Father’s Day is coming up this month.  Like it or not.  And since this is the first Father’s Day ever that I am actually on the receiving end of things… wait… we didn’t tell you guys yet?  I guess we didn’t.

Double Danger is about to get a new team member… you can call us Triple Danger from now on (thanks FB & Twitter friends!).

Yup – we are going to be proud parents for the first time, so I planned it perfectly and I didn’t have to get Shala a Mother’s Day gift, but she will have to get me one for Father’s Day.  See what I did there?!? 

OK – enough about me/us – let’s talk about potential gifts for your BBQing Father this Father’s Day.  These are not in any particular order – just gathered… so don’t think #1 is better than #10… it is all the same.

1. Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer

I’m a nerd when it comes to BBQing.  Hell, I’m a nerd when it comes to anything.  I am a computer guy, a guy that likes badass toys (who doesn’t right?) and so even w/ something as simple as a thermometer – I think no differently.  This is a great tool that makes sense when you are BBQing because you need to know how hot something is instantly – you need to check surfaces while staying sterile… so nothing makes more sense than this lil dude! 

Woot Deals linked to one the other day that was on sale for a little over 20 bucks, here you go…

How many of you are planning a BBQ this weekend?  Too many.  Wait… can there be too many BBQ(s)?  Nah – that is like having a too much money, or too much bacon…  just can’t do it.

To help you BBQ the best you can, we are stringing together a few easy to remember tips this weekend – so keep coming back often.

First tip… ALWAYS have a BBQ rag to keep your hands clean.  Seriously, this seems simple – but it is important.  The last thing you want to do is have dirty hands – because then you have dirty beer…

No one likes a dirty beer.

I have the same BBQ Rag. Ever.Single.Time.  I feel naked (nekked) if I’m w/out it – here is mine…

I know some of you gangstas out there are going to say – hey… dont’ be disrespecting our “color” like that.  Not my intent my gangsta buddies.  Total respect to the Crip BBQers out there – nothing but respect.  I’m an equal opportunity gangsta BBQer – sometimes I might rock the red – sometimes the blue… this is mine at the moment.  Simple & effective.
