Remember – griddles are not just for pancakes anymore..

Griddle up some meat and veggies for fajitas for your own fiesta, butter up some sandwiches and create your own panini party, fry up some bacon for a bacon fest, and of course, you can still make pancakes.

One of the advantages of using a charcoal grill is the is the ability to cook food directly or indirectly.  This is a great option for Wisconsinites as we love to fish on our many lakes and we love to grill our fish.  Invite your friends for your own Friday Fish Fry after you bring in your catch and create memories as well as perfectly grilled fish.

Tips for charcoal grilling are to keep the coals as evenly spread out and at about the same depth throughout the grill in order to avoid hot and cold spots.  Make sure someone is manning the grill at all times in order to make sure food is cooking evenly across the grills surface.  If adding more charcoal to the grill, wait for 20 to 30 minutes before resuming cooking to allow the grill to return to the proper heat for cooking.

Charcoal is not included with the grill rental.

Rotisserie Grill cooking, also known as spit-roasting, uses a rotisserie rod to hold food up from the fuel source and rotated while cooking. This method allows the meat to cook evenly in its own juices so your party guests will be treated to a juicy and tender main course.  One tip to rotisserie grilling is to place a drip pan underneath the meat as it bastes.  This will prevent the juices from dripping over the charcoal and burning up and cooling the coals.  The juices can also be used to baste over the cooking meat to provide additional flavor while cooking.  Another tip is to tie the meat to the rotisserie rod once it is skewered.  It may seem secure when you add the raw meat, but as it cooks and tenderizes, it will become looser and could fall off the spit – which is another great use for the drip pan in case this happens.

Great meats to cook for your party guests include large cuts of beef, like roasts, whole chickens, leg of lamb, or small pigs.  However, you can also cook fruits or vegetables on the rod.  Having a luau?  Add a whole pineapple to the end of your spit for added flavor.

A propane grill is the perfect rental for picnics, parties or barbeques because the large surface gives you the ability to cook a lot of food at once for a big crowd. In fact, this propane grill will cook 40 steaks, 20 chicken halves or 60 hamburgers all at once!  Because propane grills give you better control over the temperature, they are easier to cook with than charcoal grills and tend to give a more even cook to the food.

A propane tank is included with the rental.  Propane is charged based on usage and is weighed when when the grill is returned.

Wisconsin is famous for a couple of great grilled foods you could try at your next party or event – Beer Brats and Butter Burgers.

Beer Brats are Bratwurst soaked in a mixture of about 2 onions sliced up, a couple of tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and enough beer to cover the brats.  Remember, the better the beer, the better the brats.  There are two schools of thought on cooking the brats.  Some people like to boil them in the beer until done and then sizzle them on the propane grill, and some folks like to sizzle first and then boil them.  Try both ways to see which you prefer but never pierce the brats before cooking.  That just gives an opening for all those juices to flow out.

Butter Burgers are a simpler preparation – just add a little butter to the raw meat during preparation and after the burger is sizzled up and close to perfection, drop a pat of butter on the top of the burger and let it melt while it is still on the grill.  Best served with a toasted buttered bun and lots of condiments!

Renting a Pig Roaster is a fun option for festivals, outdoor parties, graduation parties, Luau’s, barbecues and so much more.  The Pig Roaster will both cook your meat to perfection, but will also be a topic of conversation among party guests.

Once you have decided you would like to roast a pig at your event, the roaster will be easy to get to your venue as it is towable and attaches to a 2″ ball on your vehicle (make sure it is rated for towing).

The next step – and the big question most ask – is how do I roast a pig?

Timing – plan on about an hour of cooking time for every 10 pounds of pork.

Charcoal Purchase

Start with 30 pounds to get the roaster up to temperature and have on hand enough charcoal to add about 10 pounds every hour.  Make two large lines of charcoal with a valley in the center to place a drip pan to collect all of the drippings.  We recommend not using self starting charcoal as it will change the flavor of the pig.

When purchasing your pig, plan on about 1.5 pounds of uncooked meat for each guest.  This will cook enough meat for each of your party guests to have a little over 8 ounces of cooked meat when serving.

Once you are ready to cook the pig, it should be placed belly side down and cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees.  Keep water on hand as the grease may cause a few flare ups that will need to be put out, mainly during the first couple of hours of cooking.

Once the pig is properly cooked, remove it and prepare to carve!  It might be a good idea to have a friend help with removal.
