I NEED SOME HELP FROM MY BROTHERS
I can't seem to find the set that is too heavy for a woman to use, and has a good case (or not) to keep them in. I just want the best, not some wal-mart special. Not sure why I cannot find it on my own, but I know I have a good support group here.
So, what do y'all use? What is the go to set? Let me have it, I need some help.
Thank you in advance.

What part of Michigan are you in? There is a great Chef's supply in Windsor ON right across from Detroit. It's called Williams chef supply and you can get any tool you would find in a restaurant. If you go there be sure to keep your receipts and you can collect the tax back on your way out.

I will recommend making a trip to the nearest Williams Sonoma or Sur La Table store. Very high class and quality stuff that you will never break. You can order them online as well.

I got the Williams Sonoma set as a wedding present and they are high quality. They come with a pretty nice case too. You get the spatula, tongs, meat fork and basking brush.My wife has a hard time picking them up.)------------------------------------------------------------------------LBGE 2013 - MiniMax 2015 - Seemingly every accessory the fine folks at CGS sell - Fightin' Texas Aggie till I die - Gig 'Em - Located in the bright lights of Dallas

+1 Williams Sonoma. I've been using theirs for the last 6 or 7 years. If you can, forgo the stupid box; it will eventually fall apart.I also wouldn't pay up for the grill scraper, or if you do .. buy a whole bunch of the extra pads now.

I'm also a big fan of the insulated rubber gloves.

I've always understood that Lamson makes good stuff. Made in USA too. I've never seen it in person though. And you will probably have to order it... as opposed to NOW.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I buy professional chef stuff - not pretty, but heavy duty and it works. Sam's club, Costco carry it.

You gotta put up with the ugly white polypropylene handle, but restaurant equipment is the way to go....

You should check Williams out. They are on a backstreet right off Hwy 3 that the bridge puts you out on. I believe you turn at a Holiday Inn on the right hand side about 4 or 5 lights from the bridge.

You may want to figure out what you would really use and buy those pieces-kinda like knives-I use heavy duty tongs and a spatula-beyond that I must be a Neanderthal as I don't find any use for the remainder of what constitutes a set. And case,,,they are not guitarsLouisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I usually find these or similar at local gun or craft shows, forged from old railroad spikes. They can generally make anything you can think of, within reason, even if not seen here. http://shop.ponderosaforge.com/Gift-Items_c13.htm

Actually, I don't know if this particular maker uses railroad spikes...just a quick Google search..

What do you use the most? My main tool is a set of tongs. Bought from Target 7 years ago for $10 - pretty heavy duty, with nice looking wood handles. I don't put them in the dishwasher, so the handles still look great. For me, a good set of tongs must not flex at the ends (part that grabs the food) when squeezed closed, so that the food won't slip out. I have a second set which I bought at Restaurant Depot 3 years ago, and like them because they are long. To clean the grid, I use a Weber cleaning thingy that looks like a triangle at the end of it. I keep all of my bbq gizmos and tools in a larger toolbox dedicated for those items (maverick, thermo, batteries, frogmat, gloves, etc).#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I would not buy a set. Several items I just will not use. WS is good and so is a chef store.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

I use a long spatula and a good set of tongs. Never use the fork or anything else from a set. A set of Bear Claws, meant for pulling pork, are great for lifting roasts off the Egg.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

I know I suggested WS and SLT.
Having said that, for a real bargain check Academy sports and their BBQ section certainly merrits a vist. They have heavy duty tongs, both long and short, at an extremely good price. Personally, I do not use any other BBQ tools like the forks or heavy metal spatulas. The rest of your tools, you will pick up along the way. But WS is surely a place you will want to walk around in for some really fine tools to cook with.

I don't Canada so well either neighbor (St. Clair Shores here).
There's a Williams and Sonoma in Somerset Mall or you can head straight west and visit the one in Rochester Village.
There's a Restaurant Depot near I75 and Maple (15 mile) as well.

I have never bought a "set". My tools are picked up via serendipity. Leg rack from Ace Hardware, wok tools from the camping section at Walmart, roast forks from Williams Sonoma (and lots of other cool stuff). Relax, and keep your eyes open.
