About our Company

HI Hearth & Leisure is pleased to carry a wide variety of quality barbeques, grills and products for outdoor cooking.  Our specialty is in commercial-grade grills that have been specially produced to withstand the 'rust' factor that so many typical mass-market grills succumb to on the Hawaiian islands. We carry a range of sizes and features for every budget and location.

The Advent of the Rust-Resistant Grill


In response to the entreaties of several condominum managers in the late '80's HI Hearth & Leisure went on a quest to find a barbeque that could survive the marine environment and constant use, and for whom there could be found ready replacement parts.  At that time there were literally no commercial grade barbeques available for these circumstances except a handful of extremely pricey stainless grills that were beyond the reach of most managers.

Consequently, I traveled to a national show on the Mainland to visit with the manufacturers, asking if they felt their grills would fit our needs.  Frankly, I recieved a resounding "No" as all of them were nervous about litigation that might follow corroded grills.

I approached Arkla, Broilmaster, Charbroil, Patio Kitchen, Charmglow, Ducane, El Patio, Fiesta, Falcon, Nordic, ProChef, Olympic, Sears/Kenmore, Thermos, Sunbeam, Turco and Weber.  All declined.

I was initially turned down by
Pacific Gas Specialties (PGS)
but then it became interesting. The company President, Mr. George Speicher, spent time personally with me and was intrigued as to how 'solvable' the problem might be. He decided to place his best grills (the K-40) in monitored use to see what failed.  This was the beginning of a working relationship, now over a decade old, that has developed into the much-modified K-40(S), a commercial grill now in use by the hundreds in the Hawaii market.  This is the only grill that has been evolved through the relationship between condo managers, a retailer and a manufacturer. This is one tough grill!

Unique water partition separates the burner from the grill area. Moist heat flows over the partition allowing fast, even cooking without having to turn your food over all the time. The cooking lid thus stays closed, speeding up the process. Charcoal or wood may be added to the box over the burner, or seasoned liquids added to the water chamber for unbeatable flavors.  Drippings fall into the water instead of on metal, so cleanup is a snap - simply open the valve and drain the water.  With no flame under the food, there is no charring.  Sizes range from 3 to 7.5 feet wide,  with optional propane rack, side burner and fryer.
