No Other Grill Cooks Like a Kalamazoo
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 fire, or to
maintain the heat for longer cooking sessions.
Ultimate Versatility Grilling, searing, roasting, smoking, wok cooking,
rotisserie and even baking. The power and versatility of Kalamazoo grills
enable home chefs to passionately pursue every cooking style they de-
sire, on a grill that makes it look effortless.
Custom Cooking Surfaces Homeowners can select their ideal combina-
tion of cooking surface patterns optimized for meat, fish and vegetables.
There is even a solid surface available for teppanyaki-style cooking. For
even further personalization, initials, logos and other artwork can be cut
into the surface. See page 11 for more information.
Easy-to-Use Rotisserie Cradles Forget the spit. Kalamazoo 450 and 900
Series grills come standard with a no-mess rotisserie cradle as part of the
infrared rotisserie system.
Integrated Cabinetry All Kalamazoo built-in and free-standing grills
come standard with integrated cabinetry for storage and access to the
deep hopper cleanout and electronic ignition modules.
Redundant Electronic Ignition The electronic ignition on a Kalamazoo
is a fully-redundant system. There are two independent electronic igniters
wired to each burner for reliable starting.
Hassle-Free Cleaning Any ash, grease and debris funnel down the
deep-hopper design into a cleanout pan that is large enough to hold
everything and deep enough to be easy to handle. There are no shallow
grease trays on a Kalamazoo to slosh all over your patio. Another benefit
of the deep-hopper design is that 99% of flare-ups are eliminated.
“The feature that really puts the Kalamazoo over the top
is that you can easily switch between gas and charcoal or
wood. It is as simple as opening the drawer!”
— Chef Rick Bayless
Wok-ready cooktop cabinets add
convenient storage and expand your
cooking capabilities.
Revolutionary hybrid grilling drawer

Built-In Grills with Stainless Steel Cabinets
Kalamazoo is the only manufacturer to offer built-in grills that include their
own stainless steel cabinets as a standard feature. Why? The Advanced
Cooking Concept at the core of every grill we make utilizes a deep cook-
box that extends far below the grilling surface for improved heat dynamics
and a broader range of outdoor cooking techniques. And, the hassle-free
cleaning system funnels down to a large and deep pan conveniently ac-
cessed 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 heavier-
guage stainless steel than our rivals, so much, in fact, that a Kalamazoo
900HB weighs-in at over 500 pounds.

Why settle for a run-of-the-mill side burner when you can have a
32,000 BTU wok-ready cooktop in your outdoor kitchen. Our ingenious
design uses four concentric rings of fire. To simmer sauces and glazes
at low temperatures, the two inner rings provide controlled heat. Turn the
burner up to high and all four rings kick in for rapid boiling or other high-
temperature work.
Kalamazoo cooktops are available for built-in installations (photo at left)
or mounted in a convenient storage cabinet.

Kalamazoo Built-In Grill Accessories
We offer a wide assortment of unique grill accessories that help make outdoor cooking an even
better experience. What else would you expect from the pioneers who invented the hybrid grill?
Custom Cooking Surfaces Laser cut from solid slabs of stainless steel
up to 1/4” thick, Kalamazoo’s custom cooking surfaces combine patterns
specially developed for the best performance with different types of food
and styles of cooking. Create any combination of these patterns and further
customize with initials, logo or other artwork (see the photo at left). The
sheer mass of these robust surfaces helps ensure great grill marks every
time. Solid surface areas are also available for teppanyaki-style cooking.
Cooktop Griddle Specially designed and fabricated for Kalamazoo wok-
ready side burners, this heavy stainless steel griddle is perfect for fajitas
and stir-fry.
Sunbrella Grill Covers A Kalamazoo is built to withstand the elements,
but covering the grill helps it stay clean and always at the ready. And
since a Kalamazoo deserves to be covered by nothing but the best, we
make all our covers from black Sunbrella™ fabric, silk-screened with the
Kalamazoo logo.
Grilling Rubs Kalamazoo has created signature spice blends using all-
natural ingredients that take make it easy to create bold flavors on the
grill. From the earthy coffee flavors of our ZaZa Barbecue Rub to the rich
garlic and herbs of the Kalamazoo Rub, there is a perfect compliment
available for most any food. Check out all five blends at
www.KalamazooGourmet.com.
Grillmaster’s Apron Our logo apron shows you take pride in your grilling
and in your grill. This is a full-length butcher’s apron in heavy black twill
with a stain-resistant finish.
