Love good times by the fire on a chilly night? Want to enjoy a few drinks in a toasty spot after a long day at work? Of course, we all do. But throwing some logs in a pit in the ground doesn’t quite do it. If you want a cozy evening, Big Green Egg brings the wow Buy at Outdoor Home of a special Chiminea to celebrate 50 years in business, and it will take your gathering around the fire to a whole new level.

Big Green Egg has been the go-to for outdoor grillers and smokers looking for an outdoor cooker for decades. But if you want to hang out in the fresh air without cooking, the Chiminea is what you need. Freestanding fireplaces aren’t new, and Big Green Egg isn’t trying to reinvent them. The vintage version from 1999 is the starting point, with upgrades worthy of a 50th anniversary.

What’s cracking with this egg

If it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right? But even the littlest changes will make something feel fresh. For those who aren’t the best at starting a fire and keeping it going, the Chiminea comes with Lava Rocks to keep the flames roaring more evenly and for longer. Made from NASA-grade ceramic, the quality isn’t something to worry about, either. And, yes, it’s still in that gorgeous, signature deep green color. 

The egg shape isn’t just for show but serves a crucial purpose. The design keeps smoke from going anywhere near your face. No more fighting to switch seats when the wind catches the fire pit smoke. Looking to the bottom, the legs give the option to put it anywhere. We love a portable item. Front yard, backyard, side yard — or any spot that isn’t wood. As long as you don’t fire this up on a wooden deck, gather around this warm egg anywhere you want.

Big Green Egg wants to make your nights as toasty and comfortable as can be — for a limited time. This special 50th-anniversary release is only happening through the fall, and you’ll want yours before winter hits. 

The catch is you can’t grab one anywhere. You have to visit a seller of Big Green Egg merchandise, so see where the closest one to you is. A place to start is a nearby Ace Hardware. If you don’t want to do all that, Big Green Egg is hosting a contest to win one Chiminea for you and one for a person of your choosing. We love gifting.

Call friends, make plans, and see where a Chiminea from Big Green Egg could take your night. Or don’t tell anyone you have one to get the delicious heat all to yourself. However you plan on spending your evenings, Big Green Egg is there to help keep things burning.

Bottle, Whiskey, Glass

Four Roses has announced the release of its 2026 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon next month — and this year’s batch reaches back further than any prior release, blending bourbons aged 14 to 23 years.

The new blend from the Lawrenceburg-based distillery combines four hand-selected batches across three of the distillery’s ten recipes: 14-year-old OBSK, 14-year-old OESK, 15-year-old OESV, and a 23-year-old OESK. It’s non-chill filtered and bottled at barrel strength, 109.2 proof.

The Gold Room Is Peak Gilded Age New York Glamour
Altar, Architecture, Building

As a New England WASP, I probably have a hereditary fondness for grand old rooms. My Boston Brahmin forebears, after trading religious zeal for mercantile ambition, liked nothing better than sipping claret, playing whist, and smoking cigars in their clubhouses on Beacon Hill. In private quarters adorned with mahogany paneling, maritime paintings, and marble fireplaces, my flinty ancestors chortled deep into the night—safely removed from wives, papists, and, God forbid, Yale men.

Since moving to New York City, I’ve delighted in finding bars that feel like clubhouses frozen in the Gilded Age. The Campbell in Grand Central comes to mind. The Rose Club at the Plaza. Although much newer, the Polo Bar gussies up the blue-blood clubhouse aesthetic with fabulous fare, a trophy-laden wine cellar, and an ultra-exclusive mystique. But the apotheosis of robber-baron extravagance is The Gold Room at Lotte New York Palace.

Classic lagers to drink if you want your beer to “taste like beer”
Pilsner Urquell

When you think about the flavor of beer, what do you imagine? To me, it’s a crisp, refreshing, no-frills lager. The type of beer you’d just as likely crack open on an unseasonably warm spring day while grilling as you would after an afternoon of mowing the lawn on a hot, hazy, humid summer day. It’s light, refreshing, and tastes like beer.

That’s not to say that there isn’t a place for chocolate- and coffee-centric porters or boozy, barrel-aged stouts, or even tart, lip-smacking sour beers. There is a time and place for those and many other styles. It’s just that sometimes I want to crack open a beer and not taste an explosion of tropical fruit juices or get bashed in the head with malts or oaky wood. I want a beer that tastes the way I imagine it should. Specifically, I’m thinking about a balanced, thirst-quenching lager.
