Kalamazoo 450HT, from $7,500; kalamazoogourmet.com
This hybrid grill can burn gas, wood or charcoal; a pull-out tray makes it easy to add more briquettes to the fire while cooking. The rotisserie has a cradle, which is more stable than the standard spit with forks. The grill comes with a backup ignition in case the original one breaks. Grates can be customized with initials or a logo.
TEC Sterling G-Series, from $5,950 with cabinet; tecinfrared.com
Thermal Engineering invented the ceramic infrared burners that are now standard on high-end grills. Its new infrared model has stainless steel burners instead, so it’s more durable. A glass shield keeps food from drying out. Plus, the Sterling uses as little as half as much fuel as other grills.
Viking 53-inch, from $8,000 with cart; vikingrange.com
These grills are available with a cart that includes a built-in gas oven, making it easy to prepare everything outside, even dessert. Great for roasting or baking in the summer without heating up the kitchen.
