With Father\u2019s Day coming up soon, now is the time to shop for something special to gift your dad, husband, grandpa or other father figure. If he loves manning the grill all summer long, why not cater to his favorite hobby with a nice gift for his next backyard barbecue? We rounded up 13 gifts, including aprons<\/a>, seasonings<\/a>, utensils<\/a> and more, that will level up his grilling game. And if you order today, they\u2019ll arrive before Father\u2019s Day on June 15!<\/p>

  1. Dad can make sure his meats are cooked to perfection with this wireless meat thermometer<\/strong><\/a>. The heat-resistant probe reaches up to over 750\u00b0F, and the smart screen display will let him know when his food has reached its desired temperature. <\/li> <\/ol>
    1. If smash burgers are his go-to meal, this cast-iron press<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>will help him achieve the perfect crust on those patties. The wood handle makes it easy to lift, and the grill marks sear food quickly and evenly. He can even use this press for things like bacon and paninis, too. <\/li> <\/ol>
      1. Make a barbecue-themed basket for Dad and throw this McCormick Grill Mates Seasoning<\/strong><\/a> in it. Great for chicken, ribs, steak and more, it\u2019ll add a sweet, smoky flavor to his dishes. <\/li> <\/ol>
        1. You can also include this Capital City Mambo Sauce Variety Pack<\/strong><\/a> to the aforementioned barbecue basket. It includes two flavors, Mild and Sweet Hot, and over 16,700 reviewers have given it a five-star rating, with some saying<\/a> it\u2019s \u201cthe best sauce ever.\u201d<\/li> <\/ol>
          1. This Ninja Woodfire Pro Outdoor Grill<\/strong><\/a> also serves as a BBQ smoker and air fryer. It\u2019s large enough to feed a crowd and has a built-in thermometer to ensure that the meat is perfectly cooked. <\/li> <\/ol>
            1. If he needs to chop meat or veggies before grilling, he\u2019ll need this wooden cutting board<\/strong><\/a>. Crafted with organic bamboo, it\u2019s moisture and odor-resistant, has deep grooves to catch liquid and even comes pre-oiled.<\/li> <\/ol>
              1. Every BBQ master needs a good cutting knife, so why not gift him this one<\/strong><\/a>? Perfect for carving brisket, ribs and turkey, reviewers say it slices through meats like soft butter<\/a>.<\/li> <\/ol>
                1. Dad can take this 14-inch Gas One Portable Barbecue Grill<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>with him <\/strong>to cookouts, the lake or on camping trips. Even though it\u2019s small, it\u2019s spacious enough to cook several burgers at one time. Plus, the dual ventilation system ensures even cooking throughout. <\/li> <\/ol>
                  1. Make sure he cleans up after grilling with this Cuisinart Stainless Steel Grill Cleaner Brush<\/strong><\/a>. The long handle and sturdy bristles make it easy to remove stuck-on grease and grime. Reviewers confirm<\/a> it cleans well and that \u201cafter dozens of uses, it looks relatively new.\u201d<\/li> <\/ol>
                    1. Time for a tool refresh? You can\u2019t go wrong with this under-$15 Amazon Basics 4-Piece Stainless Steel Tool Set<\/strong><\/a>, which includes a spatula, grill fork, a pair of tongs and a storage bag. <\/li> <\/ol>
                      1. This chef apron<\/strong><\/a> includes a small front pocket for his phone and a larger one for his recipe books, spatula and more. Reviewers say it’s “built to handle the heat<\/a>” and that it does an “amazing job<\/a>” of keeping them clean and protected from grease.<\/li> <\/ol>
