What should you pay attention to when buying a barbecue apron?
A grill apron is protective equipment or work clothing for professional chefs. In the kitchen and when grilling, the main thing is protection from hot fat and splashing cooking liquids. There is also the risk of burns. Extreme heat is generated on the grill in particular. Open fires can also cause sparks to fly. A good grill apron should therefore offer good protection from cooking fat and splashing cooking liquids.
Likewise, a good cooking apron insulates against extreme heat and unwanted contact with sparks. The material of the grill apron should therefore have a certain strength and be insulating and flame-retardant. A leather apron made of full-grain leather meets these requirements.
What is special about DRAKENSBERG grill aprons?
For us, sustainability is not an advertising statement, but part of the design. We are concerned with authentic lifestyle products. Fair production with natural and authentic materials.
There are currently very few manufacturers of barbecue aprons or bar aprons that we could look up to. Many brands continue to use classic chrome tanning or even split leather (reducing the thickness of the leather to save costs).
The term "vegan" leather is also often misleading. It usually refers to a material that is not made from animal skin, but rather from commercially available plastic. There are actually leather-like materials made from plants, but these are very expensive, rather rare and not suitable for use as a barbecue apron.
We do not use any plastic in our barbecue aprons for men. Our leather or canvas is not covered with plastic. The leather used is sustainably vegetable tanned, although not completely chrome-free. An original with rough edges, but with a soul factor.
Leather BBQ apron, which size is right for men?
We currently only offer one size. However, our barbecue aprons are adjustable with straps at the neck (size M-XL) and waist (90-125cm or size M-XL). We are currently unable to offer barbecue aprons for very "small" or very "tall" people.
What details are important in an apron?
There are a few things to consider when choosing a BBQ apron to ensure it is functional, durable and attractive. Choose high-quality, heat-resistant leather for better durability and protection. The apron should be an appropriate length to protect your entire upper body from flying sparks and hot splatters, and offer adjustable straps for a custom fit.
Integrated pockets are handy for keeping grilling utensils and accessories close at hand. Make sure the seams and fasteners are well-made to ensure a long service life.
Style and design play a role in choosing an apron that suits your personal taste and fits the barbecue atmosphere.
Which grill apron designs are currently trending?
Leather BBQ aprons are currently trending due to their aesthetic appeal, durability and heat resistance, making them attractive to BBQ enthusiasts. Additionally, their exclusivity and adaptability add a touch of style and elegance to grilling, making them a popular option as a gift.
Which materials are best for barbecue aprons?
Grill aprons should be made of materials that are heat-resistant and durable to provide effective protection from flying sparks and hot surfaces. In this context, materials such as leather and waxed cotton are popular because they are both robust and heat-resistant, thus ensuring safety when grilling.
Ultimately, choosing the best material depends less on comparison than on your personal preferences or lifestyle and the desired level of protection and comfort.
Which is the best grill apron?
Choosing and comparing a leather BBQ apron is certainly subjective and depends on individual preferences. Here are some advantages of buying a leather apron from DRAKENSBERG:

How do I clean and care for a leather barbecue apron?
Basically, you should hang the leather apron on a coat hanger to air it after using it at the grill. A leather apron should not be put in the washing machine and is also not suitable for hand washing.
We are of the opinion that a barbecue apron should show its age and the number of uses it has been used for. Stains are expressly welcome! We therefore recommend cleaning the surface, i.e. with a leather brush and leather eraser at most. Grease stains and grease splashes will develop a beautiful patina over the years, just like on high-quality leather trousers. There are also liquid leather care products that have a cleaning effect. However, these products should be tested according to the instructions on the packaging and on an inconspicuous area. The leather should then be lightly greased again so that it does not dry out.
If you grill a lot over direct and open fire, you should think about additional fire protection impregnation. We recommend, for example, FEUERFEST® fire protection impregnation for textiles. This allows our grill aprons to be upgraded to fire protection class B1 (flame retardant) according to DIN 4102.
Where does the fascination for grilling come from?
The tradition of barbecuing has a long history and is firmly anchored in many cultures. It goes back to prehistoric times when people began cooking food over an open fire. This original form of cooking not only provided a practical method of preparing food, but also created social gatherings and a sense of community around the fire. Over time, many cultures have developed their own barbecuing techniques, spices and marinades that make barbecuing a unique culinary experience.
Grilling is not only a way to prepare delicious meals, but it also creates a special atmosphere where friends and family come together to spend time together. Preparing food together and sharing meals around the grill fosters a sense of togetherness and strengthens interpersonal relationships. The informal and relaxed nature of grilling creates a relaxed environment in which people can get to know each other better, share stories and create shared memories.
Grilling in the company of friends and special people also offers an opportunity to escape from everyday life and enjoy the moment. It is a way to relieve stress, celebrate life and just have fun. The joy of preparing food over an open fire and enjoying grilled delicacies connects people in a unique way.
In addition, grilling outdoors creates a connection with nature and allows us to appreciate the beauty of nature while eating and laughing together outside. The combination of good food, good company and the nature around us makes grilling a special experience that many people enjoy sharing again and again.
