Outdoor Kitchen Mistakes | Purchasing the Right Built In Grill

Planning an outdoor kitchen is a huge investment of both time and money. Therefore… You don’t want to be making any outdoor kitchen mistakes!

After designing and installing hundreds of grill islands… You could say we know a thing or two about these mistakes. And what’s one of the most common mistakes we see? Not choosing the correct grill for your needs. As you are well aware… The grill is the crowning jewel of your project! It would be painful to choose the wrong one.

So, how do you choose the right built in grill? There are a few things you need to know. Starting off… Consider the grill class. There are three classes when it comes to outdoor appliances: economy, premium, and luxury.

While super budget-friendly… Economy grills are not a wise choice for your outdoor kitchen. In fact, choosing an economy grill is one of the biggest outdoor kitchen mistakes!

Why?

Well, economy grills just aren’t built to last. They are made with subpar materials that will only give you a few years of use. For a regular grill cart, this may not be an issue. You simply remove and replace. But in an outdoor kitchen? That’s a hassle and a half.

With a grill island… You are building your grill into the island. Therefore, there’s a lot more labor involved when it comes to repairs and replacements. Put simply, it’s not worth the struggle. Yes… You may save money. At first.

But in the long run? You’re going to be paying way more than you expected. There are other things you need to know to avoid outdoor kitchen mistakes… But you’ll need to watch the rest of the video to find out!
