Top 5 Grilling Gifts
1) Stingray BBQ Multitool
TNK: Stingray BBQ Multitool - Red
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) Team Spirit Spatula
Sportula: Team Spirit Spatula - NHL - New York Islanders
4) Corn Butter Knife - Set of 2
Butter your cob right the first time. This corn butterer conforms to the cob’s contour and distributes it evenly—not a kernel left behind. Its curved stainless steel blade has a beveled edge so you can scoop straight from the tub or slice the stick, then spread in a single motion. Plus, there are two knives so you don’t have to wait your turn.
5) Chimney of Insanity Charcoal Chimney
Don’t let the name fool you. This charcoal chimney is a super-smart update of the typical design that helps get fires burning faster and hotter. An elbow-shaped vent allows for better airflow and means you can add your starter from the side—no more lifting a full chimney to light it, and no need for lighter fluid, either.
