It has to come with some type of holster. I could see myself with an overshirt, undercover at someone's house party. "What the heck", they say while BBQ'ing "I can't find the sauce brush and spatula."

I quickly go to my belt, whip this tool out and save the day. I fight off the audience. "Please back away" I say. "I'm not the chef, but I do accept tips"

Rubs:
Usually make my own riff’s on Memphis Dust and BBBR. Also use Meathead’s commercial rubs and occasionally try something new. I like a couple from Tuffy Stone and Kinder’s. After several surgeries, I’m very sensitive to “spicy” stuff, so I need to be careful about heat levels.

The Swiss Army Knife of BBQ tools. I hope someone in the family doesn't see it and think of me for an Xmas gift.

I've told everyone I want Henrik 's rubs for stocking stuffers. I go through them pretty quickly.

Haha I like that it has a wine and bottle opener. You just need one of these in your kitchen drawer to open wine bottles!
