Big Green Egg has partnered with Combustion Inc. on some new temperature products. I like the partnership because it brings some of the best thermometers on the market to the iconic Kamado brand. You can pre-order the wireless thermometers now, and they'll be releasing a Giant Grill Gauge.
Middleby is working on spinning off their Food Processing business and is rumored to be actively selling their
Residential business where grills sit. To help with that process and their overall strategy they've added an SVP, Investor Strategy and Corporate Development.
Consolidation is continuing in the hardware retail space. Great Lakes Ace Hardware has acquired an additional store in Michigan. This brings their store count over 75 stores.
Finally, Kingsford has released Slow Burn, a charcoal fire fragrance. It's their latest marketing partnership with Jason Kelce.
You can get the limited edition fragrance starting on November 3rd.
