Having a barbecue is an ideal get together. There seems something magic about a group of people congregating around an outdoor cooking place to enjoy themselves while having their food prepared live.

It is something people enjoy spontaneously, so when the weather is good you head out and fire up the barbecue (74 percent).

According to a Statista survey, people often just have barbecues, whenever they feel like it (68 percent). Other occasions include holidays, family celebrations and birthdays.
