Spatula, long fork, and a paint brush.

Keep it simple. Fancy grilling tools will not make you a better cook, and it won't impress your friends.

Oops. Forgot about tongs.

Long tongs, metal spatula, instant-read thermometer, silicone basting brush, grill brush.
Should be all you need.
Oh, and a chimney starter if you have a charcoal grill.



I have this grill brush.  Bought it after a recommendation from America's Test Kitchen.  It does a great job, and the steel pad is easily washed in the dishwasher and easily replaced when worn out.  No need to buy a new handle.

A wireless thermometer is nice for long smoke sessions.

Wife bought me the Cabela's grilling tool set years ago. Don't care anything about fancy grilling tools but they work great.

Spatula, tongs, silicone sauce brush and a wire brush are all I use.

A good cleaning brush.

+1 on the silicone brush.  BBQ sauce stains and ruins everything else out there.

I have seen a lot of grillers buy pastry brushes to use on the grill and then wonder why they have a hard time getting them clean.  Just because it's a brush doesn't mean it's the right one for the job.

I don't even use grates, when I'm cooking a steak (straight on the coals). Anyway, I do all of my grilling with:



Lump charcoal

Chimney starter

Newspaper

Zippo

Brush

Paper Towels and Crisco (for the cast iron grates)

Tongs

Wireless probe thermometer, if smoking or slow cooking




I've never needed anything else.

Whatever you choose as your grilling tools just make sure
they're all loooooong.  When you find grill tools that are not
just long by normal utensil standards but freaky long you've
found the right ones.

You can't do your best work with burning knuckles!
