The Official Bogan’s Guide to BBQ Etiquette 🍖🔥

Summer = BBQ Season! But note, there are rules. Unspoken, unwritten, and occasionally sweary rules. Break ‘em, and you’ll be remembered as that dickhead at every BBQ from here on.

So, here it is — The Official Bogan’s Guide to BBQ Etiquette. 

1. Never Trust a Salad 🥗

Sure, it’s on the table, but it’s just decoration. The real stars are the sausages, steaks, and whatever mystery meat your mate Dave rocked up with. Don’t fill your plate with rabbit food unless you want to be mocked mercilessly.

Pro tip: Protect your outfit from rogue tomato sauce splatters with a Kitchen Language  Shits and Sizzles apron.

2. Respect the Grill Master 👨🍳

There is always one bloke who claims the tongs and won’t let go. You don’t question him, you don’t touch his snags, and you definitely don’t say “I think they need another minute.” 

Pro tip: Wear a Cook It Yourself Cunt apron and if anyone dares question your cooking, point to your apron and tell em to piss off!

3. Stubby Holder = Non-Negotiable 🍺

Warm beer is a sin against humanity. Your beer needs a stubby holder, and not just any boring one. If your beer isn’t wrapped in something that says Fuck Face or Sick Cunt, are you even at a proper BBQ?

4. Don’t Rock Up Empty-Handed 🛒

BYO means bring your own, not bludge off everyone else’s carton. Rock up with a six-pack, a packet of snags, or at the very least a bag of ice. Show up with nothing? Congratulations, you’re officially a freeloading fuckwit.

Pro tip: Gift your host a Shit Hot BBQ pack (make sure you sneak a little treat out of the pack for yourself!) 

5. Paper Plates Are Shit 🍽️

They flop, they leak, and they collapse under the weight of a proper BBQ feast. If you must use them, double-stack like a smart cunt. Bonus points if you bring along a sweary Kitchen Language tea towel to mop up the carnage when someone inevitably drops a sausage in the grass.

6. Sauce Hierarchy Matters 🍅🟡

Tomato, BBQ, mustard — that’s the holy trinity. Anyone who shows up with “low-fat aioli” or “vegan mayo” can politely fuck off.

7. Pace Yourself, Legend 🍻

There’s always that one hero who’s pissed by 3pm and asleep in the dog’s bed. Don’t be that wanker. Remember: it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Sip your beer, smash some snags, and if you need a nap — at least aim for a chair, not the esky.

Wrap It Up, Cunt 🎁

Follow these rules, and you’ll be remembered as a BBQ legend, not a bloody liability. And if you really want to level up your BBQ game? Sling on a cheeky Kitchen Language apron (Flaming Fucking Legend, anyone?), keep a sweary tea towel handy, and slide your beer into a rude stubby holder.

Because a true Aussie BBQ isn’t just about the meat — it’s about the banter, the beers, and the bullshit.
