Get set for summer
The poolside is packed for your summer party. The Chardonnay is chilling, and the steaks are about to hit the grill. Suddenly, you hear a foreboding “poof.” You realize, with dread, that the fire has gone out. Or worse still, you remember the wine is still in the pantry – at room temperature.

Gauging the exact level of the propane tank has always been hit and miss, but that need never be the case again with the Brookstone Propane Gauge. It installs in seconds without tools, and indicates the exact fuel level and when the grill is ready to use.

The gauge checks for leaks with every start, and Positive Seal prevents any gas flow until it is completely connected to the grill ($24.95).

The Sommelier’s Electronic Wine Chiller is another answer to your pre-party prep. Don’t take up precious cooler or refrigerator space with multiple bottles of wine. Cool (or warm) wine to a precise temperature in minutes. A backlit LED screen displays current, target and serving temperatures. The aluminum reservoir accommodates most bottle sizes for red, white and sparkling wines. It comes with a limited one-year warranty ($100).
