Outdoor Cooking Passion
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 fi rst 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 fl avor. Learn more

Custom Outdoor Kitchen Collection
Everything you need for the ultimate outdoor kitchen, including design support, is available
from Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet. We work with design professionals and homeowners to
plan the ideal outdoor cooking and entertaining retreat for each home.
Flexible Style Contemporary or classic, the choice is yours. All Kalamazoo
equipment and cabinets are fully-fi nished in stainless steel. Add the countertop of your choice for a sleek and modern style in gleaming stainless
steel. Or, integrate masonry, stucco, wood and other classic materials with
our modular system for a versatile range of aesthetics. The design possibilities are endless.
Design Basics The modular Kalamazoo system is built on a standard depth
of 30 inches so that every kitchen design can accommodate any of our

Outdoor Engineering Everything Kalamazoo builds is designed from
the ground-up to perform outdoors, including our cabinets. From the
full-extension all stainless steel drawer glides — to the hinges and other
marine-grade hardware — to the double-wall cabinet design and heavygauge material — every aspect of our construction speaks to the quality
and durability of our outdoor kitchen cabinets. Most importantly, the
seamless rain gutter surrounding every door and drawer opening makes
each Kalamazoo cabinet a weather-tight vault — the only cabinets that will
keep your tools, linens, serving pieces and spices clean and dry no matter
what mother nature throws at them. Our cabinets and equipment are all
designed for easy cleaning and low maintenance.

Kalamazoo System Design Basics
The Custom Outdoor Kitchen Collection by Kalamazoo eliminates many of the challenges
inherent to designing the outdoor dream kitchen. Not only does the collection include every
imaginable option for outdoor cooking and entertaining, the modular engineering makes
design and installation easier.
Free-Standing or Masonry Integration A Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen is fully-fi nished in hand-rubbed stainless steel.
There is no need to specify or order fi nishing panels to complete the look of a free-standing kitchen design. Each
Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen cabinet is a complete unit with fi nished front, sides and back. The system is also fully
compatible with masonry, stucco or other surrounds while reducing the labor required from these trades.
Uniform Depth All cabinets are 30" deep, including base cabinets, sink bases, appliance cabinets and accessories like
the end cap shelves, 45-degr
Kalamazoo grills. All back fi ller panels are designed to support the countertop behind system components that are less than
30" deep such as the grills and undercounter appliances. With a 1" overhang on all sides, the counter depth for a standard
Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen is 32".
Adjustable Height All cabinets and grills stand on stainless steel leveling legs. These legs compensate for uneven surfaces
and allow a range of fi nished counter heights. The system is optimized for 1.25"-thick solid surface counters with a counter
height of 36". Cabinets have a range of adjustment of plus or minus 0.75". Grills can adjust plus or minus 1.5" to allow for
higher or thicker countertops.

include cabinets underneath for storage and hassle-free cleanout access. Kalamazoo does not make a “drop-in” grill. All grills
stand on their own adjustable stainless steel legs (see the grill overview on page 12).
Refrigeration Options Kalamazoo offers a full range of refrigeration for undercounter installations in four widths: 15", 24",
48" and 72". The line includes wine chillers, keg tappers and beverage centers plus the only outdoor
and the only refrigerators suitable for food storage (see page 18).
Appliance Cabinets All appliance cabinets include GFCI electrical outlets inside to supply power to the appliances. The
outlets must be har
24" appliances can be installed in a 48" appliance cabinet. All appliance cabinets measure 9" wider than the appliance size
(the appliance surround for 48" appliances is 57" wide). Appliance cabinets create an insulating air gap for appliances to be
installed next to a grill.
Appliance Back Filler Panels All appliance back fi ller panels include GFCI electrical outlets to supply power to the
appliances. The outlets must be hard-wired according to local codes. Back panels are available for 24" and 15" appliances.
A back panel can only be used between a pair of cabinets. The panel mounts to these cabinets. Any two Kalamazoo cabinets
can be used to fl ank the back panel, including base cabinets, sink bases, appliance cabinets or corner units. End cap shelves
can also be used. Because a back panel is supported by the cabinets to either side, two back panels may not be used
adjacent to each other. Back panels may not be used adjacent to a grill or the umbrella insert.
Counter-Height and Bar-Height Seating Counter overhang brackets are available to support a 10" to 12" counter over-

seating as part of the kitchen.

No wonder Kalamazoo grills inspire such a loyal following. Over 115 BTUs per square inch of
primary cooking power. The ability to cook with any combination of charcoal, wood and gas.
Real hassle-free cleaning. Custom cooking surfaces. The advantages are unrivaled.
Hybrid Cooking with Charcoal, Wood and Gas Changing fuels is as
easy as opening the hybrid grilling drawer. Our powerful gas burners are
located below the hybrid drawer system. Use the burners alone to cook
with gas, or place wood or charcoal in the drawer. The gas burners can
be used to quickly and conveniently start a wood or charcoal fi re, or to
maintain the heat for longer cooking sessions.
Ultimate Versatility Grilling, searing, roasting, smoking, wok cooking,

enable home chefs to passionately pursue every cooking style they
desire, on a grill that makes it look effortless.

Cooking Concept at the core of every grill we make utilizes a deep cookbox
that extends far below the grilling surface for improved heat dynamics
and a broader range of outdoor cooking techniques. And, the hasslefree cleaning system funnels down to a large and deep pan conveniently
accessed within the cabinet. A Kalamazoo reaches all the way down to the
patio and stands on its own adjustable leveling legs for easy installation.
Each Kalamazoo is built to last and covered by a lifetime warranty. We build
the grills around a fully-welded stainless steel frame, and use much heavierguage stainless steel than our rivals, so much, in fact, that a Kalamazoo
