In the laundry room, I have a shelf where thermometers, stalk light, and clean tools go.
On the deck, I have a storage container where the charcoal, wood chunks, disposable alum pans, lighters, starter cubes, alum foil, shop towels, radio, gloves, rib racks, grills, pie irons, etc live. ...but
MOST importantly, it's where the beer fridge is.
On the opposite side of the deck from the storage container is the nerve center of the operation. The chimney starter, coffee can with both ends cut out, grill brush, cast iron lid lifter (aka charcoal bag opener), cast iron lid trivet, charcoal tongs, ash can, thermometer post, etc.
