History of the barbecue
Let’s start from history: where did this idea of cooking meat on a grill come from? Let’s find out together. When Christopher Columbus reached America, in particular the Caribbean coasts, he observed that the tribe natives prepared an embers of wood and cooked the meat on a mat. This method was called baa-bu-kan and the mat served to protect the meat from contact with the ground and the insects that populated it.

The smoke, on the other hand, protected against the “aerial” attacks of insects around there. From America, thanks to migrations, this technique has spread almost everywhere, changing the name to barbacoa then barbecue.
Choice of meat
Beef, veal, chicken, pork or lamb: what are the best cuts to grill? We offer you a small one guide. The calf it is one of the most suitable cuts for the barbecue because it resists cooking better: fillet and sirloin are our recommendations but also hamburgers for the little ones! The meat of beef it is the one not recommended as it is too thin, among the never it is more without the pig. It’s not barbecue without sausages, chops, ribs, ribs, bacon and skewers! Ribs and kebabs, on the other hand, to taste thelamb not only at Easter. Now we really are ready to start our barbecue in the garden!
DIY barbecue tools: how to make a cart
The barbecue is there, the embers as well what can be missing? A support surface, to be moved if necessary, on which to store everything we need! Let’s see together how to make a shopping cart do-it-yourself. For this project we have chosen the pallet. Follow the directions: what do you need?
- Tools: saw, planer, miter saw, nailer and drill;
- Pallet;
- 4 wheels;
- 4 spruce boards.
First disassemble the pallet, then use a plane to smooth the wooden planks. Once ready we make the drawers: with the nailer we join the 40 cm sides and the two 30 cm fronts. Finally we cut a bottom for the drawer. To assemble the trolley structure we must follow precise measurements based on the desired size. We assemble everything with the help of the necessary tools and we move on to assemble the wheels. Remember as a last step to protect the wood by passingoil of linen: natural method and indicated when wood is in contact with food!

DIY tools for the barbecue: the wall-mounted storage box
If where we have the barbecue there is one wall free, what better idea than making your own glove box strictly do it yourself? Everything must stay in its place including the essentials gear. For those who love DIY it will be child’s play: fun and rewarding! Here’s what you need:
- 1 table of wood (40 × 60 cm as an ideal size)
- 1 shelf
- 1 bar metallic
- 2 small handles
- Hooks (to hang our tools)
- Nails, screws and tape.
For a start we can decide whether to leave at natural or decorate our wooden table. It would be original to create a design that recalls the embers but also a little bit of color it doesn’t hurt. After this first step we fix our metal bar with screws, we do the same for the shelf fixing it higher at a distance of 15 cm. It will be very useful for storing the spices ideal for flavoring meat. We secure our storage box to the wall with a rope and that’s it!
