Gift Guide for the Grill Master

November 27, 2019

What is it with men and their meat?! My husband has always loved to grill but it seems like it has evolved in to more of a hobby or should I say art. He loves to create a tasty blend of seasoning or sauce to go with the perfectly cooked medium rare piece of meat. The question used to be what type of meat do you want for diner and now it’s the type AND how it will be prepared. We have 3 grills, Yep…3 and he actually wants another. Our backyard looks like the summer grill display that they set up at our local Lowe’s.😂 We have the old faithful Webber Charcoal, our KitchenAid gas grill, that we actually have a gas line run to (so nice not to deal with propane tanks) and our Traeger Smoker. SO, when it came time to create the Gift Guide for the Grill Master who better to ask than my hubby! Here are a few of his recommendations for the Grill Master in my family.
