As BBQ season approaches, it’s time to get your grill and accessories ready for another round of delicious outdoor cooking. Whether you’re a seasoned griller or just starting out, here’s your checklist to ensure you’re well-prepared, featuring exclusive tips from Westwoods BBQ and Spice Co.


Equipment Check:

  • Cleaning Your Grill: Begin the season with a deep clean. Scrub the grates with a grill brush and wash other components with soapy water to ensure everything is in top condition for cooking.

  • Essential Tools: Ensure you have the essentials: tongs, a spatula, and a reliable meat thermometer. Check out our durable, high-quality grilling tools available at Westwoods BBQ and Spice Co.


Stocking Up:

  • Buying the Right Meats: Visit local butchers in Fresno for the best cuts like ribs, steaks, and sausages. Our staff can recommend the perfect cuts for our signature BBQ sauces and rubs.

  • Seasonings and Sauces: Stock up on your favorite flavors with Westwoods BBQ and Spice Co.'s award-winning rubs and sauces. Our unique blends are sure to elevate your grilling game.


Safety Tips:

  • Fire Safety: Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and ensure all equipment is functioning correctly to prevent any accidents.

  • Food Safety: Always use separate plates and utensils for raw and cooked meats. Check meats with a thermometer to ensure they reach the safe internal temperature.


Recipe Ideas and Techniques:

  • Experiment with our rubs on pork ribs for a subtly sweet and smoky flavor.

  • Brush our BBQ sauce on chicken wings in the last few minutes of grilling for a spicy kick that’s hard to beat.
