Top 5 Grilling Gifts
1) Canvas Apron
BBQ Butler: Canvas Apron - Black
2) 3-in-1 Burger Press
Make burgers that are a little bit extra, and a little bit easier, with a burger press. This tool helps create perfectly uniform patties and stuffed burgers full of tastiness—think onions, cheese and more—and it has a mold to help make sliders, too.
3) Wood Chips for Smoking Pouch
The Smokist™: Wood Chips for Smoking Pouch - Hickory
4) Bluetooth Grilling Thermometer
With this Bluetooth grill thermometer you can keep a watchful eye on what’s cooking (or smoking) without being chained to the grill. Two probes track ambient temperature inside the grill as well as the meat’s temperature and let you know via app or LED display when it’s time to eat.
5) Meat Handler and Shredder
The original meat shredding claws are often imitated, but these are the real deal—durable and Made in the USA. Six super sharp prongs easily shred meat, like pulled pork. They offer great grip to lift large roasts or turkeys, and hold them stable when carving. The minimal, ergonomic design is easy to grip and easy to clean, with almost nowhere for bits of food or juices to hide.
