La Cross 308 1425B INT outdoor/indoor weather station. Gives indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, and forecast. There are many options out there ranging in a wide variety of prices.
Love this grill. I was undecided at first because it is a little bulkier to deal with compared to the Weber Q. After cooking with this grill we couldn't be happier. Cooks everything to perfection.
Amazon Fire Stick for Internet television. Also allows numerous apps like a fireplace. When we have Internet access this Firestick is great. We can watch Netflix, Hulu, and many other services.
