Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet's origins trace back to 1906 and the original grill designed for W.E. Upjohn by Lewis Bullard and Kalamazoo Sheet Metal.

As the recognized world leader in waterless cookware since 1939, we demanded nothing short of the best when seeking a partner to manufacture our line of outdoor cooking and entertaining equipment. The search began and ended with Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, another Midwestern manufacturing company with a long history of innovation and leadership. Kalamazoo has been the top name in metal fabrication for over 100 years, and we are proud to say they manufacture our outdoor cooking and entertaining line of barbeque grills and pizza oven.

Kalamazoo K900HS Hybrid Grill with Side Burner
"NEW" from Health Craft

Cook with wood, charcoal and gas all on the same grill!

When Bryan Miller of National Public Radio was interviewing Steven Raichlen, grilling guru and author of over 25 books on barbecue, he asked Steven "just for fun" what was the biggest, meanest, off-the-charts grill in the land.

Stephen’s Response: "It's big, stainless steel and all pure performance," Steven Raichlen effused about the Kalamazoo Dual-Fuel Grill when asked what he thought was the biggest, meanest, off-the-charts gas grill in the land.

Kalamazoo K900HS Hybrid Free-Standing Grill with Side Burner
Kalamazoo K900HS Hybrid Free-Standing Grill with Side Burner
For years the argument has raged on about charcoal and wood versus gas barbecues. Which is better? Wood imparts flavor that gas on its own will not, and gas offers convenience that wood or charcoal can't match. Rather than joining the argument, we've engineered a solution… our exclusive and revolutionary Gourmet Hybrid Grilling Drawer System.

Kalamazoo's revolutionary hybrid grilling system enables the serious outdoor gourmet to conveniently use any combination of wood, charcoal or gas on one stainless steel hybrid grill.

Load
charcoal or wood into the interchangeable drawers above the powerful cast stainless steel gas burners and the grill is ready for flavorful solid fuel grilling. Use the ceramic-lined drawers for gas-only cooking. Either way, cleanup is a breeze with our deep-hopper clean out system that funnels down to disposable aluminum drip pans.

No other grill combines the convenience of gas burners with a high-performance charcoal and wood grill. If you like the flavor of foods cooked with an open wood flame, a Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet Hybrid Grill may be right for you.

Side-by-side drawers on Kalamazoo 900 Series Hybrid Grills offer ultimate flexibility and performance.
Side-by-side drawers on Kalamazoo 900 Series Hybrid Grills offer ultimate flexibility and performance.

How the hybrid grill drawers work:

Each pair of hybrid grill drawers includes one drawer for gas grilling and one for charcoal or wood grilling.
  • Kalamazoo 450 Series Hybrid grill models include one pair of hybrid drawers, using only one drawer at a time.
  • Kalamazoo 900 Series Hybrid grill models include two pairs of hybrid drawers, using two drawers at a time (in any combination).
Gas hybrid grilling drawers are lined with the same high-performance ceramic heat retention briquettes you'll find on our gas-only grill models. Using a Hybrid Grill with the gas grilling drawer(s) in place is just like using any of our gas grill models.

Charcoal/wood hybrid grilling drawers are lined with stainless steel open air racks to hold charcoal or wood above the gas burners. With the charcoal/wood hybrid grilling drawers in place, you can grill with the solid fuel alone or supplemented with the burners.

Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet Hybrid Grilling with Grape Vine Chunks: The main burners can be used to provide primary grilling heat while wood chunks provide flavor... or use more wood chunks to provide the primary grilling heat and the burners just to get the wood started.

Taking advantage of the hybrid grill system:

The Gourmet Hybrid Grilling Drawer System can be used a variety of ways…
  • Load charcoal or wood chunks in the charcoal/wood hybrid grilling drawers, and use the gas burners to accelerate starting. You'll be ready to grill much sooner than on a standard charcoal or wood grill, and you can turn off the burners once the coals or wood chunks are ready.
  • Load the charcoal/wood hybrid grilling drawer(s) with hickory limbs, supplemented by the main burners underneath. Steaks grilled over an open fire in this way can be seared quickly and benefit from the fantastic flavors imparted by wood.
  • Use charcoal in the wood/charcoal hybrid grilling drawer(s) and take advantage of the unique design to redistribute or add coals without disrupting the cooking surface.
  • On a Kalamazoo 900 Series Hybrid Grill, you can take advantage of the side-by-side hybrid grilling drawer configuration to use gas alone on one half of the grill and charcoal or wood on the other. Of course, you can set up the entire 864 square inches for grilling with a single fuel type.

Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet grills support any cooking technique, from smoking at 200 degrees to searing at 1,000 degrees.

Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet's Advanced Cooking System

The most important design consideration for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet stainless steel grills is performance. Each gourmet gas or hybrid grill is engineered around our deep hopper cooking concept. The deep hopper engineering gives you superior heat dynamics and real hassle-free cleaning.

How deep? The entire cook box on a Kalamazoo 900 Series stainless steel gourmet grill is nearly three feet deep. Designing this kind of space from the top of the hood to the bottom of the hopper creates superior heat dynamics.

Optimal gas burner placement and power supports any grilling or barbecuing technique. The convection heat effect is ideal for indirect grilling techniques.

Advanced Cooking System Deep Hopper Design Demonstrated on a Kalamazoo 900 Series Gas Grill:

Robust, Hand-Fabricated Stainless Steel Grill Construction.

Each Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet 900 Series or 450 Series stainless steel gourmet grill is hand-built and welded from the ground up around the deep hopper. The heavy-gauge stainless steel frames and robust construction ensure a lifetime of high-performance service.

A 36" x 24" (864 square inch) primary grilling area makes Kalamazoo 900 Series Grill the perfect choice for backyard gourmets who often cook for medium to large groups of family and friends. The extra space is also great for those who frequently use indirect cooking techniques.

The Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet Dragon Burner was designed in cooperation with professional chefs and is the only cast stainless steel bow tie burner available anywhere.

Exclusive Cast Stainless Steel Grill Burner System

The Dragon Burner is the only cast stainless steel bow tie-shaped burner available today. These burners were designed with input from chefs around the world, and chefs know bow tie burners deliver superior and more evenly distributed heat performance.

Hassle-Free Grill Cleaning

The deep hopper not only improves the heat dynamics, it virtually eliminates flare-ups. The hopper funnels down to a convenient, disposable drippings collector so cleaning your grill is quick and easy.

Vent Control Grill Hood

Oxygen flow is critical to grill heat performance, and that is why Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet stainless steel grills feature a vented hood design.

You control the oxygen flow with the easy-sliding vent baffle — wide open for high-temperature direct grilling, or mostly closed for indirect cooking techniques or smoking.


Infrared Rotisserie Cradle System

Dedicated infrared rotisserie burners are standard on all 450 Series and 900 Series gourmet stainless steel grills. Positioned perfectly within the deep hood, the rotisserie cradle system adds to the Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet grill cooking prowess.

Plank-Grilled Pork Loin in Orange Sauce

Serves: 6 to 8

Ingredients:

2lb Pork Tenderloin

Sea Salt (to taste)

Cracked Pepper (to taste)

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Cherry Plank large enough for the Pork Tenderloin

Orange Sauce:

1 Medium Orange, Peeled and Cubed

1 Medium Orange, Sliced

1 Cup Fresh-Squeezed Orange Juice

1 Medium Yellow Onion, Sliced

¾ Cup Chicken Broth

1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar

¼ Cup Orange Marmalade

½ Tablespoon Corn Starch

1 Tablespoon Cold Filtered Water

 

Cooking Directions:

 

Prepare your cherry plank by submerging it in water with a few orange slices for at least two hours prior to grilling.

 

While your Kalamazoo is preheating to 600°F, rub the pork loin with salt and pepper, and then lightly brush it with olive oil and sear on the grill, approximately 1 minute per side. Remove the loin from the grill, place on the prepared cherry plank and arrange orange slices on top.

 

Leave your grill hood open, lower the temperature of your grill to low and wait 3-5 minutes until the grill temperature is approximately 350°F. Place the plank with the loin on your grill surface and grill for approximately 20-30 minutes. The pork loin will be done when its internal temperature is at 160°F.

