Microplane... cool idea!

Gloves are a good idea. I don't always do what I should.☹

Awesome, I love the fusion of shop tools and cooking!

Looks like a neat gadget. Have you tried grating your garlic on a microplane zester? Works like a charm.

My wife got me pair of these Steven Raichlen gloves this past Christmas from Amazon. These things are definitely a must have for working around a grill or smoker! The picture is from Amazon, but it gives you an idea of how far up the arms they go.

This might be useful. "Hands-free straining operation" - LOL!

Thanks for the great responses! Truly a lifesaver when it comes to this recipe and other things that require straining massive amounts of goodies.

Try this... got mine from Amazon. This is an item where the price keeps going up over the years. Best Gadget for Garlic

You need this... better than a garlic press ( and alot easier to clean ). Will handle up to 8 cloves. Made in the USA.
It's called a Garlic Twist, and you can easily find it on Amazon. Price has steadily risen over the last few years. Virtually indestructible ( unless you put in on a turkey and put the turkey in the oven - won't explode, tho ). Have had mine for 2 years.

Pampered Chef has a similar tool. I have really considered this tool compared to all of the other neato cool and expensive stuff you can spend $$$ on ...

use those to put under my weber charcoal chimney to get coals started instead of newspaper (with all the ash). I usually get 5-10 starts per can depending on how quickly i remember to go back outside and move it once the fire has started! Learned from Harry Soo's class

Grill Grates are very handy too.

My handy dandy meat hook is a nice accessory...😎

[Breadhead]

Agreed!

I have a large BGE and consider the DigiQ Dx2 the absolute most valuable accessory I've ever bought.

It makes my large BGE a set it and forget it cooker.

[Breadhead]

Ordered...😉. That looks handy.

I was ordering other things at Amazon and decided after seeing your post I would add it to the order.😄
