LOCATION PLANNING
The following should be considered when determining
where to place your new built-in grill outdoor kitchen construction.
It is best to identify the location of the kitchen prior to beginning
any set up.
Plan for easy access to the house considering weather
conditions like frequent rain or snow that would make it more
convenient to have the kitchen located close to an entryway.
Be sure to allow space for entertaining around the sides of the
kitchen as it will become a gathering area during outdoor events.
Ventilation is a key to the kitchen performance and smoke
exhaust should be considered when identifying a location.
The grill will smoke so consider the prevailing wind direction
and position the grill so wind blows toward the front of the grill
to move the smoke away and provide adequate airflow.
Do not place the grill under or near windows that may be
opened to your house as smoke will enter easily.
Ensuring proper Combustion Air and Cooling Airflow
Proper airflow MUST be maintained for the grill to perform as it was
designed. If airflow is blocked, overheating and poor combustion
will result.
CAUTION
Wind blowing into or across the rear grill lid vent can cause poor performance and/or dangerous overheating.
Installing the grill in front of a wall or under any overhang can direct the wind downward into the rear grill lid vent
creating the same condition and also violates the safety warnings for grill placement (see page 3).
Always construct your built-in grill cabinet so that prevailing winds blow towards the front of the grill.
