Steven Raichlen’s Chili Pepper Roasting Rack
If you enjoy stuffed jalapeños, you will enjoy making your own with the heavy gauge stainless steel rack and pepper corer.
The Hinged Grill Grate
Ever been in a situation where you need to add more charcoal to your kettle, but you don’t want to set a hot grate of goodies in the grass? Ever had the urge to add some wood chips to the coals, but you’re too afraid your steak will take a spill? Of course you have!
Leather is Better! (Sorry PETA)
Leather is naturally a good insulator, and therefore a bad conductor of heat. Pair that with good durability and it is easy to justify the extra price you pay for a good set leather grilling mitts.
Grillin’ Tongs
Along with the charcoal chimney starter, the tongs are a quintessential tool for your grilling tackle box. In fact, the tongs and chimney are probably the only tools you’ll use on a regular basis. I know, for me, these take control of my grillin’ responsibilities 90% of the time and practically reduce most other tools to mere gimmicks.
The Almighty Charcoal Chimney
If I had to pick one grillin’ tool to stand above all others, the charcoal chimney would reign king, yet I’m still surprised by how many people are a stranger to this simple invention. Perhaps it’s the popularity and ease of gas grills that’s started to detach modern grillers from the tricks of cooking over coal. Well, not this guy. I’ll take coal over propane any day. The flavor is arguable. The fun is not.
