5 KILLER OUTDOOR KITCHENS

When throwing hot dogs on a hibachi just won't do, consider these over-the-top gourmet barbecues.

Viking's Outdoor Kitchen

Approximately $24,080

Not even Montana's breathtaking mountains (pictured here in the background) can compete with a complete outdoor kitchen from Viking. First and foremost, the commercial quality gas grill has a 41" cook top with a rotisserie system and an extra-deep burner box for easy temperature control that will keep burgers juicy and corn tender.

Got more Kobe to cook up? This set up includes a 30" charcoal cooker cart, which has side burners big enough to boil large pots of water for lobsters or pasta. The kitchen is also outfitted with a gas range with black porcelain grates, heavy duty stainless steel cabinets for storing condiments and other supplies, a warming drawer, ice machine, refrigerator and a refreshment center with a sink and a built-in cooler that can hold a lot of cold beer.

Calise Outdoor Kitchen

Approximately $55,000 to $60,000

You'll never want to cook inside again once you've installed this outdoor kitchen from Calise. Granite counter tops, natural stone finishing and flattering lighting provide a luxury look. But this kitchen is as functional as anything you'll find in a 5-star restaurant. (Well, almost).

There's a three-burner grill made from heavy duty brushed stainless steel, which has double and triple walled construction for extra heat protection. Also within reach is a heavy duty stainless steel rotisserie, high temperature side burner, large stainless sink, refrigerator, icemaker, pull-out trash drawer and plenty of storage. A fire pit table creates an inviting place to hang out and roast marshmallows after a feast.


Cal Flame Outdoor Theater

Love to barbecue, but bored with the great outdoors? Cal Flame recently introduced an Ultimate Outdoor Theater. It features a marine-grade, anti-fog, anti-glare 63-inch high-definition plasma TV with two subwoofers, surround-sound speakers, a built-in iPod docking station, Sirius Satellite-ready stereo system and gaming system inputs - in addition to three plush, weatherproof outdoor recliners.

Of course, there's also everything you need for a great cook-out, including a five-burner grill with two side burners. And the "Cocktail Center," which has an ice machine, beer tap, fridge and blender makes mixing up margaritas a breeze.


Weber Grill

$2,700

It may not have a plasma TV or granite countertops, but this set up is all you need to sear a steak to perfection. Weber's stainless steel grill, available in liquid propane and natural gas models, has six burners, a rear-mounted rotisserie roaster with motored spit, and smoker box that will add a nice hickory flavor to your ribs. Cordless lights that turn on when the lid is raised, and automatically shut off when it is lowered, are all the luxury a die-hard grill master needs.


DCS Grill Cart

$10,000

For those that want to stow their grill away during the winter months, DCS offers a portable, compact system that doesn't skimp on performance. By adjoining a few cooking components, you can create a free-standing kitchen island that packs a punch. This one has a 41" premium gas grill with rotisserie, side burners, cook top, warming drawer, ice machine, sink, refrigerator and beer dispenser along with lots of cabinet space - all on casters no less. Once the weather warms up, just wheel it out and fire it up.
