GRILLY GOAT

Sackso Enterprises LLC has rolled out its new line of Grilly Goat FUNctional barbecue tools and accessories. The flagship product of the Grilly Goat line is the Basting Tongs which, as the name implies, combines long reach tongs and a silicone basting brush into one useful tool.

"I design products that I need" states Sackso Enterprises founder Ed Spellman. "One Saturday I was grilling a large batch of chicken for a party we were hosting. My wife had recently discarded our basting brush because, in her words, "it was gross". I improvised by pouring the BBQ sauce onto the chicken and spread it with the tong ends. Immediately I noticed that by using the long reach tongs like this my hands were kept safely away from flare-ups that are quite common when grilling chicken. At that point I knew I was on to something and as soon as the last guest left I went into my shop and put together the first Basting Tongs prototype."

Soon afterwards, Sackso Enterprises developed a unique, patent pending vessel, known as the Sauce Pot, to complement the Basting Tongs. "Basting while grilling is often a messy proposition" continued Spellman. "The hot, smoky, and sometimes fast-paced action encountered often leads to drips and spills. Any cup, bowl or pot can hold sauce but our Sauce Pot doubles as a holder for the Basting Tongs and its ergonomic handle minimizes fatigue while maximizing vessel stability to virtually eliminate spills."

What about the backyard warrior who goes into battle using his trusty Weber® charcoal kettle grill; are the tactical advantages gained with the Basting Tongs with Sauce Pot lost due to lack of a side table? Fear not, Grilly Goat has come to the rescue with the Sauce Pot Caddy! This product clamps onto the handle of the American classic grill to provide a convenient holder that keeps your Sauce Pot, Basting Tongs, and spatula close at hand and the integral drink holder has proven to be most helpful during those tricky two handed grilling maneuvers.

To round out the current line of Grilly Goat products, Original and "Baaad" (hot & spicy) BBQ Sauces and Replacement Silicone Brush Inserts for the Basting Tongs are offered along with a fun, colorfully embroidered Chef's Hat & Apron Set which may just turn out to be your barbecuing hero's uniform of choice!

DV-GRIP

Sackso Enterprises, LLC announces two new and innovative products that will help make family road trips more fun and less tiring. The DV-Grip and the DV-Grip IR allow for fast, easy and secure mounting of portable DVD players into virtually any vehicle that has adjustable front seat head restraints. The DV-Grip IR incorporates infrared (IR) wireless headphone technology into this unique product for added convenience for both the front seat occupants and the viewing passengers.

"I designed these products out of necessity" explains Sackso Enterprises' founder Ed Spellman. "A couple of years ago I bought a portable DVD player to help make our road trips with the kids more enjoyable. Surprisingly, I couldn't find a product that offered a quick and easy means to mount the player in our Honda Odyssey minivan so that all the kids, even the one in the third row seat, could comfortably enjoy a movie. Our second car was an Audi A4, and I wanted a player mounting system that could be quickly swapped between the two vehicles. With these goals in mind I designed a mounting system that has evolved into the DV-Grip."

Most of the portable DVD player mounting systems on the market today are oversized carrying bags that convert to a mounting platform. The ones that loop over one of the front seats don't allow for screen angle adjustment which is important for proper viewing. They make it difficult for more than one person to view, and in small cars the viewer's knees can be up against the DVD player. Bag mounts that suspend between the two front seats put the player in a more central position for better viewing, but they are difficult to install and adjust. Also, they effectively block the pass through area between the two front seats which could be an issue when traveling with small children. The DV-Grip has none of the limitations that are inherent with bag type mounts.

With so many movie titles available on DVDs now, and the affordability of the disks and the portable players the DV-Grip and the DV-Grip IR make it easy to outfit your car, van, or SUV with a first rate video system that will allow for quality viewing while mobile. Connect a gaming system, such as a Playstation® or GameCube® to the portable DVD player and your vehicle becomes as entertaining as an arcade.

A portable DVD player can be used just about anywhere, unlike dedicated hard mounted vehicle DVD systems or bag type systems that are specifically designed for in-vehicle use. When you arrive at your destination, e.g. the hotel, vacation house, Grandma's, etc., the DVD player can be brought inside and used. Removal of the DVD system also removes the target of many vehicle break-ins.

Both the DV-Grip and the DV-Grip IR install and remove in seconds, no brackets to screw in to place or straps to clip and adjust. They are ready for use right out of the package; no assembly required. Upon removal, the DV-Grip's end hooks automatically retract to allow for easy storage. Because the DV-Grip fits virtually all vehicles with adjustable front seat head restraints, only one DV-Grip or DV-Grip IR is need for families with two or more vehicles.
