Grill and Smoker Accessories
BBQ Grill Gloves
I can’t tell you how many times these gloves have saved my fingers and hands from a nasty burn. I use these every time I have to move meat or pick up a grate, pizza stone, etc that’s still too hot to touch. $14.99. Purchase
ChickCAN Rack
These racks are absolutely perfect for smoking beer can chicken. I purchased two so I can do two at a time. Simple to clean – just throw them in the dishwasher after cooking. $8.30. Purchase
Fire Starters
These fire starters work incredibly well for lighting your Kamado. You get 144 of them in a box, but I typically rip one in half and use the two halves to light two areas of charcoal. $18.99. Purchase
Ivation Wireless BBQ Thermometer
There’s a reason this is the #1 selling grill thermometer on Amazon. It’s wireless capability is good for 300 feet and I can attest to that – it works throughout my entire house and yard. I love that I can also set temperature alarms and be alerted if my grill or my meat is above or below a specific temperature threshold. $59.99. Purchase
Meat Rakes
Meat Rakes make pulling apart chicken, pork, and other kind of meat that needs to be pulled a walk in the park. The stainless steel tines are super resilient and they can be placed in the dishwasher without worry. $17.95. Purchase
Pizza Peel
Sprinkle this pizza peel with a little cornmeal and you’ll be sliding pizzas into and out of your Kamado with ease – just like the pros do at your local pizzeria! Accommodates a 14″ pizza perfectly. $12. Purchase.
Rib Rack
I originally purchased this rib rack to fit on my 14″ Weber Smokey Mountain smoker and while it worked wonderfully there, it works just as well on a Kamado. Holds four racks perfectly. $9.99. Purchase
Thermapen
The Thermapen is a godsend to backyard BBQers because it precisely measures temperatures, to the tenth of a degree, in as little as 3 seconds. With the Thermapen, you’ll never serve another under or over-cooked piece of meat again! My full review. $96. Purchase
Weber Grill Tools
My wife gave me this set of grill tools last Father’s Day and I cannot say enough good things about them. Despite abusing them on a regular basis, they still look and function as good as new. Incredibly happy with this set of grill tools. $29.99. Purchase
