You should also think ahead to the next grill you think you’ll want and design the cutout accordingly.
I’ve known people who veneered around the grill and ended up sealing it in.
If you’re doing stone veneer, wheel the grill in AFTER the veneer is up. Even if you’re building it into a non-combustible structure like stone and block, you may have airflow requirements so the grill works efficiently. that said, check your manual to see what the recommended clearances are around the built-in grill. Leaving them on, even folded down, causes some big unsightly gaps between the grill and the surround. if your built-in grill has folding sides to act as a work surface you’ll probably want to remove them. You’ll want to make sure of a few things first: Yes, you can, and I have done this for clients. Can I build an alcove in my outdoor kitchen to fit my grill? Unless the manufacturer recommends that kind of conversion, I wouldn’t do it. Even if you could remove the legs without sacrificing the strength and integrity of your grill it may not be built appropriately for actually inserting it into an enclosure. With your higher-end grills the manufacturer may offer a cart that also fits your grill head, but most box store/consumer models aren’t built that way. Can’t they just use that? Can I take the legs off my existing grill and use it like a built-in grill? After all, they’re perfectly happy with their Weber or Char-Broil or whatever. Given that, one area where people try to save money is the grill. Here are just a few of the items you may want as part of an outdoor kitchen and their cost. Every drawer and every appliance you add increases the size of your outdoor kitchen, which can then mean more structure, stone or tile veneer, and countertop material. That doesn’t change one important problem with outdoor kitchens: the cost. A built-in grill can make it easier, buuuuut…. Mark my words, 400 years hence scientists will discover that cooking al fresco causes changes at the molecular level. We’ve embraced food culture more than probably any other time in America’s history, we have unprecedented technology to make our outdoor spaces as welcoming and comfortable as our indoor spaces, and most importantly, food cooked outdoors just tastes better. Outdoor kitchens are popular right now and it’s not hard to see why.
