10 Best Gifts for BBQ Smoke Pit Masters

Duh? You must have wood chips if you're going to create smoke! These tipsy wood chips add a mouth-watering combination of Jack Daniels Old No. 7 Brand whiskey and oak wood smoke to meats and can be even be used with gas grills, as well as charcoal or electric smokers.

Lots of pitmasters like to create their own rubs, but if your pitmaster is just getting started, these award-winning rubs by Rufus Teague make a good stocking stuffer— plus, they are delicious, too!

Every pitmaster should have a set of claws for pulling and shredding pork butts. The curved design on these claws also make them perfect for lifting a slab of meat off the smoker, too.

This is a gift for the SERIOUS pitmaster. Complete with its own travel case, this injector syringe comes with three needles and cleaning brushes. This would definitely be useful for "shooting up" a turkey for smoking.

A long set of locking tongs comes in handy for lifting and turning slabs of ribs. This set by OXO has non-slip rubber grips which I love and the lock which is extremely useful for storage.

One of my favorite kitchen tools, this OXO instant read thermometer is extremely helpful for testing whether meat has cooked to the proper temperature. The Thermocouple Thermometer provides temperature readings in just 2-3 seconds with an accuracy of ±0.9°F, so you can ensure perfection in every piece of meat.

My hubby loves using his basting mop to ensure his ribs stay moist and tender. This mop has extra replacement heads so you don't need to worry about cleaning.

What I love about these BBQ gloves is that they are rubber and easy to clean! Plus, they are heat resistant and extra long to protect those arm hairs, too!

Highly recommended for beginning pitmasters, this Masterbuilt Digital Electric Smoker is the one my husband owns. He's been very pleased with how it operates and I must say, we've eaten a lot of good ribs coming out of this smoker!
