While summer is the all-time favorite time to host BBQ parties, there is something about the fall’s dropping temperatures that make the warmth and the smoky smell coming from the grill even more endearing.
I personally get the most use out of my BBQ Island and equipment in the fall. Who’d want a hot, melting cheeseburger as a refreshing treat in the summer, right? Okay, we all do – but still.
Fall is that time of the year that’s still warm enough to hang out outside without heavy jackets and it’s the season for all the delicious grilled veggies like squashes, sweet potatoes, and brussel sprouts.
That’s why we’ve collected our picks for the BBQ accessories to spice up your cooking this fall.
GMG Smokers
Quite frankly, there’s something about the pellet smokers that electric grills can’t replicate for me. Is it the smell? The smoke? The feels?
And it wouldn’t be wrong to say Green Mountain Grills are a household name when it comes to pellet smokers. They’re one of those few companies that have perfectly and seamlessly blended tradition with technology.
Their smokers have a digital controller that manages the internal temperature by controlling the firebox’s oxygen and fuel supply. Similarly, the Venturi-style firebox produces the ultimate wood-burning fire – circulating pure hardwood smoke and flavor throughout the grill.
However, what stands out the most to me is that their smokers give you complete control at your fingertips. From efficiently controlling and monitoring the smoker from the comfort of your sofa or on-the-go with the help of a WiFi connection.
Other features like creating and setting cooking profiles and setting timers to receive alerts make your life easier while delivering perfectly cooked and charred delicious BBQ dishes.
The fact that Green Mountain Grills was founded by a dissatisfied customer says a lot about the company and its products. Thus, they’re short of the usual shortcomings that accompany many pellet grills.
Size: These grills are somewhat smaller in size, with 200 sq. in cooking space, making them perfect companions to take on camping and hunting trips. The Davy Crockett is the smoker ideal for camping and tail-gating. This smoker has folding legs and can be purchased with a carry bag for easy transportation.
Easy Use: With features like WiFi, timers, and remote cooking, there’s no shade of doubt that these grills provide fantastic usability.
Temperature Range:
Boasting a digital display, these smokers come with adjustable temperature, which ranges from 150-degrees Fahrenheit to 500-degrees Fahrenheit. On top of that, you can tweak the temperature using the app.
Z Grills Offset Pellet Smokers
While we’re at it, let’s talk about yet another excellent grill we just had to include in our list. And it’s none other than the perfect Z Grills Offset Pellet Smoker.
Suppose you’re confused about settling for a traditional offset smoker or getting yourself a trendier pellet smoker. In that case, you can put the worries to the rest. Z Grills offers you the best of both worlds for a great bargain.
Want to know something even better? You can choose from a standalone grill, one with a basic tool kit, and all the way to the deluxe kit, depending on your budget.
The offset smokers come in an impressive size. There’s a whopping 1060 square inches of cooking space, which gives you ample space to cook for any kind of crowd.
Once you set the temperature with a push of the button, the intuitive smoker will maintain temperatures to the desired range to deliver consistent, smoky flavors.
Whether it’s smoking, baking, braising, roasting, or char-grilling, the versatile temperature range of 180 to 140-degrees Fahrenheit gives you all the options.
There are other qualities we love as well. For instance, the aside shelf with hooks will help you keep all the grilling essentials nearby while also acting as a trustworthy and reliable area for prepping the meat. Likewise, an enclosed cabinet gives the much-needed storage space for extra racks and BBQ tools—enhancing the grilling experience.
Designed with not one, not two, but 4 casters, these smokers can be very easily relocated without the fear of it rolling away as the locking mechanism keeps it stable.
And last but not the least—the cleaning. Quite honestly, cleaning is a breeze with Z Grills Offset Pellet Smokers. You can simply dump the ash, which will save you the trouble of vacuuming and cleaning—thanks to their ingenious ash cleanout system.
Alfa Pizza Oven
Alfa Pizza Ovens are quite popular in the pizza oven scene, thanks to their ethos to stay true to the old-world style of cooking on brick. If there’s one brand that has blended the old and new methods perfectly for even more perfect pizzas, it’s the Alfa Pizza Ovens.
There is a wide range of options available, catering to all kinds of budgets. But one thing is for sure: irrespective of the model, you’ll be guaranteed a hassle-free, excellent cooking experience every time.
Here’s a few reasons why you’ll love this pizza oven.
Minimum startup time
Gone are the days when it would take ovens forever to preheat. And that’s one factor a lot of people steer clear of the wood-burning ovens. However, Alfa’s unique design allows it to start up and heat in as little as 10 minutes for cast iron cooking.
Insulation
Alfa’s ovens boast of a way more thicker body than the rest of the pizza ovens available in the market. Thus, you don’t need to worry about anything burning. The heat is dispersed and held evenly.
Refractory bricks
Alfa uses their own proprietary bricks on the oven floor, which soaks in the heat quite quickly and efficiently, spreading the heat evenly, so everything is cooked evenly.
Shut down is a breeze
All you have to do to turn off this oven is simply cover the opening and the flame will be extinguished. This may not seem like much at first, but it will allow for the wood to be used for a future cooking session, similar to lump charcoal.
Bromic Heating
We did a pretty exhaustive search on your behalf for the best outdoor heater and came up with one selection: Bromic Heating.
Unlike most heaters that don’t seem to have evolved aesthetically since the industrial era, this one looks like a plasma television. On top of that, it packs a lot of power and has minimal clearances needed above it.
Available in two premium ranges – Platinum Smart-Heat and Tungsten Smart-Heat- these heaters by Bromic have been designed in-house to safeguard the best quality and performance possible.
The Platinum range has been designed to cater to the very premium, style-centric settings. These can provide a low clearance in a semi-enclosed setting, while also minimizing light emissions to ensure that it blends seamlessly into its surroundings. Here, you can choose from gas and electric options.
Likewise, the Tungsten range leans more towards the robust aesthetic that’s reminiscent of the industrial designs. These can ensure high-performance heating in both open outdoor and semi-enclosed spaces alike—offering a complete ‘wall of heat’ across a vast footprint and expanding the comfort created by each unit. Here, you get the options for gas and electric as well.
So, that brings me to the end of this article, where I shared with you our top picks of BBQ accessories for the fall season. As the situation outside is still problematic, and social distancing is something that we will have to practice for a good another year, why not invest in a few top-notch BBQ accessories and equipment that will last you a good while.
This fall, enjoy the coziness and comfort of your home that’s made even more memorable by delicious BBQs. Stay safe!
