What it is:
A barbecue fork with a thermometer built in, to test your meat with ease.
Why we love it:
We're not what you'd call barbecue enthusiasts. We like barbecued food certainly, but we're not particularly skilled at the actual grilling itself; we prefer to leave such things to other people. As such, it's a rare barbecue gadget that really gets us to stand up and take notice, so when we do, we feel obligated to pass it on to our readers. This is one such gadget, which seems immensely handy for just about any kind of grilling. It's a fork, of the sort one generally uses to turn steaks and the like on the grill, but with the added benefit of a meat thermometer built in. Flip your steak and you'll know if it's on its way to medium rare or not. Truly this is a gadget that even the barbecuing purist could find use for. Knowing just how hot your barbie really is can only lead to better barbecuing, and better barbecuing can only lead to grateful praise from barbecue appreciators like us, which is just what the grilling master lives for.
