From robot vacuum cleaners and sensor-activated faucets to solar-powered lights and voice assistants, the technology currently available to improve your home is getting better each day. When it comes to entertaining, this couldn’t be more true, as there are a breadth of possibilities beyond a screening room or a pool table, especially when it comes to upgrading an outdoor space. Anyone can throw a backyard barbecue, so here is your list of high-tech features to take yours to the next level.

 

A staple of outdoor entertainment is a grill, and in the Traeger Timberline, you’ll find a premier backyard cooking solution with high-tech features guaranteed to impress your guests. Marrying modern technology with classic cooking technique, the Traeger Timberline is fueled by wood chips and can be controlled from anywhere using the grill’s WiFire technology. You can adjust and monitor temperature, smoke, cooking cycles, and more via a smartphone app, which allows chefs to mingle with guests and enjoy the party rather than obsess over checking the grill. Downloadable recipes enable you to preprogram the grill to cook autonomously and duplicate great results every time.
