WAIT!!! Don’t pull the camper out of the driveway yet!  I have a few must haves for your summer camping trip!

I’m in love with the WondaWedge for comfy beach, bunk, or camper lounging.  This inflatable wedge packs easily, takes up little room, and would travel anywhere. Blow up the wedge for a comfy back support, and the permanently attached mat gives you a clean place to lay so that the wedge stays in place.

The kids tried them out, and WOW comfortable.  They have been using them to watch tv on the floor.  Super idea for more seating for kids!  They can’t wait to take them to camp.  (thanks WondaWedge)

Taking a grill with you? We do, we have one of those mini Weber grills… awesome idea for travel!  But if you are like us, everyone has a different idea about  how the burger should be cooked.

Have you seen these Grill Charms? Place them in your meat, whether a steak, burger, chicken and cook with the charm in there, so everyone can identify their entree.

Cool, right?

Lots of patterns to choose from, and you flip the entree with the charm right in it.

Grill Charms™ are dime-sized solid stainless steel charms that are placed in food BEFORE grilling. The serrated stem holds the charm securely while flipping, moving and grilling food like you normally do. Grill Charm™ your food PRIOR to cooking to distinguish spices and flavors, steak temperatures, or to avoid health or allergy issues. When dinner comes off the grill, everyone knows which one is theirs. They are not only the hottest grilling accessory of the season, but with four fantastic collections to choose from Grill Charms™ make the perfect gift for any occasion!

Pick up yours with the discount code “grilling” for $5 off!

Need to get the fire started? Don’t want to drag charcoal on your trip?  FlameDisk is the answer!

FlameDisk…The Charcoal Replacement… is the first item in a line of products that use SOLIDIFIED ALCOHOL to enhance the CONVENIENCE and SAFETY of outdoor grilling. Just drop it in the bottom of any grill, peel the lid and the FlameDisk lights easily with one match and is ready to cook immediately. It provides at least forty minutes of grilling time and is cool to the touch five minutes after the fuel is spent.

Perhaps best of all, at the end of your grilling session there is no soot, ash, mess or dangerous hot coals; just toss the remaining aluminum shell in the trash or recycling bin. The FlameDisk is easy to transport and store, making it perfect for tailgating, camping, boating and day-trips, as well as quick, convenient, clean grilling at home. It’s also great for apartment and condo use.

Finally, the FlameDisk is much more ECO-FRIENDLY than charcoal and lighter fluid because it features renewable biofuel (ethanol), is extremely clean burning, generates 90% fewer pollutants and is made with recyclable materials.

I’m sold on this.  We’ve used 2 of the 3 pack I got for review (thank you FlameDisk) and love it.  I don’t like the mess of charcoal, and will use FlameDisk this winter time when we cook on the grill and want it quick and easy.

Get a great smokey flavor without the hassel of special charcoal, the worry and mess of transport…FlameDisk is the camper’s best friend!  And affordable too!

Hope you enjoy these products, and would love for you to share your links for your faves….happy camping!!
