Why This Built-In Propane Grill
- 75,000 BTU across five burners — five independently controlled 15,000 BTU porcelain cast iron burners allow multi-zone cooking at different temperatures simultaneously.
- 1,000 sq in of cooking surface — accommodates large meals or simultaneous cooking of multiple proteins and sides without a secondary grill.
- Standard outdoor kitchen footprint — 38.25 in W × 22.25 in D × 9.5 in H cutout fits wider island bays without custom framing.
- Fully welded 430 stainless steel body — single-piece welded construction with a double-walled hood; no exposed seams at the drop-in line.
- Built-in hood thermometer — reads dome temperature without lifting the lid, reducing heat loss during longer cooks.
