Why Choose Kalamazoo for Your Custom Outdoor Kitchen?

Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet has been bringing gourmet lifestyles outdoors since 1906. It all started with the first commercially-available grill, but today we build a full line of equipment for outdoor kitchens that delivers the highest performance, most enduring quality and most significant innovations you can find anywhere.

Everything You Need for Building Outdoor Kitchens

• Gas grills and hybrid grills that cook with any combination of charcoal, wood and gas
• More than 25 outdoor-rated cooling appliances engineered to out-perform even desert heat
• Weather-tight outdoor cabinets that keep your stored items clean and dry no matter what the weather
• Cooktops featuring a wok-ready design with four concentric burner rings
• A lobster boil with a lowered deck for large pots
• A gas-fired pizza oven that delivers old-world quality crust but is ready to cook in less than an hour
• Outdoor kitchen design support and complete CAD drawings for every outdoor kitchen plan

The Best Outdoor Cooking Performance

Kalamazoo invented hybrid grilling, and though some rivals have tried to follow us, none have been able to successfully copy our engineering that can so seamlessly switch between any combination of cooking with charcoal, wood and gas.

Whether you choose one of our hybrid grills or gas grills, our advanced cooking concept effortlessly delivers on a broader range of outdoor cooking techniques than any other built-in grill on the market.

• Exclusive Kalamazoo Dragon Burners deliver even, controllable heat. Weighing in at more than 12 pounds each, our burners are the only cast stainless steel bow-tie-shaped burners in the world. Kalamazoo Dragon Burners are warranted for life.
• Deep hopper engineering delivers superior heat dynamics for a wide variety of cooking techniques while also virtually eliminating flare-ups. Another benefit of our exclusive engineering is hassle-free cleaning. Kalamazoo built-in grills do not use a shallow drip tray that makes such a mess on most competitive built-in grills.
• Custom cooking surfaces are available, combining each outdoor cook's preferred selection of optimized patterns for cooking meat, fish or vegetables. Even solid stainless steel surfaces are available for flat top cooking and teppanyaki. We laser-cut each custom cooking surface from solid slabs of stainless steel,a nd we can include your initials, logo or other artwork.
• Hybrid grills from Kalamazoo combine the convenience of gas grills with the flavor and cooking experience of charcoal and wood. Charcoal fans no longer need to own two grills or choose between a gas grill that is convenient for weeknights and a charcoal grill to enjoy on the weekends.

Broaden your outdoor cooking repertoire with wok burners, lobster boil and the popular Kalamazoo Outdoor Artisan Pizza Oven.

Superior Outdoor Refrigeration

Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet not only offers the broadest selection of outdoor-rated cooling appliances, we offer the most powerful and energy-efficient units with the finest list of features.

Our units are the only refrigeration that maintains set temperatures in ambient heat up to 120°F. What is magic about that number? Nothing, really, it is as high as the test chamber can go, and our refrigeration does not begin to reach the limits of its cooling capacity at that point.

Kalamazoo outdoor refrigeration features:

• Advanced insulation
• Forced air cooling technology
• Exclusive variable-speed compressors
• Stainless steel interiors and exteriors
• Full-extension glide-out shelving
• UV protectant glass
• Vibration-reducing engineering
• Digital controls

The broadest line available includes more than 25 units in four different widths for undercounter installation or free-standing use:

• Refrigerators and refrigerated drawers
• Freezers and freezer drawers
• Beverage centers
• Wine chillers
• Keg tappers with 1, 2 or 3 taps
• Clear ice maker

The Only Weather-Tight Outdoor Cabinets

Each Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen cabinet is a weather-tight vault that keeps the items stored in your outdoor kitchen clean and dry no matter how severe the weather may get. You can also hose your kitchen clean for the ultimate in low-maintenance convenience.

• Exclusive rain gutter system surrounds each door and drawer opening
• The only all-stainless-steel outdoor cabinets available, from the body, doors and drawers to the hinges, glides, pulls, adjustable legs, toe-kicks and fasteners
• Thoughtful features include pull-out cutting boards, heavy-duty pull-out bases for convenient wood storage, slot systems for utensil racks, sauce racks, waste cans and more
• More than 40 units in the line in multiple sizes and specifications for creating kitchens of virtually an size and shape

Greatest Outdoor Kitchen Design Flexibility

The Kalamazoo Custom Outdoor Kitchen Collection is a complete, modular system for a broad range of kitchen shapes and design styles. Install as a free-standing structure, completely finished in stainless steel, or build your equipment into structures of masonry, stucco, wood, tile or other finishes.

Efficient Installation

Save on installation time and cost with Kalamazoo's integrated system of fully-finished cabinets and equipment. Kalamazoo does not sell "pre-fab" kitchen or grill islands, but the installation cost of a Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen is quite similar to these lower-quality and performance solutions.
