 Double Wall Stainless Steel Hood
A single wall BBQ hood is in direct contact with the interior heating environment of your grill. The same temperature of 600F and above used to sear your NY Strips, T-Bones, and Rib-Eyes, will also sear the finish on your new stainless BBQ. These temperatures will cause unsightly discoloration, and turn your beautiful outdoor kitchen investment into a brown disappointment. Our double-walled stainless steel hood adds a layer of insulation to trap heat inside your BBQ providing greater thermal efficiency as well as helping to provide long term beauty to the finish of your 304 Stainless Steel Grill.

 Seamless Hood Construction with Polished Accent Trim
Let's start with the polished accent trim. You may be thinking ...”OK, so it looks pretty,” But beauty and sanitation, in this case, go hand in hand. A polished 304 Stainless Steel Accent trim provides for easier cleaning and corrosion resistance to keep your grill in prime condition for years to come. It provides a surface that is capable of being sanitized without harboring harmful bacteria. The Seamless hood does not contain any metal folds or joints or hiding places where destructive acids can accumulate. Not only that, but your absolutely right as it also “looks pretty!”

 Infrared Ceramic Rotisserie Back-burner with Heavy Duty Motor, Spit and Forks
Ahh the Spit! One of the oldest forms of open fire cooking... it harkens back to the times of roasting our game over an open camp fire. There is something infinitely satisfying about watching a turning spit as it slowly and gently transforms the skin of a quail, pheasant, duck, or grocery store chicken into a succulent golden delicacy. Most common BBQ grills have a spit that turns over the open gas flame burning below. Good idea, but not great. Professional chefs have long known that the flareups caused by juices dripping from a roasting fowl can cause our food to burn. A hearty piece of red meat can withstand an occasional lick of flame and even benefit from it. More often than not, what we are roasting is delicate poultry for Thanksgiving, Christmas or some other occasion where a burnt bird could ruin the feast, as well as our culinary reputation! The Infrared ceramic back burner produces intense searing heat which helps lock in succulent juices and encapsulate the meat's natural flavors without the risk of damaging flare up. Now that's just smart cooking! For the demanding chef as well as the weekend warrior! Heavy duty motor, spit, and forks...Why, that's just good common sense!

 Integrated Temperature Gage
A high quality temperature gage will tell you a lot about what is going on inside your BBQ. Sure it reads temperatures, but it has it's limitations. We must always remember that the temperature probe is reading the temperature at it's own physical location inside the BBQ. The temperature of the surface of a steak 4 inches above an open flame will be vastly different than on the end of a probe 4 inches above that. Will you see that keynote 600F you need to sear steaks? Maybe. Maybe not. And that's OK. Your steaks are still being deliciously seared! A temperature gage is more of a benchmark instrument. It is a valuable assistant in determining the general temperatures occurring inside your grill, as well as indicating whether the tank or line pressure is normal, above normal or dropping. It will also indicate higher or lower based upon the outside air temperature. You may see 100 degrees of indicated temperature difference between Winter and Summer grilling with all other factors being constant. As a benchmark guide, you will get to know your grill and the temperatures you read under different grilling days and conditions. All to give you the confidence you deserve as an Outdoor Kitchen BBQ Master!

 Interior Halogen Grill Light with easy Access On/Off Switch
“Honey!...Where's the flashlight?” Now you open the lid and try to see what your free range tenderloin looks like under the dingy yellow light of your trusty “D” cell.

 Stainless Steel Flavor Grids with Even-Heat Briquettes
Welcome to one of the most treacherous questions in the Big BBQ Battle: “Which one provides the best resulting flavor...flavor grids or ceramic briquettes?” The answer is ...Yes! Both provide their contribution to the overall flavor of meat by stimulating the vaporization of juices that are absorbed by the meat we are cooking. They also help to provide even temperature distribution across the cooking surface. This reduces hot spots, cold spots, and the elusive “sweet spot” that is normally 4 inches wide, 6 inches long, and found 2/3 of the way from the back, but on the left side of center of the BBQ and kind of at a 30 degree angle toward the back corner...or, thats where it was last week! Ever to try to grill 4 steaks with only one sweet spot on the BBQ? I know which steak is mine! “How did yours turn out? Need a refill to wash that down with?” Even and equal heat distribution across the cooking surface combined with flavor stimulation... under the same 304 Stainless Steel Double Wall Hood...we're getting closer to perfection!

 Stainless Steel Main Burners
The cooking environment inside your BBQ is not only extremely hot, but is charged with acids as a byproduct of the foods we cook. Stainless Steel is a must. But not just any stainless steel. 304 Stainless Steel is what is needed. Be wary of of any BBQ constructed of “Surgical Quality Stainless Steel” that you will certainly see advertised by some manufacturers. It sure sounds great, and seems to inspire confidence in the product. Sounds to me like something a doctor might use! But, the key to having the greatest longevity in quality steel suited to the cooking environment, is full construction with 304 Stainless Steel. (Be sure to learn about this critical difference in the “304 Stainless Steel Grill Body” construction lesson.) You will also want a full 15,000
BTU
of thermal cooking power from each of your BBQ burners. This will provide you with the power necessary to sear raw meat...sealing in it's own natural juices as well as the marinades you prepare for them.

 Decorative Metal Heat Control Knobs
It looks really nice and ...Well, you really don't want a cheap plastic knob that will crack and break...do you? Of course not. Always look for highest quality materials in every part of your BBQ!

 Electronic Push Button Ignition System
Remember the metallic “Bang! Bang! Bang!” of the old piezo-electric pop-style ignitors? Boy, were they a welcome change back in the 70's! A lot of grills (even some with big names) are still being made with this old low end ignition system technology. You will want a powered ignition system, much like the reliable starters on your indoor kitchen gas range. A fully electronic system will consist of a spark generator, electrode ignitor, and use a “AA” battery for reliable spark production all year long. As the ignition is the most problematic system in any grill, your secret to long term reliability is maintenance. Clean the interior of your BBQ on a regular basis. Be sure that the ignitor mounting area is clean and properly aligned. A poorly aligned ignitor will still produce a spark, but if it is not in proper proximity to the gas emitting from the burner...”well, Houston, we have no ignition!”

 304 Stainless Steel Trim Flange
While placing raw meats on the BBQ, there will be uncooked juices that fall during that trip from the platter to the cooking grid, not to mention splatter that occurs as the flames initially kiss the meat, searing it, and convincing it to shelter and retain it's delectable juices. This is a good thing...but an even better thing is knowing that we can do a simple and easy clean up after we've poured the last of the Merlot!

 304 Stainless Steel Body Construction
Highest Grade available for applications requiring subjectivity to the temperatures found in food preparation, and more specifically, BBQ applications. In comparison to Surgical Stainless Steel, 304 is not as “hard”. The first impression is that surgical stainless steel must be good. And for surgical instruments, it is good as it will not flex easily and will keep an edge very well. But for applications of thermal cycling, it has a higher tendency to bend and twist. 304 Stainless Steel is used in a wide variety of applications that deal with the preparation and processing of food and consumable items such as beer brewing, milk processing and wine making. It's thermal expansion properties are superior to surgical steel for the temperatures required for grilling and searing meat. In other words, some grill manufacturers will try to use the term surgical steel in order to imply that you will be getting superior quality steel, but in reality it will cause your outdoor kitchen grill to buckle and warp. 304 Stainless Steel construction (and regular cleaning) is the only way to ensure long term endurance and beauty for your outdoor kitchen.
