Magnetic BBQ Tool Light Brightens Up Your Beef
Did you know that May is national BBQ month? If you haven't celebrated yet, I suggest you make up for lost time by firing up that grill morning, noon and night. That's right, you can even cook in the dark thanks to this LED BBQ tool light. It isn't the first BBQ light out there, but it is the only one that can attach magnetically to your spatula so you can catch all of the action close up. It even has a bendable neck for added versatility. If you think about it, this sort of device could come in handy in all sorts of situations outside of the grill. Not bad for only $14.95.

Folding "Notebook" Grill (For Mobile Meat)
Even small BBQ grills can be awkward to lug to a tailgate, but this Notebook Portable Flat-Folding BBQ is just about as simple as carrying a meat-charring incinerator can be. Priced at around $40, the Notebook BBQ can fold up when not in use, leaving your friend who agreed to carry the charcoal SOL. Once we learned how long the grill needed to cool to a holdable temperature, we could bust this thing out on a whim to spite those damned vegetarian sunbathers. Then, once the testosterone wore off, we'd apologize for ruining their otherwise perfectly lovely afternoon. [Gadget Shop via Coolest Gadgets]

Exhaust Grill Cooks Burgers with Smoke Heat

A short-listed entrant in a recent design competition titled "Dining in 2015," the grill, invented by an Iranian team, plugs directly into your car exhaust.

Check out the extra image to see how it might let you "cook while you commute." More »

Evander Holyfield Announces Real Deal Grill
After kicking George Foreman's ass in the ring, Evander Holyfield hopes to kick his ass again in the kitchen (with a grill, not boxing gloves).

At the moment, we're only moderately excited about the new animal-flesh-charring matchup. Get Don King on the line and then maybe we'll talk. [defamer/AP]

BoomChef Solar-Powered Hot Dog Grill Is Niche Market Gold
If there is one complaint I have about every boomerang competition I go to, it's that there simply aren't enough hot dogs. Apparently boomerang enthusiast Paul Sprague and I don't frequent the same contests, because when he goes boomeranging (yep, that's a word), he brings along his self-designed BoomChef solar-powered grill, built intentionally for grilling up hot dogs at boomerang competitions. When he says solar powered, he means it—the thing is literally a glass box that catches sunlight bounced off a reflective Mylar panel. More »

For 10x the price of a George Foreman grill, this $200 grill/hot plate set better cook 10x the amount of stuff. It does. From the horrible Japanese translation, this Zojirushi grill looks like it can roast meat, grill vegetables, make fried rice, smoke meat, cook vegetables, make chow mein and a bunch of other things. And of course you can pack it up into a really, really hot briefcase afterwards. Only in Japan (so far).

Propane Gauge Keeps You From Coming Up Short
Grilling season is upon us, and this propane gauge from Gaslow has arrived to make our lives easier. Sure, a lot of grills have a makeshift lever-like device that weighs the propane and gives you an approximate idea of how much juice you have left, but those are crap—they're not accurate, and will let you down every time.

Solar Grill Cooks Burgers with the Sun
You only grill when it's sunny out anyways, so a solar-powered grill only makes sense. This isn't an electric grill rigged up with some solar panels either, it's a grill that's designed to use the heat of the sun to heat the surface of the grill without any gas or coils involved. More »
