These guides are geared towards specific interests. You’ll be able to find something for even the toughest person on your Christmas shopping list.
Top 5 Grilling Gifts
1) Chimney of Insanity Charcoal Chimney
Don’t let the name fool you. This charcoal chimney is a super-smart update of the typical design that helps get fires burning faster and hotter. An elbow-shaped vent allows for better airflow and means you can add your starter from the side—no more lifting a full chimney to light it, and no need for lighter fluid, either.
2) Corn Butter Knife - Set of 2
Butter your cob right the first time. This corn butterer conforms to the cob’s contour and distributes it evenly—not a kernel left behind. Its curved stainless steel blade has a beveled edge so you can scoop straight from the tub or slice the stick, then spread in a single motion. Plus, there are two knives so you don’t have to wait your turn.
3) Smoking Pouch & Wood Chips Set
A smoking pouch and wood chips set is the solution to smoky-tasty grilled foods. The durable stainless steel pouch is filled with the included mesquite, apple, or hickory wood chips. As the pouch heats, chips smolder white smoke, infusing food with flavor without extra effort.
4) 3 Color Thermometer
This patented steak thermometer uses three LED lights to tell you when the steak is medium rare, medium, and medium well. No more guessing and no more raw or overdone meat. Get your steak exactly right, every time with SteakChamp. (Works on grill, oven, or stovetop and with duck, fish, and game, too.)
5) 5-in-1 Steel Scissors
Glide these tempered steel, multipurpose scissors through virtually anything. Their soft, fitted grip and curved blades are made to last and accommodate lefties and righties alike. With built-in features to crack nuts, crush garlic, open bottles, and strip wire, these heavy-duty blades are definitely the sharpest tool in the shed, kitchen, office, garage . . .
