The Fourth of July is upon us, and what better way to celebrate our country's birthday than to enjoy some warm summer weather while grilling out? How about grilling out with some useful new grill tech to spice things up? This year, we're bringing you five products under $100 to take your Fourth of July grilling experience to the next level. First up, the Lou Flighter 1. The Lou Flighter is a supercharged hot air blower designed to quickly heat charcoal grills, pizza ovens, fireplace logs, and more, speeding up your entire open flame cooking process. Just point and hold the handle button, and this grilling tool gets to 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit in just 60 seconds. We love it because it's no gas, no open flame, no lighter fluid, fast, eco-friendly, and versatile. The Lou Flighter will have your neighbors jealous that their grills are still heating up while you're plating your perfectly cooked steaks. Number two, the GrillBot Automatic Grill Cleaning Robot. For under $100, you can have this bad boy clean your grill for you while you socialize, light fireworks, or maybe grab an extra hot dog. You've earned it. Simply place it on the grill, turn it on, close the lid, and forget about it. The GrillBot Automatic Grill Cleaning Robot has a built-in timer and turns itself off. It even lets you know when your grill is clean. With the grill cleaning robot, you won't have to waste your time manually cleaning your grill on the fourth or ever again. Our third product is the Weber iGrill Mini. At less than $40, the Weber iGrill Mini is a Bluetooth thermometer that pairs with your smartphone, letting you monitor your temperature and cooking progress from the palm of your hand. Choose your food and desired temperature from the app menu, and wait for the smart LED color code to let you know when your meal is ready. You can sip a beer and relax, never wondering if you'll have that, oh shoot, my meat is on fire moment again. Number four, Grill HeatAid Extreme Heat Resistant Gloves. These handy gloves will keep your hands from hurting like a mother-glover when you accidentally get burger grease on your finger or get too close to the grill. With the Grill HeatAid gloves, your hands will be able to withstand up to 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit and be four times stronger than leather. These gloves cost less than $40 and provide maximum protection, allowing you to cook without worrying about getting lit, because that's your steak's job. Our fifth product isn't $100, but it is worth checking out. Coming in at $200 is the Hompin' Grill. A portable charcoal grill weighing only eight and a half pounds. We love that it's lightweight, portable, and basically smokeless. No more smelling like a coal mine. It only needs eight charcoal briquettes per hour and runs on batteries, so you can grill anywhere. Don't snuff at its size. It's mighty in its compact form and will make for a fun new way of grilling during your 4th of July celebration. Whether you've been looking for a specific grilling tool to add to your arsenal or just wanted to try something fun and new this year, any one of these five products will surely add to your 4th of July celebration. Thanks for watching, and be sure to check out more of our videos. We'll see you next time.
