As any grill master will tell you, the barbecue sauce goes on at the end of cooking-just long enough to sizzle and lacquer it onto the meat. The Charcoal Companion & Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Cast Iron Sauce Pot & Basting Brush are sturdy enough to warm the sauce on the fire, with an angled brush for basting (made of silicone so it’s easy to clean). The heavy saucepan doubles as a meat pounder: use the diamond-ridged bottom for flattening and tenderizing chops and filets.
