Installing a Built In Gas Grill | Utility Requirements for Your Outdoor Kitchen

Not sure about all the steps for installing a built in gas grill? Well, before your grill ever hits your doorstep… You’ll have some prep work to do ahead of time! Especially when it comes to an outdoor kitchen project. First and foremost, you’ll want to plan for your outdoor kitchen utilities. And depending on the grill you purchase… There can be more than just gas lines involved! To keep it simple, we’ll start with gas lines. When installing a built in gas grill… You’ll have to consider if you want to fuel it with a propane tank or natural gas.

If you’re using liquid propane… There’s nothing special you need to do! Unless you want to have it connected to a large, storage-sized propane tank. In this case, you’ll need an inline regulator. Otherwise, you’ll need a natural gas conversion kit to connect the grill to your gas line. But even before that… You’ll need to make sure you have gas lines installed! Either way, there’s a little prep work before you start installing a built in gas grill.

And depending on the model you choose… There might also be electric requirements for your grill. Namely, if your grill comes equipped with a rotisserie kit and grill lights. Should this be the case… You’ll need two electrical outlets near your grill. The closer, the better! (You don’t want there to be tension on the cord.) The interior outlet will power your grill lights… And the exterior outlet will power the rotisserie kit. Otherwise, there are no other utility requirements for installing a built in gas grill! As long as you plan ahead of time… It’s actually quite simple.
