european outdoor kitchen room

indoor - outdoor outdoor kitchen in europe

This article was sent to me from a traveller through Finland.

Why not get innovative with your new outdoor kitchen by looking to other parts of the world for inspiration!  Countries, such as Finland, which are accustomed to long and harsh winters but whose people love being in the outdoors and cooking together have gotten pretty creative with the way they set up their outdoor barbecues.  Grilling houses, also known as barbeque huts, are small wooden rooms built in one’s yard and characterized by a central grill and benches all around for a group to enjoy a nice dinner together regardless of the weather!  This cozy place is great for family time, a get together with friends, or a romantic escape for two.  Is it chilly out but you don’t want to be stuck in the house?  Well, build a fire and have some s’mores in your relaxing and beautiful little getaway!  Or, perhaps you can utilize your own charming cottage when it is just too hot outside for some shade.  Either way, this Finnish secret is now yours to build off of!

I thought a few of you may get a kick out of that.  As outdoor rooms become more popular here in the states I have more of our custom outdoor kitchen customers asking for some kind of gazebo, pergola, tiki hut, etc.

In Florida where we build custom outdoor kitchen grill islands and sell built in bbq grills and built in accessories we get some harsh weather.  Of course we make the news when a hurricane comes through but we also have calm days that pick up gale force gusts.  We lose a few tree limbs and our highways clog up with fear but the weather in Florida is tropical and sometimes unpredictable.  For that reason the “simple” outdoor rooms that make the design shows and magazines do not work here in Florida.  There are many places where archetectural foam can be used for columns and for cross pieces in gazebos and pergolas but a hurricane or gale force storm will ruin a structure built like that.  In florida we have to build a much stronger structure when we build gazebos and pergolas.  Tiki huts are built by the seminole indians and are secure.  However the hurricane laws that keep us safe in a bad storm also make the Florida outdoor room very expensive as a lot more concrete and steel

has to go into the ground to make the structure secure.

custom outdoor kitchen and tiki hut

Most of the custom outdoor kitchen grill islands we build here in florida are built up against the house so the overhang of the porch allows the home owner to continue grilling on the rain.  At my house I just do not grill in the rain.  I can see the idea in Finland because if I sit out a day or two for rain I do not go crazy.  If I had to sit out for six months of snow, I would have to move to florida.

The outdoor kitchen above was built away from the home on a poured concrete deck that already existed when we were commissioned to build the custom grill island.  We had to drill perfect holes in the deck to pour concrete in the ground for the tiki hut supports.  Once they were in the ground and perfectly “plum” we could construct the custom outdoor kitchen around the tiki support.  This provides a nice effect as the posts come up through the counter top of the grill island.  Each side of the outdoor kitchen is approximately sixteen feet long.

custom granite fabrication in outdoor kitchen to wrap the tiki hut support post

This image shows the countertop.  The important  detail about the counter is that when granite slabs are custom fabricated for an outdoor kitchen there are seams that are mortared with a special grout made for hardening like granite.  When posts are coming through the counter it makes these seams difficult to hide because it is obvious that the seam must allow the post to run through the counter.  In order to mask the obvious seams we notched the granite from behind so there was no seam in the front of the post where the chef and guests would see it.  Instead the notch left a gap behind the post, the width of the post which we fit with a small section of granite.  In this image the light makes the area behind the post slightly off color because of the shadow of the post.

The final outdoor kitchen is amazing.  The funny thing abut this particular outdoor kitchen job is that the customer came to me becasue of a job we did for her neighbor.  The neighbor built a gigantic mansion of a home in a lot that had been empty for many years.  There was an outdoor kitchen up against the house with a built in 30″ infrared Solaire gas grill and another outdoor kitchen and bar in the yard built under a gazebo that was a mini replica of the house.

