Aprons are great. They keep the spills and splashes of the kitchen at bay, while giving you handy pockets to stash tools and supplies in. While your kitchen apron can work just as well when firing up the grill in the backyard, dealing with an open fire does make it just a tad more hazardous than usual. If you’re going to do a lot of work at the grill, you’ll want something like the BlueCut Pitmaster Apron.
Designed for professional pitmasters and amateur grillers who like to imagine themselves as pros, the apron is designed to protect beyond the spills and splashes of traditional cooking, coming equipped to withstand the hottest grilling conditions. That’s right, you can expose yourself to the open fire of the grill without risking your apron catching flames, allowing you to act like a veritable daredevil at the next backyard barbecue.
The BlueCut Pitmaster Apron is made from rugged denim with a NOMEX orange thread detail, both of which are finished with flame-resistant treatment to ensure they never catch flames even when the apron comes in direct contact with the fire. While the flame resistance should keep the apron from going ablaze, it’s still going to be hot when you get too close to the fire. That’s why the apron comes with built-in insulation to keep the heat outside the apron, as well as a quilted double layer patch on the belly for an added layer of heat protection.
It has a wide profile for maximum coverage out front, as well as crossback-style orange cotton straps for a comfortable fit. A pocket on the top chest area and one at the hip allow you to stash tools and supplies, while a loop on the side makes for a great place to keep a towel. Other features include copper hardware, leather accents, and a 40-inch waist strap.
The BlueCut Pitmaster Apron is available now, priced at $175.
