Did you know you can search Amazon to find the most popular products in all sorts of categories? That means you don’t have to waste time scrolling through pages of search results or reading customer reviews to find the best of the best. You can simply look to see what most people are buying and go from there. (It’s a less creepy way of looking in people’s real-life shopping carts while you’re at a store, and it’s a smart way to learn about new-to-you brands.)

While we have a pretty good idea of which food storage containers and cast-iron cookware are likely to be most popular among Amazon shoppers, grilling equipment is a broader category that includes some often-overlooked tools that only the most devoted grilling fans know about. So we took inspiration from their shopping habits and rounded up the most popular grilling gear for you to try at home. To our delight, some of these products are ones that our editors already tested and love themselves!

How can a set of kitchen tongs receive more than 24,000 five-star ratings? By costing only $7, having built-in locking mechanisms, and working perfeclty every time. These are heat-resistant and come in two lengths so you can easily grab stuff on the front or back of the grill. Having a second pair of tongs may seem unnecessary, but in the heat of the moment when you've got a grill full of different meats that need to be flipped, you'll love having some extra tongs handy.

A must-have for anyone who perfers food cooked to the ideal temperature (i.e. everyone).

This bestselling grill brush has an average 4.7-star rating, which is REALLY hard to get! Reviewers call it “the best grill brush you can buy.” The bristles stay intact (the biggest concern when it comes to cleaning your grill) and it has a built-in scraper to remove tough stuck-on food bits. The biggest complaint seems to be that people wish it had a longer handle, but the company designed it this way to give you the most scraping power.

Curious to try wooden grilling planks? These are the most popular ones on Amazon. Shoppers like them because they don’t char as easily as other planks, they’re big enough to put a few filets on each, and they impart a “magical” flavor that will make you look like a grilling master.
