This handheld wand can ignite charcoal in 60 seconds without using any chemicals. It\u2019s difficult to light charcoal with matches and this is a great alternative to environmentally detrimental lighter fluid. The Looflighter does need to be plugged into an outlet, but it\u2019s equipped with a nine-foot extension cord. It\u2019s simple to use and even comes with a bottle opener.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/refuel-300x200.jpg\")
If you\u2019re using propane, nothing stops the party quicker than realizing you\u2019re out of gas. If you\u2019d prefer to avoid this situation, there\u2019s a new device called Refuel. It\u2019s basically an intelligent, app-enabled propane tank scale that allows you to keeps tabs on how much gas you have left in your tank. When you\u2019re running low, you\u2019ll get a smartphone alert, so you\u2019ll know well in advance that you need more gas.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/igrill2-300x300.jpg\")
One of the more difficult parts of grilling is knowing when the meat is done. You get the best result when you\u2019re measuring the meat for temperature, but this keeps you locked to the grill and unable to relax and enjoy the social aspects of the party. The iGrill 2 is a smart thermometer which uses wired probes to measure the temperature of your meat while it’s cooking. It connects to an app on iOS which will let you know when the desired temperature has been reached. This way you can enjoy the party and monitor your meat mobily.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lynx-smart-grill-300x234.jpg\")
If you\u2019re looking to shell out some big money on a new high-end grill, the SmartGrill by Lynx is the latest in grill technology. Just like we can talk to our phones, computers and cars–we now have the capability of using voice commands on our grill. This grill has several top-of-the-line features including Wi-Fi capability, remote monitoring, app-based ignition\/control and on-device alerts to flip or remove meat. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Jokari-300x178.jpg\")
Grilling requires a lot of different tools and big grilling kits can be expensive. In the past, we\u2019ve seen multi-function tools like a pocket knife with several retractable functions. Jokari took that idea and created a tool just like this, but for grilling. It has retractable tongs, a spatula, a knife edge, a bottle opener, a scraper slot, and an LED flashlight to make grilling at night much easier.<\/span><\/p>\n
