BEST TEMP CONTROLLERS FOR OPTIMAL GRILLING

One of the most important parts of grilling is knowing when to say when. You want your meats to be cooked to perfection, of course, but looks can be deceiving. Those drumsticks might seem perfect on the outside, but if they're even a little bit raw on the inside, you could be in for some unhealthy trouble.

Fortunately, you don't have to guess. At BBQ Island, we're big fans of gadgets to help you cook your food to perfection. High on our list of must-haves are temperature thermometers to keep in the pocket of your chef's apron while you're grilling or smoking. Thanks to digital technology, you can get exact results in just seconds, so it's a snap to figure out if dinner's done or needs a few more minutes over the fire.
