The Parker"
Grill is a great traveling companion. Its smooth briefcase
shape stows almost anywhere where space is at a
premium - inside your R.V., the cubby of your boat, the back of
your closet. The Parker Grill requires no assembly. It arrives
ready to use. Unfold the legs, hook up a gas bottle and start
grilling.
The Parker
Grill is 30 pounds of very expensive, high grade 304 Type
stainless steel designed to last longer and cook food
better than any other portable gas grill on the market. It is a
rugged, dependable appliance used by professional caterers,
fishing
guides in Idaho, big boat skippers in the Caribbean.
Burner -
Our burner puts out nearly twice the heat of conventional portable
gas grills. Conventional gas grills produce from 8,000 to 12,000
BTUs. Our burner produces 20,000 BTUs. This power has two distinct
advantages. Our
grill heats up fast and it reaches higher temperatures.
The Parker
Grill burner has an added feature not found on any other portable
gas grill-it produces both a "hot spot" and a "resting spot". This
is a feature requested by commercial chefs. Chefs like the
flexibility of different heat levels across the cooking surface.
They use the ultra high heat of the hot spot to sear meat. This
searing process locks in juices and concentrates flavor on the
surface of the meat. The Parker Grill's hot spot covers two thirds
of the cooking
surface with temperatures above 900 degrees F.
Chefs use
the lower temperature resting spot to finish meat off, to rest it,
and allow the center to cook without having to incinerate the
outside. This heat gradient also means different types of food can
be cooked at the same time. It gives cooks a flexibility they
could only expect from their large stationary gas grills.
Our burner
is a thick walled 304 type stainless tube - the same design that's
used in commercial ovens that run all day, every day.
Double
Smoker Plates - First there were lava rocks - greasy, smelly and
moldy. Then there was the single smoker plate. It worked but as
much as 20% of the grease collected in the fire box until it found
a way out - into your boat locker, car trunk, or
patio deck. We didn't want to live with the mess and why should
you? The Parker Grill has two smoker plates, one on top of the
other. Here is how they work. Each plate has a series of holes in
it. The holes in the top plate are offset from the holes in the
bottom plate. As grease drips down it is either vaporized by the
top plate or falls through to the second smoker plate. The second
plate vaporizes any remaining wayward grease. You end up with more
flavorful food, a cleaner grill, and no grease
build up.
- Parke Grill uses a quick connect regulator. When we
started to design this grill one of the
Baffled Air Intake - You probably like cooking in windy places
like beaches and rivers but don't like having your grill burner
blow out. We don't like it either so we invented a baffled air
intake system to prevent blowouts in high winds. It's pretty
simple (like all good inventions). The front and back air intake
holes are protected by baffles just on the inside of the holes.
These baffles slow any wind entering the grill body so the burner
can operate in a calm firebox without being effected by less than
perfect weather
conditions. The baffles also cause the flame to spread out across
the bottom of the smoker plate for more efficient heating.
Legs - Our patent pending legs are nothing short of slick.
Stored, the Parker Grill legs stay folded neatly inside the body.
When you are ready to grill, the legs pop out of the body using
your finger tips. They are counterbalanced on the inside so all
you do is put the grill down and the legs automatically swing into
position. The legs are 5/8 inch stainless rod. You would probably
have to drive over your grill to bend these legs. Take down is
equally simple. Latch the hood, set the grill on edge and press
the legs back into the body.
