BBQ Gifts for Dad
Dads can sometimes be hard to shop for, but if your dad loves to barbecue---and most dads do---a barbecue-themed gift is the way to go. Avoid common barbecue accessories he might already have. Think outside the box and look for unusual items that he will love and use often. He'll appreciate that you took the time to find something special.

Meat Branding Iron
-
Any dad would love to have his own meat branding iron. Whether you choose his favorite sports team logo or create a personalized monogram, he'll enjoy impressing guests with his own specialty branded meats. Branding irons come in a variety of styles, including logos, emblems, sports genres, letters and numbers, meaning there's a branding iron for every dad. Branding irons can be purchased where specialty barbecue items are sold.
Barbecue Tools
-
If your dad has old, missing or mismatched barbecue tools, upgrade him to a new set. Small sets include the essential tools every barbecuer needs, including a fork, tongs and spatula. Larger sets provide the basics along with extras like a carving knife, grill brush and skewers. Most sets come with a convenient carrying case in which to store the tools. Some sets can be personalized with Dad's initials or monogram.

Grill and Tank Cover
-
A barbecue cover protects Dad's grill from the weather and keeps it clean when it's not being used. Grill covers come in all different colors, and some styles feature his favorite sports team's logo. Purchase a matching tank cover to keep the tank clean, as well. Tank covers can be used to transport the tank when it's time to be refilled. You'll need the grill's measurements to ensure a proper fitting grill cover. Tank covers are one size fits all.
Rotisserie
-
A rotisserie constantly rotates food while cooking, resulting in evenly-cooked foods that are moist and juicy inside. Ribs, roasts and chicken are just a few of the meats that can be cooked with a rotisserie. Most rotisseries attach to the grill, so you will need to know the manufacturer and model of the grill to buy the correct size rotisserie.
Barbecue Accessories
-
If your dad has all the BBQ basics, look for some unusual accessories. You might buy him a barbecue popcorn popper, a barbecue light for cooking in the dark or a meat fork with a built-in thermometer. A grill alert thermometer lets Dad walk away from the grill to entertain guests; when the meat is done, it alerts him that it's ready. Other ideas include grilling baskets, skewer sets and grill-top woks.
