In this article, I’ll take you through my favorite pellet grill accessories that will make grilling and smoking food easier. All these items are perfect for personal use and also make great gifts for the seasoned or novice pellet griller.
Accessories for Pellet Grill
Wood Grill Scraper
This is the perfect tool to replace metal grill cleaners. Using a wood scraper ensures no metal bristles to stick to your food or damage to your grill grates.
A wood scraper will eventually make its own custom fit to your grill with use and will help keep grates clean and debris free.
Wire Rack
This is a rack just like you use when cooling cookies or other baked goods A wire rack can be placed on the grates to grill foods that would normally fall through your grates.
Things like jalapeno poppers or vegetables come to mind. It’s also great to use as a “tray” to carry your food back and forth from kitchen to grill and vice versa.
Grill Cover
Protect your investment! A grill cover is essential in keeping the parts of your pellet grill clean and dry. You want to protect your pellet grill from weather elements and UV rays to keep it in tip-top shape.
Finding the cover your grill manufacturer recommends is sure to ensure a perfect fit and size for your model.
Spice Rack
Organize all your seasonings and spices in a handy rack for storage and easy access on the grill table. Fill it with your favorite rubs and spices to ensure you have a nice variety of spice for all of the food and meats you will be grilling and smoking.
Magnetic Cutting Board
A cutting board with a magnet can stick right to your grill table or stand to prevent slipping or sliding while you do your grill prep. The top is also magnetic so your knives and other metal utensils will stick fast without fear of falling off.
Smoke Tube
A smoke tube is perfect for smoking food inside your pellet grill. Fill the tube with your choice of pellets, light the end with a butane torch and it will add extra smoke flavor to your foods.
The butane torch makes the lighting of the fire inside the smoke tube simple. Other lighting methods just don’t do the job.
Knife
A sharp and solid chef knife is an important grilling tool. You will want to make sure your blade is sharp and ready to slice your favorite meat or vegetables, before or after they hit the grill.
Tongs
Silicone tipped tongs are some of the best choices. The right tongs are important because they allow you to turn food like steak or burgers without having to use a fork or fingers which can often make the meat fall apart.
Meat Thermometer
A meat thermometer that is wireless with an app is the best way to track the internal temperature, target temperature and ambient temperature to meet all of your grilling needs.
Since the thermometer uses a bluetooth wi-fi connection, you can move up to several yards away from your grill and still monitor the cooking process on the app.
Gloves
Both disposable gloves and heat-resistant oven gloves are definitely essential tools for grilling. The disposable gloves keep your hands clean and mess-free. They prevent the spreading of raw meat juices and can also be used to carry wet foods back and forth to the grill area.
Be sure to change your gloves often and never use the same gloves on raw food as you do on cooked food.
Heat-resistant or oven gloves are an absolute necessity for someone using a pellet grill. They protect your hands from the heat of the grill and also protect against burns should you accidentally touch the metal lid or handle.
Spatula
Your best bet is a large stainless steel BBQ grill spatula with a long handle. You don’t just want any old hamburger flipper, you want something that is extremely durable and will never bend or break when used while cooking on your pellet grill.
Apron
Aprons aren’t just for the kitchen! A heavy duty grill apron will ensure you protect your clothing from heat, spills and grease splatters.
If you’re in the market for a new pellet grill or looking for essential accessories to go with your pellet grill, then l hope this list was helpful for you!
