Top 10 Barbecue Christmas Gifts for 2010
Christmas is just a few short panic-striken weeks away and there isn’t a great deal of time left to organize the perfect present for the BBQ’ers in our families.
These are the top 10 BBQ products of 2010.
1) Oregon Scientific AW131 Grill Right Wireless Talking Oven/Barbeque Thermometer
We’ll let you know when your BBQ is ready from a football field away! No need to wait by the grill to find out when dinner is ready–this wireless thermometer verbally alerts you when the meat has reached the perfect temperature.
Program your choice of eight entrées, choose the doneness desired and you’re good to grill. Features include: Digital LCD screen with remote wireless probe to identify temperature/readiness of meat;
The Oregon Scientific wireless thermometer unit speaks in five different languages with corresponding display (English, Spanish, German, French, Danish); and Programmable entrée programs include beef, lamb, veal, hamburger, pork, turkey, chicken, and fish.
Once you have used it you’ll wonder how you ever did without it!
2) The Original Grillslinger BBQ Tool Belt
For the outdoor cook who finds that sometimes two hands just aren’t enough, the Original Grillsliner BBQ tool belt makes multi-tasking between gourmet burgers, seared ahi, and marinated veggies a cinch.
This handy chef’s aid features a wide, nylon belt with four deep, reinforced side pockets that can each hold a number of larger sized tools. Included is a starter set of three popular utensils: a wide spatula, an all-purpose knife, and scalloped tongs, all with long, sturdy rubber handles to keep hands safe and cool near the grill.
The belt adjusts easily with a sliding silver buckle engraved with the handsome Grillslinger logo, and the black and gray color scheme looks sleek while hiding those inevitable sauce stains.
Crafted of sturdy, heavyweight metal, the tools store right in the belt, and everything goes into a handy mesh bag between uses. This is a great gift for Dads, BBQ enthusiasts, new homeowners, and RV campers.
3) Grill Daddy Pro Grill Brush
The Grill Daddy Pro is a revolutionary grill-cleaning tool that sterilizes as it cleans to keep food tasting great. Just turn on the grill, fill the Grill Daddy with water, and begin cleaning. Steams away baked-on food, grease, and black residue.
It’s fun and easy to use, eliminating hard scraping and dangerous chemicals with steam-cleaning and stainless steel bristles. The Grill Daddy Pro works on all BBQ grills, including stainless steel, iron, and porcelain enamel and is made from highly durable NSF-approved materials.
4) Weber 7416 RapidFire Charcoal Chimney Starter
This is the absolute best way to get your grill going. Unlike the little chimneys sold at Lowe’s, this holds a lot of charcoal, enough to fill an entire kettle grill, and the airflow through it is very efficient.
Two sheets of newspaper and a match, and your briquettes will be ready to go in 10-15 minutes.
The aluminized finish on this resists heat and rust quite well. Other reviewers have commented on the helper handle, but the really key feature of this chiminey starter is the conical wire grid inside that holds up the charcoal.
Unlike perforated metal plate inside the no-name chimeny starters, this wire grid lets all of the flame from the newspaper through to the charcoal, resulting in the charcoal lighting in half the time.
All of that, and it isn’t any more expensive that the no-name brands. Bigger, faster, and more durable. What more could you ask for?
5) Mr. Bar-B-Q 18-Piece Stainless-Steel Grill Tool Set
Serious barbecuers need serious tools, and this 18-piece set is about as serious as you can get. All the pieces are constructed of commercial quality stainless steel with wooden handles, and the six large tools feature textured rubber finger-grips.
The set includes four steak-house quality knives that melt through even the thickest steak; precision grip tongs that pick up even a small slice of onion; three-pronged fork; long-handled knife; eight corn holders; basting brush; grill brush; and a 4-in-1 spatula that cuts with a sharp serrated edge, tenderizes meat, drains grease while lifting foods, and opens bottles.
Held neatly contained in a durable plastic 23-by-12-by-3-inch carrying case, the set makes an impressive gift for the avid outdoor chef, and is covered by a reassuring five-year warranty against defects.
6) Weber 6433 Saucing System
For year
