I would add a knife sharpener, various shakers for rubs, a coffee/spice grinder (mostly for black pepper), a funnel or two for putting rub from a bowl into a shaker, squeeze bottles for BBQ sauces.

Hey Jeremy,
Since it has been awhile would love to see an updated version of the list.
Maybe even make it more than 10.
Maybe 15, 20, 25?

Were love to see how your list has changed or items used have changed over time.

Tongs, an ash tool/bucket, some good blues music and a good beer is all you forgot! 😜😋😅

Bluetooth digital thermometer Chogood makes a really nice one, it has a place for 6 different probes. i put one or 2 on my grate to monitor internal temps better, and then one in each meat. it reports back to an app on your phone when the temps are to low or to high. I love that thing

[HeadtoTailBBQCooking]

Great video! I also like having a really good set of tongs and plater for taking the meat to and from the pit.

A few items I have that you didn't mention, a solid folding table/chair to keep outside with you, I use a bluetooth temp reader (I have the igrill) works great to keep grate level temps and meat temps I can check on my phone, and propane torch if you're using charcoal.

Beer and a spare beer, just in case one runs out.

Great information. I’ve watched nearly everything Franklin has done and like his style. What I really like about your channel is the extras, I don’t cook as often as I you by far but enough that I’ve purchased a dual probe thermometer and now I know the better knife to purchase. Really like the apron but I have a “smoking shirt” had it forever, looks like hell but it’s a thing I never cook with out it LOL. Anyway great vid and hope you have continued success

Hey Mad Scientist, you forgot a good pair of tongs. Thanks for all you do.

[divinedbag]

good video, only thing i'd maybe add is a chimney coal starter.... i guess thats more of a preference though i know a lot of guys just use a torch but i like the set and forget aspect of the chimney. throw some crumpled newspapers or pieces of coal bag in the chimney for starter. i usually invert the chimney to get a small amount of coals going with the minion method for low n slow cooks

Try the Shun Classic 9” bread knife (if you haven’t tried it) ! It works better than my wusthof 12” brisket slicer. I know that ones cheap but nothing looks better than a shun knife.

[understandinc]

a good wireless multi-probe thermometer - i recommend the thermoworks products.

[Mithrandir]

Thanks for your Video ... most of the items i am already using ... BUT, the advice with the bread knife is new to me and I will definitely try it out, since I am looking since quite a while for a decent slicing knife. Double thumbs up, brother! I really appreciate all the work you do to support people who love to BBQ. I follow you since quite a while and I can say, that you helped me in quite a few ways regarding a perfect cooking.

Best regards from Germany

I’m mexican and your numbering at the end of the video was perfect, hahaha.

Very useful video, thanks.

I would suggest a hand towel. I always have one hanging from my apron so I can clean my hands -even when I wear gloves as well- regularly.

Great video, love your work mate
You do a killer English accent mate, too funny !

[laurielyon]

Good clip. Very informative and well presented.
And I enjoyed the well executed Southern and the English accent too.
You must have a great even two.
Keep up the good work!

Agree with others about digital thermometer with multiple probes. Mine has a remote control head I keep with me so I don’t have to be at the smoker to check the temp of the meat or smoker. I use the instant read thermometer for quick grilling like steaks, chicken.

[adrianmacias]

Another great video! Thanks fort the headlamp tip. I've never considered one till now! Keep up the good work!

[tommyroberts]

Good job. And I do like that apron.
One thing I use a lot is tongs.

The bbq foil has a shiny and a dull side with the dull side up for the non-stick side so the fat/grease to be able to run down it to the drip can or bucket. If the foil isn’t too messy, it sometimes can be wiped off and re-used.