This customer had to look into this amazing backyard every time they were in their own backyard.  They came to me to design something  large enough to hold the attention of their guests and provide a lot of grilling area and serving area.  There is a 42″ built in infrared Solaire gas grill with a combination tank drawer & utility drawers below the grill.  There are two refrigerators, a sink, built in insulated ice bin, a lot of counter space and a lot of storage space below.

The Ducane Products company started out as Ducane Brothers Metal Fabricating in 1946. The company moved three years later to Little Ferry, New Jersey, where they started making and selling warm air furnaces. They changed the name to the Ducane Company in 1968 and moved the base of operations to Barnwell, South Carolina. By 1975, after deciding that grills were starting to go downhill in design and quality, they started making their own line of Ducane Gas Grills.

• Ducane replacement gas grill burners
• Ducane barbeque cooking grates
• Ducane repair parts
• Ducane Briquette tray, heat shield
  

  A Ducane showing off its grates from the new models made by Weber

For thirty years, this company grew to be one of the highest quality and most popular grill brands in the United States. Their facility was state of the art, their grills made from the finest materials and considered superior in weather resistant materials. They only used the highest quality stainless steel, die cast aluminum and had a baked enamel finish. Each and every one of their gas grills were designed to stand up to the harshest weather conditions, and deal with the best barbeque recipes and flavor.

While most companies use stainless steel parts for their gas grills, Ducane used high quality stainless steel made in the U.S. Other countries, such as China, where many manufacturers get their products from, don’t produce the type of quality stainless useful outdoors for many years of grilling. Even though these grills may be cheaper, their low quality makes the grills less durable, won’t last the tests of time and their usefulness with grilling is diminished. Ducane only used only 304 stainless steel in all their stainless steel grill components. They also used a cast aluminum hood and firebox. While this material isn’t as nice looking, it often lasts longer than 304 stainless steel.

Duncane always used a double layer stainless steel tray for the briquettes that not only supported briquettes for conducting more heat at the grilling surface the briquette tray also acted like a heat shield with its offset openings distributing even heat. These were designed to offset the columns that supported the briquettes, and moved heat better through the box for a more even heat distribution.  Between the radiant heat and better distribution, an original Ducane gas grill stood out as a better heating and faster cooking grill than products that were on the market at this time.

Ducane briquette tray was double layered and offset for heat distributions and added heat for grilling on the original ducane grill parts

Ducane did make an older line of grills which was improved upon to create the legendary barbecue grills that made Ducane so popular.   They were the innovators for many of the parts that you see in other grills today like the warming racks which control the position of the food keeping it away from the actual cooking surface, yet still maintaining your items at hot temperatures.  The original Ducane cooking surface was wider than any other barbecue on the market and shaped convex at the surface to maximize searing temperature to seal moisture in grilled food.  Flavor is better when grills are designed to use barbecuing heat for searing the food not collecting dry heat trapped in the hood of the unit and overcooking the food with hot air.

Ducane original gas grill cooking grates were made for searing in moisture while distributing heat.

One of the biggest problems that many grills have is that the only way to check the temperature would be to open the hood; any heat that had accumulated would instantly be sucked out and if you were cooking a whole chicken or slow cooking some potatoes this would often mean longer cooking times. In order to solve this problem, Ducane gas grills came with a lid thermometer to keep a constant watch over how hot the inside is. While these may need to be replaced, they are very useful and convenient.  Not exactly an amazing development today but barbeque grills dod not always come with thermometers in the hood.

Another ground breaking innovation for the Ducane Gas Grill was the gas rotisserie back burner. These burners created a blue flame just below a series of stainless louvers, forcing the heat directly towards the rotisserie spit rod. While many products today incorporate an infrared burner for the back burner Ducane was the first to come out with this design.

