We all have those essential grilling tools, like a spatula, a tong, and a grill brush. But sometimes, it’s important to mix things up. That’s why our Charcoal Companion® line of grilling tools includes some novelty items in addition to all the classics! Here are some of our favorites:

• The Charcoal Companion® Dizzy Dog® Hot Dog Spiralizer – CC2032 is one of our latest novelty items. The Dizzy Dog® spiralizes your hot dog, making room for all the toppings you want and maximizing crispness and caramelization. It’s easy to use – just toss the hot dog inside the Dizzy Dog and spin the wheel. Check out how to make Dizzy Pigs in a Blanket, The Poodle, and the Korean BBQ Dizzy Dog.

• The Charcoal Companion® Slash & Serve Meat Claws – CC1132 is the perfect way to rip apart larger meat, like roasts, turkeys, chickens, and hams. Plus, they look super cool, and you can feel like a warrior while you prepare your meal. They’re a tougher version of our classic meat claws, Charcoal Companion® Meat Claws – CC1130.

• No barbecue is complete without corn on the cob. Whether you like yours plain or slathered in butter, corn holders make it easier to get the most of each cob. Our customers rave about the Charcoal Companion® Wiener Dog Corn Holders in particular. We can’t blame them. Who can resist anything Dachshund-inspired? They’re so in demand that sometimes they sell out online!

• Last but not least: the Charcoal Companion® Flipping Funny Talking Spatula. Press a button on the front of the spatula and you’ll get a sassy comeback from the spatula itself. “It’s the little things that can bring a smile and this product brings laughter,” said one of our customers. We’ll take it!
