It’s a fact: dads can be nearly impossible to shop for. Ask what they want, and you’ll probably get a shrug or hear, “I don’t need anything.” But let’s face it—another tee-shirt or mug won’t cut it. This Father’s Day (Sunday, June 16), skip the clichés and give him something he’ll truly love: gear, gadgets, and gourmet goodies that fuel his passion for outdoor cooking.
Whether your dad is a backyard beginner or a seasoned pitmaster, our 2025 Father’s Day Gift Guide has you covered. We’ve rounded up the best of the best—from cutting-edge tech like the ChefsTemp ProTemp S1 Smart Grill Gauge to must-have tools like the Oscarware Porcelain Grill Topper, and indulgent flavor boosters like Wagyu Beef Tallow from South Chicago Packing and the Steven Raichlen BBQ Rub 3-Pack. Looking for a serious splurge? Surprise him with a reservation to Barbecue University® 2025 or upgrade his cook space with the new Made In Grill.
This year’s lineup includes something for every budget and every style of griller—whether he’s into slow-smoked brisket, plancha cooking, or just wants to sharpen his knives with the Tormek T-1 Sharpener. So don’t show up empty-handed. Give Dad something he’ll fire up, show off, and thank you for all summer long.

Steven Raichlen’s Project Griddle
Prized for their accessibility and versatility—and because they’re so much fun to use—griddles (also known as planchas and flat-tops) are soaring in popularity. Project Griddle features the trademark Raichlen approach, with plenty of practical cooking techniques and nearly 80 hunger-inducing recipes. It traces the history and geography of griddling, from the teppan of Japan to the plancha of Spain to champa grilling in South America. A gear chapter showcases the various types of stand-up and portable flattops and planchas, plus the requisite accessories, how to season and maintain a griddle, how to oil and cook on it, with chefs’ shortcuts, and some pitfalls to watch out for.
And then there are the recipes—each one as outrageously delicious and foolproof as the last, for classics like the crispiest smash burgers and tapas bar shrimp to an entire suite of heretofore un-grillable foods—egg-and-bacon breakfast feasts, potato latkes, crepes, French toast, and smoky fried rice. It’s Project Smoke for griddles—and don’t think of buying one without its guidance.
