As a dad—and one who loves to cook—there are few things that I enjoy more than breaking out the grill for dinner. Whether I'm cooking up meaty main dishes, veggie-packed sides, or even a sweet dessert, there's just something about standing over an open flame (usually with a beer in hand), listening to music and getting food crispy, that fills me with joy.

If your dad feels the same, you may want to encourage his passion with some giftable grilling gear for Father's Day. I've gone ahead and hand-selected 14 of my favorite tools, from top-notch grills, to handy holsters, to some serious smoking wood, that any dad—whether he just fired up a grill for the first time on Memorial Day, or he's a seasoned pit master—is sure to enjoy.

"If your favorite griller is always looking for places to put stuff (plates of raw meat, plates of cooked meat, condiments, grilling tools) they may need an outdoor food prep station," Country Living Senior Food and Gardens Editor Chris Michel says. "I like this one because it's easy to set up and take down (I don't have a permanent grill area) and it's pretty sturdy, with lots of spaces to put things."

"If your guy has been trying and trying to make good barbecue on the grill, and just can't get that fall-off-the-bone quality for his ribs, or the right flavor for his pulled pork, get him a smoker," Michel says. Some meats (like pork) taste far better when cooked low and slow, and grills just aren't great at maintaining a low temperature consistently. This smoker is an inexpensive option that'll give him plenty of room to experiment with different wood chip varieties, meats, and temperatures.

Everyone has them, but grill brushes really aren't the most effective tool for cleaning. Why? Because the bristles can break and leave residue that can then end up in your food. A side of metal bits with your steak? No, thank you. This grill cleaner set is Michel's recommendation for getting an effective clean that doesn't leave anything behind.
