Make sure you’re ready for grilling season with these tools.
ALUMINUM FOIL
Certainly the cheapest accessory for the grill, heavy-duty foil can be used as a makeshift smoker box (simply wrap wood chips in foil, poke a few holes, and place it directly above the heat source), foil packets for fish or vegetables, a cover for grill side tables to ensure quick cleanup, or a simple grate cleaner (when balled up and held with long handled tongs).
APRON
Grilling’s a dirty job but we all love to do it. That doesn’t mean that you have to ruin your favorite T-shirt and shorts with sauce and grease stains, though. A good-quality apron (like the Memphis Adjustable Apron from Chef Works) will not only keep you clean at the grill, but you’ll look like a pro, too!
BBQ AND GRILLING COOKBOOKS
Burgers and hot dogs are great, but grilling can be so much more — including countless appetizers, side dishes, desserts, and even cocktails! Get inspired with a collection of barbecue and grilling cookbooks like Melissa Cookston’s Smokin’ in the Boys Room, Bon Appétit’s The Grilling Book, and Chris Lilly’s Fire and Smoke.
CHARCOAL GRILL
Gas grills are great when you’re short on time and want to grill up a few steaks or burgers, but nothing beats the thrill of cooking with a charcoal grill like the Kingsford charcoal or Weber Original Kettle grills. Plus, charcoal grills add a nice, smoky flavor to everything that you cook on them.
