Made from genuine grain cowhide and suede with a cotton lining, The G and F Premium Grain Leather Gloves are an excellent option when seeking high heat gloves though prolonged contact with direct flame is not advised. The gloves have 14.5 inch sleeves to protect your forearms and can be washed with soap and water.

The synthetic Pitmaker High Heat Meat Handling Gloves come in one large size and are said to be safe to 450 degrees F. While intended for handling food, we have also seen them used to move charcoal and burning logs (briefly). The cotton lining on these gloves feels very comfortable and they are slip resistant.

The Maverick XR-50 is an extended-range, four-channel wireless remote food and cooker thermometer. It ships with two straight 6" probes and two straight 3" probes. It is well constructed with a robust case and heavy-duty probes, so it should stand up well. Wins a solid top rating for performance and construction.

This is a really nifty addition to the Weber Kettle and it can also work on the Weber Smokey Mountain and a variety of other devices with adapters.

I use mine for something else entirely. I have a second bottom grate that I put on top of the rails, and the coals go on top of this elevated grate. That puts them at the perfect height for searing steaks, just below the cooking grates.

Juicy chickens with crispy skin is the reason you want this. Put a drip pan underneath with some carrots, onions, potatoes, brussels sprouts, whatever, and let the drips flavor them.

Adding a hinge makes opening and closing a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker and Weber kettle grills effortless. It has a clever little latch so when you open the lid it stays open and won't slam on your head when you stick it in there to smell your meat and a pin that you can remove so you can take the lid off completely.

Create a variety of charcoal configurations thanks to the Vortex, a unique stainless steel cone shaped add-on for the grill. It is designed to work in Weber Kettle and kamado cookers and can be used four different ways to create two zones of direct and indirect heat by placing charcoal in or around it.

The Smokenator is a popular add-on that turns your Kettle into a smoker. A bit less expensive than the Slow 'N Sear, it lacks the sear function, and because it has a cover over the charcoal and a small water pan just doesn't do the job as well as the SNS.

Transform your kettle grill into a smoker with the Smoke EZ Conversion Kit. The Smoke EZ kit contains a large powder coated 20 gauge steel ring that sits between the lid of your kettle and the bottom. Inside the ring are brackets to hold two standard round Weber grates or you can hang food with the hanger rack.

An easy upgrade to make to a Weber Kettle is replacing the standard grate with a flip side grate. This is a great feature to have for long cooks which may require adding charcoal or wood during the cook. This model fits the 22 1/2 inch kettle and is made of heavy nickel-plated steel.
