LYNX GRILLS & OUTDOOR KITCHEN

by Product Specialist

It's the day you thought might never arrive: The day you finally have the room, the motivation and the money to invest in an outdoor kitchen.

Now that you're ready to move forward with this exhilarating project, you might view this happy convergence as akin to buying a car. So where should you focus your selection process? In other words, which manufacturer can you count on to deliver exceptional quality and world-class design?

There is one outdoor kitchen manufacturer that stands head and shoulders above the rest, like a proud chef confidently basting a rack of ribs on a fiery grill. And that maker is Lynx.

For everyone who says that building an outdoor kitchen is an opportunity to "extend your indoor living space," Lynx says that an outdoor kitchen can be an extraordinary space unto itself – a grand focal point that can serve as a warm and inviting stage for quiet and intimate family dinners as well as lively neighborhood get-togethers.

Lynx Features

If you're looking for one good reason to "shop Lynx," you'll find eight instead, for exceeding expectations is the Lynx way. Consider these unparalleled features about Lynx grills:

• Seamless welded construction, for quality, strength and beauty.Other manufacturers use screws and fasteners, but Lynx craftsmen rely on a technique called Heliarc welding to produce grills that boast one continuous surface, devoid of gaps and seams. Go ahead and run your fingers and hands over a (cold) Lynx grill. You won't feel one screw, one rough edge or one seam, where moisture and grease collect on ordinary outdoor grills. Then flip a coin – or a burger – to decide which quality you'll appreciate most: the rock-solid strength, the gorgeous look or the minimal clean-up factor of this welding technique.

• Cast brass burners, for even cooking temperatures. Lynx's tough-as-nails alloy burners virtually lock in heat and make them less prone to corrosion. Lynx buttresses this feature with another company hallmark: ceramic briquettes that are secured in place and distribute steady heat.

• A heat stabilizer, to stand up to wind and rain. Lynx wouldn't think of letting inclement weather spoil your outdoor gathering. Its patented stabilizer design effectively "paints a rainbow," deflecting wind and rain and allowing the grills to vent properly.

• Pro-sear variable infrared burners, for exacting, restaurant quality performance. Unlike many outdoor grills that offer only two sear settings – "high" and "off" – Lynx burners are variable, allowing you to sear a filet mignon on "high" and then downshift buttered scallops to "low". If you don't regard yourself as a chef, you'll probably change your mind after firing up a Lynx grill only a few times. Lynx grills are true confidence builders.

• Integrated lighting, so you can see what you're doing (or give those nosy neighbors something to salivate over in the dark). Blue LED lights – another Lynx signature touch – illuminate the control knobs and the grilling surface of Lynx grills. The subdued lighting is as functional as it is breathtaking to look at.

• Hood assist features, for quality you can literally feel. You'd never guess that a Lynx grill hood weighs almost 40 pounds because the carefully positioned springs and balances allow you to lift it with only a single finger. Such attention to detail will make you feel light on your feet, which is a good thing thing because a Lynx outdoor kitchen will probably make you feel like dancing.

• A mirror-edge finish, for quality that literally shines. Lynx craftsmen take as much pride in the inner components of Lynx grills – the parts you don't see – as the exterior parts that cause eyes to pop and jaws to drop. When a kitchen looks and feels good, people naturally gravitate there; a Lynx kitchen will keep them there.

• MyChef^TM technology, for cooks who are hooked on "smart home" functions. Lynx's first-of-its-kind SmartGrill is voice-activated, meaning that it cooks food based on verbal commands. You don't have to sweat the details; the temperature controls have been developed by Lynx's master grillers to ensure mouth-watering results.

Lynx Accessories

While a Lynx freestanding or built-in grill will most likely be the star attraction of your new outdoor kitchen, you'll find plenty of other Lynx amenities to provide the finishing touch – much like a dish of chilled chocolate-covered strawberries makes a fine capstone on a Mediterranean steak dinner. Consider:

• Specialty cooking appliances, such as pizza ovens, warming drawers and cocktail stations

• Refrigeration, including large and compact refrigerators, drop-in coolers, beverage dispensers, wine chillers and, of course, ice machines (because who would want to leave a Lynx outdoor kitchen for even a few minutes to fetch a bucket of ice indoors?)

• Island accessories and grilling tools that anticipate your every need, from sinks and storage to gourmet steak knives
