Rum & Que Rib Kit

Rum & Que is a local producer of international award-winning rubs and sauces. They are the real deal who are also a BBQ competition team who have competed across New Zealand, Australia and the USA. They developed their rubs and sauces while on the competition circuit. When even the teams Rum & Que are competing against are also using their range of barbecue rubs and sauces, it’s a real no-brainer gift idea.

Spice Hub & Spice Kitchen Gift Packs

These spice grinder and shaker packs are great for cooking on the barbecue or in the kitchen. We’re personally big fans of the peri-peri, cajun and mexican shakers!

Gifts under $110

Rib Rack Bundles

Trust us when we say a single rack of pork ribs is never enough! That’s why we love these rib racks by GMG and Traeger that allow us to cook 7 or 8 racks of ribs at a time!

Gifts under $200

Traeger Multi-Tool and Pellet Hub ‘Grilling in the Name’ Tee

This 4-in-1 multi tool is great for the barbecuer on the go. If you’re purchasing for someone who likes to go camping and barbecuing, then this may be the perfect gift for them.

Glaze your chicken, flip burgers, and even uncork a bottle of wine, all with one handy tool. Do it in style with Pellet Hub’s Grilling in the Name t-shirt!

Gifts under $300

Victory Knives – 5 Knife Set

Victory Knives are a favourite amongst professional chefs and butchers across New Zealand. That’s because they are made from high quality german steel and made right here in New Zealand. As you may already know, quality chef knives can cost up to thousands of dollars, yet Victory Knives are just a fraction of the cost making them incredible value.

Victory Knives have since become the go-to for Kiwi barbecuers. Here, we’ve put together a 5-knife set for the serious barbecuer which includes a brisket knife and boning knife.

Bigger Gift Ideas

Ooni Pizza Oven

If you’re looking for a bigger gift idea but you’re not looking to add another barbecue to their arsenal, then we suggest an outdoor pizza oven to complement their BBQ grill!

These Ooni ovens are perfect for authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizza. We also have gas-powered Ooni’s too if you’re after something hassle-free.

We reckon the Ooni Fyra, in particular, is a great gift for a pellet grill owner because the Fyra uses the same wood pellets!

Looking to purchase a pellet grill?

Not all pellet grills are created equal and we just don’t have the space here to give you the ins-and-outs of the best grill for the pitmaster in your life.

We recommend checking out our dedicated Pellet Grill Comparison Guide. We have put together the most in-depth comparison guide on the Internet – no joke! We stand behind all the pellet grills for sale here at Pellet Hub but our guide will help to find the right grill with the features you need for your budget.
