10 Gifts For The BBQ/Grilling Dad For Father’s Day

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.

Grilling Dads - REJOICE!

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…

Coolest BBQ Shirt EVER!! (Evolution of BBQ)

Saw this shirt on Shirt.Woot.com today – had to share with my fellow BBQ buddies.  If you are a BBQ fan, you will love this Evolution of BBQ shirt…

This shirt is too sweet, and I just picked me one up.  But just like everything on Woot… it won’t be around for long at 10$, so if you want it, better get to it!  (hat tip: @zealotonastick)

Spruce Up Your Alley w/ Sunflowers

Our AlleyAround these parts, we have these things called an alley.  Some places we go, people say… A WHAT?  They don’t get it, we try to explain… and it just doesn’t translate.  So we will explain, but forgive us if you have alleys where you are from and we go all third grade on you.

An alley is a road that splits a block of houses in half long ways – so that the garbage man can drive his big garbage truck and pick up the dumpsters of trash.  There are several big dumpsters on each block and you take your trash out to those dumpsters as needed and they are picked up twice a week.  Just imagine (if you don’t have an alley) that instead of putting your trash in trash cans by the street on trash day – you can throw them in a big community dumpster on your block and the trashman takes that instead.
