Primal Grilling/Business Insider
When the weather is nice, I fire up my grill at least three times a week. And if the weather holds all day, I'll be cooking up burgers and skewers into the night. There's just no comparison to food cooked on a grill, and when you have great grilling tools and accessories at your disposal, grilling is just about the easiest kind of cooking, too.
Think about it: You're outside, so there's no reason to worry about a few drips of oil here or some dropped of food there, you have a precise control over the temperature of a gas grill, so you don't need to time things perfectly as with an oven, and you're supposed to be drinking a cold beverage while grilling, which ... well, OK, that doesn't necessarily make things easier, but it does make the process more fun.
What does make grilling easier? A great spatula that doubles as a knife. A grill brush that scours away grit and bits of food in one pass. A meat thermometer that takes readings in seconds. And of course, reliable grill cleaning supplies that keep your barbecue station looking great and working well.
Today, I've put together a list of the primary grilling tools I use to cook, clean, and maintain my six-burner gas grill. Most of these tools can also be used with a charcoal grill, and I've even included a great way to get coals burning fast, no lighter fluid required.
Here are the best grilling tools you can buy:
