The best barbecue tool set is an essential investment, whether you barbeque, barbie, braai, grill, cookout, or tailgate. Specialist BBQ tools differ from normal kitchen utensils as they usually feature longer handles to keep you safe from open flames and hot coals, boast a stronger and more durable construction, and often come in tidy storage boxes or cases, so you can store them when not in use. We've rounded up a selection of the best barbecue tool sets so you can be prepared for your next outdoor cooking adventure.
Cuisinart CGS-W13 grill tool set
With handsome wooden handles
We like this set's attractive, solid wooden handles. As well as looking good and being naturally insulated, they offer a nice weighted feel and are extra-long for safety over open flames. There are leather hooks to hang the tools when in use. This set has a spatula, tongs, brush, fork, kebab skewers, and corn cob holders. It comes with a handy storage case that is made from recycled plastic.
Alpha Grillers BBQ grilling tool set
With a cheeky bottle opener cutout
These deluxe tools are a high-end, heavyweight, solid stainless steel option. The fork and spatula are each made of a single piece of brushed steel, while the tongs consist of two pieces joined with a strong, spring-loaded hinge. The tongs and the brush boast a rubberized grip, while all the tools get large hooks to hang them from your BBQ. The spatula has a useful serrated cutting edge and a handy bottle opener cutout.
