You’re going to get a Coyote gas grill for your outdoor kitchen… But you’re not sure what the electrical requirements are. Well, fret not! This is a question we get all the time, and we’re about to teach you everything you need to know!
First, we have the ignition. Coyote grills utilize a piezo starter ignition, which does not require electricity to function. So no, you don’t need electricity to be able to start up your grill! However, there are two things your Coyote gas grill does need electricity for. If you have a C-series grill, you’ll need it for the interior grill lighting. For the S-series grill, you’ll need it for both interior grill lighting and the rotisserie motor.
So depending on the Coyote gas grill you choose… It boils down to needing either one or two outlets. For a C-series grill, you’ll need one outlet inside the island. For an S-series grill, you’ll need an outlet on the interior and exterior of your island. The interior outlet will run your grill lights, and the exterior outlet will run your rotisserie kit.
Now, in terms of the outlet placement… You have quite a few options! Either way, you’ll want to keep the outlet fairly close to your Coyote gas grill. You don’t want the cord to be stretched to the max, keep some slack in the line! For the rotisserie kit, you have three good placement options. You can place the outlet up against the wall, on the side of your island panel, or as a pop up outlet in your countertop. But no matter how you set up the outlets for your Coyote gas grill… We’re with you every step of the way! Any additional questions you may have, we’re here to help!
