When it comes to going out and enjoying the outdoors, there’s nothing like spending a day at the beach together with your family and friends. While spending a day at the sea-side can be great to re-energize yourself by breathing the fresh sea-air, there are still a few different ways to make the experience more enjoyable and ultimately make that day much more memorable. One way would obviously be to bring along a portable sound system to blast out some tunes that you can then enjoy together with your loved ones. Another way would be to assemble a fire-pit that everyone can sit around at the end of a long and well-spent day at the beach, where you can then roast some marshmallows, grill some hotdogs, and even enjoy the coziness of your fire pit’s blazing flames. With all that said, if you’re looking to make the best out of your days at the beach, there’s one unique and super-innovative gadget that can give you the best of both of worlds. Meet the Ukiah Tailgater II.
The Ukiah Tailgater II is a portable fire pit that comes equipped with a built-in 2.1 100 Watt (12V) Sound System that integrates two 3.5 inch Speakers and one Subwoofer for incredible sound quality.
Featuring Wireless Connectivity via Bluetooth and 4 different Operation Modes, the Ukiah Tailgater II can be used either as a standalone fire put, as a portable sound system, or ultimately, with both functionalities combined.
Best of all, it’s special Operation Mode – called the “Beat to Music” (BTM) Mode – works by synchronizing its fire pit’s flames to its blasting music, which works thanks to its innovative “Reactive Flame Technology”. With this “Beat to Music” Mode, you can have the Tailgater II’s flames from its fire pit dancing in perfect harmony with its played music, and this jaw-dropping functionality should definitely make the whole experience much more enjoyable.
So, let’s have a more detailed look at the Tailgater II and check out everything that both its integrated fire pit as well as its 2.1 100 Watt (12V) Sound System have to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the unit’s size, the Tailgater II comes at a fairly compact size, as its design is mainly focused on portability and usability, with the whole unit measuring just 14 inches long by 14 Inches wide by 17 inches tall.
In addition to its compact size, the Tailgater II also features an extremely durable and ultra-rugged construction throughout its entire Powder-Coated Steel Body, with the whole unit weighing exactly 34 lbs.
Now, the Tailgater II also features a minimalist design, as it comes portraying a very simple and discrete look throughout its whole steel body that ultimately allows the device to perfectly match the surrounding environment(s) of any outdoors location you might be planning on exploring.
Moreover, its ultra-durable Powder-Coated Steel Body also makes the unit’s outer-shell completely Water-Resistant.
At the side of the unit, we also have a set of Cut-Out Carrying Handles that make the process of transporting and carrying the device around much, much easier.
Then, right at the top-side of the unit, we have its integrated Fire Pit, which works based on a set of high-end Stainless Steel Burners.
Not only that, but the Tailgater II also comes together with a dedicated Magnetic Cover that can be used to keep the lumps of coal within its integrated Fire Pit from getting wet, whether its raining or snowing.
It’s also worth noting that its Fire Pit’s flames are powered by an Electric Starter.
Last but not least, at the back-side of the unit, the device also features a Quick-Connect Adapter that ultimately allows the Tailgater II to be used with a 20 lbs. LP (Liquid Petroleum) Propane Tank.
AUDIO SPECS & AUDIO QUALITY
Now, let’s talk a little about the Tailgater II’s Sound System. The unit’s built-in 2.1 100 Watt (12V) Sound System is composed by a set of two (x2) 3.5-inch Marine-Grade Speakers, for which each side of the device comes equipped with one of these 3.5-inch Speakers (one at the left-side and one at the right-side).
The Tailgater II’s Dual 3.5-inch Marine-Grade Speakers also work in combination with a single, yet fairly powerful Subwoofer.
All and all, the Tailgater II’s built-in 2.1 100 Watt (12V) Sound System can offer you an outstanding sound quality, with the treble (the high-notes) always present, as well as the mids (mid-range sounds) always being accurately played and represented, and the same goes for its ultra-satisfying bass (the low-range sounds), which is extremely punchy, and that’s all thanks to the integration of its Subwoofer.
INTERFACE / CONTROL PANELS
Now, for the unit’s Interface, we have two (x2) very simple Control Panels.
At the front-side of the unit, we have a Fire & Music Button (for starting and stopping the Tailgater II’s Beat to Music (BTM) Mode), a Stainless Steel Volume Dial, and a On & Off Power Button.
Then, sitting at the back-side of the device, we have its dedicated Rubber Padded Stainless Steel Flame Control Dial, which not only can be used to either set its flames Off, or to burn with a Low intensity or High intensity, but it can also be used to set its flames to work to the Tailgater II’s dedicated Beat to Music Mode in order to have them dancing in perfect harmony with your selected tunes.
As a reminder, the Ukiah Tailgater II can be set to work in one of four (x4) different Operation Modes, which are: Music Mode, Fire Mode, Fire and Music Mode (not synchronizing with each other), or Beat to Music (BTM) Mode (for which its Fire Pit’s flames will be perfectly synchronized with its blasting music).
CONNECTIVITY
For its Wireless Connectivity, the Tailgater II relies on the use of Bluetooth Connectivity, which allows you to have a wireless connectivity with a maximum range of 60 ft.
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
Lastly, this device also comes equipped with a Custom Rechargeable Battery that’s used to keep its built-in 2.1 100 Watt (12V) Sound System powered up, for which its battery can offer you up to 30 hours of battery life.
