Made with input from professional open-fire chefs, this set of two roasting sticks is crafted from hand-forged stainless steel with a stunning antique finish. Designed to cook food over an open fire, these are nice and long—so your fingers won’t get close to the flame. The elegant dual-pronged design also makes for better stability and allows you to accommodate more marshmallows. (The most important thing.)

Made with input from professional open-fire chefs, this fish spatula is crafted with hand-forged stainless steel with a stunning antique finish. A fish spatula is an essential tool in your kitchen, designed to flip delicate foods like fish without breaking them apart. And this one’s slightly curved edge makes it that much easier to the spatula underneath foods instead of just pushing them around the pan or grill. It’s rugged enough to be used with a grill (we love that the natural walnut handle stays cool to the touch when around heat), yet its rustic design is so attractive that it can easily dual as a tableside serving utensil.

We’re the first to admit that most small grills don’t work. It’s hard to get the charcoal started, it’s hard to control the heat and it’s hard to manuever them because of so much heat in such a small area. This little charcoal grill is the exception to the rule. Not only is it easily portable, as it’s made from lightweight and durable steel, but its unique square shape allows you to distribute charcoal evenly and also have the optimum grilling surface area to squeeze in more steaks than a typical small grill. It’s made with a high-temperature finish with chrome handles, which stay cool to the touch even when the grill is in use. And the design of the firebox allows for enough airflow to start the charcoal, but the chimney-like shape protects it from wind as it lights. The grill grates are perfectly positioned, too—we were able to brown steaks quite nicely without burning them. Plus, the grill also has an integrated storage compartment for extra charcoal or grilling tools as well as a built in bamboo wood tray for serving or to use as a cutting board.

Handcrafted by artisans in Argentina, this grill in inspired by the gauchos (cowboys) of the Argentinian pampas. It burns both logs and charcoal in its brazier-style fire box and the wide grill bed allows you to move around your heat source of choice to direct heat to different areas of the grill—so you can use high heat or go low and slow. The grill is also lined with refractory bricks that aid in heat retention and guide the heat toward the extra wide 547-inch grill grate, which is adjustable to accommodate different cooking temperatures. The Delta includes a rugged stand with swivel casters and attached steel lid, a full-length vinyl cover, a drawer below the brick-lined base which can be used for accessories or as a warming drawer and an additional steel griddle that nests on top of the fire basket for an extra 188 square inches of cooking space.

Nope, you can’t use this charcoal grill indoors, but you can use it at an outside table, on a patio, or at the beach to efficiently cook four burgers or a couple of pounds of steak tips or bulgogi. The grill, made of fireproof porcelain and just under 12 inches in diameter, holds about a third of a typical Weber chimney in charcoal so the coals will stay hot for a long time. It comes with a wooden trivet base, cleans up easily and is easy to transport.

Hand-forged specially for Milk Street by a blacksmith in Georgia, these carbon-steel grilling skewers are the best version of this barbecue essential. Shaped one at a time, they’re long enough to accommodate plenty of meat and veggies, but not so long they are cumbersome to work with. The double looped handle at the end is more functional than other skewers—it’s easy to grip, and it holds food in place, plus it can be easily gripped with tongs when it’s time for the skewers to be turned. They’re thick enough to stay straight and sturdy, but they’re not so thick that they break food apart. And they’re quite attractive, too.

No more worrying about sharp metal bristles that might scratch or fall into your grill or melted nylon bristles that can melt with too much heat: Kona's grill brush features a helix-coiled scrubber made of stainless steel wire, so it's highly effective for thick gas grill grates and thin charcoal grates as well as gentle enough for any material, even ceramic kamado grills. And the contoured handle is comfortable to hold with both hands, with nonslip textured finger grips to prevent slipping.

We consider a set of tongs indispensable in the kitchen and collaborated with Kuhn Rikon on what we consider to be the perfect set. At 12 inches long, they are just the right length for both outdoor and indoor cooking (tongs designed for just BBQ are usually awkwardly long for anything but grilling). The scalloped, concave tips provide a firm yet gentle grip on most any food—they won’t tear delicate goods the way more aggressive serrations can (like most tongs on the market). We use them for everything from sautéing and grilling to baking, stirring pasta and even juicing--closed tight, the tips form a terrific citrus reamer. Consider them a heat-proof extension of your hands.

Flecked with aromatics and spices like lemongrass and turmeric, this Cambodian spice paste is often used to marinate meat and veggies or flavorful sauce for grilled foods. It has an inherent savoriness, which is great for enhancing the meatiness of whatever protein you choose (or for giving extra umami to some veggies), but the bold and tangy-sweet tamarind and citrusy lemongrass balances the earthiness of the grill wonderfully. Chili peppers provide just the right amount of heat. Inspired by the tastes of Cambodian street food, this paste comes to us just in time for grilling season.
