Four Barbeque Accessories that Every “Q” Cook Should Have in His (or Her) “Kit Bag”!


When I was in the Army we used to refer to Kit Bags as any bag or duffel or knapsack of “stuff” we wanted to carry. Sometimes it was just a metaphor for grouping non-physical things such as personnel skills.

We think a good barbeque chef should have a Kit Bag of tools or barbeque accessories. Good tools always make a job easier. The same rule applies to cooking.

Items that we think should be in the barbeque accessories “kit bag”

  • A Charcoal Chimney Starter is the best way to start your charcoal.>
  • Chimneys are great tools to start you charcoal. They are easy to ignite and they allow you to arrange the charcoal properly.

  • Thermometers are essential for barbeque cooking.
  • We highly recommend have a thermometer for checking the internal temperature of the meat and an oven type thermometer for checking the temperature of the cooking chamber. You also need a temperature gauge for checking the cooking chamber.

  • Barbeque Cooking Gloves are handy (no pun intended!) barbeque accessories.
  • A Barbeque Apron will be needed to avoid being soiled by preparing food.
