The keys to succeeding with your barbecue on a terrace, garden or balcony with limited maneuvering space
- Measure the space well and always leave a clear aisle to move without tripping over the grill.
- Place the barbecue away from walls, awnings and furniture to prevent smoke cling and heat risks.
- Always have a small fire extinguisher on hand, a bucket of water or sand, and long-quality tongs.
- Plan a simple menu: few items but well chosen, with similar cooking times.
- Marinate meats and vegetables beforehand to gain flavor without standing by the fire for hours.
- Opt for small, varied portions so no one waits too long between bites.
- If there are neighbors nearby, avoid excessive fats and control the flames to prevent smoke.
- Organize a mise en place area with trays, plates and spices to avoid constantly going in and out of the house.
