Backyard BBQ Essentials

It’s grilling season! Impress your nearest and dearest by purchasing these top tools that are functional and fun.

Drip EZ Prep Tub
If you like grilling, this tub—that also collapses for easy storage and doubles as a cutting board—is a must. Marinate any type of protein or veggie mess-free and store it without spillage. Need a place to chill some beer or soda? Yep, it does that too! $39.99 at BBQGuys, bbqguys.com

I found these a while back, and here’s the bottom line: If I’m wanting to cook veggies or other small items on the grill without food falling through the grates, nothing else comes close. Add oil and seasoning, put your goods into the baskets, roll them around the grill, and you’ll be serving evenly cooked veggies like a pro in no time. $15.95 at Walmart, walmart.com

After a long day of wrangling cattle (grocery shopping!), you want to get home, get the grill going, and start cooking like you mean it. I can’t think of a better way to let the cowboys and cowgirls pulling up to your chuckwagon know who made the steak! Choose from single, double, or triple initials, and let the searing (and branding!) begin. $69.95 at Williams Sonoma, williams-sonoma.com
