Spring is merely days away. The sun is out and you can feel it in the 40 degree air. It’s time to start grilling. There is a certain joy in picking out the right grill, and a definite joy when you get to go home and fire it up.
Charcoal grills are actually the most used type of grill and they come in many styles. Over the years, due to their popularity the charcoal grill has changed and evolved. The Kamado Joe and the Primocharcoal grills are grills for those who are serious about taste. These grills use a combination of a ceramic shell, natural lump charcoal and air flow to create a superior charcoal grilled taste. You can also sear food at high temperatures and it will still retain its moistness. These grills can be used as an oven, a grill or a smoker. And a wide range of accessories are available. Charcoal grilling has the ability to enhance the food flavor and some people believe it is the only way to grill. There is another reason that the Kamado Joe and Primo grills are better than the traditional charcoal grill; they are ready to use in 15 minutes.
Propane or gas grills are very popular, and are also very versatile. Of course, they run on propane, and heat up and are ready to use in minutes. They offer a quick and easy way to cook outdoors and also give a good flavor. Depending on your lifestyle, this may be the only way to go for you and your family. If you want to sear meat or cook on a slow rotisserie, there is a perfect gas grill for you. You can even cook your entire meal on many gas grills with the addition of the side burner. There is a gas grill for all occasions, from 3 burner grills to 6 burner grills, and everything from built in models to portable grill models. Gas grills also come with different cooking surfaces and these surfaces give you the ability to cook many different ways.

Spring is a week away and daylight savings has arrived. The days are getting longer and the evenings are brighter. It is time to start thinking about gas grills. For the outdoor BBQ enthusiast, watching this time of year approach is like waiting for your favorite holiday as a kid. But, you must have the right grill for all your grilling needs.
There are quite a bit of products to choose from, and various features on all the different products. Gas grills can run on propane tanks or be hooked up to your home’s natural gas line. With so many products and features, we thought we’d take some time to help you out. But of course, you can stop in and let us help you decide what you are looking for too.
Firstly, know what you are looking for in a grill, including the different accessories. What do you want it to be able to do? Do you want a side burner? Do you want arotisserie option? How big do you want it to be, and how much space do you have? Will you be grilling all kinds of meats or just burgers and hot dogs? Keep in mind that enameled cast iron grates and burners are often recommended by grill experts.
Now, when you are considering the size of the grill, you want to make sure that you not only check the over-all size, but the BTU’s as well. BTU is the way of measuring the size of the cooking area. Lower BTU means less space, while higher BTU means more space. So if you're planning on grilling for multiple people, you'd be better off with the grill with the higher BTU.

The Middle East Conflicts have created a lot of concern over the prices of heating oil and gas. The price per barrel of home heating oil jumped 4% today. And depending on what happens there this week, oil prices could go higher. Although investor concerns about the unrest in the Mideast and North Africa are legitimate, considering they account for 35 percent of the world's oil supply and reserves, so far oil production and exports have not been affected.
Even those who are traditionally unconcerned with their heating bill have given thought to the price of heating their homes for the remainder of this winter.

Many people have been coming into our shop lately and inquiring about pellet and gas stoves. However, once they see our beautiful hearthstone wood burning inserts, they begin asking questions about wood. I thought I would take this opportunity to tell you a couple of the pros and cons about all three types of fuel for inserts, fireplaces and stoves.
Gas heating appliances are easy to use, more economical than you would think, and they can be connected to a thermostat for a consistent heat. Also, many come with a remote control, so literally, at the touch of a button you can be sitting in front of a roaring fire. However, gas is not a renewable source of energy, and you will still pay the high fuel prices. Though they are a more efficient way of heating; gas stoves, fireplaces andinserts are generally a convenient secondary or supplemental heat source for your home.
Stoves and inserts that use wood pellets for fuel can produce quite a bit of heat. They are very efficient and for the most part, are mess free. The pellets can be stacked easily in the garage or shed in bags and they burn very efficiently. Pellet stoves can be used to heat your whole home throughout the winter. And though they do not have the pretty flame we are used to with burning wood, manufacturers today are making more attractive pellet stoves to suit more needs. Probably the biggest drawback to a pellet stove or insert is the need for electric power to run. In a snowy Nor’easter, if there is no power, there is also no fire.
Wood makes a beautiful fire; wood is a renewable fuel source -so no more huge heating bills; and wood burning fireplaces, inserts and stoves can heat your whole home all winter. Manufacturers of wood burning heating appliances have much higher standards making stoves, inserts and fireplaces that are more efficient with higher EPA ratings today than in the past. Therefore, pollutants are reduced and efficiency is increased. So then what are the drawbacks to wood? Wood requires storing and lugging. As opposed to gas and pellet, when you get home from work, you cannot just push a button and have a fire to relax in front of.
All of these fuel sources have a place based on your lifestyles, your home and your needs. At West Sport, our goal is to help educate you on all the fuel sources available. We want you to make the right decision for your home and family so that you can get the most enjoyment out of your new fireplace, stove or insert.
New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, and with the New Year the home energy tax credit expires. We can help you.

But, we are also offering $200 off every Hearthstone pellet or wood burning stove, insert or fireplace.

Burning wood is one of the most romantic, beautiful and satisfying ways to heat your home.
Wood burning stoves, inserts and fireplaces can be very economical, while also offering the additional benefits of a beautiful flame, relaxing warmth, and a romantic ambiance.
Environmental concerns and strict EPA regulations have helped wood stoves grow in popularity. EPA-certified stoves now burn 72-82% more cleanly than those of the past. Wood has a much higher BTU capacity than gas, and wood is also a renewable resource. The tax credit is being offered for all hearth appliances that use renewable energy- this means wood or pellet burning. You can count on wood and wood pellets being around as a reliable and clean source of fuel for years to come. With rising fuel and gas prices, wood stoves are a much more economical way to heat your home. And you will stay warm even if your power goes out.
Happy Holidays from West Sport, this is our gift to you, as our neighbors. Come in and save $1500 dollars before December 31.
