Brahma Grill Cart from Bull Outdoor Products

Whether it’s moving a grill from storage out to the patio or to the other side of the backyard to cook in some shade, “moveable” barbecue grills provide convenience and flexibility. When a customer is thinking of purchasing a grill on a cart, you should ask them what type of surfaces they will be rolling the grill over, since this might be a factor in choosing between different models. Will the wheels be sturdy enough to go over rough surfaces, such as grass, pavers, or a deck? Below are a couple of portable products that would please many grill masters.

The Brahma, from Bull Outdoor Products, is a six-burner grill that can be purchased with a stainless-steel cart (and it is also available as a drop-in head). Offering a total of 90,000 Btu, lights, a rotisserie, a back burner, heavy-duty casters, and a towel rack, this grill is fully equipped and ready to roll. Each valve has its own piezo igniter and, as is always the case, the Brahma warranty is as strong as the grill: lifetime on the firebox and grates, and 20 years (full replacement) on the cast–stainless-steel burners.

New ProFire Solo Cart from Modern Home Products

The  new  ProFire Solo Cart, from Modern Home Products, is designed to fit most kamado-style grills, including the new ProFire Bravo Kamadostyle charcoal grill. Built with a patent-pending, front-load design for easy kamado grill installation, it also incorporates top-of-the-line features, including stainless steel side shelves with utensil holders, access door for convenient additional storage, locking swivel casters for maneuverability, and an integrated bottle opener.

Entertaining and music go hand in hand. Whether it’s relaxing Brazilian Bossa nova for summertime grilling or some hard rock tunes during tailgating, music adds to the atmosphere of any event or party.

Soundcast Systems, a San Diego-based developer and manufacturer of wireless music systems, offers products that your customers will love—whether they’re at the beach or on a staycation. Its newest product is the Melody, a compact Bluetooth wireless speaker with a fun, modern design. Weighing only 9 pounds, this weather-and sun-resistant speaker can be used in the backyard or the beach.

The Melody offers phenomenal sound quality in open spaces, unlike many speakers that can’t make an impact outdoors. The acoustic design involves multiple speakers and woofers, radiating sound equally and in an omni-directional manner so that everyone can enjoy the music.

“The Soundcast team achieved a new benchmark in design sophistication and elegance on par with our legendary wireless audio performance,” says Soundcast President, Mike Weaver, “Melody is certain to be a game changer for our brand.”

Because of the wireless Bluetooth technology, the Melody is compatible with many smartphones and tablets out on the market. The Melody comes with an A/C adapter, 12-volt automotive adapter and USB charging cable, making it easy to charge at home or out on the go.

With the Melody, friends and family can take turns dj-ing while not missing out on any conversation!
