Just In Time For Summer--Brookstone Announces 2009 Lineup Of Grill Tools And Gifts

Merrimack, NH (PRWEB) May 22, 2009 -- Specialty retailer Brookstone® announces its 2009 lineup of specialty grill tools (http://www.brookstone.com/store/category.asp?cid=1801&wid=18&search_type=subcategory&cm_ven=Partner&cm_cat=Prweb&cm_pla=grill-tools&cm_ite=grill-tools) and gifts. In addition to its famous line of BBQ tools gift sets, Brookstone® offers innovative new BBQ cooking tools to help people get more enjoyment from their backyard cookouts and keep family coming back for more.

Unique BBQ grill gifts include easy-to-read propane tank gauges, digital meat thermometers, rotisserie hot dog grillers, BBQ grill lights, motorized brushes and a new assortment of MLB®, NFL® and NCAA® licensed grill and propane tank covers.

Shoppers can find unique grill gifts at Brookstone® stores nationwide or online at Brookstone.com starting at just $25.

BBQ Grill Propane Gauge (http://www.brookstone.com/store/product.asp?product_code=533695&cm_ven=Partner&cm_cat=Prweb&cm_pla=grill-tools&cm_ite=propane-gauge) -- $25

It almost seems inevitable--just when people go to fire up the grill, it mysteriously runs out of propane. Well, not any more. The Brookstone propane gauge lets people see at a glance how much gas they have, eliminating BBQ surprises. The dial is easy to read--red means out of gas, yellow means it's getting low, and green means the grill is good to go. (The dial even takes the outdoor temperature into account, to ensure more accurate readings). Plus, the propane gauge prevents gas flow until the grill is completely connected, and automatically checks for hazardous gas leaks every time the grill is started. (Item #592881)

BBQ Motorized Hot Dog Griller (http://www.brookstone.com/store/product.asp?product_code=628008&cm_ven=Partner&cm_cat=Prweb&cm_pla=grill-tools&cm_ite=hotdog-griller) -- $69.95

This easy-to-use hot dog rotisserie eliminates burn marks, cold spots and waste--and the built-in electric motor means there's no need to hover around the grill, either. Hot dog griller stands on the grill and automatically rotates hot dogs on rollers a few inches above the grill surface, ensuring delicious results every time. There's plenty of room for multiple hot dogs, and the design also works well with sausage, bratwurst or kielbasa. Plus, because the hot dog griller elevates the hot dogs up off the grill, there is plenty of grill space left underneath for burgers, chicken and more. (Item #628008)

Grill Canopy (http://www.brookstone.com/store/product.asp?product_code=587527&cm_ven=Partner&cm_cat=Prweb&cm_pla=grill-tools&cm_ite=grill-canopy) -- $79.95

There is no reason why too much sun or a passing shower has to interrupt a barbecue. People can grill fearlessly in all sorts of conditions, secure in the knowledge that this grill canopy will protect them from sun and rain, while they cook in comfort. The grill canopy is made from Gardelle™, a protective, weather-resistant fabric specially treated with a flame-retardant. Built-in vents let smoke and heat dissipate safely, while still sheltering the griller and the grill from the elements. The height of the grill canopy adjusts to fit different grills, and the interior wipes clean. Installs in minutes without tools. 46" w x 42" l. (Item #587527)

Handle-Mount Grill Light (http://www.brookstone.com/store/product.asp?product_code=439794&cm_ven=Partner&cm_cat=Prweb&cm_pla=grill-tools&cm_ite=grill-light) -- $50

Designed to fit any grill handle, the grill light takes the guesswork out of grilling in low (or no) light, allowing people to see what's ready and what needs more time, without having to juggle a flashlight. Perfect for parties and everyday dinners in any season, the grill light is rugged and weather-resistant, so it can be left mounted all year long. Pivoting design adjusts to shine the light right where it's needed--and swings out of the way when not in use. Super-bright LED bulbs last over 100,000 hours and never need replacing. Auto shutoff after 6 minutes to conserve battery life. Uses 4 D batteries (not included). (Item #439794)

Motorized Grill Brush (http://www.brookstone.com/store/product.asp?product_code=558759&cm_ven=Partner&cm_cat=Prweb&cm_pla=grill-tools&cm_ite=motorized-grill-brush) -- $25

This grill brush keeps the grill sparkling clean with dual revolving brass brushes and a powerful motor. No more scrubbing--just press the power button and guide the grill brush across the grill. The strong motor and dual brass brushes make quick work of the dirtiest grill. A built-in stainless steel scraper works on extra-tough buildup. The full-size ergonomic handle is easy to grasp and helps reduce wrist strain. Brush head is removable for easy cleaning, too. Uses 4 C batteries (not included). (Item #558759)

MLB® Licensed Uniform Gas Grill Covers (http://www.brookstone.com/store/product.asp?product_code=629089&cm_ven=Partner&cm_cat=Prweb&cm_pla=grill-tools&cm_ite=mlb-grill-covers) -- $49.95

Summer's here…the season of blue skies, barbecues, and baseball. Some grill tools are all function and no fun--but officially licensed baseball grill covers protect the grill from the elements, and make game-day cookouts an occasion. These durable, heavy-duty pro baseball grill covers shield the grill from moisture, UV rays and debris, while proudly displaying the authentic look of a favorite team's uniform. Available teams include the Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, NY Mets, Philadelphia Phillies and the St. Louis Cardinals. (Item #629071)

Grill Alert® Talking Remote Thermometer (http://www.brookstone.com/store/product.asp?product_code=330654&cm_ven=Partner&cm_cat=Prweb&cm_pla=grill-tools&cm_ite=grill-alert) -- $69.95

Grill tools like the Grill Alert® allow any host to be both the grill master and the life of the party, up to 300 feet away from the grill. Simply select the type of meat to be cooked and how it should be done, insert the stainless steel temperature probe in the center of the meat and attach the Grill Alert® to the included belt clip. That's it--a host is free to mix and mingle with guests. A voice prompt will announce when the meal is "Almost Ready" and "Ready" from 300 feet away. (Item #558783)

Always Perfect™ Chef's Fork (http://www.brookstone.com/store/product.asp?product_code=560383&cm_ven=Partner&cm_cat=Prweb&cm_pla=grill-tools&cm_ite=chefs-fork) -- $29.95

The name says it all. These grill tools take the guesswork out of grilling, helping people grill to perfection every time, whether they prefer rare, well done, or somewhere in between. The built-in digital thermometer measures doneness of nine types of food (including meat, chicken, fish, hamburger and more) based on USDA-approved temperatures, and shows the current doneness level on the easy-read display. Backlighting makes the fork easy to use at night, too, and it shuts off automatically after 2 minutes to help conserve battery life. Uses 4 AAA batteries (not included). (Item #560383)
