The weather was great, the BBQ Food Entries were incredible and the competition was ferocious. Thank you all for making our little Backyard Challenge BBQ event bigger and better each year.

To ensure durability, ease of use and your satisfaction, we only carry top quality built-in grills and accessories made by the best manufactures; established in 1937 as the first built-in grill manufacturer, Fire Magic continues to build outdoor grills in Southern California that are the highest quality and the hottest grills on the market. Fire Magic uses only 304 commercial-grade stainless steel for its entire construction to make it superior in all weather conditions, even down to its cast stainless steel burners, which are covered by a lifetime warranty.

E790i-4E1N & FMA19-4B1N-0

The Fire Magic Echelon Diamond series has back-lit knobs and built-in halogen lamps for easy grilling at night. The optional Magic View window lets you see what you’re cooking without lifting the hood!

Fire Magic offers a full line of accessories to compliment and be seamlessly integrated into your outdoor kitchen including a variety of side burners, warming drawers and even vent hoods (for an enclosed kitchen), along with any combination of storage and access doors and drawers desired; Fire Magic also offers easy to install, pre-fabricated grill islands that take only minutes to assemble. Other top quality built-in grills that we offer include: American Outdoor Grill [AOG] (manufactured by Fire Magic), Broilmaster, Holland Grill and Weber; all of our outdoor built-in gas grills are available in either natural gas or propane gas (LP) configurations to best suit your needs.

Fire Magic also offers built-in charcoal grills, but our most popular charcoal grill here at the shop is the Big Green Egg.In 1974 Big Green Egg was established in Atlanta, GA and is the single company responsible for the popularization of kamado style cookers that has increased rapidly over the last few years. Don’t be fooled by imitators! Using a Big Green Egg, with its brilliantly versatile range, ensures astounding cooking qualities, credited to its overall design and exclusive heavy-duty ceramic walls (covered by a lifetime warranty).  Stay in and enjoy bread, pizza and much more, made on your very own brick oven! Where do all these components go? We’ve got you covered offering custom island building projects framed in galvanized steel or done entirely in masonry, either being finished to your liking; granite countertops add durability and value to your outdoor space.

All of these products will fit in perfectly with your grill island.

These premium fireplaces can be finished to show no visible metal for a true masonry look at a substantially lower cost!

To take your outdoor kitchen to the next level, add on an outdoor living space! We offer pergolas, arbors and screened patios to extend the open concept living space into your outdoor kitchen.

Charcoal Grilled Smoke-Roasted Chicken With Lemon & Thyme

Friday, May 21st, 2010

  

There is nothing that says comfort food more than a perfect whole roasted chicken.  It is a recipe of few and simple ingredients, but when a few techniques are perfected, the outcome is always delicious and satisfying.  lemon and thyme

 

The first thing to do is season the chicken well with lemon and thyme, which are perfect match for this recipe.  While seasoning the chicken, I also use a liberal amount of salt.  The second technique is to smoke-roast the bird rather than just smoking or just roasting in the oven.  Smoking at low temperature can produce rubbery skin, so I roast my bird over charcoal at higher temperature than I would use for just smoking.   I usually smoke-roast between 300 and 325 degrees.  I prefer to use my large Big Green Egg with a V-Rack and drip pan to catch all those juices to baste with while cooking.   

 

The third technique is to remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest before carving.  The chicken will stay plenty warm and will reabsorb all of the juices.  

 

If you are planning a party or entertaining outside, this is a great dish to prepare ahead of time and serve warm right of the grill. 

