Shecky’s

It’s almost time to bust out the grill and enjoy the independence of our beautiful country with family and friends! At this time of the year, BBQs are a dime a dozen but the question remains: what can you bring to make this BBQ the standout of the summer season—and enjoyable for you! It doesn’t have to be red, white, blue everything but these items will definitely help you and your fellow party guests have a summer day to remember. Grab up one (or all!) of these great gifts and bring ‘em to your next BBQ to ensure a sizzling good time!

Tiki Torches

Grab up Lowe’s TIKI 60″ Outdoor Living Bamboo Citronella Torch (only $5.98 each on lowes.com!) to bring an unexpected but still totally festive tiki feel to the BBQ, while keeping those pesky bugs at bay! The torches are made from renewable bamboo and can hold up to 16 oz of TIKI torch fuel.
