At Cookers & Grills find everything for dads who love outdoor cooking, fire making, and brand new grilling tools. Think wireless thermometers, rugged leather aprons, cast-iron grill pans, smoking wood, rubs, and many more must-haves for BBQ. Whether your dad is a seasoned BBQ'er or just starting out - we have the perfect gift.
1. MEATER (wireless core thermometer)

This is a must have and essential gadget for any dad who loves to light the barbecue. The MEATER allows you to wirelessly monitor the core and ambient temperature of your barbecue on your smartphone via Bluetooth. Insert the MEATER into your meat, vegetables or fish and set the desired core temperature via the app. The app shows not only the current core temperature, but also an estimated time until your dish is ready. That way you don't have to keep walking to the barbecue to check the ambient temperature, because you get that information through the app as well.
2. Dutch Oven (cast iron BBQ pan).

Cast iron pans come in all shapes and sizes and have a beautiful, authentic look. The popularity of cooking with cast iron pans stems from their versatility: ideal for baking, roasting, frying, stewing and grilling. For example, you can also bake delicious bread or use it to prepare a tasty stew. Just keep in mind that these pans are not dishwasher safe, otherwise they may rust. So dad still has to wash up by hand after the barbecue.
3. Barbecue Booking

A good barbecue book is guaranteed to put a smile on any father's face! There are so many barbecue books available these days that choosing the right one can sometimes be a challenge. Therefore, we have made a selection of the absolute must-have barbecue books of the moment.
Smokey Goodness - These books are full of easy-to-prepare dishes with a surprising twist! Actually, all of Jord Althuizen's barbecue books are recommended, but our favorites are Smokey Goodness volumes 1, 2, 3, and the Smokey Goodness Lowlands BBQ.
The Ultimate Series - The Ultimate Series offers something for everyone, regardless of your skill level. That is precisely the strength of these books. Author Zowie Tak has gathered all of his expertise into the Ultimate Series books. In addition, Jeroen Hazebroek and Harry Havinga have incorporated their passion for cooking on an open fire into the Ultimate Open Fire and Braai book.
4. Barbecue apron

Does your dad's clothes always get dirty while barbecuing? Then a leather BBQ apron is a must-have to protect him from dirt, heat and fire. Of course, there are leather aprons available in various colors and finishes, but our favorite is the classic brown version. Made of full-grain buffalo leather, of course!
5. Pizza stone

With a pizza stone, your father can bake authentic, crispy pizza on the barbecue, adding a whole new dimension to his grilling experience. The stone ensures even heat distribution, making the pizza perfectly cooked with a delicious crispy bottom. This gift is ideal for any father who loves cooking and experimenting with different dishes on the barbecue.
6. Barbecue gloves

Real BBQ gloves are the perfect solution for dads who are constantly surprised by the intense heat of the fire. Whether it's moving a coal with tongs that are too short or quickly lifting the grill, with the right BBQ gloves you'll do it without blisters. If your dad often has patches on his fingers after barbecuing, then this is the ideal gift for him.
7. Grid Lifter (grill grid lifter)

8. BBQ Turntable

A BBQ rotisserie spit is the perfect gift for dads who take their grilling game seriously. With a rotisserie spit, your dad turns his barbecue into a real rotisserie. Think slow-cooked meat, perfectly crispy chicken and juicy rolls - all with minimal effort and maximum flavor. The spit ensures that the meat cooks evenly and stays deliciously tender, with that irresistible crispy crust. This gift is not only an upgrade for his BBQ equipment, but also an invitation to experiment with new recipes and techniques. Ideal for the dad who likes to impress during grilling season and wants to refine his barbecue skills.

9. Smokewood

Smoking wood for barbecue is a great gift because it can significantly enrich the flavor of grilled meat. Using smoking wood gives the meat a unique flavor and aroma, adding a special dimension to any barbecue experience. There are various types of smoking wood available, such as mesquite, hickory, apple and cedar, each with their own distinctive flavor profile. This allows you to perfectly match the gift to your father's taste preferences. In addition to meat, smoking wood can also be used to smoke fish, vegetables and other dishes, adding to the versatility of this gift. It is a gift that is sure to please any father who loves barbecue and would like to take his barbecue skills to the next level.
10. Chicken holder (beer can chicken)

A bear can chicken holder is a great Father's Day gift for the barbecue lover. With this handy holder, your dad can prepare a perfectly cooked and juicy chicken on the barbecue. The principle is simple: an opened beer can is placed in the holder and the chicken is slid over it. While grilling, the steam from the beer adds flavor and moisture, resulting in a deliciously tender dish. Combining creativity and flavor, this gift offers a fun way to make something special at the barbecue. Perfect for dads who like to experiment with new cooking techniques.
11. Looft Lighter (charcoal lighter).

The Looft Lighter is one of the nicest BBQ gifts for Father's Day. This innovative lighter uses hot air to light charcoal and briquettes within seconds, without the need for chemical firelighters. This makes it not only a quick and efficient way to light the barbecue, but also an eco-friendly option. With the Looft Lighter, every barbecue session begins effortlessly and without fuss, perfect for any BBQ-loving dad.
12. Barbecue rubs

13. Barbecue brush

A barbecue brush is a great BBQ gift for Father's Day because it is a practical tool for cleaning the grill. With a good barbecue brush, stubborn food residues and juices can be easily removed, extending the life of the grill. For any barbecue enthusiast, a barbecue brush is indispensable because it helps maintain a hygienic grill. This results in better tasting food, as old food residue does not re-burn.
