•Tongs. An essential tool for flipping burgers, steaks and sausages. They’re also useful for
handling cobs of corn or those pesky foil-wrapped potatoes.
•Spatula. A wide and long-bladed spatula can make all the difference when cooking thin fillets or
patties. A good spatula can easily get underneath the food so you can flip it without any mishaps.
•Skewers. Shish kabob anyone? Most skewers are made of metal or disposable bamboo. Some
metal skewers are thin and blade-like, which is helpful to get the food on, but can make turning the
food on the grill an exercise in futility. Thicker skewers may be trickier to load the food onto, but
once it’s on it should be easier to manipulate on the grill.
•Brushes. Some of the best barbecue grilling recipes involve basting the meat in sauce just prior
to pulling it off the grill. Using a brush is the best way to apply a pleasing, even coat of your favorite
sauce to the meat. These brushes don’t tend to last too long, so it’s a good idea to have more than
one, especially since some flavors will remain trapped in the brush no matter how thoroughly you
wash it.
•Grilling Basket. A grilling basket is a great way to cook loose vegetables without having them
fall into your grill and may also be used for cooking fish and burgers. They are made from non-
stick materials and some feature wooden handles for added convenience.
•Grilling Planks. These became popular in the late ’90s and impart subtle scents and flavors
based on the wood chosen. They’re often used to cook salmon and are also great for cooking
delicate meats that fall apart if placed directly onto the grill. You need to soak the planks for a few
hours in advance and slightly oil the food side of the plank so the food doesn’t stick.
•Meat Thermometer. This little device will take the guesswork out of your cooking and save you
from cutting open the meat to make sure it’s ready. Why overcook or risk a trip to the hospital?
You can look up the minimal internal cooking temperature of foods online (for example, a medium
rare steak should be 145 F) and use a meat thermometer to ensure that your foods are cooked to
perfection.

Essential Tailgating Grilling
Accessories
Getting great results on the grill at the tailgate usually boils down to the quality of the food, grill and
cook, but having the right grilling or barbecue accessories can also go a long way. Here are some
essentials that no griller should be without:

Eight Steps to a Great Tailgate
One of the attractions at sporting events is the tailgating that happens before event.
Tailgating is a huge outdoor party and barbecue. While fun and games are great, there are
unwritten rules to tailgating. Following these rules greatly enhances the tailgating
experience.
Things You’ll Need: Food, Adult Beverages, Trash Bags & Donation Box
**********************************************************
STEP 1
Call the specific venue for each event. Each event has their own rules regarding tailgating.
STEP 2
Get there early and stay late. If a fan is not out tailgating early, they can find themselves
stuck in traffic or worse finding no place to park. Staying late helps as well, rather than
getting stuck in traffic leaving the venue, fans can be celebrating the big victory or
bemoaning a close loss.
STEP 3
Locate camping spots near the venue. This makes the commute to the tailgate much easier
and can add to the overall tailgating experience.
STEP 4
Make sure that there are plenty of supplies. Make a checklist and have friends look over the
checklist for omissions or mistakes. It is a real pain to run out of beer or food during the
middle of a tailgate.
STEP 5
Bring a jar for donations. If hosting the tailgate, be certain that patrons that did not chip in for
food or beer have an unobtrusive way to give back to the host. Donation jars are far better
than having to ask a person to chip in. People are very generous for the most part and will
give according to what they consume.
STEP 6
Beware of freeloaders. These people refuse to donate to a tailgate but will eat everything
that is not nailed down. Now while the purpose of a tailgate is not profit, freeloaders can be a
drain. Ask the person very politely if they could chip in for the food and drink. Do not let a
few bad apples ruin the experience. If they will not pay just let it go. A few dollars is not worth
ruining the tailgate with a confrontation.

ruining the tailgate with a confrontation.
STEP 7
Always keep a trashcan available and make sure everyone know where it is. Having people
put their own trash away as the day goes on makes the post tailgate clean-up much easier.
STEP 8
Keep any valuable under lock and key. Put any valuables in the cab of a truck and keep it
locked. If a safe place is not available, leave as much as possible in the hotel or back at
home.

