An Important Conversation about Flavored Grilling Pellets and Lump Charcoal

2013-05-06T08:00:00-07:00

We realize that “pellets” and “charcoal” are not the sexiest topics. But seriously, every true grilling aficionado needs to know how to debate the merits of mesquite versus hickory-flavored pellets.

So here’s a little cheat sheet to help you out. We’ve even structured it as a dialogue so you can practice in front of the mirror before your next grilling party!

The scene opens on Larry’s patio, where he and his friend, Sam, are grilling steaks.

Larry: I just bought this Traeger pellet grill from Rich’s. I’m loving the change from my old charcoal grill.

Sam: Pellets? Really?

Larry: Yeah. Pellet grills use small, food-grade pellets made from 100 percent hardwood sawdust. These aren’t the same kind of pellets used in pellet stoves that heat your home – Traeger pellets are both a clean-burning heat source and a delicious flavoring for pellet grills.

Sam: Do the pellets come in different flavors?

Larry: You bet they do! I buy them in 20-pound bags at Rich’s. They stock them in Hickory, Mesquite, Alder and Apple flavors. They also sell Maple, Cherry, Oak and Pecan pellets.

Sam: That’s a great variety of flavors. But I own a charcoal grill. Did you notice whether Rich’s sells lump charcoal, too?

Larry: They do. In fact, Rich’s stocks the widest variety of grill fuels and accessories in the Northwest. Last time I was there, I noticed four brands of premium-grade charcoal:

ONO charcoal, the original Luau charcoal (sold in 20-lb bags)
Big Green Egg 100% natural lump (sold in 20-lb bags)
Groveland Orange Tree lump charcoal (sold in 20-lb bags)
Wicked Good Weekend Warrior Blend all-natural lump charcoal – (sold in 22-lb bags)

Sam: Impressive! Do they sell BBQ smoking chips, as well as charcoal?

Larry: Yep. They stock three brands all-natural wood pellets for charcoal or gas grills and they also carry BBQ smoking chips that enhance the flavor of different types of meat and fish.

Western wood smoking chunks (Pecan, Hickory, Cherry, Apple)
Jack Daniel’s wood smoking chips
Weber Firespice hickory wood chips and chunks (hickory or mesquite)

Sam: Wow! I never knew Rich’s carried all that stuff. Where are they located?

Larry: Rich’s has five stores in Lynnwood, Bellevue, Tacoma, Tukwila, and Silverdale.

Sam: I’m gonna head over there tomorrow and stock up.

Larry: Good idea. But beware. Rich’s stocks an incredible lineup of grills and grilling accessories, in addition to pellet and charcoal. My guess is that you’re going to go home with more than a bag of charcoal!

Rich’s interior decorating team redesigns our showroom floors every spring to highlight the latest outdoor furniture trends, color combinations, fabrics, and finishes. Pathways wind throughout the showroom floor, leading you through displays intended to stimulate the senses and help you imagine how the furnishings might look in your home.

Their cast aluminum furnishings are gorgeous and include fine detailing and a huge variety of looks. Note the intricate detail on this dining table on display at our Lynnwood store:
Their construction is heavy-duty (just come in and lift a dining chair – you’ll see what we mean!).
Their cushions are custom-made, offering tailored style and exquisite comfort.
There are 350 fabrics to choose from, so you’re almost guaranteed to find something that matched your unique style.
Their warranties on frames, finishes, and fabrics are terrific – for both commercial and residential furnishings.
They offer one of the best special-order programs we’ve seen. You can custom-design your order in just a few easy steps, and delivery is quick and efficient.

Not only can you special order any furnishings and fire pits from the GenSun catalog, but we stock a variety of GenSun collections in our five Puget Sound showrooms (Lynnwood, Bellevue, Southcenter, Tacoma, and Silverdale).

Everything’s Coming Up ‘Emerald’ in 2013 Outdoor Furniture

2013-04-01T08:00:00-07:00

It’s lively. It’s radiant. It’s lush. It’s Emerald, Pantone’s color of the year for 2013.

You’re going to see Emerald everywhere – on fashion runways (should you haunt such venues), in jewelry, footwear, bedding, bath towels, accessories, paint, appliances, stemware, and of course, outdoor furnishings.

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®, believes Emerald enhances our sense of well-being and promotes balance and harmony. “The most abundant hue in nature, the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum,” Eiseman said.

“Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today's complex world. This powerful and universally-appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors.”

At Rich’s, we’re seeing an upsurge of patio furniture special orders in Emerald and other eye-popping colors, such as Monaco Blue (PANTONE 19-3964), pictured at right.

These fun, yet soothing colors make terrific accents as fabric cushions for chairs, sofas, and swivel rockers, deck umbrellas, accent pillows, and throws.

Here are some shots of displays you'll find on the floor of our Lynnwood showroom:

Tropitone 36" obsidian banchetto table with swivel recliner/rockers.

Tropitone table, patio umbrella, swivel rockers, and accent pillows.

Tropitone Ravello curved sofa with 16" square toss pillows.

Here’s the full lineup of this season’s Pantone color palette:

Row 1:
PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald
PANTONE 14-6011 Grayed Jade
Row 2:
PANTONE 16-4120 Dusk Blue
PANTONE 14-0446 Tender Shoot
Row 3:
PANTONE 13-0756 Lemon Zest
PANTONE 16-3520 African Violet
Row 4:
PANTONE 12-1008 Linen
PANTONE 19-3964 Monaco Blue
Row 5:
PANTONE 17-1664 Poppy Red
PANTONE 16-1360 Nectarine

Stop by any of Rich’s five Puget Sound showrooms in Bellevue, Lynnwood, Southcenter, Tacoma, or Silverdale and we’ll give you a guided tour of outdoor furnishings that show off this year’s colors. We also have lots of catalogs from which you can special order whatever strikes your fancy.