As time wore on, many manufacturers continued making poorer quality products, using materials of poor quality that sold cheaper. Unfortunately for the Ducane family company many Americans were (are) buying cheap barbecues of poor design and inferior quality.  Ducane didn’t sell $5000. grills but they were not $100. barbecues either.  The Ducane family BBQ grills existed in between the very cheap and the very expensive gas grills. The company went bankrupt several years ago and was bought out by Weber in 2000. While you can still buy the Ducane brand name, the new Ducane gas barbecues are imported from overseas like so many other barbeque grills today and are not as high of quality as the previous models. The Ducane grills owned from the original manufacturing by the Ducane family are still in use and replacement burners, cooking grates, heat shields, ignitors and briquette trays are still available for repairs.

While the Ducane gas BBQ grill tagline of “Buy Your Last Grill First” may not mean the barbecues will last forever, they are still grilling having outlived the parent company.

This solaire infrared gas grill on a cart is SOL-AGBQ-42c

The advent of infrared heating helped businesses everywhere heat their stores and warehouses more efficiently and effectively.  The power of infrared heat is now in a grill form that is functional for residential homes thanks to Solaire Infrared Grilling Systems.  This company is an offshoot of Rasmussen Gas Logs and Grills.  Rasmussen is a family owned manufacturer founded in 1907 making fireplace tools.  Four generations later, Rasmussen is still creating fireplace tools, but offer a wide variety of other products.  These products include highly crafted gas logs, gas heaters, and of course infrared grills.

Solaire’s unique systems deliver high heat to lock in juices for more flavor in every bite.  These grills can preheat in 3 minutes.  With the quick and flavorful infrared burner grilling can become an every day event not just for weekends.  The secret of these grills lie within the infrared technology.  The infrared grill burner provides higher gas efficiency, has fewer flare ups,  is more convenient, and can provide the heat of charcoal grilling without the messy cleanup.  Infrared technology heats your food directly while other barbecues transfer heat in the air so all of the heat radiates directly to what you are grilling.

These models come from the store with many features.  Some of the features include folding side shelves, electronic push button rapid start BBQ ignitors and American made stainless steel construction with no mechanical fasteners.  Some models include rear infrared rotisserie kits and burners.   Solaire infrared grills can be retrofitted with a natural gas conversion which is included in every grill sold.  Additionally, there is a model for every use from several different portable infrared models to many sizes of portable cart grills and built in infrared gas grill heads.  The casual griller can opt to have the 27″ grill, the 27″ deluxe grill, the 27″ deluxe infravection grill or the 27″ deluxe infrared grill with rotisserie and the hardcore griller can get the 56″ with built in refrigerated cart.

These grills work so well that the Thanksgiving turkey was rotisserie last year.  To do this, turn on the infrared rotisserie back burner if available (if not, off-set the grill burners).  Spit the bird and balance the load.  Baste with olive oil and heat for  15 minutes to get the juices really flowing.  Take the BBQ pan and fill with water, or beer if you prefer.  This will act as a convection heat and turns the water into steam, basting the turkey automatically.  Refill the tray as needed, the goal is to get the bird to around 165 degrees on the inside.  The whole process should take about two hours and thirty minutes for a fifteen pound turkey.  This was a succulent turkey that is sure to please any amount of guests.

With a Solaire Infrared grill, the possibilities are endlesss.  Infrared burners are the pinnacle of grilling technology and all the major (read: expensive) steakhouses use infrared burner grills to sear steak and fish.  However, where the Solaire infrared gas grill is truly versatile is in the control valve/infrared burner design.  The design allows an infrared burner to be removed by simply pulling the casing free of a tension bracket.  Removed, the infrared burner can be replaced with a more typical barbeque convectional (blue flame) burner.  Although the valve design allows a Solaire infrared grill to be turned down to much lower temperatures than any infrared competitors, for really low heat the infrared burners can be removed easily replaced with blue-flame burners that barbeque well for beer-can oultry, smoking ribs or anything else that need 175 – 200 degrees.  This low heat is not possible with other infrared grill mnufacturers.

Kalamazoo Grill Parts.

