Grill. Decide what type and size of grill works best for your needs.Explore different models and compare features. Don’t assume that bigger is better -- If you don’t have frequent parties, it doesn’t make much sense investing on a bulky grill.
Metal or bamboo skewers. If choosing metal, go with flat skewers, as round ones will roll and cause the food to cook unevenly. Metal skewers should also have long handles to make them easier and safer to grab. Bamboo skewers must be soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before you use them, to prevent them from burning. They work best for vegetables and other foods that grill quickly.
Long Handled Tongs or Spatula. Do not use forks to turn the food, since they pierce it and release juices, wasting flavor and causing flare ups.
Food Thermometer. Instant-read thermometers are used to check if the food is cooked inside. They are available as digital or dial face, both in disposable form or as complicated electronic ones.
Insulated Mittens. Generally longer than regular oven mittens, they’re made to protect the lower arm. Silicone gloves are a rather expensive but ideal choice.
Wire grill brush. To remove any leftover food from the grate.
Spray Bottle. Fill with water and keep nearby to extinguish any flare ups caused in charcoal grills by drippings.
