Ingredients

Directions

Long-handled, spring-loaded tongs to handle everything. Never use that giant fork that comes with a barbecue tools set; it just pokes holes in meat and lets precious juices escape.

Large spatula or two. These come in handy when turning large pieces of meat or handling delicate vegetables.

Hot pads or dishtowels. Mitts can be too bulky, but folded dishtowels work as well as potholders. Have an extra towel on hand for cleanup.

Metal skewers. You'll need these for grilling the onions for the Grilled Aspargus & Onions with Balsamic Vinegar & Blue Cheese, or the Grilled Southwestern Potato Salad.

Wire-bristled brush. Use to clean the grill grate (which is easiest while it's still warm).

Table or other launching and landing surface. If your grill doesn't have an adjacent shelf, you'll need a small table or some other place to stage food for the grill and stack a few clean plates and platters for food coming off the grill.

Instant-read thermometer. Take the guess-work out of when your meats are done.
