Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet is widely recognized for their stellar design and construction. Their unique hybrid fuel design allows cooks to use gas, charcoal, wood or any combination. Many top chefs love these beautiful machines and if you get a chance to see one in action, it’s easy to understand why. They occupy a rarefied space in the BBQ cosmos by manufacturing some of the best grills money can buy. And you will need a lot of money to buy one. They cost as much as a car. Is Kalamazoo worth the price? Most of us can’t afford to realistically entertain that question, but check out Kalamazoo’s American Craftsmanship video below to get an idea of what goes into the making of these beautiful machines.

On the one hand, the food quality off that grill is certainly not going to be any better than the same food cooked on the SNS with a skilled chef. The chef matters.
So, this is purely for looks over function.
It’s also one of those products where if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it.

If I am spending that much on a cooking device it is going to be made by either Sonny Moberg (Moberg Smoker)s, Jamie Geer (Jambo Pits), Austin Smoke Works, or the folks at Primitive Pits.
But I would likely save a few grand and get a custom BQ Grill (my bucket list pit).
