<p><strong>Best BBQ gloves</strong></p>
<p>Barbecues can reach temperatures beyond 300C, so a pair of BBQ gloves are a smart investment for minimising the risk of burns. This pair from Weber reach nicely up the wrist to offer forearm heat protection. There are practical non-slip silicone lines across the palm for aiding your grip of large BBQ tools. They’re big and a little on the expensive side but durably made to last from 100% Aramid (outer) and 80% cotton/20% polyester (lining).</p>

<p><strong>Best BBQ cleaning tool </strong></p>
<p>Cleaning your grill while it’s still warm will make the process of removing stubborn grease or sticky juices a little easier to shift. A hard-wearing scraper and brush that has a long handle is one of the safest ways to go about it. The Grill Guard has both these qualities allowing you to apply pressure for scrubbing but still keep a safe distance from the grill. Width-wise, you can scrub multiple grill bars at once making the whole job faster. When tested, the barbecue looked like new after using this. Plus, there’s a convenient hook at the end of the handle for storing it out of the way when not in use.</p>

<p><strong>Best for searing meat </strong></p>
<p>Grill presses are a lot easier to use than a spatula for pressing meat like burgers and steaks while they cook over a barbecue. The result should be evenly seared meat that’s packed with barbecue flavour. This grill press by KitchenCraft has a good surface area and being cast iron, can be heated on the barbecue to sear the meat from above while it cooks from below.</p>

<p><strong>Best barbecue set</strong></p>
<p>Great value-for-money, this 18-piece set comes stored in a nifty aluminium case. All the tools are designed with practical long handles for keeping you away from the heat and they feel durable, so should last with care. We loved the addition of sweetcorn forks, although these should only be used when the cooked corn cobs are removed from the grill. Also included is a 42cm fork, 43cm spatula, 40cm tong, 38cm silicone basting brush, 43cm brass brush and four skewers.</p>

<p><strong>Best BBQ basting brush</strong></p>
<p>Although it lacks an accompanying pot, this basting brush is nicely designed for basting ingredients while they cook on the grill with minimal risk to you. It has a long 34.4cm handle and broad head of heat-resistant silicone bristles that carried an efficient quantity of marinade for each stroke. Its head also angles up, meaning less mess when rested flat on the counter, although we simply rested it against the bowl for more basting.</p>

<p><strong>Best BBQ tool essentials </strong></p>
<p>The Tramontina pack of three barbecue tools are impressively sturdy. Firstly, they’re long, allowing you to manage what’s cooking without having your hands too close to the hot grill. Wooden handles work particularly well here because they don’t conduct heat. A good pair of tongs are always crucial, plus the flipper has a sharp serrated edge, which comes in handy for splitting ingredients in two to check if they’re done. Nothing fancy, just three really useful tools for a good price.</p>

<p><strong>Best BBQ tongs</strong></p>
<p>These tongs are really well-designed – the rubberised handles are easy to grip and the flat silicone tips are slightly flexible so they can be used as a spatula to flip food. They’re ideal for burgers but really come into their own when having to turn fish or vegetable slices. Plus if you have smaller hands they’re still comfortable to use, unlike many big BBQ tools.</p>

<p><strong>Best BBQ chimney starter</strong></p>
<p>Chimney starters offer quick and reliable means of lighting your barbecue charcoal. The design allows air to circulate below and feed the coals oxygen to really get them going.

<p><strong>Best eco-friendly firelighter</strong></p>
<p>These firelighters are an eco alternative made from wood, wool and wax (compared to those made from fuels like paraffin). Lit beneath barbecue coals, firelighters provide that initial ball of high heat needed for coals to catch. Seeing as you’ll be cooking food above the coals, these are a fume-free option for starting the barbecue.</p>

<p><strong>Best for lighting gas barbecues</strong></p>
<p>It’s useful to have a lighter with a long neck in order to be able to reach your firelighters when they’re stacked beneath unlit BBQ coals. It’s also a far safer option than using a normal lighter where your fingers could be at risk from flames. This butane gas lighter by KitchenCraft gets the job done well.</p>

<h2>Barbecue tips</h2>
<p>Food editor and barbecue super-fan, <a href="/recipes/collection/barney-desmazery-recipes">Barney Desmazery</a>, draws upon his years of experience as a cookery expert to bring you 10 top tips for getting the most from your barbecue.</p>
<ol>
<li>If you’re using a charcoal BBQ, allow plenty of time for it to get hot. Only start cooking when the flames have died down and the coals have turned ashen.</li>
<li>Have a water-spray bottle on hand to dampen down any aggressive flames which may rise as hot fat drips onto the coals.</li>
<li>You’ll have natural hot and cooler spots on a coal BBQ. Utilise this by charring the food in the hottest areas (usually the centre) and then finishing or keeping warm in the cooler spots (usually around the edges.)</li>
<li>Use two pairs of tongs for cooking if you can – one for touching raw meat and one for cooked.</li>
<li>If you’re serving vegetarians or vegans, make sure you keep one side of the bbq for the meat and one for veggies – you can place a coil of foil down the centre of the bbq before you heat it up to mark out the two areas. Also, use two pairs of tongs.</li>
<li>If you’re worried about your meat or vegetables not being cooked all the way through or if you’re strapped for BBQ space, try charring the outside of the meat/veg for that smoky BBQ flavour and then finishing off in a moderately heated <a href="/review/best-ovens">oven</a> until cooked through.</li>
<li>Never try to clean a charcoal BBQ while it’s still hot. Wait until the next time you use it, let it get hot then scrape off the bits cooked onto the grill.</li>
<li>Arrange the charcoal to make heat zones so you can cook directly over them for a fierce heat and indirectly for things that take longer. This works well with lidded barbecues.</li>
<li>If you’re trimming hard herb plants like bay or rosemary, save the clippings to throw on the barbecue for a blast of aromatic smoke flavour.</li>
<li>Use a probe thermometer to tell if something is cooked all the way through without having to cut into it.</li>
</ol>
