IT’S NATIONAL BBQ WEEK WHICH HAS GOT US ALL THINKING ABOUT THOSE SUNNY DAYS SPENT OUTSIDE, HAVING GOOD TIMES WITH CLOSE FRIENDS, A BURGER IN ONE HAND AND AN ICE-COLD BEVERAGE IN THE OTHER.

For those with outdoor entertaining spaces, one of this summer’s must-have pieces of technology is a Blastcool purpose-built outdoor drinks cooler. Blastcool is based in Cheshire, but the cabinets are popular in outdoor living areas across the UK and Europe.

Blastcool guarantees the perfect serve every time, chilling drinks to 1°C. The clean lines and polished interior make it a real showstopper for your outdoor living space and it fits seamlessly into any design. Advanced energy saving components and Greenpeace approved refrigerant gas make Blastcool an environmentally sympathetic choice too.

Ed Jonas, Managing Director at Blastcool said: “It’s a common misconception that you can use an indoor refrigerator outside. If you are planning an outdoor kitchen or living area, it’s really important to ensure that any equipment is custom-made and totally safe for outdoor use. Here’s a rundown of why a cooler purpose-built for outside living areas is the best and safest refrigeration option for alfresco living spaces.”
