The 4th of July is certainly incomplete without two things — fireworks and barbeque. While you can source the former from most nearby stores, have you ever thought of making your barbeque experience better than ever? Apart from the type of meat, you can significantly upgrade your BBQ on Independence Day using some gadgets that can help you cook. Trust me, you didn’t know you wanted them so bad!
1. Kitchen Perfection Heat Resistant Gloves
Safety should always be your priority during BBQ sessions in your backyard. Simply slip on these gloves before you start grilling, and you can ensure your hands remain safe. There are grooves on the gloves, which help with better grip and heat resistance.

It’s always important to ensure the meat you’re cooking reaches optimal temperatures so that it tastes the best. Since you can’t measure it accurately without the right kind of apparatus, I recommend picking up the Inkbird smart meat thermometer.
Unlike most meat thermometers , which only display the temperature on the built-in display, this smart thermometer has Bluetooth functionality that can transmit the data to your smartphone. This feature is advantageous because you can view the temperature of the meat remotely and head back to the BBQ to check on it only when necessary. Inkbird’s thermometer is also much more affordable than other wireless options. If you love barbequing and do not have this smart device yet, now is the best time to get one.

A manual grill with charcoal surely works well but has its own set of issues. You need to fetch coal, light it up, and then wait a while for the coal to heat up. Instead, if you get the Masterbuilt digital smart grill, you don’t have to deal with these issues. It has a digital heating element and the ability to control temperatures via the app. Cool, right?
The best part of the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800 grill is that you can use multiple different tops and surfaces based on what you’re cooking. There’s a flat-top griddle to cook eggs or bacon or roast some vegetables. You can set the temperature of the grill on your phone, and the digital fan ensures the temperatures are maintained constantly without any fluctuations.
If you’re an ardent barbeque fan, you absolutely must consider the Masterbuilt smart charcoal grill. It makes your job a lot easier while also saving you time and effort since you can monitor the temperature and set cooking parameters directly from the app.
