Make every cook
count.

Start with a correctly sized BBQ cover, reliable tongs and spatula, a food thermometer and cleaning products suitable for your grill. These essentials help protect your barbecue, handle food safely and keep the cooking surface in good condition. Add specialist tools as you explore different cooking techniques.

Choose a cover made for your barbecue model where possible, or carefully measure its width, depth and height before selecting a compatible option. Look for durable outdoor fabric, secure fastenings and appropriate ventilation. Allow the barbecue to cool completely and ensure it is dry before covering it.

A meat thermometer is one of the most useful BBQ accessories because colour and cooking time alone do not reliably indicate food safety. An instant-read thermometer helps check burgers, chicken, steaks and other foods, while a leave-in probe is useful for roasts and low-and-slow smoking. Follow recommended safe internal temperatures for the food you are preparing.

Some accessories are universal, while others are designed for specific barbecue models or brands. Covers, hotplates, cooking racks and replacement components often need exact dimensions or model compatibility. Check the product details and your barbecue model number before purchasing.

A suitable pizza stone or steel, pizza peel, heat-resistant gloves and a pizza cutter can make outdoor pizza cooking easier. Some barbecues also support dedicated pizza oven attachments or accessories. Check your appliance’s temperature limits and manufacturer guidance before using stones or attachments.

The accessories range includes charcoal and other BBQ fuels, along with cleaning tools and care products. Choose fuel that is appropriate for your barbecue and use cleaning products recommended for its materials and finishes. Availability can vary by product and store.
