5 Tips to Making the Perfect BBQ Burger

The perfect burger can be made on any Iron Horse BBQ Grill

The perfect burger can be made on any Iron Horse BBQ Grill if you follow our tips

With the summer weather starting to hit Medford, Oregon it is the perfect time for a barbecue!  The hamburger is an important part of any BBQ, so here are 5 tips to making the perfect burger:

  1. The perfect burger doesn’t start off with just any meat, beef with a 15%- 20% fat content is ideal for making a tasty burger.
  2. Don’t ever cook a frozen burger, take the time to defrost your frozen patties, it is well worth the wait time to properly cook your beef.
  3. Instead of just sprinkling spices on top of your patties mix your spices directly into the meat.
  4. Make sure to only flip your patty once so that it can get the ideal sear, this will seal in the delicious juices that are lost by over flipping of the meat.
  5. Remember to toast your burger buns to make sure that they don’t get soggy.

Iron Horse BBQ has high quality grills that will satisfy all of your barbecuing needs.  Our BBQ grills are manufactured by Pro Weld‘s welding experts.

Innovation in Our Current Business World

Innovation in Our Current Business World

Whether you are starting a small catering company or running large corporation innovation is a key component to success.

Iron Horse BBQ shows the innovation of their at Catersource

As Seth Godin put it, “This notion that it is up to each person to innovate in some way flies in the face of the industrial age, but you know what, the industrial age is over”.  We are in a business environment where you must innovate to stay relevant.  Blockbuster failed to adapt when Netflix came into the picture with their online streaming.  Amazon is innovating currently by starting to have 1 hour delivery, and they have stolen market share from other companies by the use of other innovations.  The list goes on and on when it comes to businesses that have used innovation to not only grow, but also just stay relevant.

Innovation does not always have to be big to help your company grow.  It could be something as little as having a new recipe, or bringing in business with an Iron Horse BBQ Grill that catches the eye. 

Catersource is in 2 days, so remember to stop by the Iron Horse BBQ booth or contact us!  Our grills are produced by Pro Weld, a high quality industrial fabrication shop.

BBQ for Each Cut of a Pig

BBQ for Each Cut of a Pig

Pig roast on Iron Horse BBQ grill

With the recent sunny weather, and Catersource only 9 days away we thought that it was the perfect time to learn about how to use different parts of a pig to make delicious barbecue meals.  The perfect grill from Iron Horse BBQ for cooking pork is the Santa Fe Cattleman’s BBQ Grill.  Whether you are cooking up some ribs or you are roasting a pig whole the Santa Fe Cattleman’s BBQ Grill is the grill for you!  It is manufactured by Pro Weld‘s welding experts, and there is nothing in its market that can compare to the quality. 

Each part of a pig has it’s own characteristics, and the ways you prepare them differ based off these differences.

Santa Fe Cattleman’s BBQ Grill can barbecue any cut of a pig

Our Santa Fe Cattleman’s BBQ Grill can barbecue any cut of pork

  • The pork shoulder, also know as “pork butt”, is perfect for a slow and low roast since it doesn’t dry out as easy as other cuts.
  • Spare ribs contain both light and dark meat, and braising them is ideal.
  • Pork loin is tender and lean, it is a great cut for a slow roast on a BBQ.
    • Pork chops often come from the loin, and it is good to cook them on a grill at a high heat.
  • Pork belly is what bacon is made from, and to get bacon from it just cure, smoke, and slice.
  • The rear leg is ideal for ham and is usually less expensive than a loin cut.

We hope that you enjoyed learning about the different cuts of  pork and have fun barbecuing some pork this summer.  Remember to stop by our booth at Catersource or contact us to buy your own Iron Horse BBQ!
