New Gadgets for Tailgate Party Grilling
The Stonebreaker Gloves – Tailgating Gloves
New gadgets for tailgate party guys
A pair of gloves with a beer opener built in? Yes please!
These gloves have been specifically designed for tailgate parties as they have a built in aluminum hex bottle cap opener in the pal of the right glove. Very highly rated, they are made of quality leather and there is stitching a-plenty to keep these bad boys on your hands while you are grilling. In truth, they are a tough as nails work glove which is a good safety element for the tailgate party. I like to have a lot of protection on my hands and wrists while grilling so that I avoid burns. These do the job and when you are not actually grilling, they still get use as the bottle opener. Super comfy to wear as they are lined with a soft material. You can actually pick up a grill (well,not red-hot, but darn hot) while wearing them. Previously, it was a hazard to drink and grill but now, it’s a cinch.
Of course, if you are a clumsy (or drunk) tailgater, you may prefer to get a pair of welding gloves with cuffs that come up to your elbows, but hey, I have never required that level of caution. Better still, get a pair of these extreme burn-proof arm guards and then you can take it off when you are not in extreme danger.
Magicook Folding Portable Grill Table with Hooks and Table Tops.
Here’s a nifty folding table that is as portable as anything you will ever need to stash in your tailgate party gear box. It has hooks for hanging cooking tools, heatproof gloves and other essential gear and 4 surfaces for prepping food or putting out drinks.

It’s really light weight yet durable and I can’t imagine anything better or more economical to take with you to the parking lot. In fact, you can fold and fit this table into a carry bag.
Ironcat 7020 Leather Heat Resistant Sleeve
New Gadgets for Tailgate Party Guys – Ironcat Leather Sleeves
I bought two pairs of the red Stonebreaker gloves (One pair of gloves for me and another for Ms. Rawhide and the same large size fits both of us so it’s almost a backup set in case we lose a glove) and a pair of the Ironcat sleeves just in case – which we share. The Ironcat sleeves snap closed and you can take them off easily when you are not handling hot items.
Stonebreaker’s glove range is awesome and I want to thank them for making these for tailgate party guys! I’ll be buying all my grillmates a pair for whatever occasion comes up.
Tailgate Mate Portable Party Table
Tailgate Mate Compact Portable Table
Here’s something that is way more useful than you would ever think. It is a table with spaces for cans, mugs or bottles and folds down to fit in the carry bag supplied with it. We all know that anything that you can fold up to pack is a bonus for the tailgate party and this is a great example. yet I have never seen them in the stores, just online. Maybe they haven’t taken it to the Shark Tank yet! The Red Solo cup fits perfectly. You can pack a few of these useful gadgets for tailgate party guys and distribute them around your spot in the lot and trust me, you will bless the day you bought them. The vial measurements are 22 x 10 x 11 inches. Make sure you spread the legs to its extremity so that it stays in place as there is not locking clip. But I haven’t had one fall apart. Specify your preferred color and you should be lucky to get one to match your team logo.
EZ Hitch Tailgate Table
Great gadget for Tailgate Party – EZ Hitch Table
The EX Hitch Tailgate Table is the compact, handy invention that puts tailgate parties into their place – on a tailgate.

It’s a brilliant idea as you can slip this one into your vehicle and take it out and click it on in moments and voilà! You have a party.

The angle of the umbrella is resistant to wind gusts and it anchored to stay. The umbrella insert is 1-5″ which is OK for a patio umbrella .

Portable Football Cooler
OK, so what’s better than a cooler? A cooler that looks like a football. Themed gadgets for tailgate party guys are fun on the day!
Tailgate Party gadget – football shaped cooler
It’s very much a practical novelty item but it is well-insulated and stands off the ground so will prevent stooping. Should be a good item for people with back problems as bending for those beers can be so darn exhausting. It holds more than 40 cans (that’s my share). It’s a good policy to stash food above the ground (Health bureaucracies insist on a minimum of 6″ off the ground to avoid contamination). It closes with a zipper, has a carrying case of its own as well as the box it was shipped in. It is simple to put up and take down. What more could a football fan want? 20″ x 20″ x 38″.
Make sure you come back to this article regularly because, as I find some quirky items, I’ll add them to this list. It’s a good stopping off point for gift-shoppers!
Happy tailgating in 2018!
