We love making a whole meal on the grill and grill baskets make that possible.

You can also use these baskets to grill delicate fish to keep it from falling through the grates.

Your typical oven mitts won't stand a chance at a grill. These silicone grill gloves are made of flame-resistant material and are designed to stand up to the high heat of charcoal and gas grills.

These may be called "meat skewers," but they'll work well for fish and veggies too. At $1 per skewer, snagging a few packs of these for your next kebab night is a no-brainer.

If you have a charcoal grill, you'll need a fire starter. This chimney starter from Weber is a classic and easy for new grillers to use. Weber claims this is one of their fastest ways to produce hot coals to get cooking quickly.

Get back to basics with this two-piece tool set from OXO. The extra-long handles will keep your hands away from the hot flames, while the metal tong ends and larger spatula make handling food on the grill super easy.

A flexible grill light means you can do late-night grilling on any size grill. Just attach the base to the handle of your grill lid and when you lift it up, you can move the light to the perfect angle.
