Yeah a lot of neat toys. I'd use all except the heat shield tools and picnic pak.
Thanks Pappy!

Great ideas, I can just see the party with those silicone wine glasses after a few too many.  :P

I don't think I'd break those out UNTIL people had a few too many-- offer refills and bring them back in the squishy glasses.  Hehehehe

That heat shield BBQ tool is clever... I, however, lack the willpower to not wave it about repeating "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die." every single time I flipped a steak.

Now THAT would be funny.  I think I'll order a set just for the entertainment factor.  ;)

There robots to clean our houses so why not a robot to clean our grill?  Sure why not??

Really, have we become that dang lazy as not to put a wire brush to a set of grates??

I am about as patriotic as you can get, but $75 for and American Flag Spatula?  I think not.  I thought maybe I missed something and that it was gold plated.

I'm with you on this one.  Personally I feel that a gadget like that is showing disrespect for Old Glory, by using it to flip burgers.  I'll raise my flag on a pole next to my grill as an American Patriot.   ;)

Totally agree with both of you on this one! Very disrespectful as far as I am concerned. Out of that list I already have the hamburger press thingy
and the marinade infusing meat tenderizer. Not very impressed with the meat tenderizer.

I should be ashamed of myself but I could not resist. I have the smore maker set somewhere in the garage. Picked it up for the wife and do not ever remember her using it.

I bought a Himalayan salt block about the time that my wife had her knee replaced back at the end of January.  With all the things that have transpired with her since, it is still sitting in the same place on the counter, waiting to be used.  One of these days.  That's what I keep telling myself.
