Father's Day Gifts Dad Will Love

(And A Contest!)

The store shelves are full of gifts for dad right now. From desk weights to silk ties, finding the perfect gift for Father's Day can be quite the overwhelming task. In our house an easy way to dad's heart is always getting something for the grill. Weber has put out some pretty neat grilling accessories this year that you know dad will just love to open up and use on Father's Day.

Here are a few great options that I recently had a chance to try out:
 
Weber Rib and Roast Holder
 
This might be the most-often used accessory in my BBQ arsenal. The stainless steel rib and roast holder can hold up to five racks of ribs, ensuring they get an even sear and maximizing the space on your grill. It also means you can easily slather them with sauce on both sides without flipping them back and forth. It fits perfectly into roasting pans and lifts your meat off of the grill surface and ensures air can circulate around the meat for even cooking. The roast holder can fit small roasts or even a whole chicken. It's also dishwasher safe for quick and easy clean-up. Here's one of my favourite roast recipes for the summer grill.
 
 
Weber Large and Small Fish Baskets
 
One of the hardest parts about grilling fish on the bbq is ensuring it doesn't break up and flake into small pieces. With the fish basket you can cook anything from whole fish, to filets, or salmon steaks as the flexible stainless steel wire adjusts to hold any size. I find the freshest whole fish I can get my hands on, season inside and out, rub with olive oil and stuff with herbs, et voila! Also, dishwasher safe for simple clean-up.
 
 
I want to help you make Father's Day special by giving away a Weber Q 140 Grill. It’s new for 2012 and is perfect for use on the porch or patio without the need for charcoal or briquettes.
