2. Grill Baskets and Toppers
Cooking fish, potatoes and vegetables can truly be made easy with a grill basket or topper! Not only does the right grilling basket make it extremely easy to add a succulent flaming touch to all of your favorite foods, but it heightens the flavors in ways that you just won't believe. Baskets typically look like colander bowls or trays and fit easily underneath the hood of your grill. They’re designed primarily to prevent food from falling through and sticking to the grates, which can save you from serious frustration!
3. Grill Griddles
If you're looking for convenience and want an accessory that will save you time, then a griddle is for you!
Griddles fit directly onto your grill, and are typically made of cast iron or stainless steel, meaning they are sturdy and built to last! They also have a number of key benefits:
- save you from needing multiple pans
- allow you to cook everything on one surface
- makes your grill more versatile - able to cook more dishes
Whether you're cooking your breakfast favorites like pancakes and bacon, or craving juicy fajitas, the griddle is a must-have! Ready to order yours? Many brands sell griddles exclusively for their grills!
4. Grill Smoker Boxes
If you're craving a smokey flavor, and love traditional barbecue food, look no further than a smoker box for your grill! Smoker boxes come in many shapes and forms, but typically they all have holes cut out on the top or sides of the box. To use a smoker box you simply place wood chips in it of your choice, and as the smoke is released through its holes it infuses into whatever food is on the grill. Watch as your favorite foods are transformed into a smokey barbecue spread!

5. Thermometers For Your Grill
If you find yourself constantly undercooking or overcooking your meats, a thermometer is an essential tool for getting your meats cooked just right. Opt for either a digital, probe or laser thermometer and sit back, relax and enjoy cooking.
- Probe thermometers are inserted directly into your food and instantly check the internal temperature of your food
- Digital thermometers allow you to monitor your temperatures from afar, allowing you to focus on entertaining your guests without being stuck at the grill (both wireless & smartphone options provide recision, accuracy and convenience)
- Laser or infrared thermometers quickly and accurately display cooking surface temperature, ideal if you're looking to get the perfect sear on your meat! While it does not measure the internal temperature of meat, they are safer to use, can help monitor the cooking process, and help you avoid contamination

Adding a grill light to your grill helps make nighttime grilling a breeze. If you're hosting parties at night and want to have your hands free for a beverage or grilling tools, a mounted light on your grill makes it easy to see the cook on your food without having your hands full.
9. Outdoor Grill Covers
If your grill is exposed to the elements, it can take a lot of abuse from season to season, and will most likely need more regular maintenance and upkeep. However, a grill cover can save you from some ongoing expense and damage your grill may face from any extreme weather.
If you're planning on buying a grill cover, you can shop universal options, but we suggest you order the grill cover designed specifically for your brand and model for best fit and protection.
