There is always something fantastic about an outdoor grill. The cold wisp of wind, the smoky flavours, the starry nights and of course great company, all these together make an out door barbecue a cherishable experience. Broberg & Ridderstråle have designed a minimalist BBQ which can be used outside. They call the grill “Röshults Grill – 120” and will suit any place, indoors and outdoors. It is made of steel and you can use firewood or charcoal.
The detachable stainless steel area just complements the look and feel of the gadget. There is enough space to grill loads of meat for a handful of guests. Imagine having this by the pool when it is a cold winter night! If you can get a whiff of what I am saying, you would really not mind spending $1,804 on this space saving modernist design.

Camping could never be so comfortable before. You never know the new Tonke Camper may become the reason for those further extended stays in the rough terrain or perhaps even a road trip across the world. Holland manufacturers have come up with this ultra-cool camping van, that promises to give you a dose of comfort in the middle of nowhere.
The look of Tonke Camper is oxymoronic to say the least. Reason? Well, the outer body will give you the impression of a very basic camping facility but the interiors will have your jaw dropping to the floor. The trailer is just as comfy and inviting as your home. Loaded with a small kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and a cozy sitting area, don’t be surprised when you perhaps would want to shift lodgings to this dream abode permanently. The strongest point of Tonke Camper is that the entire trailer can be dismantled and be used as a guest room or extra office space.

The manufacturers claim that the inspiratin for Tonke Camper came from old yachts and gypsy caravans. Available in two models, Explorer (just right for the Renault Master Van) and Fieldsleeper (designed for the Mercedes Sprinter), the modern camping car can be yours at 70,000 (starting range). If the price is a little too high, do not worry because this trailer can very easily be rented out at around 500 per week, when not in use.

You love camping, but your best friend loves his comfort zone more than the rough nature. But now you can persuade him to partner you in Glamping! Meant truly for those who love a little bit of both the worlds, Glamping is glamorous camping where after roughing it you get to retire in luxurys lap.
The New York Times recently profiled this new trend and a few glamping venues which offer a mix of amenities ranging from tepees to antique dressers, all stressing a strong eco-conscious theme. Amenities vary depending on where you go, but many glamping packages include things like big, plush beds in your tent, personal butlers, gourmet food, wi-fi internet access, spa services (in a tent), and top shelf wine, liquor, cigars, etc. Rates start around $695 a night for a couple and can go as high as $50,000 a week for a family.
Call it nature on a silver plate, venues in Europe, Canada and the US. One of the most luxurious glamping sites is Paws Up in Montana where campers stay in cabins or tents, complete with king-sized beds and art on the walls, a personal butler and private master bath (though it is a short walk away). Surrender to the soft nature!

Camping was never so much fun, as it can be now that you can dish out lip-smacking meals without much fuss with the help of the new Elevate Cooking System. Now you can travel and yet have your most scrumptious cuisine. Kelly Bremer’s eco-friendly innovation, the alfresco cooking system consists of a stove, grill, and smoker stacked up to pull off as space saver too and also features a heat-activated color shifting material that warns of the flame’s invisible nature. And that isn’t all!! The unit is not only green in color but also in its concept of using eco-friendly denatured alcohol for cooking.
This uber convenient arrangement allows campers to grill veggies or meat and brew soups or coffee on the go without burning fossil fuels or even wood and that too all of them together. Once detached, each unit can stand on its own above the ground with the help of foldable legs. Finish your food and look the unit up as conveniently as you opened & carried it.

So all you campers out there, this one is certain to be a delicious you!!
