Goofy Tools

[Meathead]

I’m doing an Interview with Christopher Kimball of Milk Street soon and we’ll be talking about accessories among other things. He’ll ask me about some of the goofy ones, silly ideas. Got any? Here are the ones I have so far:

Grillbot – the Roomba for cleaning grates https://www.amazon.com/Grillbot-Auto...n%2C105&sr=1-3

Charcoal chimney with a blower https://www.amazon.com/Charcoal-Resi...n%2C95&sr=1-76

Garlic, onion, paprika charcoal https://www.amazon.com/Kingsford-326...en%2C85&sr=1-5

A basket for making s'mores. https://www.amazon.com/Smore-Love-ST...dp/B005EVJWC2/

Firewire skewers make it nearly impossible to get your meat or vegetables done on all sides at the same time since they are always turning on the wire https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Wire-Sta...n%2C142&sr=1-9

How about The Grill Sargent Grill Apron…..



I can just picture myself walking around loaded down with all that crap….uh, anyone heard of shelves or tables? Oh wait, it holds 6 beers too! Honey, can you bring me some beers out of the fridge? …yeah, 6 please.

You can lighten the load with Coor's Light. It has to weigh less, right?
That is why it is called light.

[Alan Brice]

PJ's girlfriend would go "POP" w/all those sharp edges exposed!

[bbqLuv]

Alan Brice Be nice to PJ we don't want to deflate friend, foe, or ego

[Bkhuna]

The Rib-O-Lator. To my great shame, I bought on of these.https://ribolator.com/

[Purc]

I am disappointed you all don't like it.I always thought I wanted a ribolator because they looked so cool and I already have a roti for the Weber.

[Bkhuna]

Purc The truth is, they were difficult to install, a pain to clean, and the tray's were way too narrow for anything other than chicken wings. If you want a doo-dad for making wings, the vortex is the way to go.

[Alan Brice]

I absolutely love mine! Everything must be within the confines of each tray.
I will admit they are a PIA to clean, soo into the dishwasher they go. Works great!
BabyBacks only, SLC are not allowed.

Grill fork with "thermometer": https://www.amazon.com/Grille-Perfec.../dp/B00NODVL8K

[Draznnl]

I got one as a gift too. Damn thing kept beeping in the drawer I threw it in.

[HawkerXP]

+4 trash

[McFlyfi]

Add me to the ones that got it as a gift. The thought is there, but as noted, POS.

[ecowper]

These weenie roasters might go on that list

[FireMan]

Limp bisket!

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

but they work, and they're funny... like the chicken motorcycles...

[Carolyn]

Were these things sold at 'Spencer's Gifts?' 😏

[Panhead John]

Don’t forget the Reel Roaster! Now it’s easy to make your favorite hot dogs without all that pesky flipping them over. Just stand there like a fool and turn the reel like a fishing rod….🙄

[Huskee]

I like how the shaft is about 3 inches long. Burnt hands if the fire's hot enough to even cook a dog. Make it 2'+ and we can talk.

[gboss]

made out of nice melty plastic too.
I have never had any difficulty cranking my own weiner manually, however.
Huskee thank you for your thoughts on ideal weiner-shaft-length. I'm thinking there might be some "goldilocks" zone somewhere between 3" and 2' that most people are comfortable with.

[Huskee]

gboss I see we're rife with innuendo here, lol. I bought a pack of the extendo hot dog roasters for my kids and those buggers are handy. They extend out to about 2' (think old radio antenna) and I wouldn't want them shorter. They don't last long, the first time a kid sets it down still extended and it falls over and gets stepped on, it's toast and won't close up ever again, but you get what you pay for and they're inexpensive.

[ecowper]

And who doesn't want a "Ham Dogger"

[Alan Brice]

Come on! Nobody smiled twice at the bun driller?!?! Let's Get this Party Started!

[Panhead John]

Huskee But you don’t have to buy 2 kinds of buns!…….It actually says that on the website…😂

[Panhead John]

Alan Brice …..insert prison joke here

[randy.56]

[randy.56]

MCS kicking in. Save me, please.

Goofy Tools

Now Meathead, I know he has his moments but it's not nice to refer to Panhead John like that! He's actually a nice enough guy, and only a little bit of a tool.

[FireMan]

hoovarmin just had some kind of oil retriever that falls into this category.

[Huskee]

Powered "circular saw" pizza cutter:

https://www.amazon.com/Fred-PIZZA-Circular-Pizza-Wheel/dp/B001XSFW42

[Huskee]

Murdy You're right, this one is just shaped like a saw...I meant to post one that's actually powered (seen it somewhere) but this is the wrong one.

[Murdy]

Huskee -- I was actually joking, I thought it was powered.

[Troutman]

Oh I want one !!

[Polarbear777]

Charcoal chimney with a blower?
the bbq dragon blower and XL chimney of insanity is great for getting a lot of coal ripping hot fast, a lot of the time I grill or wok on top of the chimney. Waaay hotter than a standard chimney. Wok glows red if you aren’t paying attention (and you need to pay attention).

[Angryfish]

I am a bit of a preper so I keep my emergency BBQ kit at the ready.

[ecowper]

Florida Man is that you?

[Huskee]

I see you're still missing the 10mm ham roll

[Angryfish]

I can never keep track of it
