To be the king of outdoor cooking, look to Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet. The company crafts completely handmade and customizable grills. While gas-fired, the grills offer a clever slide-out tray allowing the user to work with charcoal, wood chunks or even logs to complete the grilling experience. The system gives the grills tremendous flexibility, offering temperatures as high as 1,200°F (enough to buckle the hoods of lesser grills) and as low as 150°. Cooking grates can be customized with initials, logos or even a family crest. Available as built-ins or freestanding.
