Take your grilling absolutely anywhere in the world thanks to the Una Grill

UNA Grill: the portable charcoal grill to carry anywhere
‘Tis the season for grilling and now, everyone can get in on the fun. Regardless of whether or not you have a grill (or really, the space for one), a new Kickstarter project wants you to get outside and get cooking. Meet the Una Grill, the portable charcoal grill that will go anywhere you go, and promises to be smart, compact, and easy-to-clean to boot.

What the grill lacks in size it promises to make up for in flavor — after all, just because the grill is small does not mean your imagination has to be (and you can certainly set your imagination free with these gadgets). Measuring just a foot and a half long and half a foot wide, the Una Grill is easy to bring with you, whether your destination is a campsite at the end of a hike, the lake, or just your balcony. Weighing in at just eight pounds, it will probably be more laborious to get the charcoal around than the grill itself.

The lid of the Una Grill doubles as a stand when you are ready to start cooking, and you can actually set the Una at two different grill heights. Just fill the charcoal grill with charcoal, cover it with the cooking grate, and lay your meat, seafood, and vegetables on top.

Components of this portable grill are also dishwasher-safe, so once you are finished with your outdoor fun, you can just throw the whole thing in the machine without a second thought.

The Una Grill team says that it is already tested functioning prototypes and is now taking to Kickstarter to raise funds in order to scale up production and manufacturing. Thus far, the campaign has raised more than $27,000, exceeding its initial goal, and you still have more than three weeks to back the project, too.

You can pre-order an Una Grill now from Kickstarter for $111, with an estimated delivery date of October.

Goodbye, coolers. The EcoFlow Glacier doesn’t need ice — it makes it
The EcoFlow Glacier is a fridge shaped like a cooler with its own battery,

Every cooler operates on borrowed time. It leaves for your camping trip brimming over with crisp produce and ice-encrusted beer that looks straight out of a Super Bowl commercial, and returns with a soggy block of foil-wrapped cheddar cheese floating in a pool of mustard water. Mother Nature always wins.

Perhaps that’s why I was so enamored when I saw the EcoFlow Glacier at CES 2023. Less a cooler than a mobile battery-powered fridge on wheels, the sleek electric Glacier not only obviated the need for ice, it would make ice for me in 18 minutes. My home fridge can’t even do that, and I didn’t even know I wanted it to until just now. When EcoFlow offered to let me try the Glacier, I envisioned sipping a perspiring glass of whiskey in the tropics and accepted the occupational hazards of my job.

I was wrong. E-bikes are so practical, they’re a transit cheat code
An Aventon Level 2 ebike sits outside a grocery store.

Confession: Despite loving both bikes and gadgets, e-bikes never excited me. Compared to my bicycle, e-bikes seemed unfair. Compared to my motorcycle, they seemed slow. Compared to my car, they seemed impractical.

But with $1,500 federal e-bike rebates potentially on the horizon at part of E-Bike Act, I decided it was past time to reconsider. Not just because 30% off would make them way more accessible, but because the entire idea that e-bikes could be worthy of a rebate changed the way I looked at them: less as toys, more as transit. Had I written off an entire way of getting around because I was looking at it the wrong way?

It wasn't too long ago that e-bikes were a rare sight, but all of that has changed, and rightfully so.
