The art of homegating was born during the pandemic as folks looked for an alternative way to hang out and enjoy the tailgate atmosphere. But homegating is now here to stay as people everywhere get their own homegating setups going. For some people, the driveway really is the new stadium parking lot!
Here’s what you need to know about homegating, tailgating’s more convenient cousin. Hint: Cold drinks, hot grills, camp chairs and hanging with family and friends are all part of the master recipe.
Make Your Homegate Sizzle with a Portable Pellet Grill
Homegating is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a classic tailgate party, but in your driveway or backyard instead of a stadium parking lot. It’s easier than you might expect to put one together.
What do you do at a homegating party? Everything you do at a tailgate, of course! That means enjoying classic BBQ recipes, a cooler full of beverages and good company.
Most homegating happens outdoors since you’ll typically be grilling. However, another cool thing about homegating is that you can even do it inside if necessary (albeit with the grill outdoors). Wherever you choose to have your homegate, it’s all about creating the atmosphere!
If you’re like most tailgaters, grilling is one of your favorite parts of the experience. So, when you’re planning your homegate, it’s one of the things you should put the most thought into.
Any kind of grill can work well at a homegating party, but our selection at Grilla Grills is perfect for the homegating lifestyle. Pellet grills are especially popular for homegating because of their “set it and forget it” operation, and the Chimp portable pellet grill is a certified tailgating MVP that will serve your homegate well.
Kamado grills like the Grilla Kong are also perfect for homegating. The Kong’s 600+ inch cooking surface can feed a small army, and its ceramic construction makes it great for cooking in any weather.
Whatever type of grill you’re using, be sure to keep a good supply of fuel on hand. Grilla’s all natural wood pellets are made from high quality smoking woods, and a single 20-pound bag will last you for a full day of grilling (with pellets leftover for next time). If you’re going the kamado route, make sure you have some natural lump charcoal on hand to light your kamado grill.