Sports-o-Rama Tailgate
Party
Sure, football is the focus. But let everyone express his or her inner athlete, no matter
what the sport!
•Food Think concession-stand cuisine. Set up a simple buffet-style station with
burgers, hot dogs, wings, pretzels and nachos. Or if you have some basic culinary
skills, let guests build their own “football sundaes” by piling condiments onto steamy
bowls of chili (recipe below).
Killer Chili
This five-alarm chili requires just five ingredients but serves 10 people.
2 1/2 pounds ground beef
3 packets taco seasoning
16-ounce can beef broth
In a large stew pot, break up ground beef with a spoon and brown it over medium heat
until cooked through. Drain grease from pot and stir in taco seasoning to coat meat.
Add remaining ingredients (no need to drain beans) and simmer on low for about an
hour, stirring every 15 minutes or so. Serve with any of the following toppings you
happen to have on hand: shredded cheddar, tortilla chips, diced onion, salsa, black
olives, sliced jalapenos, sour cream, hot sauce, crushed red pepper, fresh cilantro.
•Fun Put out a bunch o’ balls and let your guests play around: basketballs, soccer
balls, volleyballs, footballs, baseballs, Nerf balls, golf balls, whiffle balls, beach balls,
rubber balls, medicine balls. (While you’re at it, be sure to put away any breakables.)
And, hey, since you’re rooting for your team, maybe get some balls for a little root beer
pong!
•Dress code Tell guests to dress in any sports attire, including their own team uniforms.
Got basketball shorts? Put those on with a white tank and be a hoops star. Or go all
out as a roller derby girl or … hey, surfer dude, wear your wet suit. Whatever your
sport of choice, just flex your athletic side!

Tailgating Tech Essential technology for your next tailgating event
Tailgating before a game or concert is a serious affair, one that can easily outshine the event itself. Whether you're tailgating before an event or tailgating is the event, you've got to come
prepared. There's certainly no shortage of tailgating accessories: decorations, invitations, team flags, comfy seats, canopies, hitch-mount grills, and even specialty trailers that open up to a full
bar. But before you go splurging on items like a motorized ride-on cooler, be sure you have the electronics covered. Here are five tips for making your tailgating party come alive:
Make Some Noise: Music is an essential part of any party, even if that party is on a crowded blacktop. Satellite radio is perfect for both party tunes and coverage of the game. You can add
satellite radio to your vehicle using a portable receiver or built into a new aftermarket car stereo. If you really want to bring the noise, an aftermarket audio system installed in your vehicle will let
you play DJ for the fans around you and several rows away. A multimedia receiver, high-power amplifiers and separate speakers and subwoofer enclosure will keep you rockin' on the way to the
game and all the way through it.
Stay Tuned: Whether you're tailgating before heading into the stadium, or watching the game from Lot A, you'll definitely want to catch the coverage on TV. Rear seat entertainment systems are
perfect for tailgating, as well as keeping your passengers entertained during the off season. Professional installers can mount video monitors just about anywhere, like the rear seat headrests,
hatch or tailgate of your vehicle. So you have a screen, but what about a signal? A mobile satellite dish, like those from KVH Industries, permanently mounts to the roof of your vehicle to allow you
to receive satellite TV programming wherever you go (even as you drive) with no hassle. You could also connect your car's video monitors to a portable in-car HDTV tuner, like those from SAVV
Mobile Multimedia, to intercept the free HDTV broadcasts from your local stations.
Create Your Own Press Box: When you and your friends are tailgating, you want to be connected to the action. A 3G mobile broadband card for your laptop will let you get scores, keep up with
fantasy leagues and check your spot in the office pool. If you're tailgating with multiple techies, you'll definitely want a mobile hotspot, like Novatel's MiFi mobile broadband router, available from
both Sprint and Verizon Wireless. Powered by a built-in rechargeable battery pack or a car adapter, it serves as a mobile hotspot for up to five WiFi-enabled devices simultaneously. That means
that smartphones, MP3 players, laptops and other WiFi devices can connect and share a single high-speed broadband connection, even in the stadium lot.
Make a Power Play: Without power, many of your tailgating electronics won't work. Your car's 12-Volt accessory outlet can power most portable electronics, but what if you need household-style
AC plugs? A DC-to-AC power inverter plugs into your car's 12-Volt outlet and in return gives you an AC plug for powering a TV or other electronics. If you are powering multiple devices, consider
a stand alone power source like Duracell's Powerpack. Unlike loud generators, the Powerpack uses a high-capacity internal battery to silently supply several outlets up to 600 Watts of AC power.
It can also be used to jump-start your vehicle should your gear drain the battery.
Play a Strong Defense: A vehicle security system keeps your vehicle and its contents safe. Since the "security" systems that come from the factory on most cars are little more than a keyless
entry feature, a professionally installed security system is a must. Aftermarket security can help to keep all those tailgating electronics (and even your gas-powered ride-on cooler) safe and
secure while you're inside enjoying the event. Look for a system that includes door sensors, glass breakage sensors, motion and proximity sensors, ignition kill and remote paging that will call you
if the alarm is activated. A professional installer can also customize the system for your specific vehicle, such as securing a covered pick-up truck bed, camper or tailgating trailer.
Let's get ready to rumble! Before your next tailgating event, make sure you have the essential electronics to keep your parking-lot party going before, during and after the big event. Visit your
local automotive electronics dealer.
