The summer sun is preparing to take its place in the sky, and with it comes barbecue season. Nothing makes this time of the year more complete than gathering all of your friends to grill outdoor in the warm summer breeze.  Whether you’re a beginner or a master chef, the right appliances make for a much more enjoyable grilling experience. Luckily, Dacor has designed the perfect set of stylish and functional appliances to create the ultimate outdoor cooking experience. Epicure® Outdoor Grills, the Epicure Outdoor Refrigerator and Integrated 24" Indoor/Outdoor Warming Drawer help homeowners convert their basic backyard areas into a relaxing space for entertaining.

Whether you want to grill burgers or sear filet mignon, the high-performing Epicure® 52" and 36" Outdoor Grills offer superior precision packaged in a sleekly designed stainless steel casing that can be custom-built into a patio or easily secured to a matching Dacor stainless steel grill cart for unrestricted outdoor entertaining.  For late-night entertainers, brighter halogen lighting illuminates the cooking surface for uninterrupted outdoor grilling, no matter how long the barbecue continues.

Designed to be more user-friendly, the grills operate via the exclusive Illumina™ Burner Control Knobs, which glow in Dacor’s signature flame-blue when the grill is on for greater safety and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, each grill features a redesigned premium canopy hood, which is lighter than previous grill models.

Optional 16" Outdoor Grill Side Burners (standard with the Epicure 52" Outdoor Grill) offer you even greater cooking flexibility, so there are no limits to what you can do.  With two 18,000 BTU sealed burners, you can easily prepare your secret barbecue sauce, famous chili and even boil lobsters in an oversized stock pot while you are outside. And with the burner conveniently placed next to the grill, you will avoid running in and out of the house to check on what’s on the cooktop.

The ENERGY STAR® qualified Epicure 24" Outdoor Refrigerator complements Dacor’s Grill offering and fits neatly under any counter in an outdoor patio or kitchen layout and features enhancements that allow for storage of milk and fresh food in addition to beverages.  With an innovative digital electronic control panel, you can adjust the temperature with the simple touch of a button. The charcoal filter removes unwanted odors, keeping contents pure, and the robust vibration-free compressor ensures unlimited interruptions during your get-together.

If you are looking for a great addition to complete your outdoor kitchen, the Integrated 24" Indoor/Outdoor Warming Drawer is the perfect accessory, with concealed electronic controls and a four-hour timer that provides a gentle heat ranging from 100° to 200°. Available with a stainless steel front panel to match the sleek design of Dacor’s other outdoor appliances, the warming drawer will keep grilled items hot until the whole meal is ready or hand towels comfortably warm.

So, whether you are a grill enthusiast looking to create the perfect meal or a style aficionado who wants to add impeccable style to your outdoor living space, look no further – Dacor has something to offer.
