Whether you’ve been grilling out in the backyard with a cold drink for the last twenty years or you’re just getting started, there are a few things every griller should have on hand to make the process more efficient and enjoyable.
There are tools that cut cleanup time down to almost nothing (in some cases literally nothing) and others that will actually improve the taste of your food.
If you love to grill, or are simply trying to get through the next family event that you offered to host, there’s going to be something here for you to make it easier, tastier, or more efficient.
A grill, for starters
Starting it off with the shock factor: you will need a grill to go with your other grill essentials. This one is the #1 best-seller on Amazon for good reason: it's aesthetically pleasing, restaurant-grade, and under $300.

Super heat-resistant gloves
Just like chopsticks, you can get good at manipulating food with tongs, but using your hands is always going to be more natural. Plus, working over an open flame shouldn't end in horrible burns.
Ekogrips' gloves will protect your hands and forearms from flames as hot as 425 degrees Fahrenheit, which means you can cook with more dexterity safely.

Grill mats for easy clean-up
A grill mat sits on top of your grill's grates and keeps melted cheese or pieces of anything you're cooking from oozing through and making a mess. You'll still need to wipe the mat down, but that's a lot easier than scrubbing your grill after each use.
