Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet™ New Products Broaden Design Options On The Custom Outdoor Kitchen Collection

CHICAGO, IL (March 6, 2008) – Continuing to expand on the product selection and improve the usability of its Custom Outdoor Kitchen Collection, Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet™— the renowned maker of high-performance grills and outdoor kitchens— introduced three new design options: 45° Insert, Blind Corner Unit and Umbrella Insert.

45° Insert

Kalamazoo’s new 45° Insert forms a 45° bend between two cabinet runs or other equipment, allowing for increased design flexibility in outdoor kitchen projects. Using the new inserts, Kalamazoo outdoor kitchens can now feature a grill or any other equipment choice as a corner unit. As with all Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet cabinetry, it is hand-crafted entirely of stainless steel.

Blind Corner Unit

Kalamazoo has added the Blind Corner Unit to the modular system to allow for the smallest foot print possible with an L-shaped kitchen design. This new option, manufactured exclusively of stainless steel, is well suited for a seamless look in an outdoor kitchen design and for smaller outdoor kitchen spaces.

Umbrella Insert

The Umbrella Insert mounts between two cabinets for a market umbrella to rise through a corresponding hole in the custom countertop. This addition to the Collection allows for convenient shading and adds to the general comfort of the cook and guests enjoying the outdoor kitchen.

With the addition of these new products, Kalamazoo’s full line of outdoor cooking components, refrigeration appliances and modular cabinetry increases to more than 75 devices, allowing for limitless design configurations and easy installation. Kalamazoo outdoor kitchens can be installed as either free-standing, for a gleaming stainless steel look, or incorporated into other materials such as masonry, stucco or wood.
