72,000 BTUs and a Rear Infrared Burner — Steakhouse Sear, Built Right Into Your Island
Five 304 stainless burners plus an infrared rear burner that hits 1,000°F in 30 seconds — because your outdoor kitchen deserves the heat to match your ambitions.
The KoKoMo Classic KO-BAK5BG is what a 39¾" built-in grill looks like when it's designed to work as hard as you want it to. Five 12,000-BTU main burners and a rear infrared burner combine for 72,000 BTUs across 920 in² of cooking surface — enough to run a full crowd through steaks, sides, and a rotisserie bird without a second thought. A commercial-grade ceramic briquette system keeps heat even from edge to edge and knocks out flare-ups before they start. Built from 304 stainless steel throughout, available in natural gas or liquid propane, this is the grill that makes an outdoor kitchen feel permanent.

920 in²
Room to Cook for a Crowd
A generous cooking surface plus a full-width warming rack means mains and sides can go on at the same time — no more shuffling food to make room.
1,000°F in 30 Sec
Infrared Sear Burner
The rear infrared burner ramps up fast for a real steakhouse crust or a properly crisp rotisserie chicken.
304 Stainless Steel
Built to Live Outdoors
Hood, body, warming rack, and drip tray are all marine-grade 304 stainless — it resists corrosion and keeps its polished look season after season.

Configurations & Fuel Options
Built for a clean, flush drop-in install with a 1" flange that hides the cutout edge. Select your fuel type — natural gas or liquid propane — above.
Even Heat with a Ceramic Briquette System
Underneath the cooking grates, a commercial-grade ceramic briquette system spreads heat evenly across the full 920 in² surface and helps control flare-ups, so you get consistent results from the first burger to the last.
Built From the Hood Down in 304 Stainless Steel
The seamless, dual-wall hood, body, cooking grids, warming rack, and drip tray are all 304 stainless steel — the same grade used for its corrosion resistance in demanding environments, so the finish doesn't fade or pit over time.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take›
The Deck & Den Take — This is the grill for people who actually entertain. The infrared rear burner is genuinely useful — not just a marketing line — for searing and rotisserie work, and the 920 in² surface means you're not playing Tetris with a full spread. If you're building out a whole outdoor kitchen, the smoker box, griddle plate, and rotisserie kit are all worth a look as add-ons down the road.
