What do you get the guy who has everything?  Dad tends to be the most difficult to shop for in the family.  We want to show the men in our lives how much we appreciate them this Father’s Day, so we’ve compiled some of our favorite gifts for Dad in our Father’s Day gift guide:

.

Texan Grill

Gift the aspiring grill master our flagship grill.  For starters, it boasts two grilling surfaces, (2) 1500 watt elements and constructed of the highest quality stainless steel, which is weather resistant and rust proof.  Designed for year-round use so grilling season never has to end!

.

City Grill

BBQ for all!  The City Grill lets everyone in on the fun of grilling.  Ideal for apartment and condo buildings that restrict gas and charcoal grills on their patios and balconies.  The portable design, convenient carrying handles and ample cooking space makes it easy to cook a delicious meal from the comfort of your kitchen or while relaxing outside.

.

Side Burner

Let Dad enjoy a fully customized grilling experience by choosing one of our side burners, from portable to built-in units.  The waterproof design allows for use in any weather conditions.

.

Coated Drip Tray

A permanent solution that will capture dripping fat and juices, preventing flare-ups.  Upgrade from the standard drip trays as this one never needs to be replaced.  The non-stick coating makes it easy to clean and is dishwasher safe.

.

Griddle

Dad can go from flipping burgers to making pancakes.  The most essential accessory that will come in handy for most of our breakfast recipes. It is interchangeable with the grate that comes standard with all Kenyon Grills.

This Old House‘s review on the City Grill

“This portable plug-in grill creates no smoke or flames, so it can even be used indoors. The concealed electric heating element prevents flare-ups while helping the 155-square-inch cooking area reach temperatures as high as 600°F in just 7 minutes. That’s plenty of heat to make those telltale grill marks, plus you can remove the nonstick grate and toss it in the dishwasher when you’re done.”

Pop Sugar’s review on the City Grill

“And now, for something a little different: the Kenyon City Grill ($475). It may not immediately appear to be the conventional tech product you’re used to, but it’s got some of the most high-tech power that we’ve damn well ever seen. This grill doesn’t run on fire or gas; instead, it plugs right into the wall and brings grilling right to any home or apartment, without the hassle of finding an outdoor space (or, in many cases, trying to avoid breaking the terms of your lease by getting caught while grilling out.) It’s the tech that powers some of the most savvy cuisine – think of any place that makes food outdoors, and that’s exactly where this came from – and now, if you’re anything like me, it can be an invaluable part of your home kitchen, too.”

It must be a guy thing… get a Texan! Its a big unit and functions perfectly on the 6’ x 12’ Balcony. Fabricated a pair of metal wall brackets to keep the space below open and spacious. Happiness at the location!

Robert put the Texan in his condo!

It’s that time of year where we get together with friends and family for a good American barbecue! Turn up the grill, put on the hot dogs, mix together the potato salad, crack open a cold one, and put on THE PERFECT PLAYLIST!

No party atmosphere is complete without music! We put together the perfect playlist with everyone’s favorite summertime picnic songs!

PARTY ON!

Whether it’s red or white, find out which foods pair best with your favorite wines.

All Kenyon grills come equipped with a drip tray feature to add liquid to prevent smoke and flareups from grease while you grill.

Due to the proximity of the tray to the heating element, the liquid will get warm and some of it will evaporate, which creates steam thus infusing a flare of flavor  into your food.

Water will do just fine, but “wine not” bring your grilling to a whole new level by adding in some of you favorite wine.

Here are some suggestions on what wines to pair with your grilled foods:

Cabernet Sauvignon– Steak

Chardonnay– Tilapia, Chicken, Turkey

Merlot- Lamb, Salmon, Tuna

Pinot Grigio– Shellfish

Pinot Noir– Ham, Pork

Zinfandel– Ribs

Pop open a bottle, add a little wine to your grill and a WHOLE lot in your glass!

Sip, sip hooray!

The Manual wants you to have your best summer yet, so they’ve compiled a list of portable grills that fit your adventurous lifestyle.

“There’s nothing like a great meal to complement a great day, and there are few better ways to make a day great than by spending it outdoors with friends and family.

When you prepare fine foods at a campsite, picnic on a beach, or just hang out in your own backyard, cooking is part of the larger experience and becomes more of a pleasure than a task. That is, so long as you have a decent portable grill on which to do the cooking. I can tell you from plenty of personal experience that trying to cook with inferior equipment while you’re far afield is a recipe for white hot rage and under-cooked burgers.

If all you need to do is heat up water to rehydrate packs of camping food, then by all means, stick with a pocket-sized camp stove. If you want to grill up some ribeye, burgers, or salmon fillets while you’re away from it all, then one of these five portable grills will certainly serve all your al fresco cooking needs.”

THE CITY GRILL 

“So for this one, you’ll need an outlet, limiting you to campsite with facilities, an RV, a cabin with power, or your own backyard. But what you lose in suitability for use in remote locations, you gain in amazing performance. This plug-in electric grill could well be the only grill you use at home thanks to its superb heat control and the high temperatures it can reach. You can clean the grate by hand or in the dishwasher; the drip trays last for many uses, but can be tossed once overly soiled. Shout out to Kenyon for keeping things simple: the grill is controlled with just one knob, which features an off position and eight different heat settings ranging from low to high. Also, this is the “Official Grill of the Boston Red Sox,” just FYI.”

These delicious food trends are hitting a ballpark near you this 2018 season. See how Kenyon grills makes the list in Boston.

“A new Major League Baseball season is set to begin, so that means — among many other things — it’s time for my annual strut through some of the new and ridiculous food items throughout the 30 MLB ballparks. By no means is this an all-encompassing trip, as that would be near impossible and be far too long for the 2018 Internet. We will be hitting on the overwhelming majority of the biggest and most absurd, though.

Confession: This is my favorite post to do every single season. Look, I love everything about my job and baseball is my biggest passion, but putting this together with all the ridiculous food items is all kinds of fun. Hopefully you have as much fun going through this as I did building it, though I doubt that’s even possible.”

“We are very excited to partner with the Boston Red Sox and look forward to enhancing the game day experience for everyone with our quality grill products,” said Mike Williams, sales and marketing manager at Kenyon. “Thanks to our smokeless grills, fans can safely and comfortably grill and watch the game from their kitchen, backyard, apartment balcony or while tailgating. This partnership is so close to home as a Connecticut-based company, and we’re excited to tap into our regional sports community.”

Kenyon’s premium product line offers a wide range of grill options, based on individual needs. Two of the company’s most popular electric grills, the portable City Grill and built-in Texan Grill, heat up to 600 degrees in seven minutes and are easy to clean with non-stick grates. Additionally, Kenyon offers built-in cooktops for homes, RV’s, boats, hotels and resorts, as well as a variety of grilling accessories to complete the ultimate cook-out experience.

“We are excited to partner with a brand like Kenyon whose products are as much a herald of warm summer months as Red Sox baseball,” said Red Sox Executive Vice President Troup Parkinson. “We welcome them to the Red Sox family and look forward to working together during the 2018 season.”
