Ours have a second job. Every tool in this collection earns its spot on the grill, then earns a second look from anyone standing next to it. It leads with Big Ron himself, a small stainless steel figure of a confident little man who stands watch over exactly one sausage. He has never dropped one. Not once. Is he necessary? No. Is he the best conversation the patio has had in years? Also no, but he is close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind Ron stands the crew.

Fresh pork and beef sausages and brats are done at 160F internal. Poultry sausage goes to 165F. Work two zones: cook over indirect heat, then finish over direct for the char, and resist the urge to pierce them (that is flavor leaving early). Hot dogs are already cooked, so you are just heating and adding color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want the full field guide, read \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/the-cookout\/weird-bbq-gadgets-that-are-secretly-genius\"\u003eweird BBQ gadgets that are secretly genius\u003c\/a\u003e, then browse the rest of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funny-grilling-gifts\"\u003efunny grilling gifts\u003c\/a\u003e and the picks that stay \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grilling-gifts-under-30\"\u003eunder $30\u003c\/a\u003e.
