Top 5 Must-Have Tools to Entertain Outdoors

When it comes to pleasing the crowd, I consider myself to be an entertainer, I mean, after all, I am a Gemini. To me, being a Gemini means that entertaining kind of runs in my astrological genes. I am not lucky enough at this time to live in a climate where the weather is warm year round but I at least get a few months out of the year, particularly during the Summer Season to really enjoy my time outdoors and spend more time with friends and family that are visiting from out of town. This is my list of top 5 must have outdoor entertainment tools that every host should have.

You must have a good grill and one that is large enough to cook a lot of food at the same time. Ok, so my husband and I compete when it comes to grilling. In fact, we have three grills, yes three! We have a Kingsford 30″ Barrel Grill, an Expert Grill 4-Burner Gas Grill, and a Meco Electric Grill. I love my Meco Electric Grill. This electric grill really comes in handy when I’ve returned home from work late and want the taste of grilled food without the wait. I originally bought it when we lived in a small apartment that didn’t allow for gas or charcoal grill. The Meco Electric Grill came in handy when we needed a patio grill. Our favorite grill to use by far is the Charcoal grill because it allows us to double duty it as a smoker. Yes, it takes longer to get going but we just turn it into an event. We get the music going, the outdoor lighting right, grab a beer and wait. We could use our gas or electric grill as a smoker too it just takes a little work to convert it.
Did I mention that I was a Gemini? I like to show off, so the 2^nd must have are the Grilling accessories. A great accessory to have is something for easy access to beverages and food. I found these great colleges themed ice tubs that are perfect for holding ice cold beverages.

You also must have cooking utensils and serve dishes. If you really want to fancy it up, check out our personalized grilling bbq set.

Depending on the weather you must have fire pits or patio heaters. You can find Warm and Stylish Patio Heaters for your Home from StarFireDirect.com
Finally, keep yourself looking fresh. No one wants to be served by a filthy looking cook. Wear gloves and protect your clothes from splatter so that you still look good when all of the work is done. A greatly personalized apron to cover your outfit and hold your personalized cooking utensils is a must have.
