BBQ Apron suggestions anyone

jdMyers

does anyone use any particular type of apron when they grill.  Leather, canvas, etc?    Been looking for a good apron.  Any suggestions or photos of the one you may use and what you like about it.  Towel holder, etc..

I should have one...but...the only time I would remember that I have it is when I splatter bacon grease on my shirt... again....

I have souvenir aprons from the Carnivore restaurants in Kenya and South Africa that I occasionally use, but I can't speak to their functionality compared to other aprons.

This post reminded me to break mine out for a little gig I've got this weekend.  Hopefully, a good thread will appear about it.  Thanks.

I think I have that first one above. Bought it because of the cross straps, vs. the more common loop around the neck design, which I find uncomfortable. 

Its easy to wash and does what an apron is supposed to.

Does Yeti make an apron?

If they did, they would charge you $250 for it.

I'm a fan of the Hudson waxed canvas cross back apron. Plenty of pockets and a towel loop

An apron is just a Cape worn backwards.

Have at it Superheroes.

Mine has a glove (oven mitt) and a bottle opener attached. Very useful.

Duluth makes a real nice 1.

I use one very similar to the one on top. Especially when starting the egg, to many times getting charcoal smudges on my pants.  Also, I start the egg with bacon greased paper towels and it is nice to have somewhere to wipe hands.

I'm in the chefs jacket camp, easy on off as I don't put it on unless transferring or prepping .....

I use this more for cooking on the Blackstone, but also use for prepping  butts on BGE.

I have a denim Hudson apron that I use more when working on my bikes than cooking. I’ve ruined some clothes with tire sealant and the pockets are handy to keep tools in. When we are hosting at our house I’ll throw the apron on if I change into nicer clothes and still need to handle food off the egg.

stole this apron after an OKC Iron Egg team I was on (forget which year), found out later that team capt brought these on her own (Dow), felt bad, sent her an BGE related T-Shirt

I have one from Thermoworks that I never wear. Does that count?

Any of us who have known you all these years know what a terrific guy you are! I bet  DOW forgave you umpteen times over!

What's the deal with the purple cat esophagus diagram?   I hate that for some irrational reason I can't put my finger on...

I wear an apron all the time when I cook. My only suggestions would be be make sure it has big enough to pockets hold a beer. Make sure you take the thermopen out before you throw it in the washing machine. I probably have at least a half a dozen that I cycle through.

When I worked in a restaurant many, many moons ago, we had aprons where the string was long enough to wrap back to the front to be tied there.  That was nice.

Do not see many of those now, or maybe now the distance back to the front is too far after all these years

Looks like his fly is open

Timely thread.  While lighting my egg the other day, a hot spark burned a hole in my shirt.  I have a couple of aprons that hang around the neck, but I don’t like them.  So I ordered a canvas apron from Duluth Trading that crosses the back.  I hope it’s comfortable so that it gets used instead of ignored.

I have 2 that I never wear
