1. An electric lighter that'll help you spark up your grill without worrying about wind or fluid refills. It's also a little friendlier on the planet, since you can recharge it over and over.
2. A plant-based grill cleaning oil that'll help you clean the greasy gunk on your BBQ, while keeping your grill in tip-top condition. It's made with refined coconut oil that'll keep your metal from corroding and citrus essential oils to keep it smelling fresh.
3. And a wooden paddle scraper that'll help you push all the residue off. It's less harsh on your grills than metal alternatives and it'll actually mould to the shape of your grills over time.
4. A cast iron smashed-burger press that'll help you make those “juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside” type of patties. It's heavy enough that it'll keep your burg flat and all the tasty flavour in.
5. A melting dome that'll concentrate the heat from your grill to cook your food more thoroughly or help melt your cheese. Reviewers also love it for keeping food warm and free of bugs until it's time to eat.
6. A portable charcoal grill that's perfect for smaller spaces (or if you just don't want to spend tons of money on a full-sized BBQ). It's small enough that you can also bring it with you on a camping trip.
7. A pair of shredding claws that'll help you tear apart meat for pulled pork or chicken salad in under a minute. You can also use one to hold onto a roast while you cut it, so you won't burn your fingers.
8. A set of flat, reusable metal skewers that'll keep your food from rolling around while it's on the grill. The tips are sharp enough that you can pierce your meat and veggies without struggle, and they're way sturdier to eat off of than disposable wooden skewers.
9. A pair of heat-resistant gloves that'll help you prevent accidental burns while you're cooking and touching hot tools. Unlike oven mitts, they'll actually allow you to freely move your fingers so you won't drop anything.
10. A wood chip box that'll help you infuse some delicious smokey flavour into your food. You can put it right on the grill with your food or throw it underneath with the charcoal — whatever floats your boat.
11. A bottle of Stubb's sticky-sweet BBQ sauce that's so tasty, you'll want to smother it all over everything. Reviewers say it tastes good on any type of meat and with any style of cooking.
12. A water-repellent grill cover that'll help your barbeque get through a rainy day or the Canadian winter. It's made for any condition, with Velcro straps to keep it from blowing away, side mesh for ventilation, and UV-resistant material to prevent it from crackling.
13. A pair of heat-resistant grill lights that'll help you see your workspace when your BBQ night goes a little later than expected. They have magnetic bases, so they should be able to just stick right onto the hood of your grill.
14. A rotisserie attachment for when you want to cook a full chicken, ham, or fish evenly (low and slow is the way to go). It's fully electric, so you won't have to stand there cranking a lever for hours.
15. A propane gauge, so you're no longer stuck guesstimating whether you have enough propane again. It has a built-in leak detector that'll restrict the flow of gas if your hose or grill malfunctions.
16. A grill basket that'll help your veggies cook without them falling through the cracks. It has a locking lid, so your eats won't go flying out before they hit the table.
17. A food thermometer that you can use to check if your meat is cooked enough to eat. There's a hold function that'll help you keep track of your last measurement, and you can toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
18. A pack of grilling mats that'll save you from a big cleaning job, if you're just cooking up something quick (or just hate cleaning). Reviewers say their food still gets grill marks with them and that they also love using them as a baking sheet in the oven.
19. A cooking apron, so you can finally stop ruining your clothes with BBQ sauce and oil. It has a ton of pockets to stash all your bottles, flippers, tongs, and whatever else you use to create your charbroiled chow.
20. A set of corn picks that'll keep your fingers safe from your scalding snack while you season or eat it. They come in a variety of colours, so you won't grab someone else's cob in a hungry hurry.
21. A pair of silicone basting brushes that'll help you evenly apply your sauces and oils, so every bite gets the same amount of flavour. They have a hole at the end, meaning you can easy just hang it on the side of your grill with your other tools of the trade.
22. And a flavour injector, to make sure that flavour gets inside of whatever you're cooking, too. It comes with two different-sized needles, so you'll be able to get that yummy flavour in, whether it's through a ~thicc~ sauce or a brine.
23. Lastly, a set of drip pans that'll help catch all of the excess grease and keep your everything easy to clean. You can also line them with aluminum foil to steam your veggies, if you prefer them that way.
