 | Weber 741001 22 1/2-Inch One-Touch Silver Kettle Grill, Black
Buy new: $89.70 / Used from: $81.99 I prefer the One-Touch Gold, but the Silver gets the job done for less
|
 | Weber 87886 Chimney Starter
Buy new: $13.09 Cheaper, easier, and better than lighter fluid. Don't get a cheaper, smaller one. The Weber starter has more capacity than most cheaper ones, and its perfect for the kettle
|
 | Weber 1681 21-Inch T-Brush
This new-style brush is easier to use
|
 | Taylor 9842 Commercial Waterproof Digital Thermometer
Buy new: $13.95 An instant-read thermometer takes the guesswork out of cooking steak and poultry safely and perfectly. I have this one and it works fine
|
 | Weber 18600 3-Piece Stainless-Steel Barbecue Tool Set
Buy new: $25.99 The tongs in this set are great. The wide end doesn't pierce food, keeping the juices in. I use it for just about everything. The flipper is good too. Barbecue forks are bad because they pierce food
|
 | Weber Barbecue Mitt, Red
Buy new: $9.99 Some kind of long mitt (or mitts) is helpful
|
 | How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques by Steven Raichlen
Buy new: $13.62 / Used from: $3.77 Good recipes, but more importantly, it covers basic grill techniques
|
 | Weber's Big Book of Grilling by Jamie Purviance
Buy new: $16.47 / Used from: $4.40 Also a good book with basic techniques. Either of these books is good
|
 | Weber 7701 Premium Kettle Cover Fits 22 1/2-Inch Charcoal Grills
Buy new: $19.99 If you keep the grill outside, get some kind of cover. The Weber is sturdy, but cheaper ones are available. Tie it down or it might blow away.
|
 | Weber 751001 22 1/2-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, Black
Buy new: $149.70 / Used from: $136.99 NICE BUT NOT NECESSARY: If you live in a windy area, as I do, the ash catcher really helps with blowing ash. Also, it comes with a cooking grate with hinged sides, making it easier to add smoke wood
|
 | Weber Slide-Aside
NICE BUT NOT NECESSARY: This is a lot easier to use than the hook on the lid
|
 | Taylor Digital Cooking Thermometer/Timer
Buy new: $14.39 NICE BUT NOT NECESSARY: A remote-probe thermometer saves cooking time for things like chicken, since it cuts down on lifting the lid. Do NOT run cord directly over coals. It will burn it out.
