Five smokin’ gift ideas for your next BBQ

Read on to learn more about each, and happy gifting!

Between holiday gifts, wedding gifts, birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, and so many other gifting occasions, it seems there’s always a need for thoughtful, useful presents for the loved ones in your life. Might we suggest the gift of BBQ? Presenting curious cooks, aspiring grillmasters, and amateur pitmasters with gifts that will level up their BBQ game is always a slam dunk, as these gifts are both practical and fun!

The team behind Smoke Signals BBQ, a Lake Placid institution that’s been around since 2013, has pulled together their five favorite gift ideas for the BBQ lover in your life. Read on to learn more about each, and happy gifting!

1. OFYR gloves
Weston Table’s incredibly sleek and stylish leather gloves aren’t just for looks—they’re functional, too! These heavy-duty, heat-resistant suede gloves can withstand heat up to 660 degrees Fahrenheit. That means the chef in your life can safely handle ultra-hot grilling tools to get the perfect sear. They’ll also protect hands and forearms from flames, sparks, flare-ups, and other unexpectedly hot surfaces.

Additionally, leather gloves like the OFYR pair hold up well over time, making them a thoughtful investment for grilling devotees. Smoke Signals pitmasters also insist leather gloves are the most comfortable style of heat-resistant gloves on the market. 

2. KOSIN Barbecue grill lights
These magnetic, powerful lights use super bright nine PCS LED bulbs to brighten up any grilling station, making cooking in the dark immensely easier. Both lights in the pack feature a 360-degree flexible gooseneck so you can aim your wide beam of light exactly where you need it. They’re also weather-resistant and made from durable, heat-resistant aluminum alloy. Your giftee can expect to get years of life out of this handy product. 

KOSIN lights are also incredibly easy to use and avoid making a mess in the process. Turn them on and off with a simple touch sensor switch, and enjoy 20 continuous hours of light. 

3. Jaccard Pigtail Food Flipper
Pigtail Food Flippers are the barbecue tools no one knows they need, but once they have them, they can’t live without them! This set from Jaccard includes two different sizes of flippers—one for large cuts of meat and the other for smaller, more delicate items.

These flippers are built with long-lasting durability and performance in mind. Razor-sharp hooks do not leave marks on the meat or allow juices to seep out, so you can still get the best sear possible. The shaft is made of surgical-grade stainless steel, the handles are made of comfortable wood, and each flipper includes a leather strap for security when reaching all the way across the grill.

Plus, grillers aren’t limited to just flipping meat. These tools can also be used to carry and turn food items on grills, campfires, smokers, or in ovens or broilers. This sleek and easy-to-store tool is truly the gift that keeps on giving!

4. Spicewalla Ten-pack ultimate BBQ collection
Spicewalla’s spices are exceptionally fresh, fragrant, and pure, and they can take basic barbecue to the next level. The brand sources its spices through quality suppliers in small quantities, which ensures maximum freshness. Spices are also roasted, ground, and packed to order.

This carefully curated collection includes every spice the grilling fan in your life needs, from blackening rub to Piri Piri and Spicewalla’s signature Texas Pepper BBQ Rub. These flavor-packed blends make achieving great barbecue so much easier!

5. ThermoPro TP20 Wireless Meat Thermometer
As fun as it is to spend an entire day outside around the smoker, that’s not always possible. ThermoPro’s Wireless Meat Thermometer makes it easy to keep tabs on your meat’s progression from afar without under or over-cooking.

This product is the Smoke Signals team’s at-home favorite for several reasons. First, it boasts a dual probe to keep track of multiple food items at once. It has an extended range of up to 500 feet so you can take it with you nearly anywhere in the house or yard. The thermometer beeps and flashes when your food reaches its goal temperature, so you can get the cook right every single time. Plus, the food-grade stainless steel probes are extremely accurate, durable, and can withstand temperatures up to 716 degrees Fahrenheit. 

What if the Griller in my life already has the tools they need
According to the Smoke Signals team, a great way to gift for someone who already has it all is to upgrade a tool they use frequently. If they already have food flippers, surprise them with a nicer pair. You might also expand upon barbecue tools that are in the giftee’s constant rotation. If they love their leather gloves, get them a matching high-end apron. Get creative with your gifting, and remember that at the end of the day, it’s the thought that counts!
