BBQ Equipment.

What "must have" BBQ goodies do you own?

I'm working on a "wish list" for my birthday next month!

 

[Wolgast]

well a good thermometer is always nice to have. Like a maverik ET-732 or a thermapen(or both)

A good set of tongs.

And ofc a good camera

Thats all you need i guess.

 

[Jeff R]

An instant read digital thermometer
A remote meat probe
A good grate scraper
Cast iron skillets
100# of NY Strips

- At least one good digital probe thermometer that can monitor the temp during the cook.

- stock up on spices at Sam's or BJ's or Costco.......much better than buying the little jars at the supermarket

- a good BBQ brush/baster......I use the large Kitchen Aid utensils and they are sweet

that's it for me, everything else I have is pretty vanilla......WSM 22 and lots of disposable aluminum pans for rubbing/storing/transferring meat

Others here can speak to this better than I can but here's a start:

Charcoal Grills:
- Weber chimney starter
- Rotisserie (not cheap, looking to get one someday)
- Weber slide-aside lid holder (only if you have a OTS/G w/out a lid holder)

Either Charcoal or Gas Grill:
- Thermapen (not cheap, wonderful for all cooking/grilling/BBQ)
- Good tongs
- Cedar planks
- Rib rack

A remote thermometer for the pit and food. Don't only cook by temp, but knowing the temps can help give guidence when starting out.

 

[Phil Perrin]

Tongs.
Instant read thermo.
Dedicated pot holders or bbq/welding gloves.
Charcoal chimney.
And most important,BEER!

Beer, good call on that one Phil.

I'm a die hard lover of Sam Adams Octoberfest. Just picked up 4 cases of it so I'll have some to drink all year long!

 

[Tim Quon]

A good cleaver & cutting board for chopping up the bark from my Pulled Pork.
A great site such as this one to learn and experiment with different recipes.

 

[Jerry N.]

Gloves. I thick pair for dealing with hot items like the charcoal bowl and a waterproof pair for handling meat.

 

[Rita Y]

3 or 4 sheet pans (I use mine every day for 100 purposes other than grilling or barbecuing.)

A restaurant-size roll of heavy-duty aluminum foil

A vacuum-sealer is a nice extra.

 

[James Harvey]

Disposable food gloves. I paid a few bucks for a 50 pack.
Along the same lines, a crappy pair of gardening gloves to use when placing briqs or lump in your cooker. Charcoal dust is like rib sauce, it takes days to get it all off.
