HF-917UB Ranger from Hi-Flame

Manufacturers are now making more contemporary stoves and fireplace inserts to appeal to consumers who prefer modern, sleek lines. These stylish hearth products are bound to add a wow factor to any room, while still providing cozy warmth. Most are energy efficient, clean-burning, and will add that contemporary flair your customers want.

The newest look in contemporary wood stoves has been introduced in the United States by Hi-Flame America, Inc. The beautiful pedestal designs of the HF-917UD Hispano and the HF-917UB Ranger boast the true look of European elegance. The Ranger also adds to the design a unique warming shelf, contained above the firebox. Enjoy the sleek look of black enamel or choose a traditional black painted finish.

This compact trim is perfect for customers refacing their fireplaces. You can now offer the option of a smaller trim that is more compact, highlighting the focus on the fireplace’s viewing area (and not the surrounding trim).

The Kamado Rocket from Galaxy Outdoor

Kamado cookers are quickly gaining popularity in the barbecue world. If customers haven’t experienced one yet, they will soon either at a friend’s house or a cooking demo. The kamado cooker is egg-shaped and has a thick ceramic wall. What makes kamado cookers great for smoking is their ability to maintain very low temperatures. This ensures that meats will be tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Most kamado cookers either use wood or charcoal fuel and they come in a variety of sizes.

Over the centuries, kamado cooking technology has evolved in many ways. Galaxy Outdoor has contributed to this evolution by introducing the first all-fuel (charcoal, wood, natural gas, and propane) Kamado Rocket smoker grill. This is a one-of-akind cooker that smokes, bakes, grills, and even serves as a pizza oven. The Kamado Rocket made its debut on October 27,2012 in Lynchburg, Tennessee, at the Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue Event, where it was awarded first place for the Best Chicken in the World. The Kamado Rocket is now used as part of Team Kamado Rocket, a touring professional barbecue group headed by pit masters Jennifer and Tommy Duncan, the first husband-wife team to compete on the hit television show “Chopped.” The Kamado Rocket is available in four sizes, with many color choices, and is 100% made in the United States, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Big Green Egg XXL from Big Green Egg

The Big Green Egg XXL is a culinary tool unlike any other. Chefs and backyard grillers alike will be astonished to see a stainless steel cooking grid that measures 29.25 inches / 74.3 cm in diameter for a whopping 672 square inches / 4336 cm2 of cooking area. Like all EGGs in the Big Green Egg family, the XXL Egg can handle virtually any cooking need, from cooking low and slow for hours to flash searing at ultra high temperatures. As fans have come to expect, the XXL accommodates numerous EGGcessories designed exclusively for the EGG — including a XXL Plate Setter — utilizing the full versatility of the EGG and making culinary possibilities endless. Its patented components and state-of-the-art ceramic technologies provide the best cooking results and will not deteriorate over time. And, of course, as the XXL is constructed from the same ultra high-quality ceramics as the other five EGG sizes, it comes with the same best-in-class limited lifetime warranty.

Looftlighter from Looft Industries

Most dads would agree that a grilling accessory is a much better Father’s Day gift than a tie. With Father’s Day just a month away, now’s the time to promote barbecue accessories as great gift items. The Looftligther, from Looft Industries, is hands down one of the best gifts for Father’s Day. It lights a charcoal grill or fireplace in 60 seconds without the use of lighter fluid, ignition cubes or other dangerous chemicals. This safe, clean and eco-friendly device is ideal for use on lump charcoal, Heat Beads® and hard wood, making it a great tool for lighting fireplaces and grills.

The Looftlighter from Looft Industries

“I think we have the world’s best product to light charcoal, briquettes and wood,” says Richard Looft, inventor of the Looftlighter, and founder of Looft Industries. Looft notes that the electric powered product is a very clean, safe and environmentally-friendly way to cook great tasting, quality barbecue. In Sweden (where Looft Industries is based) 10 million bottles of lighter fluid are used annually, Looft says. With the expansion of the Looftlighter, the use of potentially harmful chemicals can be drastically reduced. The Looftlighter is also easy to use and is especially popular with Green Egg and Kamado grill users because using lighter fluid with these products is not recommended.

More than 200,000 Looftlighters have been sold as barbecue and hearth fire lighters in more than 30 countries throughout the world.
