Shokunin Kamado Grill
by Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet
LOOKING FOR A COOL APPLIANCE to help enhance the outdoor experience for your clients?
The Shokunin Kamado Grill has improved on the
traditional model with features that include an adjustable fire grate system that accommodates three
cooking positions: smoking, roasting and searing.
Users can choose charcoal or wood - or a combination of the two - when using this grill, which can
maintain a temperature of 225 degrees for 65 hours
on 12 lbs. of charcoal. The stainless-steel $5,995

Shokunin Kamado Grill design was inspired by
high-end furniture, as seen in the ipe wood detail
on the frame and handle. According to Russ Faulk,
Kalamazoo's chief designer and head of product,
the basics of this grill are very easy for beginners to
learn, but there are more advanced techniques that
open up as the client's experience grows. Judges
chose this product for its well-thought-out design
and performance characteristics.

available, and the sink bowl can also be made

more conventional usage.The judges chose this
