Abstract: A barbecue tool trivet discloses a unitary structure, said unitary structure having a bottom section, a side section, and a top section. The top section contains three pocket recesses. Each of the recesses contains three pocket recesses, one next to the other, with the middle pocket recess being larger than either of the side pockets. There is at least one cut out in a rim that goes around the circumference of the trivet, and two tall side walls in one of the pocket recesses. In one embodiment, the middle recess is at least twice as large as either of the side pocket recesses.
