Your barbecue island needs a solid and level
foundation. Damage caused by inadequate or improper
foundation support is not covered by the warranty. It
is the responsibility of the owner to provide a proper
foundation for the barbecue island.
If you do not already have a location for your barbecue
island, we recommend you have a concrete slab
prepared to accommodate it. There are several
advantages of having a permanent slab, including
stability, levelness, and it eliminates sagging.
As you prepare your slab, this is the best time to run
gas and electrical service stub-ups for your barbecue
island to connect to. The size and shape of the base of
the barbecue island is called a footprint. It also shows
suggested locations for your stub-ups.
Although a permanent slab is recommended, you can
place your barbecue island on a prepared surface with
bricks or pavers. We do not recommend you place your
barbecue island on gravel, sand, timbers, dirt or grass
because these surfaces have the potential to become
unstable or uneven. Your barbecue island should
always be on a stable, flat, level surface. Damage due
to placing the island on an improper foundation is not
covered under your warranty.
You can put your barbecue island on a deck provided
it is rated to support the full weight of your barbecue
island, grill, and all accessories. We recommend you
have a contractor or structural engineer examine your
deck to determine whether it can bear the load of your
barbecue island.
Preparing a Good Foundation
Overhead Hazards
Plan for Your Environment
Do not place your barbecue island near trees and
shrubs.
Maintain sufficient distance as to not overheat any
overhead combustible material.
Maintain sufficient distance as to not overheat any
overhead combustible material. We recommend a
minimum distance of six feet, measured from the
top of the grill hood. Check with local inspectors and
your homeowner’s association.
To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by
reaching over a hot appliance, avoid locating cabinet
storage space directly above the outdoor grill.
Consider factors such as exposure to wind, proximity
to traffic paths, and windows that open into the
home.
Access to gas lines should be considered. If you are
using natural gas, the location with the shortest gas
line run is recommended.
