Outdoor Kitchen Essentials

{ Via: Williams Sonoma }

Inspiration for this post came from my love of cooking out and this gorgeous grill by Hestan.  With its' hefty price tag, I am sure that it does your grocery shopping, too.  We cookout often, and there are tools that I still wish I had. Each item in this edit just might be something that you didn't know you needed. And if you are looking for a Summer host gift, any one of these will get you invited back. 

Cedar Planks, Set of 4, with Plank Saver
You haven't had salmon until you cooked it on a cedar plank. The cedar flavor is imparted into the fish during the cooking process. Yummy! Looks like it is great 
for oysters, too.

Charcoal Companion Himalayan Salt Block

You have heard me talking about the health benefits of Himalayan sea salt before. Here's an entire healthy block that you can actually use on your grill.  The natural and mineral rich flavors are instantly infused into anything you cook on this pretty pink piece. It's also good for sushi (off the grill) and can be placed in the freezer. Genius!

Corn Grilling Basket Set
Grilled corn with a touch of char is one of Summer's sweetest offerings. I love the scent of smoke. This simple invention gets the job done, and keeps the 
corn from burning.

Nonstick Mesh Grilling Bags
Oh these make so much sense. They are nonstick so noting sticks to the bag or the grill. loving it for small potatoes, broccoli and so much more.

Bourbon Grill Wood
Not a very pretty picture, but the idea of this product sounds fabulous! This wood will add the unmistakable taste of of rich bourbon soaked oak to anything you grill.

Steak Button Thermometers

I grew up with my Father, a self proclaimed grill master, using these. In our family, no two people liked their steaks at the same temperature. Don't they make sense?

Oslo Partyclette for Cheese & Barbecue
Now we can have ooey gooey cheese on anything we grill. Actually it looks like this is Mac & Cheese. which is the perfect dinner companion to barbecue.

Emil Henri Chicken Roaster
Yes, beer can chicken is a "thing," but it's not very classy, is it? And that can of beer won't let you collect the juices from the chicken, or add veggies to the vessel. Now on sale, this clay roaster can stand heat up to 900 degrees. 
Fire up that grill!

Smoker Box
Now we can turn any grill into a smoker. This portable box is compatible with all grill types. Simply fill the bottom compartment with aromatic wood chips or fragrant herbs. This sounds fun, especially since it is on sale for a limited time.

"Mortgage Lifter" Heirloom Tomato Bourbon BBQ Sauce
I always say that homemade is healthier and tastier. But I trust those Beekman Boys, and love their products. And who else makes sauce from heirloom tomatoes that they grow themselves? It's a cute story how this sauce came to be, oh and it is gluten free.
 I'm ordering it.
