What accessory could you not live without?

rebelman · 12-08-2011, 05:01 PM

I have a stick burner and gas burner but do most of my cooks on the BGE. I have the platesetter but that is all. I am asking for Q cooking accessories for Christmas but don't know where to start. Which tool, gadget, or gizmo is your favorite?

My lighter so I can start the fire

Seriously, I think I could do without most of the gadgets I have but I'd miss my gloves the most as I like reaching in to the firebox to carefully place my sticks.

I don't have one yet, but I'd like to have a Rib-O-Lator for my rotisseries.

Thermapen. Once you get over any hangups you might have about spending $100 on a thermometer you'll end up with the most essential kitchen tool around.

You already have the plate setter, which is the one "essential" EGGcessory. Maybe consider a cast iron grate for the Egg?

with an arthritic hip, and knees, remote thermometers are a god send!

Lake Dogs · 12-08-2011, 05:23 PM

I cant think of how I'd get an injection in the meat without an injector, so it's probably the one I cant do without.

So:

1 cant do without and cant replace with something else: injector
2 cant do without and cant replace with something else: really good insulated PVC coated gloves

1 would be nice to have and very darn handy, but can survive without: remote thermometer(s)
2 would be nice to have and very darn handy, but can survive without: thermapen
3 would be nice to have and very darn handy, but can survive without: naked dancin' women

Beer (but it can be replaced with Tequila)

Guru or stoker would be awesome!

parrdist · 12-08-2011, 05:27 PM

For me it the remote thermometer. If you're looking you're not cooking. lets you keep the lid on.

SirPorkaLot · 12-08-2011, 05:37 PM

+1 for the remote thermo.

stephan · 12-08-2011, 05:39 PM

I would also say a good remote thermometer. And a instant read thermo also

My most important BBQ accessory is my stereo speakers.
Really.
They are!

deepsouth · 12-08-2011, 05:53 PM

sullysQ · 12-08-2011, 05:55 PM

Add another for remote thermometer. However, sometimes its hard to draw the line between essentials and accesorries