Kalamazoo replacement grill burner

kalamazoo replacement grill cooking grates

Anyone who takes his or her grilling seriously is aware of the reputation that Kalamazoo grills have within the industry, as they are some of the most highly sought after products around. Many people wonder whether or not this reputation is justified since, at the end of the day, these grills cook meat in roughly the same manner as other grills on the market. These same people might argue that the popularity of these grills is purely based on a marketing gimmick, as they are given far too much credit. Upon reading multiple reviews, however, it is easy to see that Kalamazoo offers its customers that other grill companies could never dream of offering and that their spot at the top of this industry should be safe for some time to come.

The first reason why Kalamazoo grills are so great is that they have a number of customization options. When you purchase a grill from a store, you will have to take the grill as is, since there is no way for the retailer to make any adjustments. When you purchase a Kalamazoo product, however, you can have the grill built for you, which allows you to customize any number of different things. This is a dream come true for anyone who takes his or her grilling seriously, as you can turn your grill into your own personalized cooking station.

These Kalamazoo grills are made from 304 stainless steel, which is about as good as it gets in this industry. This material will stand up against all types of weather and wear, so you will never have to worry about it breaking down. Of course, you will want to keep your grill protected from these elements, as this is an expensive piece of machinery that you will want to have around for years to come. Another great addition to this grill is the cast stainless burners, which look great and are able to give off an incredible amount of heat.

As was mentioned before, it is possible to customize nearly any part of this grill, so it should come as no surprise that many people choose to include a smoker with their grills. Having a fully functional smoker on the side of your grill will allow you to cook things that you never thought possible before, which is one of the reasons why so many customers have been happy with these products.

The heat output of these grills is something special, as the primary burners of the top Kalamazoo model put out 100,000 BTUs. When you combine this with the other burners in various places, the highest end Kalamazoo grill has an output of 176,000 BTUs, which would be enough to empty a propane tank in less than two hours. Most people who purchase this level of grill go for the natural gas option, as the propane simply does not last long enough when cooking with this much power.

When it comes right down to it, everything from the hinges to the bolts are custom made just for your grill, which is definitely something special in this industry. It is even possible to have your name engraved on the grill with a laser, which is something that no other company offers their customers. The parts that are used by Kalamazoo are the highest quality available anywhere, so you definitely get a lot for your money when you purchase one of these grills.

Of course, the one negative about Kalamazoo is the fact that these grills can be incredibly expensive. The high end Kalamazoo grills cost around $12,000, so they definitely are not for everyone. When you factor in how much natural has it will take to run one of these grills, you are increasing your cooking expenses by quite a bit when you invest in one of these grills, so this is a decision that should not be taken lightly. This company has been making these customer grills for well over 100 years, however, so you can be certain that you will get your money’s worth should you take the plunge and purchase one.

There is a warranty in place under Kalamazoo, which covers most parts for one year under normal usage. All stainless steel objects are also covered under a lifetime warranty, so you will not have to worry about these products being defective or wearing down over time. All of the valves on these grills are also covered for five years, which is another great feature to remember. When you pay this much for a grill, you will definitely want to have some sort of protection against anything that could possibly go wrong.

Overall, these Kalamazoo grills appear to be the best in the industry, as they simply have features that other companies do not offer. The company also appears to be going quite strong, as they have impressed their customers to the point where they will always recommend Kalamazoo to their friends. Of course, the fact that they are making so much money from every sale they make does not hurt their business, but it can be difficult to make sales at that price, especially if they offered an inferior product. If you will be shopping for a new grill in the future and are looking for the best that money can buy, Kalamazoo is definitely a name to look out for, as there is simply nothing better. While many high-end companies end up being more of a marketing gimmick than anything, Kalamazoo is a name that is synonymous with quality and will make sure that you get your money’s worth on your next grill.

