Here are the top BBQ gadgets of 2010.

Firewire BBQ Skewers

If you like nothing better than barbequed kebab in the sunshine then the Fire Wire BBQ Skewers are just the tools for you. These ingenious skewers make grilling meat easier than ever on even the smallest barbeque.

Because they're cables (and particularly bendy) you can drape them over the grill any way you want, saving plenty of room for bigger things like steak and sausages.

For the truly technically talented, the Firewire skewers are NOT compatible with any currently available PC form factor.

The Firewire skewers won't burn endlessly like wooden skewers, and to boot, they are durable, fun to use, and will last a great deal longer than their wooden counterparts.

The Condiment BBQ Gun

Dirty Harry once said, "Do you feel lucky, punk?".

Well your hot dog rolls and burgers certainly will once they have been given a large calibre shot from the BBQ Condiment Gun.

Equip the BBQ condiment gun with either the red or yellow bullets (containers for your favorite BBQ sauce), and take careful aim at your tasty target, and slowly squeeze the trigger.

Your rolls and meats will be gunned down with a relentless stream of sauce, much to the delight of your guests.

The best news is that you don't need a license to carry one, though some people may question it if you decide to carry it outdoors loaded with Tony Roma's. The choice is yours.

Now you can take your mind off of that worry, and get on with the serious stuff.

The BBQ Sword

It is often quoted that the pen is mightier than the sword. It doesn't apply in this case, infact, the question actually should be, "Is The Sausage mightier than the Sword?"

Every meat musketeer needs one of these finely balanced swords, each one of which has been lovingly made to complement every grill chefs arsenal of BBQ utensils.

This perfect pork prodder will aid you in ways that you haven't yet imagined, and guests will watch in awe as you slice through the air with the grace of Dartagnan.

By using the radio controller, you can effortlessly guide your desired drinks to their destination with a minimum of fuss and spillage.

With gas prices on the rise, your mind can be put at rest by knowing that the running costs of this vehicle is remarkably inexpensive, requiring the use of a few small batteries.

This is surely a very small price to pay for driving your beer (and guests perhaps), to geographic distraction.

As with the BBQ Condiment gun, the remote control beverage buggy requires no license, though it may require some modification if you intend to drive it on the road!

Strap yourself in and take your remote control beverage buggy for a test drive.

Creating the Best Bbq Party

No barbeque would be complete without guests and proper outdoors weather. Plan ahead of time, checking with your potential guest for scheduling conflicts and issues. Finding a date and time that is suitable for everyone should not be to far as long as you everyone enough advanced notice. Alternatively, be sure to check the weather for that type of year. If you live in a climate that cannot be predicted, then you may want to have a backup plan just incase unusual weather comes. You cannot predict things like rain and thunderstorms ahead of time, but you can make sure that you hold you barbeque during the time of year that will be pleasant to your guests. A barbeque in cold weather may hold more negative memories of trying to keep warm rather then good memories of family and friends.

Barbequing has been around since early cavemen figured out that food tasted great after being cooked on an open fire. Perhaps one of the main memories attached to a family barbeque is what was on the menu that day. Barbequing opens a whole array of types of foods available. The type of foods you serve should largely depend on your crowd and the event in which you are celebrating. With the wide range of possibilities, you are sure to find at least a few items that will please your crowd.

Make sure that you prepare ahead for your barbeque. 12 to 24 hours before you plan on beginning the party, make sure to thaw, prepare, and marinate the meat you will be cooking. Once you have the meat stored away, soaking up the marinate, then you must start thinking about what types of side dishes you will be having. If you want a completely tradition barbeque, you may want to stick with traditions sizes. Traditional barbeque sides include potatoes and potato salad, baked beans, and coleslaw. Your traditional condiment bar should include pickles, relish, and onions. These foods are typically severed at barbeques because they are easy to prepare and store until the event happens. You may want to cook other items, but any barbeque is complete with just the items listed above.

A themed barbeque may present more opportunities to hold a festive event. With a themed event, you can splurge on the atmosphere and decorations. Matching tablecloths, napkins, and plates can be found at any local store. You can also match your décor to the party. For example, a luau could simply be creative colored utensils, leis, and Tiki torches, all of which are extremely cheap. You can even reuse the Tiki torches later!

Your party area should be set up before guest arrive. It only takes a few minutes to get everything ready, but the reaction you get from your arriving guests may make you feel like you were preparing and decorating all day. Depending on the situation, you may or may not want to have the food already cooking on the grill. The smell will surely be inviting if you start cooking ahead!
