What's cookin' in the backyard? This year's hottest new grills, from wood-fired to infrared, paired with the perfect recipes. Plus, our expert advice on grill maintenance and repair

Japanese Style

The Kalamazoo Edo sculptural grill, inspired by Japanese food and design, could easily be mistaken for a table. The unique design features two panels of hand-textured stainless steel that slide open to reveal an 18-inch-by-24-inch grilling surface, with counter space on either side. Two control zones with a total of 50,000 BTUs are powered by Kalamazoo’s signature cast stainless steel dragon burner system. Liquid propane is standard; natural gas is an option. Approximate retail price is $6,995.

It's Amore

Turn your backyard into an alfresco pizza parlor with Kalamazoo's Outdoor Artisan Pizza Oven, featuring a 30,000 BTU stainless steel gas burner and a professional composite baking stone. A digital thermometer allows you to bake a low-temperature deep-dish or a high-temperature thin-crust pie. If you prefer the flavor of wood-fired pizza, then you’ll love the integrated smoking drawer. Retails for approximately $3,990.

Master Griller

Grill, smoke, sear, spit-roast, bake, and even boil on Kalamazoo’s dual-fuel hybrid grill. Interchangeable gas, charcoal, and wood drawers are situated above cast stainless steel gas burners. Use one or two drawers at a time depending on the size of the grill. Charcoal and wood can be layered for added flavor; stoking is as easy as opening the drawer.
