Beyond food, drinks and tunes, the right mix of hardware can make or break a tailgate party. Here are the essential roster:
The Grill
Your tailgate grill can be anything from a tiny hibachi to a 30,000-BTU burner, so long as it cooks enough meat for your crowd. Charcoal grills are still the reigning champs, but gas grills are making a comeback, since startup and cleanup tend to be easier.
Coolers
Bring at least two coolers — one for beverages, the other for meat. Models range from basic Styrofoam boxes all the way to thermoelectric mini-fridges that plug into a vehicle's auxiliary power outlet.
Folding Tailgate Chairs
Unless you want your guests winding down 45 minutes into the festivities, give them a place to sit. We find that folding tailgate chairs are easier to store than plastic lawn chairs.
Folding Tailgate Tables
While fold-down tailgate table serve as a good perch for food and beverages, many vehicles have ditched them for raised lift-gates. Stand-alone tables provide the extra room you'll need for a winning spread.
Power Inverter
Consider bringing a power inverter if you want to plug in a television, radio or anything else that uses a conventional alternating current. Inverters can turn a vehicle's direct-current outlet (the cigarette lighter in many cars) into a power source for twin-pronged AC plugs. If you're looking to include lots of heavy artillery — multiple TVs, a parking lot speaker system or an outdoor heater — bring a stand-alone generator to the event.
Flags
In a crowded parking lot, flags provide a beacon for your tailgaters to meet up. Bring at least two flags: one with your team's colors, the other with a distinct design so stragglers can find you when they finally show up.
Tailgate Games
When plates are clean and cups run dry, tailgating games keep guests entertained with games like poker (if you remembered the folding table and chairs) or a beanbag toss.