Being from the south, grilling is a way of life here. It is not just a weekend thing – we grill all the time. Food just tastes better prepared on the grill. Practically anything can be made on a grill if you know how. Using a variety of heat sources including charcoal, lava rock and wood will preserve and accentuate the flavor of the meat depending on what you are grilling.

One of my favorites is steaks on the grill.  Grilling is different from barbecuing in that grilling is done at high temperatures while barbeque refers to slower cooking and charcoal and wood for fuel and favor. Grilled steak should be started at high heat using charcoal to get the best flavor and then turned for the remaining cooking time until just a small section through the middle remains pink. Accompanying the steaks in aluminum foil are onions and mushrooms smothered in seasoning salt and Worcestershire. With a baked potato and a salad this is a favorite meal for just about anyone.

Another favorite best grilled over high heat is lamb. This is a favorite of many people although some do not know quite how to cook the lamb. Grilling time depends on the thickness. If your lamb is a thin cut it will not take long for it to grill. It only needs to be turned one time to allow the other side to cook.

The temperatures can reach over 500 degrees when grilling over a direct heat charcoal fire. Intense heat locks in the flavor and the moisture so grilled food just tastes better and does not get dry. Some grills, depending on what is used for the heat source, can actually cook at 800 to 1000 degrees, which is the best way to taste the difference in grilled food.

Only pork chops that are least an inch thick should be grilled over high heat. The thinner cuts will brown on the outside but the insides will be very dry. One of the ways of making pork chops tastier when grilling is to allow them to marinate in a choice of seasonings. One is a salt, sugar and water combination that can be enhanced even more with a dry rub after removing them from the liquid and placing them on the grill.

Some of the rubs are milder than others but the spices are present. Often Cajun or Creole spices are either a liquid type that can be brushed on the meat or a dry rub that can be put on before grilling. Creole seasoning is a combination of garlic, salt, pepper, onion, cayenne pepper, turmeric and paprika. The cayenne is sometimes adjusted for a hotter taste. It can be used on just about any type of meat from fish to beef.

Just about anything goes when it comes to seasonings for the grill. Onions, garlic, season salt and jalapeno peppers are popular for a variety of foods and they can be sprinkled on or mixed in – usually in home-made hamburgers – and the taste is great when wood smoke flavor is added. Cajun seasoning is a mixture of salt, garlic, chili, onion and bay powder paprika, basil and cayenne pepper. The taste is terrific, but if you are not used to spicy foods, you may want to adjust the hotter spices to suit your taste.

Another great dry rub is a Chipotle Dry Rub. This consists of a teaspoon each of cumin, dry orange peel and onion powder, one bay leaf, a tablespoon of dried cilantro leaves, two tablespoons of oregano, three tablespoons of black pepper and two dried chipotle peppers. Of course you can add extra peppers if you want the rub a little warmer. This can be used on any type of meat you want to grill.

The grills used for cooking all of this wonderful food are small, medium, large, smokers, propane, and top of the line to a barrel that has been cut in half and mounted on a frame. Newer infrared grills are perfect for high-heat grilling because the heat is instantaneous and there is nothing to conduct heat because it is radiant.  Grilling is a way of life in the south and it seems not to matter what kind of grill you are using as long as you have the food and the seasonings. And of course, someone to take charge of the grill is a must.

Video of Rasmussen alterna CS burner LP inside my store.

The video is dark and it is difficult to see the stainless steel CS burner, the crushed red fire glass and fire shapes but I really like the flame pattern on this CS burner by Rasmussen.  The design makes it easy to use in a fire place, indoor or outdoor fireplace and in a custom fire pit.  We have used this burner for a lot of vented gas log forplace applcations.  It is available in black or stainless steel and it has a great flame pattern.  The four walls allow the fireplace burner to hold lava rock or crushed fire glass easily and cleanly.  It is also easy to stack ceramic gas logs on the burner with or without using a fire grate.

Here are a couple of pictures of fire pits where we built in around this gas log burner.

