 Gadget of The Month
This may sound like a no-brainer but I can't tell you how many customers I've talked to who have gas appliances in their homes and no CO detector present. This shouldn't only be priority if you have gas logs, any home with gas should have one of these. We sell them, and so do many stores. If you don't have one, count this as another 'to do' on your list. You may just thank me some day.

Central Ohio Home and Garden Show 2012
|
 Has it been a year? Man, it sure doesn't feel like it.
This year we decided to set our booth back in the Celeste Center, also known as the side with all the landscaping, as we feel our spring products like MHP and Big Green Egg fit better in an outdoor environment, even a faux one.
The show starts on Saturday, February 25th and runs through Sunday, March 4th. For further dates and times click on the Columbus Dispatch link here:

Of course you will see the same familiar smiling faces, Rob, Justin, Aaron and myself. Heck, we may even let Brett out of the basement long enough for a visit, but only if he promises not to bite.
All kidding aside, come down and pay us a visit, register to win a grill, and get the latest scoop on the newest products available for your new Spring project. Whether it be a patio that needs a grill, a front yard in need of some light, or a fireplace in need of remodeling or upgrade, we've got the products and the knowledge to make it happen.

| Join Us On The Interwebs!!!! |
 In order to expand our availability and contact with our loyal customers we have joined the ranks of Twitter and established our very own channel on YouTube.
The YouTube channel will be a fun and informative site with tips on grilling and fireplace operations. Highlights from our cooking classes, the Buckeye Barbeque Battle, and other events will be available as well. Of course, we would be remiss if we didn't include the occasional blooper reel.
I think we are most proud of the informational content we intend on providing. We plan on a series of tutorial videos for both fireplaces and grills. For fireplaces this will include things like lighting pilots, safe operations and answering common questions. Grill videos will include not only cooking tips and tricks but maintenance pointers as well. Leave us some of your recommendations of what videos you would like to see to help us get started. You could even leave these suggestions on.... oh say....
 Twitter.
Yes, Twitter. We have joined the ranks of the, tweeters? twatters? How does that work as a group tense?
While we are ironing out the grammatical details (my apologies for the twatters, I couldn't help myself), we have figured out how to actually use this website. Don't laugh, it took some time.
It is a great sounding board for you to receive information about new products and promotions, keep up with the latest news on future grilling class times and changes, and for you to praise or bash us. We prefer praise, if you please.
So check out these newest additions to our online prowess. I promise you won't regret it, much. Click on the link below or the logos above.

Not on Twitter? YouTube seem daunting? We will always have our Facebook page available for contact. You can click the Facebook link at the top to 'like' us on our page. Oh, and there is this fancy contraption called the telephone I've heard is still available for use.... but that is an unconfirmed rumor. 614-261-0824 is the number, just in case the rumors are founded.

Recipe's Return
|
Coriander Beef (serves 4) 
1 2-lb beef roast, cut into large chunks
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
8 garlic cloves, divided
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 red bell peppers
4 tablespoons olive oil
8 dried apricots, diced
Black pepper to taste
2 lemons, cut into wedges
Finely chopped fresh cilantro (this is technically a garnish but I really think the dish would be lacking without it.)
Equipment:
- Big Green Egg or other grill. You can technically use the broiler as well, but it won't be the same.
- Bowl
- Zip-top plastic bag
- Large paper bag
- Crush half of the garlic cloves. Combine them with the spices and lemon juice. If you want to take care of all of this in a mini-prep type food processor your life will be much easier.
- Put the paste into the zip-top bag. Add the meat chunks. Press all of the air out of the bag, seal it and squeeze the meat around until it is all well coated in the marinade. Set aside at room temperature for an hour or so.
- Prepare the grill for direct heat cooking at about 450°. The Spouse has specifically asked me to point out that if you cook at any higher temperature the spice paste will char and you'll lose the delicate flavors contained therein.
- Drizzle the oil over the peppers and put them on the grill. Grill until the skin is blackened and blistered, turning frequently. Transfer the peppers to the paper bag, roll the top tightly shut and set aside 10 minutes.
- Pull the skin off the peppers. Seed them and slice them, then put into a bowl.
- Chop the remaining garlic finely and add it to the bowl along with the chopped apricots and black pepper. Set aside.
- Grill the meat about 7 or 8 minutes, depending on your desired degree of doneness.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the cilantro over the meat. We served the meat and the peppers separately, but you can do as you see fit.
