A good meteor shower night is mostly patience. Find a dark spot, give your eyes 20 to 30 minutes to adjust, and avoid your phone screen. Use a red light if you need to see.
Snacks should be quiet, easy to eat with one hand, and not messy. Resealable jerky bags are perfect: no plates, no cooking, no cleanup in the dark.
Our Whiskey BBQ (codename Space Warrior) is a mild, smoky-sweet pick that pairs well with a thermos of something warm.
