Wiseway Pellet Stove AKA Gravity Feed Pellet Stove

10 Sep

gravity feed stove

The Wiseway Pellet Stove is a remarkable pellet stove that requires NO ELECTRICITY!  Are you one of those people who wouldn’t purchase a pellet stove because they don’t work in a power failure? Wait no longer, The Gravity Feed stove has no moving parts and will continue to run as long as you maintain pellets in the hopper. The simplicity of the design is what really sets this apart from it competitors. At 58,000 btu’s on high this pellet stove will heat up to 1,800 to 2,000 sq. ft. Pair this stove with a ECOFAN and you will have an unbeatable combination to defeat the cold this winter.

The Wiseway Pellet stove is available locally in Eastern Connecticut at www.hottubfireplace.com

If you are not in Eastern CT please see the gravityfeedstoves.com website for your nearest dealer.

Outdoor Cooking with Grills and Smokers

20 Apr
SearMagic Grates

SearMagic Grates

I have been fortunate to retail Grills and Smokers for the last 3 years. This has given me the opportunity to cook on some of the best equipment that is not found at the Big Box retailers. I retail some of the best brands – Kamado JOE, Green Mountain Grills, MHP and Broil King. I have cooked Ribs, Chicken of all configurations, Boston Butts ( Pulled Pork ), Pie, Pizza, Burgers to die for, Steak and Prime Rib. I have to say for a Gas Grill you can’t beat the MHP ( Modern Home Products ).  Made in the USA, Lifetime Warranty and cooking on Searmagic cooking surface is unbelievable. The MHP’s have great accessories including rotisseries, Cooking Tools, Baskets and Infrared Burners.

Kamado Joe is a ceramic grill that is made from High Fire Heat-Resistant Ceramics. These grills use ONLY lump charcoal or real wood. The ceramic holds in all the heat and keeps food moist while cooking. I have had great results using this type of cooker. In fact some of the best tasting pork came from this grill. I used the Kamado Joe lump and added a chunk of apple wood. Extremely yummy! One of the most delicious meals I recently produced involved a men’s night. I cooked 2″ thick New York Strip steaks first on the Kamado Joe to sear at 600° then finished them on the Green Mountain Grill at 250° for about 15 minutes. The guys eating these were almost drooling. Grills and Smokers of this type are found at fine retailers and specialty shops. Big Boxes can’t compete with these type of retailers, we take pride in knowing and using everything we sell. I have vast knowledge of the performance of everything I sell and most retailers also. If you’re in Eastern Connecticut stop by Long Pond – Hot Tub | Fireplace | Fence in the Plainfield, CT village of Wauregan and see these great grills and smokers. Always cooking on Saturday’s around lunch time.

Green Mountain Grill

Grillin’ Time – Green Mountain Pellet Grill

18 Feb

The Green Mountain Grills are absolutely fabulous. I have been cooking on these grills going on 4 years this April. I have seen these units go from basic small pellet grills/smokers with only Smoke/Med/High settings to the new units that have digital controls from 150°f to 500°f. Standard now is a meat probe that reads on the control panel the internal meat temperature without having to open your grill lid. Some other great standard features are the textured paint finish, all urethane green wheels, casters, low pellet alarm and fan only setting to blow the pellets out of the burn pot when you have completed your cooking. The grills come in two sizes –

GMG Daniel Boone

The Daniel Boone with 27X16 (432 sq. in.) stainless steel grate, and 13.5” clearance inside weighing 152 pounds and the Jim Bowie with stainless steel grate measures 37.5” X 16” (600 sq. in.) and the inside clearance is 13.5”. It weighs 183 pounds.

GMG Jim Bowie

Both grills have optional Stainless Steel Lids and Remote Control available. The peaked lid is unique to GMG and allows the cooking of Beer Can Chickens and Turkeys without the birds touching the lid.

As for the cooking – what can I say YUMMMMM! I have cooked everything from your standard baby backs, brisket, burgers, steaks and even PIE. The choices are endless and each one comes out perfect. Just the right amount of smoke and the best smoke ring. The recipes on the GMG site by Mountain Man Steve are all designed to be cooked on the GMG. It is great when people love a product, photos of great looking food cooked on the GMG are posted on Facebook pages and pellet grilling forums across the USA. The ease of cooking really good smoked food on the GMG is surprising, until you’ve done it you just don’t know. I do tastings regularly and once you eat the food you are hooked.

Appetizers

The Best Pulled Pork

The grills have a burn pot like a pellet heating appliance, but unlike a pellet stove the burn pot has a flash shield over the pot and a drip tray below the cooking grates. This setup protects your food and you practically can’t burn your food. The fan puts just the right amount of smoke into the grill and with a convection principle your food gets cooked.

Green Mountain Grills can be found at select retailers in the USA or at Long Pond – Hot Tub | Fireplace | Fence in Wauregan CT

BMT Brand Wood Pellets

16 Dec

BMT Brand Wood Pellets are the first wood pellets packaged in a Burlap Bag with Drawstring. This is putting renewable energy in reusable and environmentally friendly packaging.

BMT Wood Pellets @ Long Pond Ct

The wood pellets have been tested to have a BTU rating of 8250 btu’s and an ash content of .4 %. This is a good middle of the road pellet packed in a beautiful BMT brand burlap bag instead of a commodity grade synthetic bag.  BMT is looking to you, the consumer, to work with their selected dealers to recycle these bags. Simply put the bags aside until you purchase the next ton or pick up a few single bags at your retailer and return the bags. NO DEPOSIT is required – this is voluntary but highly recommended to return.

Customer feedback so far has been: “great looking bag, very easy to handle,  stack well, durable,  love the fact we can bring the bag back,  pellets are good quality,  relatively clean,  great idea”

Long Pond Hot Tub | Fireplace | Fence is one of the exclusive retailers of BMT brand Wood Pellets.
