Having
the right tools is crucial for any job, and barbecuing is no exception.
Those who have tried to flip a burger without a spatula know how important
the right accessories can be. Any decent grill master should have at
least a basic set of bbq tools.
Cooking utensils are the first thing most think of when
it comes to bbq tools. Tongs, spatulas, and bbq forks make turning and
transferring meat much less difficult. A basting brush allows the cook
to keep the meat moist and evenly coated with tasty sauces.
Other bbq tools may not directly handle the food but are
just as important. A grill brush scrapes off built up char, while some
char is good for flavor too much can affect the heat and cause a build-up
of lye which is not good for flavor. A propane gauge will also save
the griller time- he can monitor gas levels so that there are no surprise
shortages during the family cook out.
