Built-in BBQ installation
A built-in grill looks cleaner, feels more permanent and gives you the counter space a freestanding grill can’t. We install built-in grills and components into new islands or existing outdoor counters.
Overview
Built-in grill heads are designed to drop into a cutout in an island or counter. Getting them right means building the opening to the manufacturer’s exact cut-out dimensions, using an insulated jacket where required by the manufacturer, providing ventilation for gas grills, and ensuring safe access to valves and connections.
We install built-in grills, side burners, access doors, drawers and other components, whether you’re upgrading an existing island or building new. If you need the island itself, see BBQ islands; for a full cooking space, see outdoor kitchens.
What we install
Natural gas or propane, matched to your fuel source and island design.
Built-in charcoal units or kamado cookers in custom cradles.
Extra cooking stations for sauces, sides and breakfast.
Stainless storage and service access built into the island.
Required for some grills when installed in combustible islands.
Ventilation for gas components to prevent gas buildup inside the island.

Planning & installation
Manufacturer specifications. Cut-out dimensions, clearances, jacket requirements and ventilation are specific to each grill. We follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Fuel type. Grills are built for natural gas or propane; conversions must be done correctly with the right parts.
Gas, electrical and plumbing. Grills, side burners, refrigerators, lighting and sinks need utilities. Gas lines, new electrical circuits and plumbing must be installed by appropriately licensed professionals and typically require permits. We’ll explain what your design needs and how that work will be handled before anything is built.
Cost factors. Grill model and components, island modifications, jackets and vents, utility connections and finishing.
Permits. Outdoor kitchens with gas, electrical or plumbing connections generally require permits, and covered structures may too. Requirements vary between the City of Los Angeles, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena and other jurisdictions.
