The insulated bag keeps meat warm while the juices settle, which is the whole point of resting and the bit that usually goes wrong when it's left on a bench going cold.
You're giving the answer to the most common barbecue complaint there is, which is beautifully cooked meat arriving at the table lukewarm.
The heat-resistant glove means they can handle a hot brisket or a full roast without a tea towel and a lot of swearing, which is the usual method.
The tongs round it out into a proper kit rather than a single item, so it has some presence when it's unwrapped rather than looking like one accessory.
It works for brisket, roasts, steaks and anything that needs twenty minutes before slicing, which is most things worth cooking slowly in the first place.
You'll find it useful well beyond barbecue night too. The insulated bag keeps a roast warm while the vegetables finish, which solves the standard Sunday problem of everything being ready at four different times.
It suits backyard barbecuers, anyone with a smoker, and the person at every family gathering who has strong opinions about how long a roast should sit.
You're buying something used straight away, because anyone who takes barbecue seriously enough to receive this has something planned for the next weekend.
It's a particularly good gift for someone who already owns all the obvious barbecue gear. Tongs, thermometers and rubs are well covered in most households, and a resting kit is one of the few genuinely useful things left.
