTZJWlpPUTFYUyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTUyNzQ0MVJBQ1paMEI0NVgwOCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=\">storage bin<\/a> in the fridge to quickly\npull out when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy Serve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog01_03-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21319\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Free Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/group-having-an-outdoor-party-16617576\/\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For serving, you\u2019ll either want to use paper plates or melamine picnicware that won\u2019t shatter if dropped. Tongs are great to serve watermelon or corn on the cob but use big plastic serving spoons for potato or macaroni salad and serving forks or spatulas for dogs and burgers. Make sure to provide plenty of paper napkins (or even a roll of paper towels) to clean up messes with ease. It may also be wise to invest in a plasticized tablecloth of some sort so that any spills can be quickly wiped up.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another tip is to invest in some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Umbrella-SPANLA-Outdoors-Reusable-Collapsible\/dp\/B07V7Y8KYF\/\">mesh food cover tents<\/a> to keep the bugs away. Nothing turns a stomach more than seeing a big housefly on a plate of freshly cooked burgers.
