Grilling Tool: The BBQ Sword
The BBQ Sword looks like it would make a good gag gift for the griller in your life who has everything flame-related already.
It's kind of a great sight gag, though the little Boy Wonder/Zorro-esque mask it comes with is a bit goofy. £14.95, from Firebox.com's UK site [via Boing Boing Gadgets]

Maybe not a gag.
Actually, this could have some utilitarian benefit. At our family Fourth of July picnics, my responsibility is "shooting the soluna" - a middle European (we're Hungarian) version of fatback that is held over a wood fire until dripping, then allowing it to drip it on some good rye bread, upon which one might add some sliced tomatoes, onions, cukes, and peppers.
Here's an old blog post about the process, with pictures.
A guard like that on the BBQ sword could help block the heat and reduce the "sunburn" my hand gets after 30-40 minutes of sitting in front of the fire (moving around to try to stay upwind of the smoke) melting that pork fat goodness.

I was discussing making soluna(?) with my husband. Where do you get the fatback? It was a special treat when my grandparents would make it. I can still remember the taste. We'd fight for the burnt fat. Delicious
