These tools come in handy when grilling;
grill/wire brush: An essential tool to have when cleaning your grill. Having clean grates helps prevent food from sticking.

tongs: These are useful for turning foods on the grill— especially the long- handled variety to protect your arms from the heat. Having several pairs on hand is helpful for handling raw and cooked foods separately.

basting brush: Any basting or food- safe brush will do, but it’s best to choose a brush with natural bristles since they hold up to the heat better.

spatula: A long- handled metal spatula is key for turning foods like grilled vegetables, burgers, and whole fish.

skewers: Making kebabs is fun, and kids love to participate. Wooden skewers are inexpensive and easy to fi nd but must always be soaked before using (and sometimes will still burn if on the grill for a long time). Metal skewers are reusable and will last forever. Skewers can also be made of unique, fun items like rosemary stems and sugarcane swizzle sticks.

Tongs and fork

plastic spray bottle: Fill a bottle with water so you can easily put out fl are- ups on the grill, but take care not to overspray or you will end up with ashes everywhere!

old rags: Use these to oil down your grates without having to worry about ruining nice towels. Just be sure they are clean and free of any chemicals.

Meat Thermometer (preferably instant- read): Make this tool your best friend because you want to rely more on your thermometer than on any specifi ed cooking time. This will give you a more accurate gauge as to when your food is done. Make sure to purchase one that is housed in a heat- resistant casing— plastic versions simply can’t stand up to the heat!
