AIEVE Stainless Steel Easy Install BBQ Utensil Holder, 2-Pack

When you’re ready to begin grilling your favorite meats and vegetables, you need to have all of the necessary utensils at your fingertips. While most grills come with a side table to hold your plate of food, they don’t offer much in the way of storage. A BBQ utensil holder is an excellent solution to this problem. Most are easy to use and can be installed quickly. Here are a few things you’ll want to consider as you browse the available models.

Review the materials used to make the BBQ utensil holder. A premium stainless steel is ideal, as it’s rust and corrosion-resistant. The Ninth Five Swivel Swing Magnetic BBQ Utensil Holders goes a step further by covering their hooks with three protective layers that are weather resistant. That means you’ll be able to leave the holders attached to the grill, even if you don’t bring the grill inside after each use.

Determine how versatile the BBQ utensil holder is. Many models can be used on just about any grill; however, some are brand specific. For instance, the there is a model that is only compatible with 28 and 36-inch Blackstone griddles. Unless you own a Blackstone griddle, you won’t be able to use this particular utensil holder. Magnetic holders, on the other hand, can be installed anywhere there is a metal surface.

Check the BBQ utensil holder’s weight capacity to ensure it is capable of handling the weight of your tools. There are models with an industrial-grade strength of 60 pounds when the hooks are installed horizontally and 20 pounds when placed vertically. Some models have a smaller capacity, while others offer a capacity as high as 80 pounds.

Consider going with a BBQ utensil holder with extra features. A few options come on a wall mount, so you can install them on the railing of your back porch or the wall of your garage. Some hooks are made using a swivel swing design and include a professional recipe booklet with their purchase.

• When you opt for BBQ utensil holder hooks that use magnetism to stay in place, you need to protect the surface of the appliance or grill that you’re sticking them to. Otherwise, you risk scratching the surface due to the power of the magnetism. A simple piece of tissue paper placed between the magnet and the metal will do if there are no adhesive pads provided with your purchase.
• Should your BBQ utensil holder become dirty at any time, all you need is a little soapy dishwater to get it clean. It’s best to use a dish soap with grease-fighting properties.
• There are several factors that affect the price of a BBQ utensil holder set. These include the number of included hooks, the capacity of the hooks and any extra features. You’ll find the Ninth Five Swivel Swing Magnetic BBQ Utensil Holders and the Youngneer Magnetic Hook & BBQ Grill Utensil Holders are the most basic, and therefore have the most affordable price. You’ll pay a bit more for models which comes with a mountable rack or a caddy.
