PicoBrew Pico C
It's just not a barbecue without a steady supply of cold, frosty brews. But this summer, instead of spending a small fortune on your fancy IPAs, Saisons and Hefeweizens, make your own. PicoBrew allows you to craft 5 liters of fresh beer in about 2 hours with hops and grains from some of your favorite breweries. And if you're feeling particularly crafty, you can have PicoBrew tweak a few components to get a totally new take on some old favorites. Best of all, Pico now sells an attachment, the PicoStill, which lets you distill your own spirits, so that you can make that perfect gin and tonic for those hot summer days.Credit: PicoBrew
Traeger Ironwood 650
Good barbecue can mean tending a smoker for hours on end, making sure that it doesn’t get too hot or too cold. Traeger’s Ironwood 650 takes a lot of that work out of your hands. The smoker has a built-in temperature gauge and automatically feeds in wood pellets to make sure it remains at the right heat for your ribs or brisket. And it connects via Wi-Fi to your Android or iPhone, so you can monitor and control the grill remotely. It’s expensive, but the results are delicious.Credit: Traeger

The P18 can project a 200-inch image at a range of about 15 feet, and has one HDMI, one VGA, one USB and one AV port.
