BBQ naturally and safely
Inspired by the traditional Japanese
wood or charcoal fired clay ‘kamado’,
the Big Green Egg is the alternative grill. The slow, even heat is produced in this ceramic cooker by natural, pure carbon lump charcoal, eliminating the ‘petrol’ taste found with many traditionally used briquettes. The EGG reaches the perfect cooking temperature in 10 minutes and maintains precise readings up to 750ºF whether used as a grill, a smoker or an oven; it produces very little ash. The space-age ceramics make it durable, rust resistant and fuel efficient. The ceramic surface stays cooler than metal grills, safer to use around children and pets. biggreenegg.ca

 Bright de-bugging
Don’t go in when the skeeters come out! The ThermaCELL lantern is 100% DEET-free and 98% effective at repelling mosquitoes and other flying insects. ThermaCELL technology slowly dispenses Allethrin, a copy of a repellent naturally found in chrysanthemum flowers; heated by a recyclable butane cartridge, vaporised repellent creates a 15’ x 15’ ‘bug-free-zone’ in minutes. Combine unmatched mosquito protection with its battery operated ambient light. Field tested in LaBarierre Park, near Winnipeg, MB; it is proven safe for humans and pets. thermacell.com
No more water bottles
Soda, seltzer or sparkling water anyone? Turn ordinary tap water into 60 litres of personally flavoured sparkling beverages at the touch of a button with SodaStream. This economical, ‘active green’ alternative replaces 180 cans of pop and eliminates a water bottle with each beverage, by using glass carafes or BPA-free reusable bottles. The carbonating cylinder is refillable and the unit uses no electricity. Adjust the amount of carbonation, and the sweetness; over 60 flavour syrups to choose from. Keeps drinks fizzy longer, too. sodastream.ca H&L
