Wood Pellet Grills: Wood-Fired Taste – As Easy as Gas
Wood pellet grills are so
easy to use it’s unbelievable. What’s
even better is that you get that wood-fired flavor that we’re all looking for
when grilling without any of the stress of charcoal or traditional wood fuel. All you have to do is load the wood pellets
into the hopper, select the temperature you’re looking for, and let the grill
do the rest. The pellet auger
automatically feeds the wood pellets into the fire box based on the temperature
you set, and that auger, along with the fan, holds a consistent temperature so
that you’re able to grill, bake, and smoke without being tied to your grill.

The Benefits of Kamado-Style Grills
A kamado is a traditional Japanese wood or charcoal
fueled cook stove. It is known for its
versatility and can be used for grilling and smoking. You can even get an at-home wood-fired pizza
using a flat ceramic stone in the kamado.

Smooth Portable Power with Inverter Generators
When you use a traditional
generator, its alternator produces high voltage alternating current (AC), which
is then converted to direct current (DC).
DC current can vary on the quality of the current running to what’s
hooked up to your generator. Using an inverter generator, however, converts
that DC current back to AC power creating what’s known as a “true sine
wave.” That conversion makes the current
nice, smooth, and consistent, thereby protecting your sensitive electronic
devices such as smartphones, computers, tablets, and TVs.