While your pork loin is grilling, heat the olive oil in a medium skillet, then add the onions and sauté on medium heat until translucent (about 5-10 minutes). Add all of the remaining ingredients except the cornstarch and water to the skillet and bring to a boil for five minutes. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes while the loin continues to cook. Mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl.

Bring the orange sauce back to a low boil and add the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, approximately 3-5 minutes.

 

In the last few minutes of grilling, brush the pork loin with a small amount of the orange sauce. After removing the pork loin from the grill and letting it rest for at least 10 minutes, cut into serving slices, top with the remaining orange sauce and serve.

Rack of Lamb with Savory Rosemary Rub

Serves: 2 to 3

Ingredients:

1 Frenched rack of lamb, 1½ to 2 pounds, 8 ribs

1 large garlic clove, sliced thin, 7 slices

Olive oil

For the Savory Rub

3 large garlic cloves, minced fine in food processor

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

1 ½ teaspoon freshly ground or coarse sea salt

1 ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or pepper blend

Fresh, finely grated lemon zest from one lemon


For Smoking: Large handful dry alder wood chips,
soaked for at least an hour

 

Cooking Directions:

Prepare the savory rub by mixing the fresh ingredients in a bowl. If tightly sealed, the rub will keep refrigerated overnight.

 

Prepare grill for 500°F indirect grilling. If your grill requires the use of all main burners to maintain 500°F, you will not be able to use the indirect method, but the recipe will still work for you.

 

Prepare alder wood chips for smoking in a tinfoil smoking pouch.

 

The lamb should reach room temperature before being put on the grill, so time the grill preparation accordingly.

 

Prepare the lamb by trimming off the outside fat and removing the membrane from the bone side. If the butcher did not French the rack of lamb for you, trim the meat from the last 3 or so inches of the bone, and scrape the bone clean with a knife.

 

From the bone side, cut a very small slit into the meat between each bone and insert a thin garlic slice.


The slits you make should be as small as possible while still allowing the garlic to be inserted.


Wrap each exposed bone in foil to protect the bone from burning (they will break off very easily if burnt on the grill).

 

Brush the lamb lightly with the olive oil, and then rub the savory rub into all sides of the meat. The lamb should rise to room temperature before grilling, but should not sit out more than 30 minutes, including the time spent trimming and prepping the lamb.

 

Grill the lamb for about 25 minutes, turning about every five to seven minutes. If the rack of lamb cooperates, you should be able to grill it in three different positions: bone-side down; bone-side up; and bones sticking straight up in the air. The lamb should spend one five-minute session with the bones sticking straight up in the air. Keep the grill hood closed as much as possible. For medium rare, remove the lamb when a meat thermometer reads 135°F.

 

Place the lamb on a platter or carving board and cover loosely with foil for about three minutes. Remove the tinfoil from the bone tips, and slice the ribs apart into individual chops for serving.

Tips for Quick-Grilling Ten Great Foods

Rick has been selected as Food & Wine
magazine's Best New Chef of the Year and has won the James Beard and IACP awards for Chef of the Year. We are delighted to share Rick's Tips for Quick-Grilling Ten Great Foods.

Adapted for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet from Mexican Everyday by Rick Bayless with Deann Groen Bayless


Skirt or Flank Steak

These are two deliciously beefy-tasting cuts, flank being the leanest (and driest if cooked past medium). Outside skirt is smaller, thicker and tenderer than inside skirt. Inner skirt is often butter-flied by Mexican butchers for grilling or griddling to well done and chopping into little bits for street-stall–style soft tacos. Outer skirt is more worthy of the name “steak.”

 

SETUP FOR YOUR KALAMAZOO GRILL:
Direct grilling on a gas grill—all main burners on medium-high for grilling at 500 to 600 degrees. 

Direct grilling on a hybrid grill—Start a medium amount of wood chunks or lump charcoal over all main burners on high. Once wood or charcoal has started turn all main burners to low or off for grilling at 500 to 600 degrees.

GREAT FLAVOR COMBOS:
For skirt steak,
Yucatecan Garlic-Spice Marinade with Guacamole; for flank steak, Adobo Marinade with Toasty Guajillo Chile Salsa
.

