What's Hot!

Backyard Chef in Half the Time
There’s nothing like the tender, moist taste of smoked ribs cooked in your own backyard. Unfortunately, smoking meat can take hours. Introducing the Orion Cooker™ from Orion Outdoors, an entirely new way to prepare meat and fish. The Orion Cooker saves time by using three cooking processes simultaneously — convection, steam and smoke. And it’s easy to use: just fill it, fire it and forget it! A self-proclaimed “chatter,” Christian Fitzgerald wanted to create a product that allows the host to make delicious, hassle-free smoked meat, while still being able to talk to and entertain friends and family. “Often, I would start talking and completely forget about the meat on the barbeque,” says Fitzgerald. “The Orion Cooker is not only fast, it’s easy to use. Simply light the charcoal in both the upper and lower rings, then go have some fun at your own party. No turning is necessary, just return at the designated cook time and dinner is done.” orionoutdoors.com

Keeping it Cool
Whether your style is contemporary, traditional or even tropical — a designer ceiling fan can make staying cool this summer much more fashionable!

The Modern Fan Co. — Part of the company’s 2008 line, the lumina fan represents founder Ron Rezek’s vision of a grand sculptural form that could serve the purpose of both a chandelier and a ceiling fan. The lumina fan combines two serene mouth-blown glass shapes, both glowing with either incandescent or energy-saving fluorescent light, which surround an efficient three-blade fan.

Regency Ceiling Fans — Regency’s authentic wood designs showcase the natural beauty of real wood. Hand-carved from a unique piece of wood, each blade carries its own signature features. Mix and match the blades with a variety of fan options to create a casual, classic, retro or traditional look. Both designer brands are available at Fan Diego • 858-292-9244 • fandiego.com

Let it Flow
Nothing calms, soothes and enlivens the soul like a tranquil water feature. Stone Forest fountains combine the quiet simplicity of Japanese sculpture with modern, contemporary design. Each piece is carved from a single block of natural stone, reflecting the individual character of the block from which it was carved. Since much of the carving is done by hand, the inspiration of the individual artist can be seen in each sculpture. 888-682-2987 • stoneforest.com
