THE FUEGO BLOG

We came across this fun summer promotion with Regis & Kelly and thought we'd share with our blog readers. The morning talk show is hosting a Firehouse Cook-off - a contest that brings nominated firemen to New York to grill their favorite recipe. 

The grilled masterpiece is judged by panel of experts, including Adam Perry Lang - a BBQ master. The grand prize is $10,000 and the firefighter and their recipe will be featured in an issue of Better Homes and Gardens. In order to enter in this contest, you HAVE to be a firefighter. So... if any people out there know of a firefighter with culinary talents, spread the word and they might bring home some extra cash!

"The Voice Of The Hearth, Barbecue And Patio Industries," Hearth & Home, features award-winning Fuego North America in their May 2010 issue. In this issue they feature an exclusive article about the winners at the 10th Annual Vesta Award ceremony, held in Orlando, Florida during the HPBExpo in March. According to the article, the purpose of the awards cermony is to "honor innovation in design and/or technology." More than 1,700 people attended the ceremony and 90 products were entered in 16 categories by 61 different companies. Out of all the entrants, there were only 13 big winners!

As our Fuego product line continues to grow, so does our audience! Last weekend, our Fuego team attended the Mid-States Trade Show in Minnesota at the Minneapolis Convention Center and we exhibited our Fuego and Element Grills. The show was hosted by the Mid-States Distributing Company, which is a buying organization that serves home, farms and fleet retailers all across North America.  The organization has been in business since 1952 and they have more than 600 locations all throughout the United States and Canada and more than 40 distributors.

While the Element Grill has made a huge impact on the US market, we are excited that the new gas grill is also being recognized internationally.
