Ties are so 90's. And there are only so many fishing lures a guy can really use. So how about getting your dad a gift to help him master the only real domain he really has control over - his BBQ. Here are some unique BBQ-centric gifts that will help your Dad be the envy of the neighborhood.
BBQ Belt
Let's face it - sometimes holding onto bottles of Cattlemen's, tongs, spatulas and spices while creating a genius BBQ is not easy. This BBQ belt is designed for Dads who want lightning quick access to their tools. After all, timing is everything in genius BBQ. Also, it comes in patriotic American Flag print so your dad's waist can double as the focus for the National Anthem.
Cruzin' Cooler
It's hard being on your feet in front of BBQ for hours slaving over ribs, chicken and beef. A BBQ gets even harder when the grill master has to walk into the garage to refill the cooler. A GENIUS BBQ'er uses this Cruzin' Cooler™ to rest weary feet and still make it to the garage to retrieve frosty beverages. At 13 MPH - make sure you stay clear of Dad on this amazing BBQ invention.
Fish Spatulas
Every dad knows that flipping fish on a BBQ is not for the faint of heart. It takes a steady hand and a lot of luck to flip flounder without ending up with 2 pieces and "fish grille." (The scientific term for dropping pieces of fish in between the slats in the grill.) Do avoid Fish Grill - Try this Fish Spatula.
Custom Branding Irons
Your dad wants his backyard BBQ to be an experience. And although he won't admit it - he wants everyone to know that he is the genius behind his backyard masterpiece. So why not give dad a gift so he can let everybody know who cooked their perfect NY Strip steak. These custom branding irons can be made with initials or your dad's favorite college team.
Long Handled Salt and Pepper Shakers
Arm hair is flammable and tastes horrible on a rack of ribs. So give your dad some much needed protection from the BBQ with these long handled Salt and Pepper Shakers. Removable Handle Salt and Pepper Shaker set by Charcoal Companion has wooden shakers on 12" long handles. The handles are removable so that they may be placed on the table after you are finished seasoning your food on the grill.
Cedar Planks
Tell dad that ripping apart the cedar closet in the basement is probably not a good idea. Mom will not be happy and that baby blue tuxedo won’t last till the next big event. Williams Sonoma makes it easier with these handy cedar cooling planks. Cedar planks are for the hardcore barbecuing aficionado who appreciates the subtle cedar flavors that will seep through your chicken or fish.
Jalapeño Roaster
Genius dads are always looking for great new appetizers to serve before they get to the meat of their barbecuing experience. This Williams Sonoma Jalapeño roaster will let dad cook great Jalapeño Poppers.
