If he talks about the grill more than the television, do not buy him a funny apron. Buy him a tool that makes the thing he already does a little better.

This guide is a sample. The products are placeholders, the panel notes are not real quotes, and the links do not go to a shop.

The Gift Finder will narrow this list if grilling is only one of his hobbies. Camping versions of the same idea are in gifts for the outdoorsman.
