Essential BBQ Gadgets and Accessories for 2024

Want to step up your BBQ game? Looking for the perfect gift for the grillmaster in your life? 

Then you're going to want to know all about these gadgets!

#1) Steak Brands

You see them on TV all the time, especially on restaurant commercials. They grill up the meat, and then someone presses a brand right into the steak. It makes that great sizzle sound, and then the logo gets left behind.

Well, now you can do a version of the same thing, because steak brands are hot this year. You can get personalized ones with your initials, or, if you don't want to get that crazy, brands that just say "BBQ." Some even have pictures on them. 

#2) Heat Resistant Gloves

Safety first is the way to go when you're dealing with the high heat that creates great meat. That's why this is the year you should finally think about investing in some heat-resistant grilling gloves.

Go for silicone non-stick gloves that can resist up to 1472℉ in extreme heat, and you'll ensure that none of your back-yard getaways end in injuries. 

#3) LED Grill Lights

Whether you love to grill in the dark or do so as a simple matter of necessity, an LED grill light that clips onto your rig can really work wonders for helping you manage your meat.

They come in numerous varieties, though we like adjustable screw clamp lamps that can attach to any surface and which won't move around once the grilling gets going. 

#4) Electric Charcoal Fire Starter

You'll never struggle to light up your coals again if you invest in an electro-torch. You can say goodbye to lighter fluid, matches, lighters, and other frustrating old school grill lighting solutions while igniting your grill or your coals in less than 2 minutes.

The result? Meat that tastes better and fewer trips to the store. 

#5) Pizza Makers for the Grill

Everybody loves BBQ, but everybody loves pizza too. Sadly, these days the price of delivery has gone up enough to require a second mortgage, but never fear. If you've got a grill, then you've got a pizza solution.

Grill top pizza ovens with pizza peels and cutters allow you to get the classic pizza experience right on your existing grill. Want something smaller? Invest in a few personal grilled personal pizza makers, which will allow everyone in your yard to choose the toppings they love best.  

#6) Himalayan Pink Salt Stone

We've spent some time on our blog covering how salt blocks can enhance your BBQ experience. You can cure meat or fish on the block overnight, or grill right on the block. Just keep the heat low so the block doesn't crack.

When the grilling is done you can serve the food right on the block. And yes, the salt block will season your food to perfection. 

#7) Shredder Claws

You could pull pork with a fork, but why would you when you can use heavy duty hand-held meat claws instead? Meat claws make the entire shredding process faster, easier, and, let's face it, a lot more fun.

Most varieties are dishwasher safe and ergonomically designed, which means your hands will be comfortable throughout the process.
