Top 5 Grilling Gifts
1) Stainless Steel Smoker Box
You don’t need an expensive smoker to get all that flavor in your grilled meats. Just fill this heavy-duty, smoker box with wood chips and place it over the flames. The chips release smoke through the holes and infuse the great taste of real smoked barbecue—no matter what kind of grill you cook on.
2) End Grain Double Cheese Board
Serve to impress. From log to glossy, end grain cheese board—it’s all harvested and assembled locally in a small Nova Scotia mill. They cut the Larch wood to expose its intricate patterns and gradients. But besides the aesthetic benefits, the flexible end grain will self-cleanse and self-heal after you cut. It even has rubber feet to prevent moisture from getting trapped. With proper care and seasoning, this heirloom cutting board will last you a lifetime.
3) Cast Iron Grill Press
A cast iron grill press lends a heavy-duty hand out on the grill or when you’re cooking on the stove. It works to squeeze out extra fat and flatten foods like burgers, bacon, and steaks for faster cooking, or you can use it to grill sandwiches panini-style.
4) Pizza Oven for Charcoal Grill
This stainless steel insert transforms your charcoal grill into a grill top pizza oven. It sits on the grill grate and is designed to maintain and circulate heat (from a combination of charcoal and hardwood) to cook a crispy pizza in about five minutes.
5) Grilling Spice Gift Set
Fire up the grill with some new flavors. This set of grilling spices was curated to help take grilled proteins and veggies in a tasty new direction. It includes three of Curio Spice Co.’s signature (and unique) spice blends along with applewood smoked sea salt from Maine and recipe cards for inspiration. It’s all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure freshness and purity.
