One of the most popular accessories for this season is the branding iron. There are two styles: those with handles that you manually heat up and sear into your meat, and those that are clip-ons. These clip onto your cooking grid and heat up while preheating your grill. When you place your food on the grill, you just set it on top of the brand. We have collegiate logos, NASCAR logos, letters, and you can even special-order up to 3 letters for initials.

The Vidalia Grill is a truly a unique grill with the ability to grill, smoke, bake, and roast without the additions of any accessories.

The great thing about the aluminum body is that it is thicker than stainless, just as durable as stainless, looks very similar to stainless, but does not cost as much!
