Kalamazoo provides freezers, wine chillers, and keg tappers in 15-, 24-, 48-, and 72-inch widths to match this expanding demand and complement its great grills, giving designers and homeowners maximum options.
Allow Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet to take you on a culinary excursion with their high-end outdoor cooking appliances, which include everything from pizza ovens and BBQ grills to beverage centers and ice makers. In our brand guide, we'll go over all of the outdoor appliances Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet has to offer for an unforgettable, year-round outdoor kitchen.

Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet Overview
Outstanding American workmanship. Every shape, every surface, and every item is handcrafted with intention, pride, and care. Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet is that company.
Kalamazoo was founded in 1906 as a specialized sheet metal fabrication firm, producing metal for the dairy industry for many decades until the Hybrid Fire Grill was introduced in the 1990s. Kalamazoo develops its grills from the ground up for you, handcrafting each unique component to match your outside space. Each member of the Kalamazoo team adds their name to every completed grill, proud of the beauty they make out of steel and fire.
Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet is defined by two words: pride and excellence. Kalamazoo grills are made in America by some of the world's most skilled craftspeople. They provide unsurpassed control and adaptability when it comes to outdoor cooking.
Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet Refrigeration
Your creativity only limits your Kalamazoo outdoor refrigerator design options. The adaptable Kalamazoo refrigeration units offer the discerning homeowner to design an outdoor kitchen that meets all of their requirements. Choose from two lines, Signature and Arcadia, each with its own design language and modular structure. The sleek, modern design will inspire the trendy outdoor cook while also creating a magnificent view to complement your home.
Arcadia Series
Clean lines and modern style characterize Arcadia Series outdoor refrigerators. Arcadia is a full-service modular system with a striking linear design. The series comprises a wide range of completely integrated refrigeration, allowing for virtually limitless choices. This modern line of products may be customized to meet the specific requirements of every project.
Refrigeration that is fully integrated and available in a number of configurations blends in seamlessly with the cabinetry. Choose from more than 25 refrigeration equipment, including beverage centers, ice makers, wine chillers, and keg tappers. Each unit is intended to keep everything cold or frozen, even at high temperatures, while increasing energy efficiency. Variable-speed compressors provide more cooling power. Interiors are made of stainless steel and have improved insulation that is 23 percent thicker than the competitors.
Signature Series
The Signature series has provided the first weatherproof refrigerator system for your outdoor kitchen. Kalamazoo’s Signature range of refrigeration is sleek and stylish, with a seamless stainless-steel look and full-overlay doors. The hand-welded, seamless rain gutter surrounding each door and drawer opening creates a weather-tight cabinet. Everything on the inside is clean, dry, and ready to use.
Extensive testing. Environments that are harsh. Everything Kalamazoo does is built to last by employing 304-grade stainless steel. If you live near seawater, you may have your kitchen constructed with 316L marine-grade stainless steel. A continuous rain gutter protects every door and drawer opening from water and dirt. Signature refrigeration is strong enough to withstand desert heat, and variable-speed compressors boost efficiency.
Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet Grills
Fire needs immediate attention. This is recognized by Kalamazoo outdoor grills.
Feel the rush when the fire practically roars. The noises and smells of grilling fill every sense. After a while, you'll realize you've fundamentally altered your approach to outdoor cooking — and you'll never want to go back.
Kalamazoo Hybrid Fire Grill
The hybrid grill begins with a gas burner. If you prefer wood or charcoal, open the grilling drawer and fill it with the fuel of your choice. Start your fire by turning on the gas burners under the drawer. Whatever you want to prepare, this grill can turn it into a delicious feast.
You may sear, singe, slow cook, roast, simmer, blacken, or literally run a match under the cow on the same grill, which can reach temperatures as low as 250 degrees and as high as 1,000 degrees. If you have a need for slow-grilled fish, seared steak, and crisp zucchini, you can cook all three dishes on the same grill at the same time at radically different temperatures. That's correct — all three are on the same grill at the same time!
If the hybrid grill models appeal to you, consider our 51-inch freestanding grill or our 28-inch built-in grill for seamless integration into your outdoor kitchen. Each grill features four cast brass burners varying in power from 97,000 to 141,800 BTUs. Both grills can cook at temperatures ranging from low and moderate to high and fast. Slow roast turkeys or chickens over the rotisserie system's two infrared burners for Thanksgiving feasts.
Kalamazoo Gaucho Grill
A gaucho grill is the ideal Kalamazoo barbecue for individuals who want to make the most of their time outside. Because of the specialized burners, this grill removes the inconvenience of igniting the wood. It will heat up to your desired temperature in 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the type of wood or coal you use. Use the rotisserie with its secret engine moving the chain during cooking. Alternatively, use the 30-inch spoked wheel to elevate or lower the cooking surface. Alternatively, you may utilize the excellent V-shaped grate with an Argentinian design, which includes a mess-free drip pan.
There are three models to choose from. You could go with a freestanding model with or without a side burner and one with a built-in gaucho grill.
For example, this 42-inch Argentinian-style wood-burning Kalamazoo grill is one of the freestanding types with a side burner, massive rotisserie wheel, and a strong gas starting mechanism that instantly ignites the grill cooktop for grilled veggies and fruits. It also doesn't hurt that this classic Argentinian barbecue features an ash collecting system and a special laser-cut cooking surface for simple cleanup. This surface may be customized with initials, logos, artwork, and your choice of patterns for the ideal grilling of meats, fish, and vegetables.
Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet Pizza Oven
Another great option, especially for entertaining, is the Kalamazoo pizza oven. The innovative oven design, which includes precise temperature controls and a hollow region beneath the pizza stone, reacts fast and accurately to temperature changes. This allows the stone to heat up quickly to high temperatures. It just takes a half hour to reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit!
No matter where you stand on the coal oven vs. wood burning argument, Chicago vs. New York style pizza, you can make a masterpiece that surpasses the best-in-class pizza out there with Kalamazoo's pizza oven. When guests create their own favorite pizza, calzones, or fresh fruit dessert pizzas, entertaining becomes much more enjoyable. In addition to pizza, the Kalamazoo grill is great for baking bread, grilling fish, and creating other typical BBQ sides like mac and cheese. Separate burners are available for more versatility. All of these possibilities await your imagination, and the grilling season is in full swing.
Make all the artisan pizzas you want outdoors with this 30-inch Kalamazoo pizza oven. This outdoor oven cooks exquisite Neapolitan pizzas in two minutes at 800 degrees, feeding family and friends in an instant. The countertop artisan fire pizza oven has the heat intensity of a wood-brick oven but the ease and accuracy of a gas flame.
We at Friedmans want to help keep the music, food, and beverages flowing, keeping your guests entertained and fed until the sun goes down. And what's the best way to go about doing it? With a luxury outdoor kitchen created with Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet appliances to keep your drinks and cocktails cold and your steaks and burgers hot and ready, you can enjoy your favorite foods in style.
