Recommended Grilling Accessories
Meat Thermometer/Timer (A Must)
The outside temperature, wind conditions, pellet fuel variety and the altitude at which you live affect cooking
times. The best way to ensure your meat has reached the proper temperature and is ready to eat is to
purchase a good quality meat thermometer. We recommend a digital model and particularly like those that
feature wireless, remote readouts. Follow thermometer manufacturer’s instruction to use.
Tongs
Use tongs rather than a fork for turning and handling meats to avoid losing the natural juices. Extra large ones
with long handles allow you to grip a variety of delicate foods.
Basting Brush
You may need a selection of these because you should not use the same brush in two different marinades.
Use to apply your favorite sauces and marinades to foods on the grill. Again look for one with a long handle to
keep you hands away from the heat. Natural bristles that are cut at a 45* angle make it easier to baste large
cuts of meat.
Spatulas
A must for turning those delicious burgers and fish filets. Again, look for a long, sturdy handle and the widest
blade possible. The holes in the blade prevent the build-up of steam, which could make your food soggy.
Aluminum Foil
Extra-strength foil is always useful for grilling. Used to make foil packages, cover food, or to fold up into a flat
dish to act as a drip pan. Also used to speed up cooking, protect bones from burning, and to keep foods warm.
Drip / Roast Pans
Used to prevent flare-ups, keep food from drying out, eliminate basting, and catch those flavorful juices that
drip from the meat. Various juices can also be added to the pan to impart a desired flavor, such as apple,
lemon, cranberry, pineapple, any cola, etc.
Grill Baskets
Perfect for cooking foods that are difficult to handle on the grill, such as vegetables, seafood, fish and certain
cuts of meats. Usually made out of nickel-plated steel these baskets are made of two identical halves being
held together with hinges. Not only do they protect food, and make handling easier, but also allow for different
foods to be combined and grilled together without piercing the food.
Griddle
One of the most used accessories for those grill enthusiasts that enjoy cooking any foods outdoor. Use to grill
complete breakfasts, grill sandwiches, and toast fajitas. Griddles allow you to cook all your bacon and
sausages outdoors, and they’re great for grilling vegetables, stir-frying, and searing.
Cooking Racks
Nickel-plated roast racks and rib racks are a great way to increase your cooking pleasure. Roast racks can be
used to enhance the convective cooking capabilities of your grill by allowing the smoke flavored air to move
around the entire roast evenly. Rib racks are a great way to increase your capacity of your grill for those large
gatherings. They can also be used for chops and chicken pieces. (Additional small grates are available for
purchase and will allow you to significantly increase your total cooking surface.)
