“The flavor from charcoal is so much better than gas,” says Pete Kindem, co-owner of the grilling site Original Grills. He explains that by including different types of wood chunks in with your coals, you can create distinct wood-y flavors and truly up your grill game. And because the food drippings “instantly vaporize,” adds Kindem, the smoke produced as a result enhances food flavors even more. For our top charcoal grill pick, we went with Weber’s Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill, due to the unit’s classic design, large cooking space, and low price for a grill of its size and quality....
“The two most common types of sheet weaves are percale and sateen,” says Byron Golub, director of product and merchandising at Saatva. “Of the two, percale is the more breathable option. Here’s the technical reason why: percale uses a one-yarn-over, one-yarn-under design. It produces a fabric with a matte finish that allows for excellent airflow between the threads.” To find the best percale sheets, our in-house testers evaluated more than a dozen different percale sheet sets at our lab in Des Moines....
Whether you’re thinking about a traditional ironing board, a tabletop board, or another option, the best ironing board or ironing surface provides a smooth spot to lay your clothes flat to achieve the best wrinkle and crease-free results. It should feel sturdy, not wobbly, and most importantly, it shouldn’t be difficult to fold up and put away. “A wobbly ironing board just isn’t safe, especially if you have small children around, because you don’t want a hot and heavy iron to fall on anyone,” notes Helen Sattler, owner of The Sassi Seamstress and head designer for True Earth Clothing....
Raking leaves manually can take a long time and a lot of elbow grease. With a good leaf blower, the job can be done in a fraction of the time. Sean Khandker, owner of InsideOut Gardening, Landscaping, and Maintenance Services, suggests choosing a leaf blower based on what you want to do with the leaves afterward. “Fallen leaves can really be useful as mulch,” Khandker says. “So if you want to nourish your flower beds or use the leaves in a compost heap, choose a leaf blower with a vacuum capacity and a collection bag....

Why Is There a Turkey Shortage? In the past several months, the USDA reported an avian flu outbreak. Nearly 50 million birds (including turkeys and chickens) have been infected and died on farms across 43 states. Yes, that’s nearly the amount of turkeys consumed on a single Thanksgiving. Since fewer commercial turkeys will be available this year, this is going to result in a price hike. As of right now, the price per pound of turkey (8 to 16 pounds) is $1....

It was everything I was searching for and more, and transformed my room into the island oasis of my dreams thanks to its wicker canopy and plush cushions. It is quite literally my favorite place to chill. The egg chair is 37.5 by 42 by 58.5 inches and weighs about 45 pounds, which I will admit was slightly larger than I had anticipated. It comes in a huge box with three main pieces to assemble....
The couple knew that Gail Plechaty, known for interiors with illuminatingly light palettes, was the designer who would massage the architecturally rich interiors into a state of timeless and breathtaking grandeur. They were right. Once a breezeway that connected Hefner’s side-by-side properties, the sitting room is dynamic with a stately antique secretary that is painted with green lacquer. While Plechaty finds every project that she designs memorable in its own way, this one was especially enjoyable due to clients who spoke her same design language....
