When I buy barbecue grill tools the first thing I notice is their length. Cooking with hot, open flames is really the difference between cooking in my kitchen and out on the grill. I want to keep my hands, fingers and arms as far away from the charcoal flames as I can.

Then I make sure that barbecue grill tools are strong. The forks and spatulas will have to pick up thick, juicy steaks, heavy sides of ribs, and manipulate chickens and ducks on rotisseries. So I look for good construction. The steel blades should go right up through the handles, so the blades don't snap off under the weight of heavy meats.

But we also grill alot of vegetables. So the grill tools have to be nible enough to handle roasting peppers and onion slices.

I also like to keep the grill tools out with the barbecue during the summer months. Just a few less things to think about. So we added storage hooks to the inside of the cabinet under the grill. Our most often used grill tools are conveniently hung there.
