Tongs:

Fork:

Most people will tell you that you should never use a fork on meats that you grill. Most people are wrong. If you have a stack of chops to flip the easiest and fastest way to flip them is with a fork.

Spatula:

A good spatula for the grill doesn't need to have a bunch of doo-dads upon it; a quality stainless steel one will do the trick. All a spatula needs to do is easily slip under foods to lift and turn. That's all it needs to do, but it needs to do it well to avoid foods from sticking and tearing apart.

Basting brush:

Brushes:

A clean grill is an efficient grill and reduces the amount of burnt food from prior sessions ending up on tonight’s dinner.
