Outdoors Unlimited Stainless Steel Grill adds versatility

There are of course several different styles of grilling, each with its own characteristics. Gas grills come with several benefits, including maintaining a constant temperature. The process is faster, since the heat can be easily turned on or off. The amount of heat is simple to control, ensuring that your meal is prepared properly. This can be helpful if you are cooking for people with more individualized tastes. Cleaning up afterward can also be easier compared to other types of grills. When you are away from home, having a reliable way to prepare food is important. Likewise, you may not wish to have your options limited by employing a grill that can only be operated one way.

Using the Outdoors Unlimited RV Gas Grill will provide you with more options when needing to prepare food during your next camping trip. This grill will work not only as sidekick mounted to your RV, but also doubles as a tabletop grill. The large handles increase the portability and make it easier to transport, freeing up space as needed. This versatility is achieved through the use of the mounting bracket, which can be adjusted into a stand so the grill can sit on a table if necessary.

The stainless steel construction of the grill makes it a durable piece of equipment, while also providing a stylish, modern design. The large grilling surface can accommodate a group, while the included warming tray and cooking rack can help you prepare meat or vegetables the way you prefer. A separate hose kit is available that will connect the grill to your RV.

 

Useful Picnic Products for that Fourth of July Outing

Though it seems summer just started, Independence Day, also known as the Fourth of July, is only a few weeks away. For many people that means having a day off, with outdoor activities being common, especially when it becomes a 3 day weekend. There is a wide variety of available accessories that prove useful for picnics, cookouts, camping trips and of course, outdoor firework displays.

Picnic Time offers a number of picnic baskets or totes that can accommodate different group sizes. They also can fit the style of outdoor entertaining you desire, no matter how simple or involved you want your outing to be. One such example is the Picnic Time Verdugo, with settings for four. The large cooler space can store enough food for the group, and it includes a cutting board, cheese knife and salt & pepper shakers. A corkscrew is also included for those who wish to bring along wine or other spirits. There's no need to worry about the dishes breaking either, as the cups & plates are plastic, while the silverware is stainless steel.

Once you get to the picnic site, the Son of Hibachi grill gives you a versatile way to prepare a meal. It heats up very quickly and has a grilling surface area of 170 square inches. It can be adjusted to different heights or even be closed to use like an oven. It is also possible to use just one side when cooking for a smaller group. Once heated, you can use the grill to keep food warm until everything is ready. It does not require much cleaning, and is self-extinguishing, using the included Snuff-Out pouch.

There are many different styles of outdoor chairs that can be used during picnics or for watching the fireworks, including ones large enough to seat a group. The Big Bubba chair can make you comfortable while waiting for your neighborhood display. It comes in several colors and features a footrest. The feet are large enough to keep from sinking into the ground and they also feature a non slip surface for added support.

These of course are just a few examples. With the number of options available, it can be easy to make sure you have everything you need for your outdoor activities this Fourth of July.

Maintenance to Preserve the Life of your Outdoor Grill

Over the years I have had some interesting experiences with small portable outdoor grills, especially during my first years camping. (read here about my roadtrip fire) While it's likely that you clean your grill after each use, it's still important that you do a thorough cleaning of your outdoor grill regularly to help remove grime and food that's fallen into the grill so that your grill will continue to cook evenly and last a long time. I have also found that if you store your small grill in a storage bay during humid summer conditions, bold can grow where droppings and burnt food is still left on the burner covers. In order for your grill to be ready to use at any time, it's important that you become familiar with the steps involved with cleaning your grill so that you can cook while on the road with your RV.

Preparing Your Grill for Cleaning

If you own a gas grill, it's essential that you disconnect the gas as a precaution. Ensuring that the grill isn't hot is also important since it will allow you to deep clean the grill without the concern of being burned. You will want to remove the grill grate and burner cover(s) or sometimes called smoker plates to allow for complete cleaning of those components as well as the burners. 

Using a Wire Brush

Owning a wire brush that is designed for use with grills can help make it easy to remove any thick particles that have attached to the grill grate and burner covers. This will help ensure that any solid pieces are removed before you move on to the next step.

Cleaning with a Natural Solution

Mixing up a soapy water solution with 3-4 drops of dish detergent per 1/2 gallon of water will help thoroughly clean your grill removing any grease left behind. It's important that you avoid harsh chemicals that could be dangerous for consumption since it may end up resulting in your grill being unhealthy to eat from. Ensure the burner holes are all open and unobstructed for nice even cooking of food. Be sure to rinse all components with fresh water and reassemble as you go.  Once clean, light the grill and let it run for 5 minutes ensuring any soapy residue that was left behind is completely burned off.  Add a very light coating of vegetable oil to the grill grate to keep it from rusting while in storage.

By cleaning your grill after each use and performing a deep clean regularly, you can ensure that your outdoor grill cooks evenly and is ready to be used at any time. If you're interested in outdoor grills check out our selection online or for questions please contact us.

Picnic Time Caliente

Traveling in an RV requires the smart use of storage space, especially if the trailer or coach is a smaller size or if you are traveling with a group. When needing to save space, it’s good to have items that can serve multiple purposes. To that effect, the Caliente from Picnic Time provides two uses, both as a carrying case for the included portable grill as well as a cooler for beverages. The efficient design gives you the ability to simultaneously store a cooler and grill, making room for additional items. The Caliente travels well with its strong fabric and shoulder strap, and is easy to use with the case being divided into two main sections. The cooler section actually sits above the storage section for the grill.

The great thing about the Caliente is that you can keep the food and beverages for a quick meal within easy reach of each other. The cooler can also store hot dogs and other things that need to be kept cool until they are needed, saving time. The Caliente is ideal for a number of different uses, including camping trips, tailgate parties or picnics. The grill features a surface area of 78.5 square inches, big enough to cook food for more than one person at a time.

The Caliente presents a simple way to prepare food while away from home, while also providing easy transportation to and from your location. It also consolidates storage space into one area. For more information on the Picnic Time Caliente, Click Here
