We asked our experts to make a list of the 10 best charcoal accessories, and the debate was hotly contested. But, finally, we settled on the charcoal grill accessories you see before you, explained in detail by Grill Master Randy. We start with lump charcoal, which may not seem like a charcoal accessory but warrants some attention for its superiority to charcoal briquettes. With that out of the way, Randy dives into some truly must-have accessories for charcoal grills: a charcoal ash tool, a chimney starter, an electric starter, BBQ thermometers, and pizza stones. If the idea of pizza on the grill gets you fired up, wait until you hear about the versatility of grill racks and toppers. Randy wraps up our top charcoal accessories list by highlighting grill lights (nighttime barbecues!), grilling tools (you can’t go without the basics!), and grill brushes (cleanup may not be fun, but it is important!). Which of these charcoal accessories is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below!

He also had a 3-year run preparing almost-too-pretty-to-eat meals for Whole Foods.
