Beyond Propane: The Digital Grill That Gives Chefs Total Control at Sea
The Open-Flame Problem: Safety Meets Style
For decades, the standard yacht galley—and the cockpit grill—posed a critical safety challenge. Open flames, gas storage, and propane were often seen as necessary evils for achieving an authentic grilling experience. Kenyon International Inc., a company with roots dating back to 1931, changed that equation. Their focus on premium electric grills and ceramic cooktops has established them as a leader in marine-safe culinary technology. At IBEX 2025, their presence underscores the simple truth: premium cooking must be safe, precise, and flawlessly integrated.
The Digital Age of Grilling: Precision Control
The Kenyon Signature™ Electric Grill is built around digital command. It utilizes the IntelliKEN Touch™ control system, which integrates swipe technology for user-friendly operation. This innovation brings laboratory-grade precision to the deck, featuring Precision Control (PC) and Direct Temperature Feedback (DTF) that keeps the grill within a tight window of +/-10°F. With the ability to exceed 550°F, this grill is built for serious searing, proving that electric cooking can easily rival—and even surpass—traditional flame grilling. This eliminates guesswork, allowing chefs and owners to achieve perfect results every time.
Engineering for the Extreme: Safety and Durability
Kenyon’s commitment to safety is non-negotiable. The Signature Grill meets NFPA fire code regulations and is UL approved for indoor and outdoor applications, a crucial endorsement for any yacht system. The design features patented concealed electric elements that eliminate flare-ups. Constructed with high-quality, marine-grade stainless steel, the grill is passivated to be weather-resistant and rust-proof. This dedication to durability, backed by a three-year warranty, ensures the grill performs reliably in the harshest marine environments.
Luxury is Personal: Customization and Design
The Signature Grill is designed to make a sophisticated statement. Its bold exterior styling allows owners to personalize the appliance to match their vessel’s aesthetic. Lid options include elegant Stainless Steel, Black Carbon Fiber, and White Carbon Fiber. A rotating handle with an integrated LED light illuminates the grill surface, making nighttime grilling effortless. This focus on premium materials and customizable design ensures the appliance looks as good as it performs, integrating seamlessly into high-end outdoor kitchens or galleys.
The Verdict: The Final Word on Al Fresco Cooking
Kenyon International Inc. has spent 90 years engineering smart designs that have changed how people think about cooking. Their presence at IBEX 2025 highlights a critical trend: the shift towards precision, safety, and digital control in onboard culinary experiences. The Signature Grill is a testament to this leadership, delivering powerful performance and sophisticated design. For discerning owners, this grill is an essential tool for achieving the highest standards of al fresco luxury.
