THIS IS NOT YOUR FATHER'S GRILL
The current line-up of outdoor appliances has become much more affordable and efficient than you may think. Remember the good ‘ol charcoal grill and stinky lighter fluid our dads would use? "A little rust on the grill adds to the flavor!" he would say.
Well, today’s outdoor grills resemble a set from Star Trek. With "green" technologies like infrared cooking and natural gas piped directly to your grill, cooking outside has never been easier. For the price of a new deck and some modern outdoor kitchen appliances you can install new or work with a remodeling contractor to convert an existing patio for a fully equipped summer kitchen that will have you, your family and friends spending quality time together outside. Outdoor cooking is so user friendly now that you may want to spend all your time cooking outdoors! A summer kitchen will enhance your family life and the value of your home, especially when it comes time for resale. This makes it one of the most rewarding home improvements, and you can conquer it on a realistic budget.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES
Believe it or not, there are new technologies available today that completely change the game and enhance what you might have never thought possible or practical with outdoor cooking. You might not be aware of the recent advances in grilling and outdoor cooker technology that make them easier than ever to use, more energy efficient and longer lasting (some brands come with a lifetime guarantees from the manufacturers).
NEW INFRARED GRILLS GO HIGH TECH
Today’s grills are more energy efficient, and faster cooking. Searing locks in flavor and creates a longer life of the burner. Pioneered by TEC grills, now available in virtually every other manufacturer* of grills, infrared burners are becoming all the rage for outdoor kitchens and BBQ grills. Infrared cooking not only saves you money by using less gas to heat the coils, they also give you a more even and hotter cooking surface to make it safer and easier to cook. We all know the dangers of microorganisms that can spoil your meat prior to and during outdoor grilling. High heat and longer duration cooking times are required to kill these dangerous bacteria. On a traditional grill this requires turning up the flame to high and apologizing to your guests about the "blackened" Cajun look. With the newest technology in grills, infrared allows you to cook on a higher heat without burning your food. Infrared grills evenly distribute the heat to stainless steel radiators that evenly cook your meat and vegetables, and even allow "Searing" at higher temperatures to lock in juices and flavors without burning.

CREATE A GREAT OUTDOOR SPACE
Stainless steel drawers, cabinets, wine coolers, a small fridge and bun warmers extend your home kitchen to the outdoors. Finish off the area with stylish outdoor dining furniture, or even casual living furniture like an inviting sofa or chaise lounge placed strategically in front of a soothing gas fire pit. Add some upgraded landscaping or even just a few potted plants to complete a peaceful outdoor living space.
GRILL LIKE GOURMET CHEF
Cooking outdoors is fun and delightful on a summer day. An added bonus is the quality and taste of food can be dramatically enhanced by specific grilling techniques and rotisserie style cooking. Grilling is not just for restaurants and fancy chefs anymore. It’s for anyone who has ever dreamed of being able to cook your family dinner while enjoying the great outdoors! Think of all the wasted, valuable space in your back yard that is being underutilized. A summer kitchen combined with a new deck can add value to your home and your family life!
