MAY 2013 HOMES PLUS 4 Host best-ever cookout By Jody L. Mayers SPECIAL TO HOMES PLUS WAUKESHA – Are you a die-hard barbecue aficionado? Do you stand outside in sub-zero snowy weather grilling steaks, burgers, or bratwursts during Packers' halftimes? Are you in the market for a new grill? Russ Schneiderwent, manager of Lorleberg True Value in Oconomowoc, said while charcoal grills remain popular the store still sells more gas grills. "Weber is one of the top brands out there and we carry the entire line except New grills offer unique features, tastes for the build-in versions," he said. The cost can vary tremendously when it comes to grills, with a range of $30 to $1,300 for charcoal grills and $399 to $4,500 for gas grills, Schneiderwent said. "When you buy a gas grill, we include setup, delivery and carry away of old models," he said. Schneiderwent said if properly maintained, you should be able to get at least 20 years' life span out of a grill. He said when it comes to buying a new grill, quality matters.

Many of the new features that Weber has included in its gas grill line feature knobs on the front versus the side, stainless steel grates, an insulated hood on the one of the models and an electronic ignition switch, Schneiderwent said. "I have people come in here all year to buy grills," he said. "It's not just a summer seasonal item here." Geri Toshner, store manager of Swimming Pool Services in Waukesha, said the store has been carrying The Big Green Egg, a ceramic cooker, for the past 10 years. The grill is derived from the ancient clay-cooking device known as "kamado," originally a clay vessel with a lid. The modern-day Big Green Egg is a very versatile, stylish, all-ceramic cooker that affords people the unique ability to grill, smoke or even bake in it, Toshner said. "The patented air flow controls allow adjusting to exact temperatures so smoking your favorite ribs or brisket recipe is a breeze because temps stay low for hours on end without adding pans of water or putting in additional lump hardwood," she said. "Grilling simple burgers or brats are the juiciest and most flavorful since the thick ceramic locks in flavor and juices unrivaled by gas grills." Toshner said searing steaks is a snap because the Big Green Egg can quickly 1831 /130 7271 IN 9 ber.com P we first EAGLE: HOME TO FOX CHASE? You WANT: 2BR+Mstr Suite?
