Barbeque Utensils Every Cook Should Have

Essential Barbeque Utensils for the New Smoker Barbeque Cook


Every cook needs items that make the act of cooking easier and more efficient. As a category, barbeque utensils are generally used in the preparation of food items. All of these barbeque utensils are used to enhance the flavor of food items. We have listed a few here that help make new cook’s job easier.

Injectors

Injectors are useful for flavoring the larger cuts of meat. Injecting marinades into pork shoulders and brisket are great flavor enhancers. We recommend having a couple of sizes (2 ounce and 4 ounce sizes). Try to avoid the plastic models because they don’t last very long. Look for the metal injectors.

Spatulas, Tongs, Containers, and Jars

These tools are useful for preparing food. You’ve got to have a strong set of these tools for working around your smoker. Flimsy ones don’t work when you want to turn or flip a butt, brisket, or rib rack. Containers and jars are required for marinating and rubs. Each of these items is underrated but very useful for the new barbeque cook.
