What the AI looks for in Barbecue Tool Sets
- Core pieces
- A good set centers on a long spatula and tongs; a fork and brush are optional. Big sets pad the piece count with tools you rarely use.
- Build
- Stainless steel with riveted or full-tang handles. Welded or glued handles loosen with heat.
- Length
- At least 16 inches for charcoal grills. Short tools put your hands in the heat.
- Hanging loops
- Each tool has a loop for grill side hooks. Tools stay within reach and off the ground.
Brands that matter
- Weber: Practical tool sets made by a grill maker.
- Cuisinart: Popular cased gift sets.
- OXO: Ergonomic handles across its grilling tools.
What to avoid
- Sets with a piece count of 20 or more, padded with corn holders and skewers.
- Bamboo-handled tools in thin metal.
- Spatulas too short to reach the back of the grate.
