When you're gathering friends and family for a grill out, it helps to have the right accessories and tools for the grill. Whether you're a staunch gas griller, a traditional campfire griller, or an electric grill fan, we've got you covered. We've taken the liberty of collecting both necessary items and fancy doodahs that can make your grilling experience better. See what piques your interest.
Grillaholics Grill Mat (2-pack)
Best mat for flavor
Care for your food selections with these barely-there grill mats that don't sacrifice the all-important hallmarks of grilled food like the distinct smoky flavor and the linear markings. These heat-safe mats keep your food from sticking to the grates and manage firey flares because they're made of durable PTFE material. They are also dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
Meater+
Best thermometer
Monitor your meat using your smartphone to grill your food exactly the way you want it. The wooden case doubles as a signal repeater to let you monitor the thermometer up to 165 feet away.
Having an app to check your heat may sound weird, but when you are slow grilling or smoking it can be extremely helpful to watch the temperature without moving the meat.
Home Complete BBQ Grill Tool Set 16-Piece
Best tool case
Not only does this come with tools needed to cook your food, but it also comes with cleaning tools and even corn cob holders to make your grilling experience a great one.
This carrying case makes it easy to bring all of your necessary grilling utensils in one container. Store it when not in use or easily pack the case when camping or grilling away from home.
AIZOAM Stainless Steel Grilling Basket
The best way to make kebabs
Lock the stainless-steel grate to prevent fish, steak, shrimp, corn, and just about any other grilled delicacies from slipping out. It's large enough to fit a decent amount of food.
My favorite use for this is kebabs. Instead of having to not burn wooden sticks, I put all of the meat, vegetables, and halloumi cheese in the basket and grill them that way. Same great taste, but easier to deal with.
Keter Unity XL Portable Outdoor Table
Preparation and storage makes grilling perfection
This table provides extra storage space for all of your BBQ accessories and preparation necessities. The storage area is sealed to prevent moisture and bugs from getting in.
I have recently upgraded my outdoor living space and this looks fantastic next to my smoker, and it keeps all my grill equipment in one neat area.
Grill master
There are many accessories out there to help you create a seamless grilling experience. We've taken a look at what's on the market and have determined some of the best products you can get. You'll want utensils and tools that make a BBQ get-together easier and convenient.
We highly recommend the Grillaholics Grill Mat since it keeps your grill clean when cooking and makes the cleanup process so much easier afterward. Meat connoisseurs will love the Meater+ since it tells you exactly how to prepare your food to get it just the way you like it. The smartphone abilities make it incredibly handy so you can interact with friends and guests while glancing at your phone once in a while instead of repeatedly checking on the grill itself.
