The Best Grill Tools Every Home Griller Needs

Great grilling requires the right tools. Here's what to have.

Good grill tools make grilling easier and more enjoyable. Here's what you need.

Long tongs (16 inch) keep you away from heat—the Weber Tongs at $15 are perfect.

A good spatula (Weber at $12) flips delicate fish without breaking.

A meat thermometer—takes all the guesswork out of doneness.

A chimney starter (Weber at $20) gets charcoal going without lighter fluid taste.

The Weber Genesis is my recommended gas grill.
