Weber Tools and Gadgets: Smart Grilling, Reimagined
When the grilling enthusiasts at Weber first started revolutionizing the American backyard grill over 60 years ago, they started by thinking smarter. They began with the idea of covered cooking, creating a charcoal kettle grill for a smokier taste and juicier bites than the original open-top barbecue. The resulting device led everyone in the nation to flavor salvation via smoky burgers and seared steaks.
Since then, these grillmaster innovators have striven to take their passion for grilling across every hurdle that arises. And with the changing tech of grilling, it can be hard to know exactly how to achieve that perfect bite. If you learned to make steaks on your father’s old charcoal BBQ, how can you anticipate how long to cook a T-bone on your new wood pellet smoker? Thankfully, Weber grilling tools like the iGrill 3 help take the guesswork out of making meals for every weeknight dinner or backyard cookout.
iGrill: Grill Tools for the Modern Chef
So, what is the iGrill? The smart thermometer system makes barbecuing easier than ever, eliminating the need to stand in front of the grill while you wait for foods to cook. Insert the probe, close the barbecue, and get on with your day. With the connected app, you’ll have alerts for when to flip and turn your foods and a countdown timer to when your foods will be finished. The best invention since, well, the Weber charcoal barbecue.
Use this smart thermometer with all kinds of foods, from single steaks to large roasts. And with the iGrill 3, you can keep track of how much liquid propane is in your tank as well. That way, you’ll never be surprised by an empty tank before the backyard barbecue. (Pro tip: no matter what, always keep an extra full tank nearby.)
Weber Grill Tools: Fuel-Related Gadgets
While the iGrill 3 does keep an eye on propane levels, it’s not the only grill tools set that makes life easier for the modern barbecuer. Those that love cooking over classic charcoal might know it can be difficult to light, especially in inclement weather.
Weber grill tools like the chimney starter and fuel holders make charcoal ignition simpler by taking fuel out of the bottom of the barbecue entirely. Inside this cylindrical starter, better exposure to oxygen and close proximity make these briquettes more likely to light. That gets you one step closer to charred burgers for dinner. Just make sure to wear your barbecue gloves, as these can get pretty hot.
