"THE BEST GAS GRILL IN THE
WORLD" THAT "DOES EVERYTHING
BETTER"
"The best gas grill in the world
1
" and "It does everything
better
2
." Bold statements drafted by a Kalamazoo Outdoor
Gourmet
™
catalog writer? Actually, they are words based on
independent tests of the triple-fuel Hybrid Fire Grill by some of
the grilling industry's most respected experts.
Versatility and cooking power are the hallmarks of the
Kalamazoo Hybrid Fire Grill
™
, the only collection of grills that
give outdoor cooks the freedom to combine wood, charcoal
and gas fires for the ultimate in heat, flavor and convenience.
The key to grilling-fuel freedom is the Hybrid Grilling Drawer
™
.
Located below the cooking surfaces and above the grill's
Dragon Burners
™
, the drawer can be loaded with splits or
chunks of wood or any kind of charcoal, and its perforations
easily discard ash. A real wood fire creates flavors unattainable
with a standard gas grill, and the intense, dry heat of charcoal
is the grill master's key to a perfect steak. The Dragon Burners
(25,000 BTUs each) start the cooking fire and can be left on
for a boost of heat as the charcoal or wood burns down.
If a gas fire is called for, leave the Hybrid Grilling Drawer
empty. The H-shaped Dragon Burners sit farther below the
grill grates than other grills, delivering dramatically more even
heat, virtually eliminating flare-ups and preventing cold spots.
The burners cook at a low-and-slow 250° F or crank up to a
searing 750° F. When using charcoal or wood, the grill's
temperatures extends from 150° F all the way up to 1,200° F–
that's grill-gloves-to-the-elbow heat.
All that heat travels through the Hybrid Grill's three-foot-tall
cooking chamber in a convection-like current that bathes foods
in even heat, making the grill excel at indirectly cooking turkeys,
roasts, briskets and more. Even steaks and burgers benefit
from indirect cooking.
