Why Choose Kalamazoo?

Since 1906, the distinctive grills from Kalamazoo have enjoyed a loyal following among those who are passionate about cooking. Back then, a little sheet metal company run by an eccentric inventor and entrepreneur built the first grill bearing the Kalamazoo name. Over 100 years later, we are designing and building a complete collection of outdoor cooking and entertaining equipment that sets the standard for performance, quality and innovation.

Whether you dream of a custom outdoor kitchen with all the amenities, or simply want the ultimate grill for your patio, Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet is the name you need to know.

Awesome Gas and Hybrid Grills

Our grills set the standard for outdoor cooking performance with superior power, a hassle-free cleanout system, unique custom laser-cut cooking surfaces and a full repertoire of cooking techniques. And, our revolutionary hybrid grills cook with any combination of charcoal, wood and gas for ultimate convenience and flavor.

• Cast stainless steel Kalamazoo Dragon Burners™ are warranted for life and deliver over 115 BTUs per square inch of primary cooking area. The bow-tie shape creates even, controllable heat
• Reduced flare-ups and dynamic heat circulation through our deep-hopper engineering provides the best direct and indirect cooking performance available
• Custom cooking surfaces are available with optimized patterns for grilling meat, fish or vegetables
• Hybrid grills cook with any combination of charcoal, wood and gas
• Kalamazoo grills are built like tanks. Customer grills have survived the fiercest hurricanes and been used to feed the neighborhood for weeks in the aftermath
