Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
According to a recent study published by the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association, three-quarters of grill owners keep cooking outside through the winter, providing a prime opportunity for retailers to keep grill and grill accessory sales going throughout the fall season. Hardware Retailing recommends these five grilling products to bulk up your grilling section.
Grilling Utensils
The Hasty Bake Stainless Steel Grate Scraper from Hasty Bake is a durable, longer-lasting alternative to a traditional wire grill brush. The scraper matches the angled V-shape of many cooking grates, making it easy to remove buildup. The tool can also be used as a coal rake.
The Locking Tongs from Current Backyard include interchangeable grips for customizable hold, a locking mechanism for compact storage and a scalloped-edge design for precise flipping and turning. Made of stainless steel, the tongs are heat-resistant for high-temperature cooking and dishwasher safe.
Grill Cleaning Products
The Grill & Grate Cleaner from Goo Gone is a plant-based foaming gel cleaner that removes food, carbon and grease on grills. The formula is biodegradable, reduces smoke and flare-ups and is compatible with most metals, cooking grates and drip pans.
Seasonings
Kinder’s Sauces & Seasonings Butcher’s All Purpose Seasoning is a blend of sea salt, garlic, spices and chilis that work well with beef, pork, chicken and vegetables. The seasoning has a 12 to 24 month shelf life and comes in a 6-ounce container.
The Drunken Pineapple BBQ Sauce from Whiskey Bent is a tropical barbecue sauce with smoky bourbon undertones. The sauce is ideal for ribs, tacos, burgers or any grilled item and is sold in a 21-ounce bottle.