New custom built fire pit in florida

This new fire pit was built in or ware house and delivered.  The contrast is so striking inside the fire pit because of the new eco-glass fire glass we have started using.

The RH Peterson fire pit kit is installed below the fire glass and the thermocouple and electronic ignitor are sticking up through the glass.

Definitely a good looking fore pit.

We just completed work on a pool with two fire pit bowl.  The fire pit bowls fill up with water and overflow into the pool.  The bowls will look like this fire pit but with bright orange eco fire glass.  So the bowls will appears to be very brightly on fire and over flowing water into the pool.  Very cool!

Big update here!  We have finally opened a new Retail storefront for our custom outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, fire pits, outdoor furniture and bbq grill replacement parts.  This particular location has been a grill and propane store for ver ten years but has been nadly mis-managed.  We came in to buy the store and ended up with an ownership deal with the current owner.

The first thing we did was take everything in the store and re-locate it to the

dipasquale custom outdoor kitchen with infrared built in bbq grill

out back.  New floors, new slat wall, all new displays and a coat of paint make a big difference.  The web site for the store is not complete yet but it will be http://www.grill-parts.net once I ave the time to get it written.

Right now we are working on a few custom outdoor kitchens and a few fire pits that we are custom building with a local pool contractor.

south florida custom outdoor kitchen

As it turned out both of the custom outdoor kitchen we built i May 2010 used built in infrared gas grills by Solaire.  The guys at Solaire gave us a ton of inventory to show their support for the new Retail location, including 15 gas log fireplaces!

We have several vented gas log fireplaces and several vented Alterna gas log fireplace.  We also have several ventless gas log fireplaces and several Alterna ventless gas log fireplaces.  The displays are really beautiful.  Although Florida is pretty hot for a gas log fireplace, we have always had good sales with customers who just love the ambience of a fireplace regardless of its practical application.  Gas logs are great because the homeowner has so much control over the timing, heat and safety indoors.

custom built outdoor gas fire pit with crushed glass fire.

We have also been custom building a few fire pits but only one is complete and ready to look at.  We used the R.H. Peterson FireMajic fire pit kit on this one and we are using the same fire pit kit on the others because they are so safe and simple to use.  This fire pit has  about 65 lbs of crushed fire glass inside and the inner fire pit ring is 36″ with a 14″ fire ring burner.  Although I would love to take credit for the floor, the pool contractrs dd that when they built the professional basketball court and wall of stone waterfall that flows over the waterslide.  It is an awesome backyard and I am proud to have had the opportunity to build a fire pit there.

The next custom fire pits you will se are the waterfall bowls we are installing.  Currently we’re awaiting inspection for the permit.  The bowls fill with water that overflows into the pool.  The fire ring fire pit burner is mounted just above the waterline within the bowl so the water appears to be on fire from outside the bowl.  Pictures should be ready by the middle of June

custom outdoor fire pit with custom H burner in granite slab with ledgestone

Our last fire pit is this rectangular one with a custom pan burner with an H burner mounted above a custom-fabricated slab of baltic brown granite.  We used the crushed red fire glass with this fire pit because it picked up the furniture and red accents in the floor.  Also the outdoor kitchen and outdoor bar we built in this backyard has the same dry stacked ledge stone so the other side of the yard seems to blend with the fire pit.  I have spent weeks in ocean side resorts that were not as nice as the backyards we build.

We have been custom building outdoor kitchens and outdoor fire pits for over 10 years and there is no one better in south florida.  Our current project is this one

new outdoor kitchen design

The homeowner changed her mind while I was picking up the deposit so this island will be finished with a custom-fabricated slab of granite and the outside perimeter will be finished with the same dry stacked ledge stone.  I will make sure to put the finished product online next week.

The new retail store is at:

Propane & Gas Grill Center 23269 State Road 7 Boca Raton, Florida 33428  and as always yo can reach us at Service@Grill-Repair.com or 888.346.6930 and 954-2-Grill-2.
