Discover the perfect gift for the outdoor cooks in your life with our extensive guide!
Here are the tools and toys that avid grillers and pitmasters want most this year. Our reviewers have kicked the tires on hundreds of products, from the most expensive grills to the least expensive tongs, and we’ve whittled it down to the following items. This is the stuff our expert staff loves most.


All of the items listed are Best Value Gold Medal winners, and some have earned a Platinum Medal, our highest award given to the most outstanding products.

Remember our reviews and ratings are unbiased because we don’t sell anything (other than memberships in our Pitmaster Club), and our advertising is sold by third parties, so we are free to be brutally honest.
All of these items make fantastic gifts for the food-obsessed people in your life, and we’ve organized them into price categories from under $50 to over $2,000. You’ll find plenty of grills, smokers, and BBQ tools, as well as a few surprise items like a reliable, user-friendly knife sharpener.
