It also analyzes the booming market for barbecue grills (gas, charcoal, electric, and hybrid) and a number of other popular outdoor accessories, from coolers to firepits.

The report examines in detail the trends affecting market size and growth and offers sales projections through 2008. New product trends are covered in each category, and major competitors are profiled—including Barlow Tyrie, Inc., Syroco, Inc., and The Coleman Company, as well as specialty manufacturers such as Trivest, Inc., Weber-Stephen Products, and O.W.
