Non-grilling specific accessories/gadgets you didn't know you need

[MikeRocksTheRed]

There are a lot of creative people here at the WKC forums.  Curious to see things that you use quite a bit when grilling or smoking that people might not normally think of.

I'll start it off with something that has saved my butt quite a few times. 

For me rechargeable batteries and a battery charger are a must have.  I have two Maverick thermos and it seems like if one is dead, then the back up is dead too.  I love having my battery charger so I don't have to run out for batteries at the minute.  I have a few extra batteries on standby most of the time, and even if I don't it only take 20-30 minutes to charge enough to get through a long smoke.  Usually that 20-30 minutes is lighting the grill and getting it up to temp so there really is not time wasted while the batteries are getting a quick partial charge.

I've got something like this:



Another one is a 25 pack of shop towels.  Saves me from going through a ton of paper towels.  Just keep the used ones in a plastic bag until there are almost no cleans ones left and toss them in the washing machine.
Shop Towels

I figured out the shop towels, shortly after ruining a couple kitchen towels.

I use old cut up t-shirts that "shrank" and don't fit anymore.
