Built-In Grills

A built-in grill, sometimes called a drop-in grill or grill head, is a grill without its own cart or cabinet. It's designed to sit in a cutout in an outdoor kitchen island or countertop, so the grill looks like part of the counter. Many built-in grill heads can also be mounted on a matching cart if you're not ready to build an island.

Our built-in grills range from 25 to 44 inches wide. A 30- to 32-inch grill covers most family cooking, while 36 to 44 inches gives you room for entertaining and separate heat zones. Each model's spec sheet lists its exact cutout width, depth and height, so choose the grill before you finalize the island cutout.

It depends on how your island is built. Many manufacturers require an insulated jacket, sometimes called an insulated liner, when a built-in grill is installed in an island made with combustible materials such as wood framing. Islands built entirely from non-combustible materials often don't need one. Follow the installation manual for your grill, which lists the required jacket and clearances.

Many grill manufacturers call for vent panels in an island that houses a gas grill or gas connections, so any leaked gas can escape instead of collecting inside the enclosure. Check your grill's installation manual for its venting requirements, and have a qualified technician make the gas connection.

Natural gas grills connect to your home's gas line, so you never run out of fuel; a licensed professional should run the line to your island. Propane (LP) grills run on a propane tank and suit homes without a gas line. Most of our built-in grills are sold in both versions, so order the one that matches your fuel, and follow the manufacturer's guidance on where a propane tank can be stored.
