The Groover
The Groover Cleaning Pads are the easiest and quickest way to dissolve food and grease for a spotless clean grill. No rinsing needed. The Groover pads are individually wrapped grill-cleaning pads that are pre-saturated with heat activated cleaner, designed to be used on a heated grill. Attaching easily to the bristles of any grill brush, when applied to a heated grill the cleaner flows from the pad to attack burnt-on grease and grime to bring grill grates back to new again. Works on any grill grate – stainless steel, porcelain, cast iron, etc. The Groover is food safe and leaves no chemical smell or taste, so grilling can begin immediately following cleaning.

Specially formulated accompanying grilling oil won’t burn off like conventional cooking sprays. Specially designed fiber of the wipes allows them to be used on heated grill grates for optimal no-stick performance. Easily give food distinct grill marks without any worry of food sticking. Makes achieving professional results simple and convenient. Not flammable like spray products.

I LOVE to grill- this prize pack is amazing! Cannot wait to see you on TV!!!

My favorite BBQ tip is to prepare as much ahead of time as possible. I also like to use a lot of white twinkly lights to create a party atmosphere.
every year we tailgate for dave matthews band in Indiana.
We have some great summer bbqs
Family camping trip where we forgot the top of the tent and it poured rain on us.
I love camping with my family. We always have fun and smores!
We did a couchgate when the Seahawks went to the playoffs, my Dad had ribs, hotdogs, steaks, chicken, and more on the grill. He was grilling ALL DAY!
They all are great ideas!
My first time making smores as a kid at camp.
We crack eggs in a mason jar before we leave. They stay separated and we can make over easy eggs at campsite.
Thanks for the chance.

IN high school my daughters basketball game went to the state finals all the parents tailgated outside the gym before the game
My favorite memories are driving up to Appalachian State on the weekends for football and fun — good friends and good food.
My favorite tailgating memory is with my husband and kids before my first Giant’s game! So much fun cooking and hanging out and just listening to the pep of everyone around me!
I remember tailgating with my dad before Syracuse college football games when I was a kid!
We enjoy camping in the summer and tailgating at Nascar races in Charlotte at least once a year. When I met my husband he lived only a mile from the track so we would walk there for each of the races.

My favorite BBQing memories are every 4th of july, since we live right next to the stadium, we invite everyone over for food, music, fun, and fireworks.
I use foil packets whenever possible when bbqing. It allows for portion size, easy carrying, and easy cleanup.
I remember camping in a tent with my parents when I was small, then I remember a bad rain storm, and everything in the tent get washed away!
I remember we went camping one New Years eve with a bunch of friends and had a bonfire. Then it snowed, in Texas! It was awesome.
I remember week long camping trips with my family when I was young
Everyone loves food! If you bring the food, the friends will follow!
We used to live in Gainesville and our friends had a house near the campus. It was always so much fun to go over there and tailgate there.
I used to work at a Boy Scout camp and the staff camped out in Teepees. I would have fun watching the squirrels climb up the teepee and slide back down. They would do that for hours. It was hilarious.
My favorite tailgating memory is actually from a concert back in 1995 – my boyfriend at the time and I went to see The Grateful Dead, and tailgated in the parking lot of the venue with a lot of very colorful characters!
