Flexible Tailgating: Fire Wire Grilling Skewers

Fire Wire Grilling Skewers are flexible skewers that add some extra real estate to your grill while solving many of the food handling problems associated with conventional straight skewers. They’re great to load up in a zip lock bag before the tailgate, allowing your food to marinate on the ride over. Also, unlike wooden skewers that are one-time use or conventional skewers that rust over time, Fire Wire Grilling Skewers are stainless steel and last a lifetime.

This professional grade grilling tool is made from 100% stainless steel.

Upcoming Tailgating Inventions: Tailgate Buddy

Who said electrical engineering students don't know how to tailgate? This robotic vehicle was created for a senior design project at the University of Central Florida's school of electrical engineering. It started as a 12 volt Power Wheels vehicle, and converted into a robotic vehicle that follows and infrared emitter, which can be worn on the user's belt. It's a little rough around the edges, but we would love to see the final product.

The HeelRaiser Tailgating Hearse

The original seed for this hearse tailgate vehicle was originally planted at a North Carolina / Clemson football game in the fall of 2003. John L. Snipes and a friend had traveled from Atlanta to Death Valley to watch John’s Tar Heels stomp his friend’s Tigers, which was a rare occurrence in those days. Walking through the tailgating area outside the stadium, they saw a white hearse with an orange roof. On the hood was a giant, orange tiger paw, and written on both sides was PAW BEARER!

It only took till February of 2004, in Cabbagetown, an old mill village near Downtown Atlanta, where he saw a 1974 Cadillac Hearse parked behind a bar/restaurant called “97 Estoria.” It had a “For Sale” sign with a phone number listed, which he immediately called. Within a couple of days, and a $1000 later, the hearse was his with a Bill of Sale written on a cocktail napkin.

Hooters Tailgate Truck Takes It Over The Top

The Hooters Tailgate Truck is an example of what a limitless budget and a few hot waitresses with outdated uniforms will get you. Not bad. Of course, if you do win this truck, you have to factor in the cost of security to watch it during the game. If you need a suggestion on who to hire, I recommend this guy

Monday Morning Wake Up Call: Arizona State

Thanks to "Timbo" for this nice shot of the Arizona State University Dance Team taking some time off. They are obviously not wearing their official ASU Dance uni's, but we have no problem with that.

Product Update: Tailgate Partymate Table System

Way back in March we wrote a quick post (/content/gadgets/failed-tailgate-inventions-tailgate-partymate) about the Tailgate Partymate Table System, and about how we loved the product except for its small flaw. We are pleased to report the flaw, which was about covering the license plate during vehicle motion, has been corrected. The unit now ships with a special license plate mounting frame to comply with all local and state laws, but be sure to check your local laws for compliance. So now, as promised in our last post, we can truly say that this product is a great way to gain some table real estate, and increase your tailgate area.

The "Big G" Is Truly A Tailgating Legend

For the last 15 years, Stephen Gay has been showing his love for the Green Bay Packers by sporting his converted 1966 Dodge Camper. This lifelong resident of Green Bay turned that old camper into one of the most storied tailgating vehicles around, simply known as the "Big G." This famous tailgate machine has even starred in a Campbell's Soup commercial and an NFL Films presentation. Its allocates are incredibly hard to beat considering the fact that the "Big G" has been featured in numerous news and web publishings throughout the country.
