One of my favorite companies, Cave Tools, has launched three new products for grilling enthusiasts.
The Marinade Meat Injector kit ($21.99) makes adding flavor to meat as simple as giving it a shot. It’s made with rustproof 304 stainless steel and includes three marinade needles for injecting flavor into you’re grilling choices including chicken, turkey, beef, pork, and brisket.
With the marinade needles, your choices are a large 6-inch, a 12 hole 6-inch (for liquid marinades) and a 3-inch precision tip needle for smaller meats.
The barrel has air-tight suction and an easy release of up to 2.3-ounces of marinade. On the side is a clear plastic measurement window, which is great to not only show you how much is left but to also help portion the marinade injections.
The one-size-fits-all BBQ Grilling Glove oven mitts ($24.99) are made with aramid kevlar and silicone on the outside and are heat resistant up to 662-degrees Fahrenheit so you should be safe from burning your hands. Extended cuffs are built on the gloves to protect your forearms
A polycotton inner liner makes them a comfortable fit and when they need a cleaning, warm water will do the trick or just put them in the washing machine.
When the gloves are on, you have full flexibility for removing pots, pans or meats from the grill safely and burn-free.
Finally, the Pellet Tube Wood Smoker Box ($17.99) works with any smoker or grill for adding a smoky flavor to any meat and meal. It’s also built with rust-free 304 stainless steel and has a horizontal design for evenly distributing the smoky flavor.
It lasts up to 8 hours before a refill of new wood pellets is needed.
Like all Cave Tool grilling products, you get 25 professional barbecue recipes free, which include step by step instructions and detailed grilling tutorial videos. Cave Tools also offers a lifetime satisfaction guarantee, which will allow a return for a full money-back refund.
