It's grillin' time...

It’s only January, it’s around 21 degrees Fahrenheit outside here in Lansing, MI and I’m thinking about one thing… grilling. Last year my Dad designed and built himself an outdoor grill island in his backyard (and from what I hear, my Mom gets a lot of credit for the engineering as well). The design includes a gas grill, tiled top, wood trim, stone facing and many other features. The most kick-ass feature of this grill has to be the view while you’re grilling… Bear Lake.

It’d be awesome to duplicate his custom grill station in my backyard someday… not this year, maybe next. This spring, summer, and fall I am going to stick with grilling on the porch. But, lucky for me there is an equalizer in this grill island v. porch grill throw down… grill tools.

There are a lot of puny, cheap grill tools out there and we don’t want you to buy something you’ll regret. For example, the average grill tool set you might see at your local grocery store is most often not acceptable. For your grilling pleasure you need the serious grill tools. The tools made out of tougher metal that will last through more abuse and torture then the cheap-o grocery store kind. The toughest we’ve tested so far is the 12 piece Deluxe BBQ Tool Set by Ledmark Industries.

The right tool for the job...

The right tool for the job...

This set includes a multi-function spatula, a marinating brush, tongs, a two pronged fork, a BBQ knife, four skewers and a two piece steak set. The tongs are great for large pieces of meat because of their large grip.  The knife and fork are long enough to reach the back of the grate on a deep grill without causing a serious mishap. Plus, the set is easy to carry, easy to pack away and well protected in the included aluminum case.

This spring we plan on testing out more grill tools and letting you know the results. And for our gear-addict friends patrolling all of the B[+]R gear posts… “hey!”
