The Fulham Group will be exhibiting the Cuisinart Petite Gourmet Portable Gas Grill with VersaStand at the 2011 National Hardware Show this month. The grill is compact and can easily be transformed from a floor stand position to a tabletop grill. While the size is compact, the grill is large enough to cook most family meals, including 8 steaks or 6-10 chicken breasts. With the VersaStand integrated adjustable telescoping base, this grill is ideal for small backyards, beach cookouts or camping trips. The grill also heats up quickly, and uses far less gas than a full-sized grill. For more information, visit www.cuisinart.com.

If every home in America replaced just one standard incandescent light bulb with a compact florescent light bulb, it would save about $600 million in annual energy costs and prevent emissions of greenhouse gases equivalent to about 80,000 cars. The patented Evolution CLFs by the Aero-Tech Light Bulb Co. are a great start. The bulbs will be exhibited at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas. Available in soft white or full spectrum, these bulbs emit the same light as regular incandescent bulbs with less radiant heat. They are also the same shape and size as standard incandescent bulbs but last 10 times longer. To find out more about the Evolution CLF, visit www.aerolights.com.
