Title: What do you do with your tools while tailgating?
Post by: shamlax79 on June 07, 2017, 06:43:16 PM
I'm planning on doing more tailgating and I'm wondering how you guys transport all your tools while your tailgating. I plan on having the usual spatula, tongs, grill brush, lighter cubes, etc. with me so I'm thinking maybe a toolbox but I tried with one I had at home and it seemed to not all fit inside that great but it could have just been the toolbox I have. Just curious what you guys do. Thanks in advance

I use something very similar to a Mary Poppins carpet bag. I don't even know where I got this bag but it's perfect. It carries plates, bowls, cups, cooking utensils, eating utensils, serving utensils, napkins, paper towels, salt, pepper, spices, cooking oil, lighters, starter cubes. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but it holds a lot. You may need something closer to small suit case size.

@JDD is the grill in there too? Maybe a beer fridge?

I do a lot of tail gating and cooking at friends homes.  I bought a padded knife roll for transporting grilling tools ($19.99) My SS tongs, fork, Shun chefs knife, timer and Thermapen all fit inside.  Grill brush gets thrown in the truck bed with the kettle and chimney.

Find the length of your longest tool, width of widest and the height of the tallest, then go to Walmart and find the tote that best accommodates all of them.

Ha Ha, I wish.  I have a Yeti cooler so I don't need a beer fridge. Packing the kettles is a little more complicated.
