People actually drool over the prospect of having an outdoor grill in their backyards. I don’t blame them. Outdoor built in gas grills are great for entertaining friends and family, but more importantly, their great for entertaining yourself. If you’re like me, the whole barbecue experience is not just about the food, it’s also about the process. That process is great if you can do it outdoors in a spanking new built-in gas grill.
With almost all good things, there’s a price to pay for that new outdoor gas grill. Unfortunately that price will cost you in terms of money, time and effort. So, if you can’t resist the idea of having that outdoor grill, make sure that you do so with longevity in mind. This means that your design takes into consideration as much design risk as possible. Listed below are a couple of thoughts on designing built in gas barbecue grills that are often missed.
Location, Position and Orientation
Make sure that the outdoor grill is a short distance from your main kitchen. No matter how beautifully designed your grilling station; you must consider it a hub that needs to be connected to its central distribution center. The less travel you need to undertake with food and ingredients in your arms, the better off you are. Also, it will be less costly on new gas pipes that need to be laid.
Consider which side your grill will be in relation to the sun’s setting and the usual wind direction. You will hate grilling with the sun directly against your eyes. Furthermore, it can be difficult to see the flames on your grill under a bright sun. By moving your grill’s orientation, you can avoid direct sunlight. If at all possible make sure that your outdoor dining area is somewhat covered to avoid blown out candles or torches.
Pipe Laying
Outdoor plumbing and gas access will need to be laid thus expect to spend on this. This means that you will need to dig trenches, lay the pipes and cover them. If you include a sink in your outdoor grill, expect to lay more pipes for drainage. This may not be that simple because in some areas the building codes require vents installed for sewage lines. This means having to install unsightly vent pipes that jut out of the ground some five to ten feet and a pump. You can always disguise the pipe by placing a chimney like structure or a bush around it.
One last piece of advice, promise your neighbors a meal or a party to get them to buy into the process. This way you can reduce possible complaints on the noise due to the construction activities.
