Sometimes we get a chance to cover a few categories in one hit and this time is no exception because we have food, fun, tech and drink, but these gadgets all have one thing in common and that is they are still useful. Therefore, in this Top Five, we are looking at food and drink, but it turns out that these gadgets have so much more to offer than just a practical use, check them out and see for yourself.
The floating BBQ is cool
Who would have thought that a floating grill would be so cool, but this is the Floating Flamer and it really does turn the world of cooking upside down in so many ways. Where do we start? Well first of all there are two versions, one open top, while the other has a cover for that extra smoked flavour and we have to suppose protection from large waves or birds. These are almost ready to be shipped, so we have not details on availability yet, but we cannot wait.
These are the details on the Floating Flamer BBQ;
What’s better than your toes in the sand, swimsuits, sun, and a cold drink in your hand? Well, a floating grill of course! Now you do not have to leave any of that behind to fill your sexy bronzed bellies! The world already had the first four things but lacked the last one. Until one glorious night sitting outside after a few drinks and some great ideas the charcoal smoke cleared and idea of the Floating Flamer was born.
There are no prices for this yet, which is a shame.
