Kalamazoo Grills - Easily Shop & Compare

Kalamazoo was founded in 1906 as Kalamazoo Sheet Metal. Along the way it changed hands and its name to Kalamazoo Grill, then later rebranded again to Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet. Today, more than 110 years later, Kalamazoo manufactures the most high-quality, well-designed, and fun appliances, from grills and pizza ovens, to smokers and refrigerators for the luxury, at-home, outdoor cooking experience.

Each Kalamazoo piece is custom-designed and handmade just for you, so you can design your entire outdoor entertaining space around your choice of appliances and cabinetry. The Kalamazoo design team is truly unlike any other. For starters, they will come to your home - at no cost to you, and help you design the perfect outdoor entertainment space. Their attention to detail is unmatched, as they weave together the environmental elements of your space such as wind direction, sun/shade, and the layout of your yard, together with your style of entertaining, what kind of memories you want to make, and the neighborhood grill-master accolades you seek and deserve.

Kalamazoo Sheet Metal was originally known for welding to the "dairy standard". For sanitary purposes, only the smoothest handmade welds are acceptable for storing dairy for commercial purposes, and Kalamazoo takes immense pride in applying this same level of hand-welding craftsmanship to each of their grills today. Their appliances are also weatherproof and so well-built that Kalamazoo happily offers a transferable 25-year warranty.

In addition to superior design and quality, Kalamazoo also understands that spending time in your outdoor kitchen is supposed to be fun. They also understand that sometimes ‘having fun’ means ‘playing with fire’. To increase your happiness, they’ve outfitted their grills with three separate fuel sources - gas, charcoal, and wood, and you can fire up all at the same time! Don’t worry about losing any eyebrows because they've also included enhanced safety features that practically eliminate flare-ups and keep the fire where it belongs - inside the grill. Other premium components that set these grills and appliances apart include advanced air circulation, cooking surfaces, burners, ignitions, and easy cleaning. They also include an amazing cookbook with recipes and cooking guides.

When you purchase a Kalamazoo kitchen, you get so much more than appliances and cabinetry. This iconic brand, with more than 110 years of cooking history, inspires its users to explore a wide range of cooking and grilling styles. Want to grill fish? Check. Bake bread? Check? Cook pizza? Check. Play with fire? Check. Even more than that, Kalamazoo Gourmet Outdoor kitchens come with a built-in community, from access to superior design support and customer service, to a community of other grill masters with whom to share fun tips and tricks...and even a little glory.
