Solid Copper Hammered Moscow Mule Mugs, Set of 2
A Moscow Mule just isn't the same if it's not served in a chilly copper mug. And since many out there are working on their home-bar-tending skills, what better time to invest in your own set of copper mugs? Especially ones that look this nice.

Popcorn Pan for the Grill
How nostalgic is this?? Stovetop popcorn is one of the greatest (and most versatile) snacks of all time. Toss with classic butter and salt or add a couple of tablespoons of sugar to the pot with the oil during popping for a crisp and sweet kettle corn. And with this pot, you cook your stovetop popcorn right on the grill for the perfect backyard snack.

Charcoal Kettle Sport F50
The star of the show, a good cook-out needs a grill. Charcoal grills are our favorite type of grill for 3 reasons: 1) smoky flavor from the coals is better than anything you'll get with an electric or gas grill, 2) the temperature of the coals burns hotter, giving you a crispier exterior and a juicer interior, and 3) you typically don't get large flare-ups like you would with an open-flame from a gas grill.

Bourbon Bacon Jam from Stonewall Kitchen
Bacon, bourbon, need we say more? This jam makes a PERFECT compliment to a grown-up grilled cheese or savory addition to a juicy burger right off the grill. Whatever you use this for, this jam is sure to satisfy any bacon lover (which is, like, pretty much all of us, right?).

Viking Double Wall Stainless Steel Thermal Beverage Bowl
While we love a sparkling San Pellegrino on a hot day (pictured above), this thermal Viking bowl is perfect for so much more. Sodas, beer, water, wine, salads - sky's the limit for this gorgeous serving bowl. The double wall thickness ensures that temps stay chilly, longer, and the stainless steel finish makes a gorgeous accent no matter your decor.

LED BBQ Solar Light
Grilling in the evening and losing daylight? This solar powered bbq light clamps on wherever is most convenient to shine light right where you need it. And it never needs batteries or an outlet, which makes this a perfect grill accessory, no matter where you are grilling.
