Honda EU300i generator, my blue Thermapen, and our Coleman instant hot water heater. And if it works as well as advertised, our new ET-732 thermo

Lots of good ideas, also a means to keep you knives sharp is always important.

Cabela's Outfitter XL Cot. It's one of the best investments we've ever made.

And, if you have the room to transport them, the Cabela's Chaise Lounge Chair is another great item.

IMO Cots are a waste of space and wayyyy too cold at night (If you're in a cold environment)... not to mention they're not as comfortable as a good ThermaRest.

For less than the price of that cot, you could get a ThermaRest Base Camp Mat and sleep like you're on an expensive mattress. Best of all, it's self inflating (Sets up in seconds) and packs up into a very small sack (smaller than a folding camp chair bag).

Cots are too bulky, allow too much air underneath, and not NEARLY as comfortable IMO.

You're right about a cot allowing a lot of cold air to underneath in cold weather but a good sleeping bag helps to minimize that problem quite a bit.

You're also right about ThermaRest products being excellent options. The only real drawback with that choice for me is that I'm not really comfortable sleeping on the ground, even with a good mattress between me and the planet.

I think that both of our suggestions would work well depending on the circumstances at the time.

Always have a "huggie/coozie" and a shigging cup. And my trusty red thermapen.

For your chicken, right? Or do you make special muffins for your competitors?

Yes, especially when cooking in a muddy field or a parking lot.... especially an urban parking lot, like Troy NY.... was that a cat that just scurried through the site? :shocked:

I have one of the XL cots and yes its bulky but quite worth it imo

Edge Pro!

 

[TN_BBQ]

LED cap light (look ma, no hands)

Tablecloth clips (a nice fart can blow a tablecloth away)

Y-adapter for water hose (I'm tired of you guys dragging mud over here. Go make your own mudhole back behind your smoker )

Garden cart (much more hip than a red wagon)

Zero gravity chair (not so comfortable to sleep in, but darn good way to rest them feets)

EZ-up sidewalls (it's gonna rain...count on it)

Trailer dolly (sometimes you simply want to pack it up and get on the road)

I agree with DivaHerself. Cooked since 1987 and finally got a motorhome last year. Not as fancy as Diva's but it's GREAT!

Bunny, that's the must-have gadget I would wish for!
This is what we're actually using:

 

[Ken V]

Found these at Harbo freight for about $10.00 ea. Going to attach them to my ez-up with zip ties over the work table. Haven't checked to see how long the batteries last but should last more than enough. They are super bright and the heads are on swivels and rotate.
