8 Amazon Cookout Accessories To Perfect Your Memorial Day BBQ

Rechargeable Table Lamps

The right lighting can make or break the ambiance of a party, so for your summer get-togethers, you need to get some rechargeable table lamps. This two-pack on Amazon, starting at just $23.99, is cordless, waterproof, and offered in black or gold.

You can easily charge up each lamp and have it last for 12 to 42 hours, making it the perfect addition to your dinnertime tablescape. Plus, these lamps feature different light temperatures, such as warm white, neutral, and white light, as well as dimming options, allowing you to set the mood that you prefer.

Mesh Food Covers

Is there anything more annoying than putting together a gorgeous lunch or dinner spread, only to have flies or other insects constantly circling the food you worked so hard on?

These mesh food covers on Amazon offer a simple solution. Sold in a pack of three for only $7.64, each mesh cover is 14 inches by 14 inches and basically acts like a little tent for your food. So, as you put out different dishes on Memorial Day and beyond, all you have to do is plop one of the covers on top to protect your food against flies and other pests.

Fly Table Fans

Another smart way to fight back against flies is with fly fans. Whether you're planning to barbecue in your backyard or picnic at the beach, these lightweight and portable devices are battery-powered, feature soft blades that are safe for both kids and pets, and deter flies by refracting light as they spin.

For $26.99, you can buy a pack of four on Amazon and say goodbye to unwanted flies. Simply set the fans on your barbecue, dinner table, picnic table, or even hang them upside down above your spread with the help of the fans' trusty hook feature.

Glass Drink Dispenser

Even if you tell your guests that Memorial Day is BYOB, you can still offer a signature drink. In my opinion, it's one of the easiest ways to pull a party together. You can go classic with a sangria, spritz, margarita, or really anything your heart desires.

And with this glass drink dispenser, priced at $56.99, serving your signature cocktail will be a breeze. Not only does it hold 1.8 gallons of cold or hot liquid, but it also comes with a beautiful beech wood stand. So, prep your cocktail of choice the day before Memorial Day, and when it comes time to celebrate, all you'll have to do is add ice and put out cups.

Instant-Read Meat Thermometer

When you're cooking for yourself or even your immediate family, it's much easier to "wing it" on the grill. But, when there are other guests involved, you probably don't want to run the risk of overcooking someone's hamburger or steak that's supposed to be medium rare.

This is precisely why you need to get your hands on an instant-read meat thermometer before Memorial Day, because, for just $16.98, you'll be able to grill without any worries. Simply stick the thermometer into whatever you're cooking, including fish, pork, chicken, or beef, and you'll know whether it's done or needs a bit more time.

Red, White, and Blue Torch Table Set

Since we've already tackled flies, it's time to move on to mosquitoes. With this red, white, and blue torch table set, you can prevent itchy bites in style.

Each torch is six inches tall, made of glass, and has a burn time of five hours per fill of citronella oil. Not to mention, since they're red, white, and blue, this set makes the perfect centerpiece for a Memorial Day celebration. You can purchase it on Amazon for $25.41.

Three-Tier Collapsible Serving Bowl

You probably won't have any shortage of food during your cookout, but you might be limited in table space. That's where the three-tier collapsible serving bowl comes into play.

It features three bowls of different sizes (11 inches, 9 inches, and 7 inches in diameter) that stack on top of one another to save room without sacrificing any snacks. You can choose to fill them with chips, fruit, charcuterie, or other grab-and-go appetizers.

Then, when you're finished hosting, you won't have to fret about storage. The plastic bowls actually twist down and nest into each other, so you can put them in your cabinet like any other piece of dishware.

Patriotic Plates, Cups, and Napkins

Finally, what's a Memorial Day cookout without some patriotic party supplies? With these American flag plates, cups, and napkins, you'll be totally on theme. Plus, you won't have to worry about washing dishes or glasses after a long day of celebrating.

The set includes 25 dinner paper plates, 25 dessert paper plates, 50 napkins in stars and stripes designs, and 25 paper cups. You can snag it on Amazon today for $23.98.
