You know the drill. Every weekend he's out at the grill, and every weekend the kitchen looks like a crime scene. There's a cooler full of damp towels and a cutting board balanced on the trash can.
He already bought the meat, the wood and the fourth thermometer. What he hasn't bought are the things that make the whole operation easier (and, let's be honest, make your kitchen cleaner).
So here's our list of BBQ gifts for your husband, sorted by the kind of griller you married.
If you're not sure where to start
These are our best sellers. If you only buy one gift, start here.
Ultimate BBQ Starter Bundle. The gift that turns a grill owner into a grill-er. It comes with the 3-piece prep tub, the Rest EZ BBQ Blanket and Grill Mitts, so he gets the whole system at once.
Rest EZ BBQ Blanket. If he's resting meat in a drink cooler wrapped in your good bath towels, this is your gift. It holds heat better through a long rest, and you get your towels back. (Here's why resting matters.)
BBQ & Meal Prep Tub. He can trim, rub and marinate in it, carry it all out to the smoker, then wash it and serve from it. It collapses flat when he's done. That means less mess on your counter, which makes it a gift for both of you.
If he's up at 4 a.m. to start the smoker
Rest EZ 'Que Crib Meat Resting Station. For the husband who's started saying "competition" out loud. It's insulated and latched, big enough for two XL tubs, and has a bamboo board on top so he can carve right where the meat rested.
Brisket Master Carving Bundle. If you've heard "I'm going to bed, the brisket's on" more than once this year, he's earned a proper set of carving knives.
Waxed Canvas BBQ Apron. He'd never buy himself a nice apron. That's exactly why you should.
If he's a weeknight griller
3-pc Prep Tub Set. Junior, Original and XL: one for the sides, one for the main, one for whatever's thawing.
Magnetic Grill Accessories Collection. For the husband who asks "have you seen my tongs?" every single cook. Now they stick right by the grill.
Grill & Go Bundle. For the husband who packs the grill for every tailgate and campsite.
Stocking stuffers under $50
BBQ Meat Claws. They turn a pork butt into pulled pork in about ninety seconds, and they're a satisfying way to end a long cook.
DB's Original Rub. Our house blend, refined over years of grilling and smoking. It's great on chicken, pork and even fish.
BBQ Grill Mitts. They're rated up to 480 degrees, so no more hop-and-hiss dance when he pulls a hot tub off the grate.
EZ Clean Drip Bucket Liners. Not glamorous, but if he has a pellet grill, he'll love these.
He'll be the one cooking at the next holiday party. With these, you'll both enjoy it more. Save us a plate.
