The barbecue season is an exciting time for those of us that love to get our hands dirty with a little sauce.
Experimenting with all the different kinds of recipes can be an adventure all on its own but if you are looking to take your barbecue skills to the next level, it might be good to start with finding a barbeque that suits your lifestyle.
When most of us think of campfire food, we think hot dogs, hamburgers, s’mores - all the basics. But what if your camping experience meant more than just awkwardly cooking your food on a stick, or in a steel holder of some sort over a fire?
If you’re an avid camper, consider a portable barbecue as an upgrade to your camping experience.
This grill is the perfect size, weight and price to be your next camping necessity.
