Basic, But Better

Ready to shop? Every outdoor kitchen starts with a great grill. Even if you don’t have a lot of space to work with, you can fit up-to-date equipment in a compact area.

• Choose modular components for customized installation.

• Opt for materials such as stainless steel and granite that can weather an outdoor setting.

• Stack appliances in tight spaces. This five-burner grill features a rotisserie cooker, and the entire unit sits atop two warming drawers.
