Smokin’ Hot

It’s easy to see why outdoor kitchens are so hot. Who wants to belly-up to a saucepan when mellow breezes beckon from beyond the French doors? We have cake in the garden; can’t we now bake it there too? Yes, but more on outdoor ovens (and refrigerators and warmers and trash compactors) later. Today’s bulletin is all about grillin’. As outdoor kitchens heat up, so goes the design. The latest grills are down right sculptural.

Let It Slide

Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet has raised grilling steak to garden art with its Japanese-inspired Edo Grill. The hand-textured stainless-steel plateau glides apart to reveal a grilling surface rocked by an exceptional 50,000 BTUs. $7,495, 800-868-1699 or KalamazooGourmet.com.
