One of the biggest grilling weekends of the summer is coming up and it’s time for some grilling essentials. I enlisted the help of my husband, the resident pit-master at Honey and Birch Headquarters, for some recommendations.

My favorite is the original. We’ve been adding it to our burgers for the past few weeks and it adds great flavor. We are also big fans of the teriyaki marinade.

5 – Where There’s Smoke: Simple, Sustainable, Delicious Grilling
You can never have enough cookbooks in my opinion – check out this grilling cookbook for “the nitty-gritty on fueling your fire; preparation and cooking; recipes for sauces, spice mixes, and marinades; and ways to eat smartly and healthily.”
While you’re at it, get some beer infused bbq sauces. I’m particularly intrigued by the Ancho Peach flavor – that would be great with some chicken wings!
Grill like a pro with a grilling utensil set. There are many options available; make sure your kit has a barbecue fork, tongs, slotted spatula, basting brush and grill brush.
8 – Beverage TubThis cool beverage tub would look really nice next to your grill! Fill it with your favorite drinks to keep them handy.
You know what would look really cool underneath your apron? A BBQ themed T-shirt!
