The Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter is an essential tool for any griller who cooks with charcoal. With a chimney you’ll never to purchase lighter fluid again or struggle to evenly light a charcoal fire.

Butcher Paper w/ Dispenser by Meat Hugger

butcher paper with tomahawk steak
When it comes to yielding professional quality BBQ there’s perhaps no better hack than the Texas Crutch. Performing it effectively comes down to using the right material to wrap your meat during the smoking process. Meat Hugger’s Pink Butcher Paper is the right stuff. Unlike many other types of butcher paper, this heavy-duty natural paper has no wax coating and helps retain moisture so your smoked meats stay juicy inside.


Butcher paper is also more efficient than aluminum foil since this paper allows meat to keep cooking rather than getting steamed; so you end up with a nice gooey bark instead of something that more closely resembles pot roast. With quality butcher paper you’ll be the king of Texas crutch-style bark that’s just as gooey as Texas BBQ is supposed to be.

What makes this such a great grill accessory is because it can transform the everyday griller into a BBQ pitmaster. This is a great gift for grilling, but an even better gift for BBQ.

With this conversion kit you can transform a kettle (Weber) grill into a lean, mean, smoking machine.

This is like the infomercial product that actually does what it says it can do – it’s a must have for any grill master or for any one looking for gifts related to meat smokers. The Slow N’ Sear will work with most any style traditional grill.

KETTLEPIZZA

pizza-grill-gift-idea

Who hates pizza? That’s right, nobody. We’re normally not one for grill modifications most of them are gimmicks. While pizza-stones are effective in making pizza on the grill (or oven), the KettlePizza works better to obtain a real firebrick oven crust. Not only is it effective in its functionality, there’s something about sliding the peel in and pulling out a perfect looking brick oven pizza.

A good homemade pizza is all about high fast high heat, nothing on the market does a better job using existing equipment.

This works with kettle style grills that are 18.5” or 25.5” (this covers all Webers and most other kettle style grills). Our second best gadget for homemade pizza is the Baker Stone; you may want to consider this if you’re unsure if the person you are shopping for owns a kettle grill.

Tel-Tru BBQ Thermometer

This meat thermometer is a perfect gift for anyone who relies on the bi-dial thermometer that came stock with a grill or smoker. Those stock bi-dial metal temperature gauges aren’t reliable.

Unlike grilling, smoking meat is best done low-and-slow, maintaining an ambient temperature of 225 – 250°F throughout. This heavy-duty, high-quality thermometer from Tel-Tru is made in the USA from durable stainless steel. It measures anywhere form 100-500°F with +/- 1-degree accuracy, making it top-of-the-line.

The innovative hexagonal surface pattern helps to evenly crush and grind whole peppercorns more efficiently than traditional grinders with smooth surfaces. The grinder can produce up to 1/4 cup of finely-ground pepper in one minute.


We liked this model over the trending Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon because it was almost as good, but comes in at half the price. The HexClad gets the job done when it comes to yielding tons of pepper with ease. You’ll find this will become one of your favorite practical kitchen tools.

Davy Crockett Pellet Smoker

davy crockett pellet smoker

Want to get into pellet grilling, but don’t want to pay the big bucks? The Davy Crockett Grill from Green Mountain Grills is a lean, mean grilling machine that works just as well as the big-name pellet grills you see on TV, at half the price. We did a complete review on this grill where we compare it to the more expensive well-known Traeger smoker. The pellet smoker is large enough for two racks of ribs or 6 large steaks, or a ton of burgers at once.

At 57 pounds, it’s not exactly extremely light, but remains portable enough to throw in the back of a truck for camping, tailgating or any other occasion that calls for BBQ. You can power it with either 12V or 120AC power, plugging it into both your regular outlet and your car’s cigarette lighter when on the go. The price is right for anyone looking to get started with a pellet grill.

Best of all, the Davy Crocket Grill includes a meat probe and Sense-Mate, which allows you to monitor and control the grill’s internal temperature, all from your phone.
 

Brazilian Steakhouse Steak Knife Set

The Professional Brazilian Steakhouse Knife Set is the perfect gift for anyone, not just BBQ lovers. There is something about a brawny, heavy-duty steak knife that completes a meal. These knives are made by a Brazilian company that originally crafted machetes for clearing out acres of jungle in South America. Each knife in this box set is made using pointed, temper-ground, serrated, high-carbon stainless steel blades; in other words, just like a machete, they will cut through any type of meat. Whether you are looking at a tender, tough, burnt, or raw piece of meat, you can rest assured that your steak knife can handle anything. They are easy to care for because they are dishwasher safe, and the blade is rust and stain-resistant. The hardwood handle is secured with 3 rivets for a stable bond.

Weber Spirit II – Gas Grill

weber spirit

We stacked this bad boy side-by-side against 5 other top selling gas grills – the Weber Spirit was the #MeatGeek preferred winner.

Here’s what we learned throughout the process:

We had no problem getting a nice sear on steaks and burgers. Almost all the grills we reviewed were able to do this, some more evenly than others. Where the Weber Spirit excelled was in its ability to slow cook. Our racks of ribs came out tender and smoky. It’s sturdy design and quality materials make this a grill that will get the job done and stand the test of time.

