Canada Day and the Fourth of July are approaching, which means it’s time to fire up the grill, load the cooler, and make a few decisions that could determine whether your backyard party becomes legendary or a small insurance claim.

We start with a layered red-and-white Jell-O shot—add blue for the American version—before tackling how not to ruin burgers, chicken, and every other meat somebody confidently volunteered to grill.

Then Overrated/Underrated returns with the cookout edition. From coleslaw and baked beans to corn on the cob and watermelon, what's a must and what's a miss?

Dessert comes down to one question: Will it melt? Tanner explains how to source and safely use dry ice, along with one very cool trick that he explains how to do but, officially and more importantly legally, does not recommend. Finally, we build a backyard bar without a crime scene, covering batched drinks, hydration, responsible hosting and the highly unofficial hammock sobriety test for deciding when someone has had enough.
