The 33 Best Grilling Gifts for the BBQ Master

Good luck. Few populations are as obsessive as grillers. They've already got their preferred grill—be it gas, charcoal, or something portable, even something that'll fit on a balcony. So, buying them a grill is off the table, really.

What they will like, however, are grilling accessories, things like tongs, cleaning brushes, and spice rubs. You could even just get them some top-quality meat. But for the uninitiated, like you might be, understanding exactly what you should buy from any of those categories is nearly impossible.

That's where we come in. We are grill nerds through and through. We've tested a whole load of grills, from old fashioned to techy and new fangled. Through all of it, we've kept a running list of the things we actually want to be gifted. So, we compiled it all into one, easy to shop list. This is that list: The 33 best gifts for the grill master in your life.

4-Piece Grill Tool Set

A luxury grill tool set that comes with a nice-looking carry roll. They want it, but they'd never buy it for themselves. That's what makes it such a great gift.

Butcher Block

Sure it's expensive, but this beautiful butcher's block is the ideal canvas for them to present their art: A perfect medium-rare steak.

Tundra 45

The perfect vessel for keeping drinks cold while they're grilling. But it's also great for resting barbecued meats, allowing them to rest and pull apart (if that's the goal) without getting cold.

"Drizzle" Extra Virgin Olive Oil

You don't need a ton of fat when grilling, just a rich one to... ahem... Drizzle over veg and fish is perfect. Graza's olive oil is some of the best, and the squeeze bottle makes drizzling all the more easier.

RT-B380X Bullseye Deluxe

Wanna go big? Get them a smoker to go with the grill they already have. A kettle-shaped recteq pellet grill is the perfect introduction into smoking. Doing pork shoulder low-and-slow could not be any easier. Hit a button, load the pellets, and come back when it's done.

Grill & Smoker

Or for something ultra portable, get them a suitcase grill. It's pricey, but NOMAD makes the best one on the market.

15-Inch Cast Iron Skillet

A cast iron skillet turns any old grill into an open-air stovetop. It's the perfect tool for searing steaks, sautéing smaller vegetables, and techniques where you want to keep fat from your meat. And there's none better than a classic Lodge 15-inch.

Carbon Steel Griddle

Though it's not as versatile as a Lodge skillet, this griddle can turn a grill into a flat top—perfect for things like smashburgers, fajitas, and egg scrambles. It's so good, in fact, it won an Esquire Home Award.

Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning

A three-pack of the best Cajun seasonings out there. Salty, peppery, and hot, they're great as rubs or as seasoning for vegetables.

Jerk Sauce Pack

But for cooking something lean, like chicken or fish, a sauce really helps retain moisture. The jerk sauce from—appropriately named—Sauces by Jrk is one of our absolute favorites.

On Fire

Mallmann is the GOAT of fine open fire grilling, which is already an art in Argentina. His cookbook is full of great recipes and musings on grilling.

Apron

Ben Davis is the cooler American workwear brand from the West Coast. The brand uses its sturdy cotton-poly blend fabric—and very sick gorilla logo—to make an apron that's just cooler than anything they already own.

Smart Meat Thermometer

A meat thermometer that takes internal and ambient temperature? With a pairing app?? Revolutionary.

First Class Filets Pack

If you really love him, filets are a way straight to his heart.

Your name on your steak. I bet your grill master doesn't have that.

Grill Brush Cleaning Kit

Leather and Suede BBQ Gloves

With the option to monogram, there's nothing these gloves can't handle.

Good Grips 16-Inch Locking Tongs

My dad swears by these tongs, and trust me, he's gone through his fair share. Plus, OXO is always a safe bet.

A gift that gives him options; whichever way he chooses to orient this wooden block, it serves its purpose.

One of the best grilling baskets on the market, there's always a use for a new (and superior) one of these.

Rotisserie

Now he can rotisserie just about everything. We know he's been dying to.

Derek Wolf Spirit-Infused Signature Blends, Set of Four

Four rubs with notes of their favorite liquors. It takes all the guesswork out of pairing the drinks and main course.

Barbecue Grill Brush and Scraper

More grilling hygiene because there's nothing as underrated as a good brush and scraper.

In case the other sampler set wasn't gourmet enough, this one is sure to step up to the challenge.
