Know before you buy
The double-sided design offers versatility for different cooking needs. One side is typically shaped for perfect sear marks on steaks, while the other side is designed to handle more delicate foods like fish or vegetables.
This specific model is designed for propane fuel. Ensure you have a secure, ventilated space for your propane tank installation as part of your built-in setup.
The dedicated 3,500 BTU sealed smoker burner allows you to add wood chips to a separate tray without needing to open the main grill hood or disrupt your primary cooking zone. It provides controlled, consistent smoke infusion for slow-cooking or adding flavor to standard grilled items.
Yes, the system is engineered to channel grease away from the burners and into a removable tray. This significantly reduces the likelihood of flare-ups, which helps maintain a more consistent temperature across the cooking surface.
Yes, the grill is designed to support convection cooking. When the hood is closed, the airflow and heat distribution are optimized to mimic an oven, making it suitable for roasting or even baking items like pizza.
You will need a non-combustible enclosure that accommodates the unit's dimensions of 35 7/8" wide by 24 1/4" high by 26 5/8" deep. Because it is a high-performance built-in grill, ensure your cabinetry is constructed from heat-resistant materials and allows for proper ventilation.
