Certain sounds fill the heart with the joys of summer, but the season's undisputed high note has to be the sizzle of a garden barbecue. Beyond clear blue skies, and an excellent potato salad recipe, what more could a griller want besides first-rate barbecue tool sets?
Once you've chosen the barbecue itself — no mean feat with so many lovely charcoal, gas and briquette BBQs to choose from – thoughts inevitably turn to other useful bits like knives, skewers and basting brushes. In the right hands, even the humble wire brush becomes an unsung hero of good al fresco living. From an artisanal, heirloom-worthy collection, to an affordable five-piece set, there’s a perfect pick for everyone in our edit.
Don’t have time to read the full guide? We have rounded up the very best barbecue sets for your al fresco cooking, in one compact list.
When you want to purchase some new grilling tools, taking stock of your favourite al fresco recipes is a good place to start. Whether you're likely to smoke a whole chicken, lightly char watermelon wedges or griddle an iceberg lettuce, make sure the set you purchase gives you the tools to match your outdoor cooking.
Barbecue knives and forks with wooden handles are an attractive choice, but bear in mind that you will need to step up the care to keep the handles in tip top shape. Be sure the tools are long enough to keep your fingers at a distance from the open flames; long-handled tongs with heat-resistant handles come in handy when you are flipping food.
If you’re looking for attractive grilling tools, Toast is a great place to start. This set is forged, hammered and finished by hand in the UK. It’s exactly the kind of attention to detail you would expect from a brand that only creates what it knows
