Favorite Accessories

[93vpmod]

I recently purchased a BernzOmatic JT850 and two Maverick ET-732 thermometers.

The weed burner made starting the smoker child's play and the Maverick gave me a pretty clear idea what was going on under the lid.

I then began wondering what other "BBQ accessories" do you find invaluable or very high on your wish list?

Has anyone invented a temperature resistant lighted camera yet?

Thanks,

Mike

[Skidder]

Rotisserie is my favorite.

[PrinceofQ]

The Thermapen is one of my favorites. :)

Lol on the lighted camera. I just use my cellphone camera for everything. 12 megapixels + flash.



I really do need a better grill light, though.


I've been using a smallish torch to fire up my lump, however the weed burner sounds better.......faster.......and certainly more fun.

They have automotive camera snake lights that you could slip in through the vent. Not sure what level of heat they are resistant to though.

I have lots of BBQ tools, some are pretty neat, some are not meant to be for QUEING and grilling but they work. THE BEST TOOL I HAVE BAR NONE IS THIS FORUM!! There is no book, utensil, gadget, or anything else that I have more useful than this place!!

Go ahead call me a suck up, just my opinion.

I use these items on almost all of my burns whether its my smoker or my kettle:
Charcoal chimney
Weed burner
Maverick ET-732
Thermapen
Good long handled tongs
Good long handled spatula
Foil and foil pans
A good variety of cast iron pans are also useful for doing sides and non-traditional items

One of these days I'm going to do something about my lighting situation. The flashlight in the mouth solution isn't very elegant.

Get a headlamp, they work like a charm. A buddy gave me one, and at first I was skeptical, but now I love that thing.

[Kloogee]

Matt, I do have a headlamp I use for hunting and camping. Not sure why I've not pulled it out for the backyard.

[93vpmod]

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Today I ordered a white thermapen and a rotisserie. I plan on smoking a turkey later in the week and know that those items would be most helpful. I will also use the Auber sly-2362 that I have to keep the temps consistent. This will only be my second UDS burn and I didn't use it the first time out.

I have been looking at Cast iron pans and can see the benefit of the Fire bricks, Timer and Welding gloves.

It took me a while to figure out the Refractory mortar, I guess I had to "build up to it."

I'm still not specifically sure of the Ice pik...any help there Bludawg?

Ove Gloves

[columbia1]

Extra large insulated 22 oz cup, so I am not constantly running back in the house to mix another!

Ove gloves, very handy, but be VERY careful if they are wet.

[trufunk]

- fire bricks
- timer
- welding gloves

I need to get some welding gloves, what kind do you recommend?

[Offthehook]

Stoker and I really like my electric charcoal starter. A lot less ash into the air than a bunch of paper.

[Fo Sizzle My Nizzle]

Foil pans. Grabbed a big arse pack from Sams for 7 bucks and they've really knocked down my cleanup on meats and sides.

[Smokin Patriots]

All of the above listed are great!! I have most in my arsenal, I even have a headlamp, however I too never thought to use it while cooking, but I will now, except while using my Rec Tec because that has a light built in.

The one thing I have been using a lot of lately that I did not see listed was the Frog Mats! They are great!

[HankB]

Half and full sheet baking pans.
Oxo good grips locking tongs in 9", 12" and 16" lengths

Never thought of using the headlamp, and that's why the brethren is the top accessory for me!!

Ice pick is for probing for tenderness. Or you can use a skewer or the probe from your thermometer.

I like the headlamp idea. Need to pick up one of those now.

My favorite accessory are food safe black gloves. Now pulling hot stuff off the smoker is easy and painless.

[Hoss]

Best toy of ALL,and there is a plethora of them,,,Thermapen,use it inside as much as out.If all I had was protein,fire and a Thermapen,I would be good to go.All my cookers have built in temp controls,they call em vents. :wink:

[garzanium]

I had a nice expensive pair from Lowes I lost. you can pick up pipping red hot tube with them...now I wouldnt recommend a cheap pair from harbor freight. I got 3 pair for $11. they are as good as regular leather gloves, but not great for really hot stuff.Used them on my latest welding adventure for my cart, they held up at least.

my fav is my thermapen...wish it was made for lefties though:)
