For several years, my wife Carol and I have attended the Hearth, Patio and Barbeque Association's trade show. Our goal was to stay abreast of the industry and pick out products for our showroom. The fun part of the show is visiting the barbeque products outside. There is smoke, great smells, awesome food to sample, music and happy people. With our new showroom at Alpine Climate Control, we have decided to offer our customers some quality outdoor cooking products. Outdoor cooking is the cornerstone of the outdoor living space, it brings people together and where there is food there is happiness.

I have been using several of our products and cooking with charcoal since the holidays. I have cooked up baby back ribs, pulled pork, beer can chicken, brisket, salmon, shrimp, veggies, portabella mushrooms, tri-tip and smoked nachos. Cooking with charcoal smells great, adds flavor to the cook, and causes you to slow down and enjoy the process more. I have become passionate about it. I have much to learn, but I am excited about sharing what I have learned with our customers.

In this issue of our newsletter, we will preview a couple of our new barbeque products and kickoff our Lennox heating and cooling spring promotion, which includes some our new Everdure grills as incentives!

Happy Grillin'

Kamado style cookers are traditionally made of ceramic, shaped like an egg and cook with charcoal. They have the ability to cook at temperatures from 200 °-700 °F. These cookers have a number of advantages:

Alpine carries Kamado Joe, which is a line of quality Kamado cookers. They come in 3 grill sizes; the Joe Jr is 13", the Classic Joe is 18" and the Big Joe is 24". They also offer creative accessories such as a rotisserie, pizza insert, electronic temperature probes, griddle plates and a soapstone grill.

We also carry Everdure by heston blumenthal, an Australian product. The Everdure 4K is a modern version of the Kamado grill. It is constructed of aluminum and steel instead of ceramic. It has an electric start, ability to add charcoal and or wood chunks during the cook without disturbing the food, 4 on-board meat temperature probes and an internal light.

We stock all these Kamado cookers and have demo units you can see in action.

How old is your heating and cooling system? On average, a heating and cooling system will last 15 to 20 years. You can wait for it to break and treat it as an emergency, or you can proactively replace it during our slow season and benefit from our best offer of the year! New systems are more energy efficient, quiet, and comfortable. Why not enjoy those benefits now?

Our Spring Promotion kicks off at the Home & Garden Show ,March 13-15, at the Sheridan Holiday Inn. When you purchase a new Lennox heating and cooling system from Alpine you get a quality product and a quality installation that we will stand behind. Here is what makes this the very best time of year to purchase:
