Batteries & Gear Ties for Grills & Utensils

- Alkaline batteries - used in battery-powered grills
- Coin cell batteries - for cooking thermometers
- Power bank - a great way to charge cordless blenders & other USB-rechargeable gadgets

Bring Portable Power to Your Barbecue
If you plan on hosting a large-scale barbecue off-site, you'll probably want to have an additional power source to run things like fridges, crock pots and coffee makers. A portable power station from Goal Zero is a great alternative to generators, which can be too loud for a party setting. Goal Zero power stations:
- Can be charged through a wall outlet, from your car or via solar energy using a Goal Zero solar panel (not included)
- Are equipped with multiple charging ports
- The Yeti 200X and Yeti 500X are ideal models for outdoor gatherings