 

For the Chicken:

 

1 (4 to 5 – pound) chicken, rinsed and patted dry 

 

For the Seasoning: 

 

2 cloves garlic, chopped

thyme sprigs

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

½ teaspoon red chili flakes

2 lemons

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil + some to drizzle at the end

1 teaspoon fresh black pepper

1-tablespoon salt, preferably kosher or sea salt

Butchers twine   
 
 lemon chicken

Place inside the chicken ½  tablespoon of the salt, chili flakes, garlic, and thyme sprigs.  Squeeze the juice of one lemon inside the chicken and place the halves of the lemon inside the bird.  Use the butcher’s twine to truss the chicken so it cooks evenly.  Squeeze the juice of the second lemon over the outside of the chicken.  Then rub the out side with the olive oil.  Use the remaining salt, pepper and chopped thyme to season the outside of the chicken and place in a roasting rack. 

 

Preheat a Big Green Egg, Weber Kettle, or other charcoal grill to medium heat building the fire on one side of the grill with the temperature reaching 325 degrees. Place the chicken on the grill with the drumsticks closest to the direct heat, as they will take a little longer to cook.   

 

Cook the chicken for 1 ½  to 2 hours or until the chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.  Remove the chicken to a warm platter and cover with aluminum foil.  Allow the chicken to rest 10 to 15 minutes before carving to allow all of the juices to be reabsorbed. 

 

Carve the chicken into serving pieces and drizzle with a little more lemon juice and olive oil.   

 

The Hearth and Grill Shop is your Super store for Charcoal Grills and both natural and propane gas grills.  Come by this Saturday to see The Best Charcoal Roasted Chicken recipe in action as we cook on a Big Green Egg.

The Best Cuban Sandwich Charcoal Grill Style

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

 

While the Chef at a local restaurant, where we served a delicious Smoked Double-cut Pork Chop for dinner, I found that after we had smoked whole pork racks, we always had ends and pieces that could not be served as an entrée.  This lead to some innovative ways to utilize this premium corn- fed, smoked pork.  One of the best uses was in a Cuban Sandwich, which normally includes slow roasted pork, ham, pickles, and Swiss cheese on Cuban bread – all pressed together on a griddle to make the bread crusty on the outside and gooey and cheesy on the inside.  The sandwich ended up being so popular that we would smoke extra pork loins everyday to keep up with the Cuban sandwiches. 

cuban-sandwich

Making a Cuban Sandwich, Miami in the 60's

 

The actual recipe for assembling the sandwiches really will have to be determined by your taste buds.  I go heavy on the mustard on both the top and bottom of the roll, because the mustard brings out the flavor of the pork.  Ultimately – how the sandwich is stacked is more important than the quantity of any one ingredient. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the Pork Loin:

 

1 Pork Loin, 3 to 4 pound average

1Tablespoon, olive oil

Your favorite Dry Jerk Seasoning blend or blackening spice, we like Dizzy Pig’s Jamaican Firewalk seasoning.

 

Preheat a Big Green Egg, Weber Kettle, or other charcoal grill to medium heat building the fire on one side of the grill.  Brush the pork loin with the olive oil and then season liberally with the seasoning. Place the pork loin on the grill opposite from the charcoal and smoke-roast the pork loin indirectly.  Cook until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees.  Remove from the grill and allow to cool to room temperature until carving.

 

For the Sandwich:

Use your favorite bread & mustards and make it your own!!

Use your favorite bread & mustards and make it your own!!

 

8 Cuban Bread rolls or Hoagie Rolls or Baguette cut into 6” pieces                 

Dijon Mustard

Slices Swiss cheese

Bread and Butter Pickles, some for the sandwiches and some to eat

Deli Ham, your favorite

Salt and Fresh ground pepper

 

Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.  Split the roll in half.  Spread the mustard on the top and bottom of roll.  Place a layer of cheese, pickles, ham, pork – seasoning the pork with salt and pepper, and then another layer of cheese (the cheese glues everything together).  Wrap in aluminum foil and place on the grill.  Use a brick wrapped in aluminum foil to act as a weight to press the sandwich down.  Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes and remove from the grill.  Good Eating!

 

          Come by The Hearth and Grill Shop this Saturday to sample this delicious recipe, to check out all of our seasonings and rubs, to see a Big Green Egg in action, and to see our entire selection of gas and charcoal grills.
