drop in grill on custom patio kitchen
Posted on 9/8/14 at 7:40 pm
Posted on 9/8/14 at 7:40 pm
any of you guys have one? if so, what are some tips you have?
bricking in one side of my patio and it will be flush with stone and have a grill on the top built in.
looking at models online for drop in grills and trying to learn the ins and outs of types of steel, grates, etc.
on a side note, do you recommend a sink outside? im torn if its worth the extra money, it would just be a basic cheap sink with lukewarm water.
TIA

I don't know about drop in grills but I would say since you are already paying for the sweet patio you might as well put a sink in, I think it would deifnitely be worth it.

I used my sink a ton with the kitchen that was away from the house. Current one is right outside inside kitchen door so don't use it.

There have been several threads on outdoor kitchens with pictures on FDB over the past year.

I would seriously think of a Kamado Joe, Big Green Egg, or Primo.

Get a bull grill and a stainless steel bar sink ( about 100$). Bull pit will last and cooks good. The plumber is where its gonna hit the pocket book

Sink definately helps with the resale value. They make 6gallon electric water heaters that work great for outdoor kitchens. Go with a decent sink not a little one. I would say 20x19 or 32x19 are two of the ones I see a lot. On the grill I wouldn't go any smaller than 30-36". Price for that size can be anywhere from 1200-4500$. There are a ton of options.

Don't go cheap. Figure out what size you need and then shop with legit brands....bull...coyote....etc...I just got one put in and went with a 34" coyote c series. Stainless Steele all around and set me back about $1100. I also put a cold water sink outside mainly for light cleaning and hand washing. Very handy when grilling.

How did you hook up the water line? I heard I can use the sprinkler as a water source

Look at Lion. I was looking hard at Lynx and Lion ended up being a great purchase and cost a good bit less. Very favorably reviewed.

There are hundreds of stainless steel types but the only two you need to remember are 304 and 443. These are the most rust resistant and the best for a gas grill.

I have a Blaze and have no complaints.

Make damn sure you have good ventilation. If you are installing the grill under a covered area that connects to your house, you will need a bad arse exhaust system installed or the area you are installing it will need to be somewhat "open"...meaning no full walls behind or directly to the side. I have a 1200 cubic feet/minute dual exhaust and it can't keep up when I grill something hot and fast or with a lot of fat. My last house was better as it had open sides and the wind could help take the smoke away.
Sink is a no brainer. I use that sink all the time...from cooking to yard work to cleaning out ice chests or whatever. As another poster said, get a large sink out there. You will be glad you did.

If you go with a sink, I installed a French drain type set up where the drain line went underground and connected to a buried mesh container of large rocks that dispersed the water into the ground. Saved having to pay a plumber to tap into the sewer lines.
I never had an issue with it backing up. Found the design plans in a book I bought at Home Depot. $100 in supplies and a lot of back breaking digging.

Love my sink, for cleaning fish if nothing else.
But they can be a pain come winter with freezing temps.
Be sure you put a cut off valve somewhere.

French drain
Check with your local planning commission/ permit office to see what type of drain they will require.
I just poured the slab for my outdoor kitchen, mandatory for me to tie into existing plumbing. 65 ft trench to city cleanout was the easiest option for me.
I put a splitter on a exterior faucet and ran a cold water line into the slab for the sink and ice maker. I will add a electric water heater for the sink when the counters go up.
