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. I second that. I end 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 is always welcome Here's another one Greg !!!I've consumed so many six-packs of beef, I can't even sit up straight....... That's right, a six pack of BEEF! You got a problem with that?! No,.....no problem here......thanks for putting a capper on a long, weird day !!!!

My dad is big into wine, he's a wine writer on the west coast... http://www.grape-nutz.com. If I've learned anything about what to give him on dad's day, it's not to give him ANYTHING wine related (except for a bottle of wine) because a: he already has it, or b: the reason he doesn't have it is because he doesn't want it. Same goes with grilling & bbqing for the grilling & bbqing enthusiast.
Marty, I know you have one in mind, but the remore therm I use is awesome. Sharper Image talking remote therm.
How about a Weber Kettle Club vent poster? I think I can arrange that.
