Top 5 Grilling Gifts
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Pellet Grill Drip Pan Liner - 12-Pack

Drip EZ®: Pellet Grill Drip Pan Liner - 12-Pack - Small
4) Classic 3-Piece BBQ Set

Sportula: Classic 3-Piece BBQ Set - College - Utah Utes
5) BBQ Rib Skinner

This BBQ rib skinner gets to the meat of the matter. Crafted from sturdy steel with precise jaws and a non-slip grip, it easily removes membranes from pork and beef in one stroke. Without that extra fatty layer, seasoning can reach meat directly for a meal with more tasty tenderness.