The Weber Spirit II gas grill is designed with durable and solid cast aluminum, the lid is built of heavy duty steel. The vent on the back is comprised of just a single horizontal slit, verses multiple scattered vents.


Buy From Amazon

As for all the “important” features, BTUs and the amount of burners, really aren’t much of a factor. When it comes to gas grills there’s no substitute for design and a cookbox made with heavy duty metal. Our winner, the Weber Spirit E-210 had among the least BTUs compared to the other grills we tested and only three burners. However, there were five heat bars (flavorizers) which proved to be key in distributing even heat and allowing for fat drippings to turn into luscious smoke flavors.

UPDATE 5/24/21: This grill has been marked down significantly due to the rollout of the Spirit II E-310. The Spirit II 310 maintains the same design features that caused us to select the 210 as our preferred grill priced under $500, however, the 310 features an additional burner, 75 extra square inches, and about 4,000 extra BTUs.
 

LIZZQ Pellet Smoker Tube

pellet smoke tube on grill
A smoke tube is an exceptional bbq gift idea for anyone who doesn’t already have a smoker. The idea here is to transform a standard grill into a lean-mean-smoking-machine. By simply loading the tube with your favorite wood chips or pellets you can toss it over the heat on your standard gas or charcoal grill and get delicious smoky flavor infused into your food. Ideal for anything from grilling a steak to smoking a pork butt or brisket; even ideal for cold smoking to make smoked cheese if you want to use the tube for a cold smoke.


The 12-inch tube is made from stainless steel and can hold up to 2lbs of pellets. By adjusting the number of holes open or closed, users are able to adjust their smoke levels accordingly; from thin light blue smoke ideal for long cooking sessions, to thick white puffy smoke best for shorter cooks like grilling a steak.

Portable Infrared Grill

inferred portable grill

If you haven’t tried infrared grilling, you’re missing out. This portable, compact griller uses TPU infrared technology to cook juicy meats and delicious grilled vegetables, without the flame and smoke that usually accompany such traditions. An infrared between the propane-powered flame and the grill grates creates smooth, radiant heat, cooking your food more evenly than regular open-flame grilling, and without the flareups, scorching flames and charred meat. And with way less cleanup.

Thus, it is opportune for camping, tailgating and parties, where tons of smoke and greasy messes may not be welcome, and where you probably don’t feel like lugging around a full-size grill, and cleaning up after it later.

The Char-Broil reaches 600 degrees and gets down to a light simmer with a turn of knob, has 200 square inches of cooking space, and weighs about 20 pounds. The hefty cast aluminum build and sturdy legs ensures you take it into the woods and (gently) toss it around the car without damaging your tailgating grill.
 

Bug-A-Salt

cool outdoor gift

Here’s a funny grilling gift. But it’s not all fun and games – okay, it is; but it’s not just for the kids.

Salt + Gun = Dead Flies

The only problem is resisting the temptation to use it indoors – while you can, covering your house in salt may not go over so well with the Mrs. While it doesn’t work on bees or wasps, it works as advertised on flies and also other soft skeletal critters such as spiders and slugs. Flies have never been such a welcomed guest…and nothing draws flies like firing up the smoker – now you’ll be ready.

American Wagyu Black Grade Brisket

 

brisket bbq giftAmerican Wagyu brisket is the cream of the crop when it comes to brisket. Many of us commoners have a love-hate relationship with brisket because of its tendency to dry out. But Wagyu defies this stereotype.

Wagyu means Japanese cow, and in Japan, these cows were originally used like oxen because of their strength and endurance. All that hard work created a genetic predisposition for intramuscular fat, or as we loving refer to it, marbling. In a Wagyu, you will find a marbling that is consistent and superior in quality. Usually with brisket, an abundant marbling is rare, but with American Wagyu, you will find a seductively delicious marbling – the sign of quality BBQ. The marble siren of Wagyu is the key to counteracting the dryness problem most of us face with traditional briskets.

Wagyu beef is, arguably, the best beef in the world. The high-quality marbling is something you just don’t get with other briskets, and its rich and luxurious flavor makes it worth every penny. Shipping not included.

GrillGrate

Give the gift of perfect grilling with GrillGrates, the world’s greatest grilling surface. What makes GrillGrates the best grilling gifts in the world? Hard anodized aluminum, raised rails, and interlocking panels. Its patented design helps reduce flare-ups while transforming juice drippings into delicious smoke. Because the raised aluminum rails absorb and radiate heat evenly it helps to eliminating temperature spotting. The only downside (and why this grill accessory is not ranked hire on our list), they are a little pricy as you have to purchase more than one to cover an entire grill surface.

The raised rails will also give you those restaurant-quality sear marks while transforming drippings into tasty and delicious smoke. They can be used on top of your existing grate. Although they are amazing on any grill, they also work perfectly as a replacement for traditional grill grates that are rusted out or ruined making them more than just a grilling tool. Because of the efficacy of which these grate conduct heat, you’ll need to pay a little more attention to the temperature of your grill. The aluminum cast grates can run as much as 150 degrees hotter than the air in the hood, so keep that in mind when you start using these glorious grilling accessories.
