What Alpes Inox has done here is nothing short of spectacular. During the summer months it’s simplicity itself to roll this baby outdoors, lock the wheels and fire up the grill, which brings us to a bit of genius. Alpes Inox lets you do the thing with the French Fries, man.

I have done my fair share of barbecuing, and one of the things that guests tend to do is stand at a distance and watch the poor cook cover himself with smoke and cooking grease. The Evo Flattop Grill, however, pretty much guarantees a group gathered round to watch the cook take it through its paces.

If you’re schlepping things in and out of the house, all you have is what I have, frankly-a barbecue and an ice chest full of beer. Over the years Kalamazoo has been whittling away at the concept of an outdoor kitchen that is nothing less than a complete kitchen moved outdoors.

Metalco is a northern Italian company that has done wonderful things with stainless steel and exotic woods. What I like about the wood part is that it is used more for a decorative element and looks as though it could easily be removed, thereby allowing one to safely store it in the winter months.
