I make finding the perfect Christmas or birthday BBQ Gifts for the Grillmaster in your life quick and simple. From creating full grill sets to stocking stuffers and last minute digital ideas, I’ve got you covered.

Smokers

If your significant other is ready to bite the bullet on a pellet smoker, then you can’t go wrong with Camp Chef. Their products and customer service are both top notch overall. I personally cook on a Camp Chef pellet smoker on a regular basis. If you want to get more in depth, then check out my Backyard BBQ Grill Guide for more on all the grills I use.

These are some of my favorite Camp Chef pellet smokers:

• Splurge: If you’re looking for a pellet grill with the latest WiFi technology, look to the Camp Chef Woodwind with Wifi. This grill easily connects to your smart phone via the Camp Chef App. You can purchase a model that fits your needs in the $900.00 to $1,500.00 range.
• Save: If Wifi isn’t a necessity for you, the Camp Chef’s SmokePro XT 24 is a cool $550. Even though it’s smaller and can’t stream movies, you’ll still be able to smoke quite the feast on this guy.

Grills

Whether you’re looking for a gas or charcoal grill, there are many options out there that won’t break the bank. Weber is my go-to for both charcoal and gas grills, and Home Depot is an awesome place to purchase all your gift grills. Here are some awesome grill options to consider this year.

• Splurge: If you’re looking for a large and in charge charcoal or gas grill, I highly recommend the Weber 22″ Performer Deluxe Charcoal Grill and the Weber Genesis Gas Grill. Both are loaded with features and can handle a lot of food.
• Save: If you want something simple and functional, the classic Weber 22″ Original Kettle Charcoal Grill is the grill for you. At under $200, you can grill delicious food and still have some cash to splurge on premium meats. If you going the gas route, check out the Nexgrill 5-Burner Propane Gas Grill.

Knives

Stumped what to give the grillmaster with everything? Knives are great BBQ gifts for under the Christmas tree. When slicing vegetables or cutting up a slow-cooked brisket, knives are one of the most important kitchen tools. Knives always make a great gift for cooks of any level.

• Splurge: This Dalstrong Magnetic Knife Block is an amazing kitchen gift for the cook who already has everything. Even those with all the latest and greatest knives need more storage space.
• Save: Looking for one solid knife to use for all your cutting needs? The Dalstrong 8″ Chef Knife is a jack of all trades. At under $100, it’s well worth the money, and you or your loved one will be slicing and dicing like an infomercial star.

Thermometers

If you’re a regular at Hey Grill Hey, you know I often recommend cooking to temperature rather than time. I cannot emphasize enough how important a reliable meat thermometer is when cooking. ThermoWorks is my favorite thermometer company. They make high quality products that provide quick and accurate readings. These thermometers make the perfect gifts for birthdays, holidays, and more, so check out my favorite options below:

• Splurge: If you’ve got some extra dough, then splurge and grab the Signals 4-Channel BBQ Alarm Thermometer). This guy has WiFi and Bluetooth technology to help you easily keep track of all your temps. If you’re looking for something just a smidge cheaper, the Thermapen ONE is the perfect thermometer for serious grillers.
• Save: For a small, yet awesome thermometer, the ThermoPop is perfect for beginning grillers. It will give you a super fast and reliable temperature readout without breaking the bank.
