LANGELIER ELITE -
THE ULTIMATE IN WOOD-FIRED GRILLS
The Langelier line is our flagship freestanding grill family for the home, and shares virtually all of its DNA with the Infiernos that inspired them. And like their larger siblings, they’re restaurant-ready and often the solution for chefs that need a big statement in a small kitchen.
Hand-built in our Michigan facility by master welders who came to us from the classic and exotic car workshops of America, the fit, finish and power these grills present are second to none.
Each member of the Langelier family is constructed in heavy-gauge tube and plate 304 stainless steel, hand-welded and brushed to the highest sheen. We believe the grill should be strong in every way and beautiful from every angle, so our ‘exoskeleton’ design invites both a long look at the machine itself, but most importantly draws the eye to the fiery action inside, on the Langelier’s fully firebricked stage.
The X Lift System
Our professional restaurant models are equipped with chain-and gear lift systems and our patented surface-height indicator mechanism, showing where in the range each surface is, via polished copper geneva gears bearing numbers from 1-10. This is a one-handed lift system, meaning it is cranked up, or cranked down, and requires no lock to stay at each height. It is capable of lifting in excess of 100 lbs per side without undue operator effort. This means it can use our custom cast iron surfaces, as well as the standard accessory surface options. Every Langelier Elite can be equipped with the X Lift System, or our classic cable system (saves some cost, but not recommended for heavy professional use).
Overhead Resting and Suspension
An element missing from many wood-fired grill systems is a way to hold items in a place where they receive gentle heat and light smoke, either via a surface or suspension. Each Langelier comes equipped with a large overhead area for just this use. The sections are removable for cleaning, and if heavier smoke or a roasting function is desired, they serve as the floor for our optional Blanco Cap (see below), available for every size Langelier.
The Langelier Elite 54
The largest member of the Langelier Elite wood-fired grill family, this one is well suited to center the most dramatic of kitchens whether indoor or outdoor. The 54 boasts 54” x 20” of grill surface, divided into twin independent lift frames. Each frame carries two surface sections, and all can be dropped in or swapped with another type at any time. In addition to the traditional Argentine V-Channels that every grill comes with, the Langelier can use fine bar, heavy hex bar for harder marks, mesh surfaces for smaller items, and of course the cast iron. At any given time the Langelier’s lift system could have up to four different types of surface on it, if so desired.
The Langelier Elite 42
This size is most often chosen for homes or smaller restaurants that want big impact but have limited space available. It is armed with everything its’ larger sibling has, but is a full foot narrower, enabling it to fit more harmoniously into a smaller-but-still dramatic indoor or outdoor kitchen. 42”x 20” of adjustable grill space, with overhead holding and resting areas, and the ability to take all our surface types.

The Langelier Elite 36
Our smallest powerhouse still isn’t small. She has wonderful proportions and will not dominate a more limited space (unless you set it up that way!). The only difference between these three siblings is raw size. They all grill with multiple surface types, come with overhead holding and smoking space, can take our Blanco Cap, full and half-width rotisseries, and either chain and gear lift systems or cable.
Every Langelier can be fit into a custom Hestan kitchen suite.
The Blanco Cap
We developed the Blanco Cap (named for its larger relative the Blanco Oven) so that while grilling, the Langelier Elite (and the EXO Pro, Infierno or Architectural series) can smoke-roast in the cap above. The cap is a double-walled chamber with a sliding front door and a baffled exhaust system to hold or allow heat and smoke through the chamber. Items you’d like to receive the smoke treatment are slid into the oven cap, with the Langelier’s stainless bar top serving as the floor, allowing the heat and aroma direct entry. The cap is available in two sizes, the larger for the 54 and the smaller for the 42 and 36 Langelier.
Accessories
The Langeliers come quite well armed, but you can add a host of options to broaden your cooking range.
Rotisserie both half & full-width
Fine bar, hex bar screen mesh, plancha and cast iron surface sections

OUR PROFESSIONAL GRILLS & SYSTEMS
The professional space is where we get the most inspiration for new features, models and looks. This results in our pro models really pushing the envelope in both their ability to do anything an ambitious chef has in mind and also complete the look a restaurant designer knows will be key to a concept being ‘right’. And if something more can be done on either front, we want you to present us with that challenge.
The Infiernos
Our flagship self contained grills are dubbed ‘Infierno’ for obvious reasons.These grills are built to battleship scale. They aren’t designed to melt into the background anywhere, rather they are the statement piece whether indoors, outdoors, alone or in a fiery kitchen line.
Professional Built-in EXO Pro Grills
Many restaurant designers and chefs have a very specific look in mind for their new space and kitchen. The EXO Pro line is intended to compliment, or add that wood grill PUNCH, to an aesthetic. These grills offer almost every capability of the Infierno line, but come ready to slide into an enclosure of the customer’s design. Where the Infierno is the whole line in a dramatic roll-in package, the EXO Pro arrives ready to be a team player.
OUR HOME GRILLS
Built-In Architectural Grills
We also offer our Architectural line to those wanting to complete an exterior or interior design with a statement wood-fired cooking element. These grills are most recognizable to our friends in Argentina as the traditional element of any country house or ranch. Ours are built not just for utility, but to either center or aesthetically compliment a space. Standard sizes range from 36 inches wide up to 72, with many options and almost infinite customizations possible.
Freestanding
Home is where Grillworks started. Every model we make harkens back to the little grill Charles Eisendrath invented over 40 years ago. The Grillworks 20, in fact, shares the exact same footprint, look, and capabilities of the original. Joining the 20 is an array of freestanding grills that range in size from the 20 (named for the cooking surface size) up to the show-stopping, restaurant-level Langelier X54.
