- Rufus Teague BBQ Sauce Gift Set. This is my personal favorite store bought BBQ sauce, he’ll love the bold flavors.
- Barbecue Grill Light. Don’t have great lighting where you grill? No problem. These gooseneck lights take a battery, so no need to hardwire them in.
- Cast Iron Basting Set with Brushes. Cook up some sauce on the grill with this cast iron basting bowl, it comes with brushes too.
- Grill n’ Serve Baskets. This is on my personal wishlist, I love how you can seperate the foods and pop it in and out.
- The Grate Grill Scrapper. This has great reviews and doubles as a bottle opener.
- Prep and Serve Trays. I like how these are color coded so you don’t swap the prep and the serve (it happens). An organized grill, is a happy grill.