GRILLING SKILLS:
Both of these very beefy-tasting cuts like to be cooked quickly over direct heat to a medium doneness—too rare, and they will be chewy; too well done, and they can be tough and dry (especially flank steak). Letting the flank steak rest for several minutes after grilling promotes juiciness. Both must be sliced across the grain, or they will be stringy. For skirt steak, that means cutting the meat into 3- or 5-inch sections, then cutting each section across the grain into strips. For flank, working across its width, slice the meat into long thin strips; angling your cut (what chef’s call a “bias cut”) will give you the widest, nicest-looking strips. If you've seen street vendors cook skirt steak well-done in Mexico, you may have noticed also that they chop it into small pieces before making it into tacos (this mitigates the resulting toughness).

 

Yucatecan Garlic-Spice Marinade
Adobo de Escabeche

These exotic flavors, reminiscent of those from North Africa, show up in two ways in Mexico’s Yucatan markets: a dry packet of spices which cooks elaborate with vinegar, garlic and, often, oil; and a seasoning paste (there called a recado) which cooks dilute with more vinegar (or lime) and sometimes oil. Either way, the flavors have the alluring aroma of cinnamon and cloves, the spicy pungency of black pepper and the mellowness of fragrant roasted garlic. The combination has become an iconic seasoning for Yucatan chicken, fish and thin-cut grilled steaks, but I have another suggestion: an outstanding salad dressing for tomatoes, grilled green beans or steamed chayote can be made by mixing a couple of tablespoons of the marinade with an additional 2 tablespoons vinegar and an additional 1/3 to ½ cup oil.

Makes about ½ cup

1 head of garlic, broken into individual cloves (expect about 12 cloves)

1/3 cup vegetable or olive oil

6 tablespoons vinegar (apple cider vinegar is common in Mexico)

A pinch of ground cloves

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, preferably Mexican canela

1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican

½ teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon salt

Cut a slit in the side of each garlic clove, place them into a microwaveable bowl, cover with plastic and microwave them on high for 30 seconds. Cool until handle able, and then slip off the papery husks.

One by one, drop the garlic cloves into a running blender or food processor, letting each get thoroughly chopped before adding the next. Stop the machine, remove the top and add the remaining ingredients. Re-cover and process until the mixture is as smooth as you can get it. Scrape into a small jar, cover and refrigerate for up to a month or more. 

 

Toasty Arbol (or Guajillo) Salsa

Salsa Roja de Chile de Arbol (or Guajillo) Asado

 

From the first bite of this salsa, you know you're not in Kansas anymore. The crimson of American salsa's ripe tomato has been transformed into an earthy rusty red. Natural sweetness gets jazzed with tomatillo brightness. Thick and chunky, perfect for chips, gives way to light and nearly smooth—this is a classic, spicy Mexican salsa that's meant to drizzle over tacos, tostadas, eggs and anything from the grill. When made from arbol chilies, the salsa is very spicy.

Makes 1 cups

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

16 (1/4 ounce total) árbol chiles, stemmed
OR 2 (1/2 ounce total) guajillo chilies, stemmed

3 garlic cloves, peeled

4 medium (about 8 ounces total) tomatillos, husked, rinsed and cut in half

Salt

 

Measure the oil into a large (10-inch) skillet and set over medium heat. Roll the árbol chilies between your fingers to loosen the seeds, then break them in half and shake out as many seeds as will come out easily. If using guajillos, tear them open and sweep out the seeds with your fingers. Lay the chiles in the hot oil. Turn constantly until they're aromatic and have changed color slightly, about 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon, scoop the chiles into a blender jar, leaving behind as much oil as possible.

With a paper towel, wipe out the oil from the skillet (no need to wash it). Set the skillet over medium-high heat and lay in the garlic and tomatillos (cut side down). When the tomatillos are well browned, about 4 minutes, turn everything over and brown the other side. Scoop into the blender jar and add ½ cup water. Blend until nearly smooth. Pour into a salsa dish and cool.

Thin out with a little additional water if necessary to give the salsa an easily spoon able consistency. Taste and season with salt usually about ½ teaspoon.
