It’s time to give Dads the respect that they deserve. They work hard. They play hard. And, on the eve of Father’s Day, it’s time to show your appreciation to your dad and do so by coming up with something better than a handmade ashtray or another silk-feeling tie. A pair of socks or a belt won't do either.
With that said, I get it. It can be tough to get just the right thing because dads have such varying tastes, but there are certain gifts that nearly all dads will go for. Below you’ll find a wide assortment of great suggestions for the belated gift-giver or gift-exchanger, to make this year’s Father’s Day the best one yet—and isn’t that exactly what your dad deserves?
I think so, too! Enjoy.
Bradley Smart Smoker Digital Smoker With Ismoke
Help dad reach the next level in his cooking with the Bradley Smart Smoker Digital Smoker with Ismoke. It has room for 10 racks of food and has Bluetooth technology so it can be controlled from anywhere. Smoking can take a while so this will help dad keep in tune with the smoker while doing his other dadly activities. It has two removable temperature probes to help keep the cooking on track and the fully insulated stainless steel interior makes for an easy clean up and long-lasting material.
David S said that it was, “easy and had everything I was looking for.” So, give your dad the best smoker and you’ll reap the benefits of delicious meals. It's truly a win-win scenario!
Kamado Joe Classic 18-Inch Stand-Alone Ceramic Grill

With a Kontrol Tower top vent, rain can’t enter but there’s consistent airflow and it has split heat deflectors for direct or indirect cooking.

It even has Bluetooth capability so he can keep track of his movement with things like Fitbit.
DPab623 said, “it is so discreet, most people don’t even know I’m using it.” In other words, your dad can use it anywhere without making noise or taking up too much space. That means he can be burning off calories while hanging out with his buddies watching the game!

The NIFTY charger has what's said to be the most powerful chipset on a charger ever and gives more than four individual fast charging technologies. At 24 watts, charging goes twice as fast and it works with all typical devices whether they are Apple or Android.
T. Rafferty said it doesn’t “get hot when charging devices” and the “included cables are rugged and don’t feel cheap at all.” In other words, your dad will feel like you got him only the very best in portable chargers.
Grillbot Black 7.4-Volt Lithium Ion (Li-ion) Battery Automatic Grill Cleaner

It’ll clean and scrub the grate for him so he doesn’t have to do a thing. With three runtime settings, he can pick whichever matches how big of a mess he made and it works on hot or cold grills up to 250 degrees.

Crosley Messenger Turntable
For the cool, vintage, music-loving dad, the Crosley Messenger Turntable is the perfect gift. Give him a throwback to the days of spinning records without breaking the bank. The reality is that vinyl has a distinct sound that just can’t be reproduced with all the .mp3 compressions going around these days. Listening to vinyl records has made a comeback, but your dad will love it for more than that. This turntable plays three speeds as well as 7”, 10” and 12” records. It has a diamond stylus needle, manual return tone arm, dynamic full range speaker, auxiliary input, headphone jack and is battery operated.

With a comfortable buckle waistband, he won’t have trouble keeping it on and can waltz around the barbecue with everything he needs.
And, arguably the best part is that he can use it year round. In fact, one reviewer said “I get tons of compliments on it while skiing” so your dad can use it to impress people in the backyard or on the mountains.
