LANGELIER ELITE - THE ULTIMATE WOOD-FIRED GRILLS
The Infierno X46, X55 and X66 ‘Langelier Elite’
True Restaurant Power in your Home
An Infierno Family Borne of a Special Project
Our smaller Infiernos nicknamed ‘Langelier’ are professional models that, when selected for a residential kitchen or outdoor entertainment area, are guaranteed to bring the ultimate in live fire cooking to your home. These are not consumer grills branded “professional” by a marketing team. These are the same grills that power our most ambitious customers’ restaurants, including those of José Andrés and Wolfgang Puck, tailored for your own show kitchen.
The name ‘Langelier’ was bestowed to honor Bill Langelier, a longtime customer who was the first to commission one for his home.

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.
Blanco Caps for All
Every Langelier model can be fitted with our overhead Blanco Cap smoke-roasting chamber. This flexible option adds a ‘quick smoke’ capability, trapping the aromatics of the fire for any dish you choose to slide into it. Temperatures range from 150-250 degrees, depending on the fire below, allowing gentle cooking while the fast grilling goes on below.
The Langelier Elite 66 (with Blanco Cap)
Shown with her optional Blanco Cap roasting chamber, the Infierno X66 '‘Langelier’ is the largest member of the Langelier Elite wood-fired grill family. She is well-suited to center the most dramatic of kitchens, whether indoor or outdoor. The 66 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 55 (with Blanco Cap)
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 46
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.

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.
