Location
Choose an appropriate location which will not be crowded on the cookout day and will have enough space for everyone. Make sure that it is a spot that is easy to reach and should have some basic facilities such as washrooms as people will need to use them during the course of the day. -

Menu
Keep it simple so that you do not have a lot of trouble cooking it. It is best that you have something delicious and not too complicated.
