Go All Out On The Grill **HPBA**
You've got an entire summer meal to prepare for the family ... why not throw it all
on the fire? From veggies to steaks, let the charcoal do the work

One of the only things that can spoil the aromatic enchantment of a evening meal on the
grill is the back-and-forth run between the fire and the stovetop, where that perfect side is
cooking.
Preparing the whole meal on the grill not only saves steps, it adds flavor.
"You can plan ahead and make everything from appetizers to the dessert on the grill,"
says James Abbott, executive chef at Leonardo's Café in the Washington Pavilion. "The
fire itself will add some flavor, especially with a charcoal grill."
Cooking out is popular. In 2006, the barbecue industry shipped more than 17 million
grills; an increase of 15 percent from 2005, according to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue
Association.
Chris Madsen is a die-hard charcoal griller who is known to make the whole meal
outside.
"If it's 60 and it's not raining, it's a good day to grill," says Madsen, 39, of Sioux Falls.
"It's easy enough to roast some chickens, using indirect methods, along with your baked
beans in a little tinfoil pan."
The smoke from the cooking meat adds flavor to the beans, he says. "I've been known to
cook a stuffed turkey on the grill," he says. "There's nothing like grilling pizzas. You can
make dessert ones, or just regular ones, right there on the Weber kettle grill."
Abbott says a grill can serve just about every function: it can bake when the lids closed, it
can obviously cook protein-laden steaks, chops, and burgers, but it's a great place for
veggies, too.
With a table set up next to the grill, a cutting board, and some other kitchen tools, Abbott
can put together a entire meal without going back to his kitchen.
He roasts fresh red peppers and green peppers together over the flames, then julienneslices them, and wraps them with a thin slice of eggplant to make an attractive side dish
for steak or grilled shrimp.
Amanda Viau, executive chef at the Westward Ho Country Club in Sioux Falls, says
every summer meal she grills ends up being "all on the grill."
"I only go in to wash my hands," she says. "You really can grill anything."
Viau suggests whole pork tenderloins or sides of salmon, along with fingerling potatoes
in tinfoil envelopes, accompanied by a few leeks, some garlic, and a bit of butte.
Tinfoil packages of potatoes are a staple for many backyard grillers, but Viau does hers a
little differently.
"For beans and corn, I will put little meat loaf pans right on the grill, because that stuff
just needs to get warm," she says. "I make little tinfoil boats to cook things like salmon or
larger cut vegetables."
Viau uses a tinfoil envelope for fingerling potatoes, or a tinfoil boat, which are like a
small sack. The bottom rests against the grilling surface, but then she can open the top to
let smoke into the food as it finishes.
Abbott says to remember bread when it comes to whipping up some quick snacks for
guests. Crostini and bruschetta are classic Italian grilled breads. Top them with chopped
roma tomato relish or some goat cheese.
"Goat cheese is spreadable in its natural form. That's why it works well," he says. "If you
like feta or mild blue cheese, you'll like it."
Abbott will put his advice to good use after Memorial Day when Leonardo's begins a
weekly grilled lunch special, "Sizzlin' Fridays" offering off-the-fire burgers and brats.

Wood stoves hot topic in Rehoboth
Taunton Gazette – Taunton, MA
April 24, 2007
Gerry Tuoti
REHOBOTH - The use of outdoor wood furnaces was a central theme in a heated debate
at the third installment of the annual town meeting Monday night.
Voters approved an article restricting the placement of the heating devices, but also
adopted an amendment to the measure that removed any date restrictions for the use of
the furnaces.
Resident Janine Musto argued for stricter regulations on the furnaces, which some
townspeople use to heat their homes and hot water.
"My yard is filled with smoke," she said, complaining about a neighbor's external wood
furnace. "My children couldn't go out and play. I have the right to clean air."
She said her 6-year-old son has developed asthma since her neighbor installed an outdoor
furnace.
On the other side of the fence were furnace-owners such as Joe Cullen, who said he's
saved about $50 a month on his electric bill since installing the device.
Another furnace owner, Kathy Grace, said the devices shouldn't produce excessive
amounts of smoke when used properly.
"It does not fill the whole neighborhood with smoke," she said. "Some of the complaints
are greatly exaggerated. It's just a good way to inexpensively heat a home."
The original proposal mandated that external furnaces be at least 150 feet from a
neighboring home and 50 feet from a property line. It also called for a ban on the use of
the devices outside of the months of September through April.
Former State Rep. Philip Travis, a Rehoboth resident, said placing such a restriction on a
device used to heat a home and provide hot water would violate state law. Cullen offered
an amendment removing the date restriction, and that measure was approved by the
voters.
In other business, the voters approved $24,400 for a new police cruiser and $10,000 for a
set of new specialized pagers for emergency personnel.
By 10:30 p.m., the meeting, which originally started April 9 and was continued to last
Tuesday, then last night, was on Article 30 of a 46-article warrant. Among the articles to
be decided is a proposal to explore the feasibility of a town-owned wind farm.
Klamath Air Quality Standards
KOBI 5 – Medford, OR
April 24, 2007

Tighter air quality standards are on the horizon for residents of Klamath County.
The Klamath County commissioners set public hearing dates Tuesday to take comment
on the new requirements.
Each of the commissioners voiced concerns about the impact that forest fires and
controlled burns could have on the way that local conditions are monitored.
The tighter standards would likely result in more restrictions on woodstove use. Hearing
dates have been scheduled for May 22nd and June 5th.
Those meetings will take place at ten a.m. in the Klamath County Government Center.
