There are a lot of things you can get for that guy or gal in your life that loves to barbecue. My goal with this bbq gift guide is to narrow down your options to just a few things that I believe everyone should have.
I use all of the things on this list, and most of the items are used every time I fire up the smoker.

BBQ Lover's Holiday Gift Guide
I use my thermapen almost every time I cook. When you stop cooking to time and pay attention to temp instead your end result gets exponentially better.
There are a lot of different burger presses on the market, but I believe this one is one of the best. This press makes it easy to make patties of varying sizes quickly and efficiently, and it's built to last.
This is one of those tools that I didn't think I needed, but now that I have it, I use it all the time.
Moving large pieces of meat from the smoker can be a difficult task if you don't have the right tool for the job. Traeger's large-format spatula makes it easy to move brisket, pork shoulder, and other large pieces of meat.
The Smoke is another one of those tools that help you cook more efficiently.
The Thermoworks Smoke monitors the temperature of your smoker and the internal temperature of your meat. You can set high/low alerts, and you can be notified by the separate display that you can keep in your home, or via your phone if you purchase the wireless gateway.
Want to take a nap while that brisket is cooking, but don't want to oversleep? Hook up the smoke, set your alarm, and catch some zzzz's!
Chances are you have a knife or two in the kitchen. Are those knives sharp?
Check out my recommendation for the best knife sharpener you can get, and never worry about having sharp knives in your kitchen again.
If you want the best quality meat money can bye, but don't want to go to a steakhouse to enjoy it, check out Snake River Farms.
They specialize in high-end beef and pork products.
I've spent time with the leadership from Snake River Farms, and they are some of the best people on earth, and I'm proud to support them.

A lot of times the difference in a good bbq rub and a great bbq rub is the type of salt that you use.
I've been using Jacobsen Salt in most of my rubs for a while now, and there's a noticeable difference.
These two flavors are great, and if you're looking for a little kick check out the habanero salt. Add that to your brisket rub and prepare to be amazed.
These are kind of self-explanatory. If you're handling raw meat, it's way easier to keep everything sanitary if you use disposable gloves.
I've been using my cutting board from Bread and Fish Woodworks for almost a year now, and it still looks just as beautiful as the day I got it.
Jeff is a great guy - buying one of his cutting boards is a wonderful way to support a small business.
