4 BBQ Must Have Items – Become Grill Master

As an Amazon Associate/Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases.

I like to consider myself a Master of all things BBQ. I may be exaggerating a bit, because anything I can find to help make cooking on the grill easier, I jump at and need to find out more about it. Even though summer is slowly coming to an end, it means tailgating season is coming and that means summer BBQ was just a warm-up for the excitement of eating food off the grill and watching football!

I was excited to be sent the following products for review and to share my affiliate links. They will help you release your inner BBQ Master!

BBQ DragonBBQ Dragon

Cooking with charcoal, many call it an art form, I call it an art form in waiting! Getting your coals to heat up takes too long for me, and lighter fluid gives your food a nasty taste, not to mention all the chemicals. The BBQ Dragon solves this life-long problem. It supercharges your BBQ – it gets your coals to burn faster and hotter, so you are ready to cook and enjoy the spoils of your work sooner.BBQ Dragon Fire

The BBQ Dragon is tough, durable and designed to go anywhere you do, take it camping, tailgating or to the beach, it is ready to help you do what you do best, BBQ and put an end to the waiting! It is battery powered and your rechargeable batteries can be charged with a micro USB port so you can recharge while on the go. Just clamp it on and get to work! $59 at www.BBQDragon.com

A-MAZE-N Tube BBQ Smoker

Get your smoked flavor anywhere . . . without a smoker. This is a pellet smoker which you can add to your smoker or pellet grill to supplement smoke, or it works great on a gas grill to add a smokey flavor.A-MAZE-N Smoker Tube

The A-MAZE-N Tube Smoker works for both regular as well as cold smoking – so you can add smokey flavor to cheese, lox, fish, peppercorns and more in addition to your favorite meats.A-MAZE-N Smoker Tube Combo

You simply add your wood pellets to the Tube Smoker, light it and leave it in the grill. Depending on the size, you are able to get 4 to 6 hours of smoke. The A-MAZE-N Smoker goes camping or stays at your home and makes a perfect companion to your BBQ routine. It is available for $19.99 – $34.99 at Amazon.

Ribalizer

Ribs are what I like to say are my specialty – on the grill or in the smoker – I make them and everyone loves em! The Ribalizer is the simplest way I have seen to make consistently excellent ribs. The process is easy to follow and they are great every time. I like to say the Ribalizer makes cooking ribs “dummy proof.”Ribalizer 3 Easy Steps

It cooks up to 6 racks of ribs and is a very easy clean-up, the metal racks are durable and dishwasher safe, the cooking pans are replaceable or if you clean them, you can reuse them. The Ribalizer comes with 4 pans and is available for only $29.99 at Ribalizer.com.Ribalizer Components

Grill Grate

This is a perfect compliment for your grill. If you have had your grill for at least a season, you know it can get pretty dirty and messy (I like to say it’s a bunch of “extra flavorings”). Normally the last thing you want to do when you cook on the grill is clean it up, you want to dig in and start eating!Grill Grate

The Grill Grate works on any grill and provides a greatly improved grilling surface. Interlocking panels create a cooking area of your liking. They come in all sorts of size options, all of them offer 4 key improvements to your existing grill.

  • Sears – The spacing of the Grill Grate makes for perfect sear marks every time.
  • Sizzles – When the juices and marinades fall off the meat, they stay underneath the meat to provide some extra sizzle, flavor and juiciness.
  • Radiates – the rails create an infrared zone for even cooking, and provides an even temperature across the entire cooking surface.
  • Protects – Flare ups will be a thing of the past, the bottom plate prevents the fires from engulfing and charring your food.Grill Grate Infrared Zone

The Grill Grate is perfect for pretty much anything you cook on the grill, veggies, fruits, fish and of course chicken and steaks. It is available starting at $39.99 at mygrillgrate.com

These 4 items will greatly improve your BBQ experience and can also help you look more like the Master BBQ artist that I claim to be!

Enjoy your tailgating experience and let me know which of these grilling companions you like best.

    I need a good grill gate like the one shown in this post. It looks amazing in helping me get my food cooked without it getting burned. I also like the BBQ dragon! I would love to give these as gifts.

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
