Your Outdoor Cooking Experience Begins Here
Minnesota has four seasons, and we use them all! There is no reason to stop cooking in the outdoors due to a little weather change. In fact, as Minnesotans, we thrive and look for new ways to take advantage of the seasons.
Summertime means baseball games, swimming pools, cabin weekends. Fall is a time of football and backyard fires among friends. And winter is simply a challenge and badge of honor to find out who can go to the extremes.

Often it takes special cooking utensils to ease the challenges of cooking outdoors. Heat resistant gloves, specialized cleaning products, and longer handled utensils may be needed to keep you safe from extreme heat. When cooking, racks, baskets, pans, and roasters will make the job easier. Weber Grills, Big Green Egg, and Napoleon Grills have developed cooking products to expand your foodie experience.

Cooking over a flame is a much different experience than cooking indoors over natural gas, it brings back the unique flavor to your cooking by infusing flavors of hardwoods and smokiness into meat and vegetables. There’s nothing you cannot cook over an open flame. In fact, it’s only limited by your imagination. If you have a favorite, you can find it in Beisswenger’s Grilling Department. All the major brand charcoals are represented:
Royal Oak Cowboy Brand Kingsford
Big Green Egg Hardwoods Napoleon Charcoal Fogo Brand
.
But don’t stop there! Continue to enhance the flavor of your meat by adding smoking chips or chunks to the cooking process. These types are added to the coals to allow smoke to infuse the meat. Typically fruit-bearing or nut-bearing trees are used. Using fruit-bearing tree chips tends to have a lighter and sweeter flavor when added to the cooking process. Using nut-bearing wood tends to lend itself to stronger smoke flavors. It is often stated that chips and chunks should be soaked in water prior to use, but this is not true, they should be used dry. When soaked, all they do is steam before allowed to smoke. The cooking is often inconsistent or wasted because of timing.
.
Pellet cooking is newer to the market. Pelletized hardwoods are typically used in the smoker type grills with hopper units attached to one end. During this process, pellets are slowly added to a heat source to keep temperatures constant using a digitally monitored probe. Beisswenger’s carries eight different flavors of hardwood Pellets:
Apple Cherry Hickory
Oak Mesquite Maple
Alder Pecan
