There's no guarantee they'll make your food taste any better, but Miansai's set of 14K gold grilling tools will ensure you're the fanciest chef on the block. The set includes a spatula, fork, knife, and tongs, all rendered in solid 14-karat polished gold. Each tool measures 18 inches long, and is undoubtedly the most expensive version you could find, even if they're unlikely to be any better than the $10 steel version for sale at the local big-box store.
Buckets are made to carry things, which makes the Texsport Barbecue Bucket Charcoal Grill inherently portable. Ideal for camping and tailgating, its compact size still offers enough room to cook four burgers at a time. Its chrome-plated and powder-coated metal body will stand up to repeated use, and the black carry/storage bag will keep charcoal and ash from spilling out while on the move.

Mixing innovative, patented design with robust construction, the Ferno Grill might be the last grill you ever buy. At the center — literally and figuratively — of the grill is its ingenious Firewheel, which raises and lowers the gas burners to allow for fine-tuned temperature control without moving the food up and down. Cast iron grates distribute heat evenly and flip over for cooking loose vegetables and pizzas, the optimal hood shape provides tons of interior volume for cooking larger items, and a swing out propane tank makes swaps easy and painless. Made in Santa Barbara, CA.
Weber's Kettle grills are iconic for a reason: they're ubiquitous, and they're great. The Pella from Spider Grills gives them a new trick: pellet grilling. Designed for 22" models, the Pella attaches to the side of the grill in seconds and detaches nearly as quickly. Its 12-pound capacity is enough for 12-hour cooks, with digital temp control that ranges from 175º to 500º. Powered by electricity, it's also weatherproof, easily portable, and takes up far less space than a second, dedicated pellet grill.
There's nothing like the age-old tradition of cooking food over an open flame. And the KUDU grill takes that tradition and infuses it with an innovative design that gives you maximum flavor and heat control along with a flexible, ample cooking surface.

It's all portable and perfect for camping or tailgating, and converts easily to an elevated fire pit once the meal is done, making it one of the most versatile cooking options in the world.

Traditionally crafted from ceramics in a rounded, egg-like shape, Kamado grills are outstanding for their heat retention and versatility. Kalamazoo's Shokunin takes these same traits but uses a rectangular design rendered in thick 304-grade stainless steel. With two inches of insulation, it can support internal temps up to 1,200º F while still remaining cool to the touch and offers a multi-tiered fire grate. The bottom position is ideal for smoking, the middle for roasting, and the top lets it serve as a traditional charcoal grill, with its shape providing added cooking space and the ability to cook with an offset fire. Far from a casual griller, it weighs over 200 pounds and is built by hand in Michigan.
Using radiant instead of convection heat, this Pat LaFrieda-backed, German-made countertop machine delivers restaurant-quality sears at home. A pair of individually-adjustable infrared Overfire burners cranks things up to 1,500º F, giving you the steakhouse crust you long for while keeping the inside a juicy medium rare. A solid cast iron grid distributes the heat evenly and can hold the biggest Porterhouse your butcher can dish out, and is height-adjustable with a multi-purpose lever that doubles as a grate handler and bottle opener. The burners are easily removed for clean-up and are powered by readily-available propane tanks, letting you cook nearly anywhere.

Based in Brooklyn, New York, graphic designer Scott Reinhard combines vintage maps with elevation data to create stunning pieces of art. Reinhard uses a chromogenic process to create each print, which takes traditional color photography development and integrates 3-dimensional data with paper maps for a result that is so visually appealing, you'll be tempted to reach out and feel what looks like 3D texture. The process brings the maps to life, creating a 2D print that is vibrant and detailed giving you a unique work of art that blends history and modern technology.

The sleek, standalone grill is made from diecast aluminum and thick gauge metal and can cook anything that fits inside — from burgers to brisket, vegetables or pizza.

Argentinan chef Francis Mallmann has brought traditional Patagonian barbecuing techniques to the mainstream through his firey restaurants around the globe. The key to his signature char comes from his towering domed fire pits. To emulate this process at home, Mallmann has partnered with Best Made to create a line of outdoor meat alters. These grills stand eight-feet tall and feature ventilated firebox that replicates a chulengo pit roaster that works with both wood and charcoal. Meats can be cooked right over the flames on a grated grill, seared on a flat top, or hung from above for smoking. The entire piece is made from steel and crafted in Argentina.
Far from your average grill, the Aemyrie Wood Fired Oven is a serious outdoor kitchen. It can burn solid wood logs, briquettes, and charcoal, using a patent-pending intelligent temperature control system to make adjustments and ensure even, precise cooking. This same system enables cooking temps of over 650º F for juice-trapping sears. It also has an integrated pellet smoker for low and slow cooking. Roughly 1,400 sq. in. of cooking surface lets you cook meals for 30 or more, and with stainless steel construction complemented by your choice of signature side panels, the entire package is handmade in England and weighs nearly half a ton.
Capable of folding nearly flat, this portable implement has everything necessary to enjoy an outdoor fire. The chimney helps get the flames going quickly without the need for lighter fluid, while the grate provides just the right amount of cooking space for a couple of burgers or a few dogs. Setup is tool-free and takes under 20 seconds, and at less than five pounds, it's easy to pack to the beach, woods, or backyard.

Based in Arkansas, PK Grills have developed a cult following among the competitive barbecue circuit and backyard pit masters. Their newest grill & smoker is the PK360, which is made using hand poured cast aluminum that is rustproof, durable, and provides consistent and superior heat conduction. The grill features a marine grade stainless steel cooking surface with a hinged, removable section for easy refueling and is 40% larger than an 18-inch Big Green Egg. The PK360's unique capsule shape provides an advantage for direct high heat cooks as well as low and slow indirect cooking, while the two radial exhaust vents and two cylinder air intakes on the bottom create a 4-point system for the most consistent heat a charcoal grill has ever provided. Additionally, there are two removable shelves on each side, high density molded wheels for repositioning, and the ability for easy transportation as the capsule lifts from the control tower stand with the twist of a knob.
