It's Christmas time and we often wonder what to offer to a griller, a smoker, a BBQ "tripper" or a "newbie" in the field, so I decided to present to you my favorite products from the Weber brand as well as those of Marc-Antoine Turcotte, the manager of the Boucherville store.
First of all, know that Weber products always have a great warranty, so you can't go wrong by offering that.
BBQs
In terms of value for money, this is the best charcoal BBQ on the market right now. It will allow you to cook, grill and smoke any piece of meat for long periods of time, thanks to its components that give it incredible heat stability.
It's a beautiful machine that has a built-in thermometer on its left side shelf, illuminated buttons, a side burner, a "sear zone" that enhances radiant heat, a folding top grill... It is very efficient in terms of temperature and manages to keep it stable. The Genesis range is known for being super "solid", so it's a BBQ that will last for over 20 years!
A super affordable, super durable and compact BBQ. It's definitely a go-to model, especially for someone with a small patio.
This is a nice little portable BBQ.
It is quite "huge" for a portable model, it is an 18" BBQ. It is one of the few portable models with enough space to do indirect cooking.
It can be taken anywhere. Its rectangular shape and folding legs make it super easy to store, whether in a vehicle or a boat, and it's easy to carry around, even on a bike!
Accessories
An excellent Bluetooth thermometer that comes with 2 probes, but can have up to 4. The application is the aspect that sets this thermometer apart from others the most, there are a hundred presets that are already in place; it is really complete. Marc-Antoine also recommends combining an iGrill with a 7112 ambient probe for an ideal result. ;)
It's like a 2-in-1 product because the cooking plate (which is the lid of the casserole) can be used to, for example, cook eggs and bacon, and then the casserole to prepare soup, spaghetti sauce or even JP's famous competition beans . Made of cast iron and covered in porcelain enamel, this accessory conducts heat well and cleans super well.
It makes it easier to check the air inside the BBQ. If you know someone who burns everything they do on the BBQ, it's probably because the propellers on their device are dead (often, there can be a piece of coal that got stuck under the propellers, which makes them less airtight). It's perfect for doing a little annual maintenance on your machine.
For any "smashed burger" fan, this is an ideal accessory (which, moreover, is like a complement to the BBQ Quebec Farcisseur ). All you have to do is put the meat in the press, then crush it and that's it! (The meatball can also be made with the back of the black part for a bigger result.)
Made of cast iron, this Wok fits directly inside the Gourmet System grill and is perfect for making Asian dishes, stir-fries and pad thai. (It can even be used as a serving platter or salad bowl!)
Together, these 2 accessories allow you to transform a BBQ into a smoker. Also, the temperature of the device will be more stable and the indirect cooking surface larger. These are the kind of products that you don't think about getting, but which are really practical for improving your "BBQ game".
A classic set of utensils. This is possibly the best duo set on the market, of all brands; the utensils are very rigid.
For anyone who wants to have a griddle and be able to sear steaks at the same time, this is ideal. On one side, there is the grill section which allows for incredible searing, and on the other side, there is the The other is a solid plate that allows you to grill vegetables without losing any between the grills.
A nice practical gift that saves on charcoal and the purchase of a new grill. By placing this on top of the bottom grill that is already in the BBQ, the loss of pieces of charcoal is less and the grills last longer.
An effective accessory to save on charcoal and to maximize the heat inside the BBQ. With this, the chickens have a beautiful roasted skin and it is possible to target heat zones by placing the basket where you want.
Made of 304 stainless steel, this grill expands your cooking space. It can even be placed over a campfire and used as a cooking grate for multiple foods!
As the name suggests, it’s an all-in-one kit. Everything can be done with it: pizza, hot smoking, cold smoking, rotisserie… It’s truly a “game changer”. (Unusually, it’s not a Weber brand product, but it’s a “must” for anyone with a 22” kettle or a Performer.)
Made to go with the Gourmet System, this accessory is really, really, really well made. It's super stable, you can put the liquid directly in it when you want to cook a chicken and it even has a little built-in wok, which is perfect for cooking vegetables in the "cooking juices".
It's always handy to have and it looks great. If you're going to have an oven mitt, you might as well have a Weber oven mitt! ;)
This waterproof bag won't absorb moisture when left on the patio and is great for storing or moving charcoal, pellets or wood chips.
A grill that gives superb markings on steaks, without even having to turn them!
It replaces half of a full grill and it's really well made; the rim makes sure nothing spills over. It's also easy to clean.
Designed to fit any Weber BBQ that doesn't already have a lid support, this accessory is really easy to install and allows the lid to slide on and off the BBQ with ease. It's a great addition to make maneuvering easier; it frees up one hand and also prevents the lid from being dropped or dented.
Of course, there are also plenty of other Weber products that are interesting, but which I haven't talked about in detail here. I'm thinking, among others, of the Stainless Steel Vegetable Basket , the Corn Holder , the Basting Brush , the Brush , the Books , the Chimney Starters ...
