Holiday Gift Guide for the Meat Lover

By Kaleigh Jurgensmeyer

The gift-giving season is officially among us. For the BBQ enthusiast, we’ve curated a list of some of the best grilling products and gear — with options on any budget.

1. BIG GREEN EGG

This kamado-style grill has a cult following and BBQ aficionados love that it can get to high temperatures due to the focused heat of its ceramic shell, but can also hold low temperatures and be used as a smoker.

Splurge: BGE XL ($1,199) — Made to cook for a crowd, the XL can tackle two dozen burgers, 12 steaks, or two whole turkeys at a time on its 24-inch grate.

Save: BGE MiniMax ($599) — This portable grill is perfect for camping or tailgating. It features an easy-grip carrier and boasts a cooking capacity equivalent to the Big Green Egg Small (chicken, two steaks or four burgers).
