Weber Grills and Accessories Heat Up the Holidays

Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether you've been naughty or nice this year, if you're lucky, maybe someone will stuff your stocking with a few lumps of charcoal. That's right, with year-round grilling growing in popularity, some of the hottest gifts under $200 are outdoor grills and grilling accessories.

"Grilling isn't just a summer sport anymore," said chef and cookbook author Jamie Purviance. "The gift of the grill is something unexpected and unique, and ultimately, something the whole family will enjoy." Some of Purviance's favorites include:

• The Weber Q, a portable gas grill small enough to take to the park, picnic, beach or tailgating party -- yet powerful and durable enough to be an everyday, stationary backyard grill. The Weber Q is a true grill: It has a P-shaped burner tube that emits open flames under its porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grate ($199 MSRP).
• The WeberBaby Q, a portable gas grill that has the same futuristic design of the Weber Q, but is even lighter and more compact. Perfect for urban dwellers with small balconies to RV users who have a small, onboard stowage space ($149 MSRP).
• The Weber Smokey Joe, a compact charcoal grill with a 14 1/2" cooking grate that's perfect for grilling small meals for picnics or camping ($34 MSRP).

"People are choosing to grill much more today than just hamburgers and hot dogs," said Purviance. "With everything from the holiday turkey to delicate fish and even dessert finding space on the grill, it makes sense that people have the correct tools to manage their outdoor kitchen." These Weber Style professional grade grilling tools fit nicely in a stocking:

• A Digital Thermometer that remotely alerts grillers when food is done and ready to come off the grill ($34.99 MSRP).
• A stainless steel, 18-inch-long Fish Turner with a seven-inch wide head to enable easy turning for filets and whole fish ($19.99).
• A stainless steel Grill Pan for cooking fries, vegetables, fruit, or delicate fish ($24.99).
• A stainless steel Vegetable Basket to grill chopped or sliced veggies that eliminates the hassle of trying to turn small pieces -- and it doubles as a wok pan ($24.99).
• A set of four stainless steel Skewers that is attractive and sturdy enough to go from the grill to the table ($24.99).
• Sleekly-styled, stainless steel Chef's Tongs ($12.99), Spatula ($14.99) and Fork ($14.99) that are also available in 3-Piece Stainless Steel Tool Set ($34.99).
