I had to call in reinforcements for this gift guide! My husband, Ian, spent many years just outside of Memphis and knows a think or two about all things grilling! He personally picked most of these items, and approved of all the ones I added (not to pat myself on the back 😉)! Below you will find our combined list for the Best Grilling Gifts for Him!

The Ultimate Gift Guide for Grilling Enthusiasts
Grilling Essentials: Must-Have Tools for Every BBQ Lover
When it comes to grilling, having the right tools can make all the difference. From high-quality grilling spatulas and tongs to meat thermometers and grill brushes, there are a variety of essential items that every BBQ aficionado needs in their arsenal. These tools not only make grilling more convenient, but they also ensure that the food is cooked to perfection.
27 piece BBQ Tool Gift Set: This set has it all to keep your King of the Grill ready to prepare a feast! This set contains high quality utensils that are dishwasher safe and have extended handles that will keep his hands further away from the heat of the grill.
Meat Hook: This hook allows you to easily flip and position meat on the grill without losing any juices!
Sauce Pot with Basting Brush: This easy to clean 16 oz sauce pot with built in basting brush is exactly what you need to evenly coat whatever you are grilling in delicious sauces!
Bear Paws Shredder Claws: This is one of the few items on this list that even I use in the kitchen! This is the quickest and easiest way I evenly shred my crock pot chicken taco meat. I love when Ian uses these to make perfectly shredded pork too!
Meater WiFi Meat Thermometer: This is the item I see guys geek out over when they see Ian use it! This wireless meat thermometer allows you to cook your food to the exact degree of your choosing by sending you alerts to your phone while you are up to 165 feet away using bluetooth and WiFi. Cut out the guesswork and always ensure your meat is grilled to perfection by setting up custom alerts and the advanced cooking algorithm estimates the cooking time and rest time! This specific one comes with 4 probes, but if you want to try it out with just a single probe this is the one for you!
Sous Vide Precision Cooker: This French method of cooking allows you to cook your meat to the exact degree, ensuring a perfectly cooked steak every single time. We also love cooking pork in our Sous Vide, but I've heard of cooking everything in this thing, even cakes!! After the meat comes out Ian does a quick sear on the grill to give a nice crust and enjoy! You will never over or undercook a meal again thanks to this thing! You can also get this Souse Vide Cooking Container with lid to encourage proper water circulation and this Vacuum Sealer to seal your meat in its marinade and cook in its juices for a juicy, flavorful meal every single time!
Bristle Free Grill Brush: This bristle free brush was developed by firefighters using heat resistant fabric that allows this grill cleaning brush to be metal free! I love this because it means there is no chance of those little metal bristles breaking off and getting stuck in your food. This also only requires heat and water to simply clean the grill surface with steam, keeping the food surface chemical free! This brush has been tested on numerous gas, charcoal, pellet, and flat-top grills! Clean up is also a breeze, you simply pop off the reusable fabric brush head from the heat resistant handle and pop it in the dishwasher! This is the only grill brush we use!
Collapsible Cutting Board BBQ Prep Basket: Ian loves how this makes coating different cuts of meats super easy and efficient. It also traps any juices and allows for easy transport from the kitchen to the grill without making a mess.
Upgrade Their Grilling Game: Unique Gifts for the Grill Master
For the grill master who already has all the basics covered, consider gifting them with unique and innovative grilling accessories. From smoker boxes and cedar planks for adding delicious smoky flavors to Himalayan salt blocks for a gourmet grilling experience, these gifts can take their grilling game to the next level and add a touch of creativity to their outdoor cooking adventures.
Smoker Box: This wood chip smoker box grill accessory allows you to add that signature smoky BBQ flavor on gas or charcoal grills without committing to a separate smoker.
Cedar Grilling Planks: Add additional flavor to salmon or vegetables with these grilling cedar planks. Simply soak them in water and add your food onto prior to grilling. It is suggested that these be single use when using on the grill, while you can get multiple uses if used in the oven.
Himalayan Salt Block Cooking Plate: Enhance the flavors of your foot with this kosher food grade Himalayan salt block. Perfect for steak, fish, seafood, vegetables, and more!
Butcher Paper Roll: Keep your meat moist and tender by wrapping it up in this butcher paper perfect for smoking. This butcher paper also helps meat reach the desired tempter evenly and quickly.
Marinade Basket: I love this specific marinade basket because it comes with a built in stainless steel grilling basket that allows you to strain your marinaded meat from the marinade and go directly to the grill without needing to touch the raw meat! There is also a lid that securely snaps into place to avoid any spills while storing in the refrigerator as your meat soaks up all the flavor from the marinade. These marinading trays are also honorable mentions: Tupperware flippable marinading tray, and this Stackable Prep and Serve marinade tray.
Natural Hardwood Wood Lump Grill Charcoal: Natural clean burning high quality ingridients that won't mess with the overall flavor
Magnetic Grill Light: Shh don't tell Ian but I'm getting him these handy little battery operated grill lights for Christmas this year. We never seem to have enough light by the grills at night, to the point he wears a head lamp while grilling! I'm hoping these lights add enough focused task light for him while he is cooking. I love that they are magnetic so they won't fall over and that they have a flexible neck so he can really direct the light where he needs it!
Wrap It Up: Personalized Grilling Aprons and Accessories
Add a personalized touch to their grilling experience with custom-made grilling aprons and accessories. Whether it's a monogrammed apron, a set of engraved grilling tools, or a personalized cutting board, these items can make the grilling process feel even more special and show that you've put thought into creating a unique and meaningful gift for the grill enthusiast in your life.
Customizable Leather Apron: I love that this leather apron is a multipurpose gift as it can also hold tools when not being used for the grill. The fact you can personalize it gives a special touch.
Personalized Cutting Board: This cutting board is a great option for anyone who spends time in the kitchen, not just grilling. I love that there are multiple options for personalization and that it has a rim to catch juices around the entire board, perfecting for slicing and serving that perfectly grilled steak on!
Steak Branding Iron: This steak branding tool is perfect to make a lasting impression when searving up dinner.
Personalized Grill Tool Kit: This grill tool kit will put a smile on their face everytime they pull it out to grill up something tasty and see how much thought you put into a meaningful, and useful gift!
