Get Your Grill On

Ok, so maybe ‘must have’ is pushing it a little, but I’d really like to have these gadgets. What barbecue enthusiast wouldn’t? If you are one or happen to know one, this is your reminder that it’s never too early to start Christmas shopping and the internet makes it even easier to do so. Each of these goodies comes from the fine folks at Hammacher Shlemmer, (makers of all things fun).

Stadium Hot Dog Griller

Sure, you could just roll your own hotdogs, but this little gizmo will do it for you. You’d have to be a diligent hotdog turner to achieve the kind of dog you can get at your favourite stadium, OR you could turn on your Stadium Hot Dog Griller and let it go to work. It’s battery operated and suitable for most gas or charcoal grill surfaces. I feel like it would also be pretty popular in any tailgating situation.

Monogrammed Barbecue Branding Iron

Don’t even try to tell me your friends wouldn’t think you were the coolest person on the block if you had personalized steaks. You can order up to three letters for your iron which has a stainless steel rust proof shaft and a wooden handle that doesn’t get hot. And you needn’t be limited to branding only your steaks, just think of the possibilities! Why not brand your baked potatoes, pork chops or even a whole fish? It’s going on my Christmas wishlist.

The Patio Fireplace/Grill/Smoker

Yes, that’s right, it’s a fireplace AND grill AND smoker. It’s 3 great things in 1, what more could you ask for? It has 1370 square inches of cooking space, the grills are removable so that you can hang a larger cut of meat and an exterior temperature gauge and adjustable vents allow you to control the temperature without having to open the doors and lose any heat. I’m drooling just thinking of all the possibilities. I’d better go clear some space on the back patio so that I’ll be ready when this arrives.
