Philadelphia member buys a ceramic grill

Date Published: May 26 2009

There's a learning curve, Macdonald says, when using a ceramic grill as opposed to a charcoal model. "I've made some pretty good dishes and I've screwed up a few things," Macdonald says. "With a charcoal grill, you can't cook something for a long time because the charcoal burns out fast. Ceramic grills cook very slowly, so if you want to smoke pork so it gets tender and juicy, you can keep the temperature exactly where you want it for several hours."

Gerald Macdonald says he first learned of ceramic grills at a home show. "I thought they were cool and was intrigued by them, so I started doing research on cooking with them," Macdonald says.

Description of work "I ordered a Big Green Egg grill from Dreifuss Fireplaces and had it delivered and assembled."

Member comments "I researched ceramic grills and decided on the Big Green Egg. I hired Dreifuss Fireplaces because the grill is only sold through dealers. Dreifuss Fireplaces delivered and assembled the grill, and when I saw the pieces that needed assembly, I knew I made the right decision in having them put it together. They came when they said they would, were pleasant, professional and respectful of my property. They did a fast and excellent job."
