Wireless Wednesday for 9/16/15: Omni Homestead, Golf and Tailgating Tech

Rick is at the Onmi Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, VA this week. This is where Sam Snead grew up and got his start in golf. It's also the oldest continuous first tee in the US, dating back to 1892.

Rick and Mitch take a look at some new "Tailgating Technology" as the football season kicks off - have a listen:

1.   Backyard 2- Burner Grill from Walmart

- Small and compact, but powerful and durable grill for tailgating and only $89

2. BBQ Dragon

- For those that like to still use Charcoal grills

The BBQ Dragon is a fire-starting tool so simple and yet revolutionary that it is literally changing the entire barbecue industry. It reduces the start time of charcoal grills to less than ten minutes and supercharges the starting of all kinds of other fires. It works by blowing large amounts of low-velocity, cool air at the fire. The BBQ Dragon's sophisticated, high-tech design is the perfect compliment to any grill or outdoor kitchen. It's battery-powered, hands-free, micro-USB rechargeable, and looks fantastic. It works on anything: charcoal grills, fire pits, fireplaces, wood stoves, smokers, even campfires. Never before has there been a product that so substantially improves America's most popular past time: barbecue. The variable speed motor allows you to infinitely control the amount of air, and thus oxygen, delivered to a fire.
Available at Walmart and Amazon.
