Top 5 Grilling Gifts
1) Bluetooth Grilling Thermometer

With this Bluetooth grill thermometer you can keep a watchful eye on what’s cooking (or smoking) without being chained to the grill. Two probes track ambient temperature inside the grill as well as the meat’s temperature and let you know via app or LED display when it’s time to eat.
2) Original Round Cutting Board

The wood from this self-healing, end grain cutting board is harvested and assembled in a small, Nova Scotia mill. They cut it to expose the intricate patterns and gradients of the growth rings. But besides the aesthetic benefits, the fibers are lined vertically to close and heal after you’ve cut them. That keeps knives sharper and your board cleaner. It even has rubber feet to prevent moisture from getting trapped. With proper care and seasoning, this heirloom Larch Wood board will last you a lifetime.
3) Smartignition Electric Lighter

Start a fire or light a candle in an easier way. This electric lighter creates a charging arc without a flame or any odor. Best of all? It is USB rechargeable, so it’s a reusable and longer-lasting alternative to disposable butane lighters.
4) Barbeque Cleaning Tool
