Top 3 Grilling Accessories

The best part about the summer, aside from it not snowing nonstop, is the food. Cold glasses of your grandmother’s best Sweet Tea, a scoop of Bourbon-Soaked Golden Raisin Ice Cream from Little Man’s, and most importantly, cook out food. The summer past-time of grilling is essential, and with Father’s Day and Independence Day right around the corner it’s only right that you step your grill game up.

So here are 3 grilling tools essential to help you become the grill master at your next cookout!

First up is the Weber Original Instant-Read Thermometer. Nobody likes biting into a chicken leg and seeing red. Kills an appetite faster than seeing Uncle Lenny in his beach speedo. Having a thermometer on deck to make sure your chicken is thoroughly cooked is the first, often over looked, step towards becoming a grill master.

You can’t command a grill properly without a good pair of tongs. Not the plastic cheap ones you toss salad with. We’re talking full stainless steel 16 inch tongs that can take the heat. Easy to clean, easier to use. Whether your flipping over burgers or lifting up searing hot grill lids, tongs are the Swiss Army Knives of Bar-B-Queuing and essential to your arsenal.

And lastly, a heavy duty stainless steel flat bottle opener. You know the struggle. Every year someone passes you an ice cold brew, and nobody has a bottle opener. You end up using your teeth, car keys, and kitchen counters to crack open a beer and it ends up becoming more of a hassle than it’s worth. There’s nothing flashy about this bottle opener and that’s precisely the point. It’s functional and large enough to give you some leverage to pop up a cold bottle easily in between checking on your steaks.
