22 Super-Hot Gifts for Grillers at All Levels
published about 3 hours ago
Here at Kitchn we believe grilling (and smoking) is a year-round activity. We believe that meat, veggies, and desserts are better when they’re flame-kissed. And we’re willing to bet that you know someone who feels the same way. You know, that person who braves the elements — whether it’s a 90-degree day with equally high humidity or one with a foot of snow outside. Nothing can keep these masters — or wannabe masters — from their proper place in front of a grill or next to a smoker.
This year, we’ve got all the gifts to help this person make their next creation the best one yet. We suggest you pick out a few … and then hope they invite you over for dinner.
Tools
Carbon steel is a great conductor of heat, and this pan, made especially for grilling, is no exception. It can withstand temperatures up to 1,200°F and it has 62 perforations. What are the perforations for? They allow the flames to hit the food but still contain all those small items (like asparagus and shrimp) that otherwise wouldn't stand a chance on a grill grate.
There are a lot of great grilling thermometers out there, but most of them have one really annoying feature: wires! Help your loved one go wireless with this clever meat thermometer. They'll just insert the probe into whatever is going onto the grill, then they'll be able to monitor all the action via an app that works with both Apple and Android phones.
There are lots of reasons this apron is so popular: It looks great, it feels great, and, most importantly, it performs well. Celebrity chefs often sport them on prime-time shows and lots of restaurants have their kitchen AND front-of-the house staff wear them because they just look so darn good.
If you know someone who is using a mishmash of old tools while they're behind the grill, it’s time to upgrade their game. This four-piece set has everything they'll need (plus an extra basting brush head) — all with durable handles that allow for a comfortable and secure grip.
All grill pans are not created equal. Trust us! This investment piece is sure to get a lot of use on a cooktop, or outside on the grill. Its slim design ensures it fits nicely over one burner, while high ridges help to elevate food from drippings and create impressive sear marks. The extra large handles also make it a lot easier to carry than other grill pans.
Throw something new at your grill-loving buddy. This Thai-style log charcoal is made from orchard-grown rambutan fruit wood, which imparts a mild flavour while cooking. It burns hot and lasts a long time.
A magnetic base and a flexible gooseneck ensure that this ultra-bright light will illuminate all the right places. It comes in a set of two so your grill master can keep an eye on those steaks no matter how late it is.
Nothing attracts flies and other winged foes like a sweet BBQ sauce. Help the rib-baster in your life keep theirs safe with this lidded basting pot and brush.
No one is going to argue the fact that cleanup is the worst part of the grilling experience. Help someone make the experience faster and easier with this sturdy, stainless-steel wire brush. It's a favorite among the grillers here at Kitchn!
If you want to spoil someone a little, this tabletop pizza oven could do the trick. The gas-fueled powerhouse gets to temperature in just 15 minutes (wow!) and cooks a pizza in just 60 seconds (double wow).
No one actually invites mosquitoes, horseflies, hornets, and the common fly to their backyard bash, but sometimes they show up anyway. Help a host keep them at bay with these incense-like sticks that repel unwanted guests when lit. They're ridiculously effective and often sell out, so buy them when you see them!
Steak knives all kind of look the same: sharp blade and a boring wood handle. But then there are these knives from Misen. Their modern, colorful take on this necessary tool is refreshing and will surely put a smile on anyone's face.
This iconic grill is popular for many reasons. It’s compact, lightweight, retains heat well and has a great surface area for cooking away from home — and it’s fairly inexpensive. This would be a great pick for a kid who has recently left the nest, newlyweds just starting out, or even apartment dwellers who want to be able to (legally!) set up a grilling session in a park.
A great foundation is the key to a great fire, and a chimney is the tool that’s going to provide that. This classic design from an iconic brand will help your charcoal grill build a smart, hot fire in mere minutes.
This unique cable-style skewer allows the grill master in your life to skewer twice as much food as a conventional stick skewer. That’s a game-changer when feeding a hungry crowd!
Grilling food atop wood planks helps impart nutty, smoky, and other delightful flavors onto fish, meat, and more. This sampler, with five different kinds of wood, is the perfect way for someone to try out this technique.
Meat & Other Edible Treats
Beef. It’s what’s for dinner. Tonight. And the next night. And the night after that, too. This generous sampler pack includes nine awesome steaks (a mix of three cuts) from 100% grass-fed cows with no hormones or antibiotics. Let that grill master in your life show you what they’ve got up their sleeve!
Who doesn't fancy some shrimp on the barbie? Get that (along with a whole wild sea bass!) for your pescatarian grill master — or anyone else who enjoys eating the freshest fish around.
Barbecue sauce comes in so many styles it can be hard to keep track of them all. For those who aren’t wed to their favorite variety, this sampler pack offers up a nice selection of finger-licking-good options to baste ribs, chicken, and more with.
Sure, these rubs work especially well on whatever someone is grilling — that is what they were developed for. But with flavors like Korean BBQ and Smoky Honey Habanero, they’re also a great way to season a pot roast, broiled fish, and more.
Just for Fun
Standing at a hot grill can be, well, hot. Really hot. So be a pal and help out the person who makes sure your burgers are cooked with just the right amount of pinkness. This bottle can help them stay hydrated while they’re standing on the job.
