Father’s Day BBQ Recipe and Gift Guide

If the dad in your life is the kind of person who likes to say (or hear) “I love you” through smoked or grilled deliciousness, have I got some ideas for you! From beginner grillers to Pitmaster papas, this list has you covered with this year’s best Father’s Day BBQ gifts.

Whether you planned ahead or need an idea in a pinch, the name of the game here is options, options, options. You’re sure to find something here to make him have to pretend it’s the smoke making his eyes water.


Pitmaster Gloves

The ultimate tool for BBQ Heroes, these Pitmaster Gloves combine washability, heat resistance (up to 500 degrees F), and unmatched dexterity. Transfer, shred, slice, and sauce your meats, all with a single, comfortable glove. Made with materials that meet FDA requirements and available in a wide range of sizes, Pitmaster Gloves have you covered. Order a size up just to be safe.


Wing Night: Smoked & Fried Wing Kit

Wing Kit with Wings

This Wing Night Kit comes loaded with everything you need to create the most mind-blowing, finger-licking wings you’ll ever taste. This all-in-one kit is perfect for game days, tailgating, or just satisfying that Wednesday night wing craving. First, the Sweet Rub slowly soaks into your wings as they take on all that rich, smoky goodness. Then, the Wing Batter provides a light, crispy, buttery, fried coating that’s a joy to bite into. Finally, a toss in the Sweet Heat Glaze leaves your wings dripping with sticky BBQ glory.


The Grill Squad

If your dad has been looking for a way to increase his BBQ knowledge and skills and become the ULTIMATE backyard BBQ hero, The Grill Squad is here to help! Grill Squad All-Access gets him into my exclusive, members-only Pitmaster school, as well as access to the Hey Grill Hey App. Individual classes are also available if you’d prefer to gift a specific area of focus.


Perfect Ribeye Steak

Nothing says “Happy Father’s Day” quite like a perfect steak. Grilling the perfect ribeye may seem intimidating, but with the right techniques and simple ingredients, you can create restaurant-quality steaks at home. By using a combination of indirect heat for cooking and a high-heat sear, you can grill the perfect ribeye steak. Fire up your grill and get ready to impress your dad with the most delicious ribeye steaks he has ever tasted.


Smoked Chili Mac

What better to pair that delicious steak with than my Smoked Chili Mac? This recipe takes my Easy Homemade Chili to a whole new level by topping it with Smoked Mac and Cheese. Imagine the creamy, cheesy mac staying warm and melty the whole time you eat it because it’s mixed with rich, hearty chili. No matter what kind of comfort food your guests are craving, this yummy entrée will take care of it.
