What do you get for the dad who has everything? Clearly more stuff to grill or bbq with!

To give you some ideas, we’ve compiled this list of carefully curated grilling gifts to delight dad on Father’s Day.

Our top grilling gift ideas for Father’s Day

1. Smoke Kitchen 12″ Meat Slicing Knife

After testing meat slicers from all the major knife brands we decided to make our own.

Our 12″ long slicer is the perfect length for slicing brisket. It’s made from a high-carbon chromium blend, which means the blade stays sharp for longer.

You can also grab our slicing + boning knife together and save 20%.

2. Meat Gift Box from Snake River Farms

For the dad who already has his dream grill setup, the best gift is something to grill!

Snake River Farms is famous for its American Wagyu beef, which comes from crossbreeding imported Wagyu cattle with American Angus. Father’s Day gift boxes start at $99.00 and include a range of different cuts.

Here are a couple of great options:

3. ThermoWorks Thermanpen ONE Meat Thermometer

The Thermapen One is the fastest, most accurate meat thermometer we’ve ever tested. An instant-read meat thermometer is an invaluable tool for both grilling and low and slow cooking.

4. Meat Processing gear from Meat!

Meat! sells a range of high-quality meat processing gear, including grinders, mixers, stuffers, and vacuum sealers.

A great option for hunting enthusiasts, although a grinder is just as useful for burger aficionados who want to get the perfect ratio of fat to lean meat.

5. Porter Road Meat Subscription Box

Everyone likes getting something exciting in the post, and, with the Porter Road meat subscription box, not only do you get something every month, but it’s always fantastic meat! 

There’s definitely something that will suit your taste buds and all Porter Road meat is pasture-raised in Kentucky and Tennessee without hormones or antibiotics.

They also have a Father’s Day selection where you can pick out some of their top-selling items.

6. John Boos Block Reversible Cutting Board

A pitmaster is only as good as their tools, and a butcher block is one of the most important.

The John Boos reversible cutting board is made of solid maple. One side has a sloped juice well, while the other is a flat cutting surface. This board is durable and well-made, and its features make every part of food preparation a little bit easier.

7. A barbecue or grilling book

You can never go wrong with a great book. Here is a collection of our favorite barbecue books:

8. Father Grill Pack from Holy Grail Steak Co

Holy Grail Steak Company specializes in sourcing the rarest steak in the world. They are the only Kobe-Niku licensed supplier of Kobe beef in the world.

The father’s day pack includes 2x  American Wagyu Strip, 2x American Wagyu Filet and 4x Tajima American Wagyu Burger Patties.

9. A Fire Pit that doubles as a grill

Nothing beats sitting around an open fire—except for grilling over it, too! The Bonfire 2.0 from Solo is our favorite smokeless fire pit, and when you add the cooking bundle, you’ll be able to grill on it, too.

10. Weber Traveler Portable Gas Grill

The Traveler is the perfect compact grill for throwing in the back of the car and taking to the park to grill dogs, burgers, and chicken.

It’s a little more expensive than some of the other portable options we’ve tested, but the built-in cart makes it so much easier to get cooking.

11. Smoke Kitchen Heat Resistant BBQ Gloves

Grilling might be the best fun you can have with your clothes on, but it isn’t without its risks. You need your hands to serve up all the amazing food you’re cooking, so keep them safe with gloves that resist heat of up to 932°F (500°C) while still being flexible enough that they won’t cramp your style.

12. Killer Hog BBQ Rub 3 Pack

A great BBQ rub turns good food into exceptional food, and you don’t get much better than Killer Hog. This three-pack includes the original BBQ Rub, the TX Brisket Rub, and an all-purpose rub that would suit everything from a roast chicken to home fries.

13. Blackstone Griddle Accessory Kit

If dad has been bitten by the griddle bug, this 30-piece accessory kit from Blackstone has everything he needs to rock.

Spatulas, scrapers, egg rings, tongs and even a griddle cookbook.

14. Grillmaster’s Club BBQ Box

You can grab Dad either a one-time gift box or a recurring subscription box from Grillmaster’s Club.

Each box comes with a mix of 5+ products, including rubs, sauces, and accessories, plus recipes and grilling tips.
