Outdoor Cooking with Grills and Smokers

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.

Grillin’ Time – Green Mountain Pellet Grill

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.

GMG Friends

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

Pro Fab Empyre Elite 200

New to the Pro Fab line of Gasification Wood Boilers is the Empyre Elite 200. The Empyre Elite 200 delivers all the comfort and convenience of conventional furnaces while protecting the environment. The 200 accepts wood length to 25″ with peak output of 200,000 BTU’s, this output will heat up to approx 4,500 sq ft.  The Elite 200 is an Indoor High Efficiency Wood Gasification Furnace that can heat many types of heating systems, from Radiant, Hot Water Baseboard, Hot Air Ducted with a water to air exchanger, or a Hydronic Air Handler.

Epmpyre Elite

The Empyre gasification boilers are open systems and the advantages are:

– the burning of the wood in the unit is controlled and can be stopped and restarted by the amount of air going into the burn chamber.  So consider the loading chamber as a hopper.

– Controlling the burn means no need for a water storage tank

– When there is a power outage the unit has enough water on board to absorb  the heat of the fire as it goes out, when the blower shuts down .

-No need for a dumpzone, wild loop, expansion tank, water feeder, auto fill system, back flow preventer or stand by power system.

– After the power is restored to the unit in most cases the fire will restart on it’s own. If there was fuel in the unit when the blower shut off, the unit will relight after hrs of laying dormant because of a power interuption or if the thermostat was satisfied.

Empyre and Pro Series Wood Boilers by ProFab

The ProFab Industries line of indoor and outdoor wood boilers are setting the standard in the industry. ProFab offers the Pro Series 100, 200 and 400 outdoor boilers and the Elite 100 indoor and soon the 200.  ProFab strives to produce a quality product at a fair price. The Empyre and Pro units are simple and straight forward to operate. The burn times are up to 12- 14 hours and the ash after a winter of burning only equates to about (3) 5 gallon pails.

Pro Fab is committed to protecting the environment by continually striving to increase efficiency and reduce emissions in all of their alternative energy furnace and boiler models.

Empyre Elite 100

Empyre Elite and Pro Series wood gasifier furnaces combine high efficiency heating technology and low emission smoke free combustion with a readily accessible and renewable fuel to make wood the heating choice of the future.

Our Empyre Elite and Empyre Pro Series wood gasifier units can reach temperatures of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. At these temperatures, both the wood and the gases released from the wood are burned. This significantly lowers emissions, prevents the buildup of creosote and reduces ash output. Wood gasification occurs in the secondary burn chamber; by utilizing this technology the ProFab models have an emissions level of .24 lb/mBTU which qualifies them for the EPA White Tag. The secondary burn chamber uses a downdraft system, allowing the water temperatures to remain constant and heat on demand.
