Where else would we start other than with the world’s most iconic grill?
The Weber Kettle has stood the test of time ever since its first build, and it’s not hard to see why. This little kettle is one of the best charcoal grills out there owing to its durable build, airtight chamber, and big cooking surface area.

Heavy Duty BBQ Grilling Tools Set
Accompanying every good grill has to be a solid tool set, and there aren’t many better than this.
This tool set features stainless steel grilling accessories that are as durable as they are beautiful. Included is a grill spatula, a basting brush, a grill fork, and a pair of tongs.
All the essentials, all in one place.
Cedar Grilling Planks
These planks might seem a little unglamorous, but anyone familiar with BBQ smoking will know what a good investment these can be.
Cedar wood is fantastic at imparting flavor on food, and these planks are a great place to start.
