Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first thing I should buy in BBQ It? ▼
The Standard Grill (500 cash) for an extra cooking slot, immediately followed by the Metal Table (800 cash) for double customer capacity. These two purchases have the fastest ROI.
When should I buy offline grills? ▼
Buy your first Offline Grill after you have Auto Sell (4,000 cash) and at least a Pro Grill. Offline grills are a mid-game investment that pays off over time.
