Cool down your cook-out

Creating a comfortable outdoor living area can be a challenge. So often, the delicious smell of the barbecue brings with if the nuisance of a smoke-filled patio, while warmer weather attracts all sorts of annoying insects that buzz around the deck. The Holmes Group, Milford, Mass., offers a stylish solution--the new Outdoor Patio Fan ($99.99). By keeping the air around your patio or deck circulating, you can create the ideal outdoor living space.

The weather-protective ToughGuard finish resists the elements, allowing this fan to stay outside from spring's first shower right through the dog days of summer. Moreover, its wrought iron base and classic design complements any outdoor decor. Three breeze settings and an oscillation feature help create a comfortable atmosphere, whether you're cooking out with company or just relaxing in the sun. Make your own refreshing breeze outdoors--even when Mother Nature refuses to!
