HELP: Father's Day Gift Ideas??
« on: May 08, 2013, 07:18:38 PM »
Hello gentlemen!

I'm working on a blog post for Fathers Day and I need your help.

What BBQ / Grilling related products would make good Father's day gifts?
What products would NOT make good gifts? (I write with some mixed in humor, so throw me some bones)

Quit moonlighting on other sites. 

As far as gift ideas, anything Weber makes.  And a bag of charcoal.

I asked for a WKC t-shirt, and some Zavod handles. 

I *never* like getting those hokey 'grilling toolkits', because the stuff sucks, there's always a shiny case that I would never use, the kit inevitably includes a big serrated knife for draining the juice out of a steak, and there are about 30 pieces in there when all I need is some tongs and maybe a spatula on occasion.  And since I love to grill, I already have that stuff
One of the charcoal people.

I second that. I end up with these well intentioned "gifts" for Dad's Day, birthday, or Christmas from people who really have no idea. Much better to give/receive a favorite bag of charcoal and some nice steaks... or a salmon or lobster tail!
 And NO mail order or steak of the month club either! These are usually heavily spiced up so any natural beef flavors are gone and you're left super thirsty from all the salt.
Speaking of thirsty... a six pack of his/my favorite beef beer is always welcome ;D

That reminds me Greg, when I picked up that Homer the guy didn't have change, so he gave me an unused set of grilling utensils in a case... like he was doing me a favor  ::)
