    Built-In Gas Grill Recommendations

    Getting ready to install an outdoor kitchen grilling station. I'm planning on installing a built-in natural gas grill, a separate side burner, and a cut out for my BGE. SS storage cabinets and drawers below. I'll either go with granite, or a poured concrete top with faux stone fascia. Metal stud and concrete board frame construction. Overall length is about 14.5' (2' countertop - 1' Side burner - 1' Countertop - 3.5' Grill - 3' Countertop - 2' Large BGE cutout - 2' Countertop = 14.5). Can't do a covered patio at this point, so I'm going to have a custom WP canvas cover built to cover the whole island for now.
    Looking for recommendations on a built-in gas grill. I'm currently looking at the Napoleon Prestige Pro 665 or the Weber Summit S-660. Both have a built-in smoke box which is a must for me. Both are highly rated. Overall, the weber is cheaper because it comes with cabinets underneath. That would be an extra on the Napoleon grill ($500.00 +/-).

    I would appreciate any expert recommendations on built-in grill, countertop recommendations, frame construction, etc.

    I think whatever I went with I would verify the alloy of stainless used. Not all stainless is created equal and some will corrode into pieces faster than you think.


    Being that it seems the rage today is with pellet cookers I wonder if there is a combo unit you could get. gas + pellets

    My RecTec Pellet smoker/grill does everything a regular grill could do and so much more. I was contemplating a built in gas grill until I did some research. We never cook indoors anymore. I use my air fryer but that's about it. Napoleon grills is one of the top gas grills. It depends on the size you are looking for.

    Just my humble opinion, but nothing beats a Weber for what you want. I've got a Weber gas grill for those times I don't have time for charcoal. Every Weber I've ever had is built like a tank and lasts forever.
