Hey-o! It’s time for our next gift guide!
When I was planning content last year, I put together several very specific guides to help you purchase gifts for your people. Today’s is no different.
Whether you’re shopping for a birthday present, a holiday gift or a just because, we’ve got you covered.
And this week, we’re talking about grilling gifts for the amateur grillmaster (or barbecue pitmaster) in your life.
We’ve searched the internet high and for the most unique and fun BBQ gift ideas. Then we put together this guide to highlight the best gifts for your loved one.
Who is this gift guide for?
We all know someone who’s into grilling and smoking all the things. Chances are, you know someone, which is how you ended up on this page. 😉
This ultimate grilling gifts guide was written with these people in mind.
Please note that this was not written for a professional or competitive barbecue pitmaster or someone who grills professionally, but for someone who enjoys it as a hobby.
The Best Grilling Gifts
Whether your friend is a dedicated griller or barbecuer or wants to dip their foot into the process, we’e got something for them in this gift guide for grillers.
You can provide tools to help them grill and barbecue to their hearts’ content. There are other items (like cookbooks, aprons, etc.) that will help them choose recipes and keep themselves both safe and stylish while firing up the grill.
So we’re including specialty items and products like a grilling planks, smoking chips, a BBQ rub set and more. (So you won’t find items like an actual grill or BBQ sauce, for example.)
We’re also listing accessories, clothing and more, that your griller might enjoy. These gifts were selected for their durability, as well as how their helpfulness factor.
No matter what you’re looking for, there are gift ideas here for every kind of barbecuer!

Each different sample creates a unique food pairing. Try using one on the stove and then on the charcoal grill. Even with the same meat, it’ll taste different both times! While grill planks typically can’t be used more than once, if you keep these in good condition, each one could probably be used twice.
Offered in both men’s and women’s sizes, you can purchase it for any grill master in your life! Reviewers say the design is crisp and high quality, but to watch out for shrinking. If I were purchasing this T-shirt for myself, I’d avoid throwing it in the dryer or would size up. It’s a lightweight, classic fit.
In this book, Aaron Franklin reveals his secrets to great barbecue. It’s more than a recipe book—Franklin helps the ambitious pitmaster design their own smoker, learn how to cure wood (and how to discern which woods to cure and pair with certain dishes), and how to create the perfect fire. This is sure to be an oft-referred to book in a grill and barbecue lover’s house.
A spice set is a great gift for any occasion—graduation, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, a housewarming or even a hostess gift. Anyone who loves to cook will love this gift set, but it will go over especially well with adventurous grillers.
And if you don’t think five spices is enough, upgrade to the 10-pack, which also comes packaged in a ready-to-gift boxset.
The leather will hold up forever, and the aging process on leather is much more glamorous than fabric. Each apron is hand-stitched, and the suede leather paired with gunmetal rivets gives it a cool vintage professional look.
The three pockets are great for holding tools without getting in the way. Each strap is easily adjustable, as well, so this gift is going to be a staple in your loved one’s grilling routine for years to come.
