For many, grilling is synonymous with summer fun and backyard gatherings. But why settle for a portable grill when you can create a permanent outdoor kitchen oasis with a built-in BBQ grill?
Built-in grills offer a host of advantages over their portable counterparts, but one question often arises: Why are built-in BBQs more expensive?
Why Are Built-In Grills more Expensive?
One of the primary reasons for the higher price tag is the use of high-quality materials. Built-in grills are typically constructed from durable stainless steel, designed to withstand the elements and years of use. This premium material ensures a longer lifespan, superior heat retention, and easier cleaning.
But cost isn't just about materials. Built-in grills offer additional features that contribute to their price, such as:
- Larger cooking surfaces: Perfect for hosting large gatherings and grilling multiple dishes simultaneously.
- Advanced functionality: Rotisserie capabilities, sear burners, side burners for prepping sauces, and infrared technology are just a few features you might find on a built-in grill.
- Customizable design: Built-in grills seamlessly integrate with your existing outdoor space, creating a sleek and cohesive aesthetic.
Can a barbecue be built-in?
Absolutely! Built-in BBQs are specifically designed to sit directly on a countertop or cooking surface, becoming a permanent fixture in your outdoor kitchen. Here at D&R outdoor Oasis, we offer stylish built-in grill grill options from the trusted Bull Europe brand, powered by natural gas or mains gas. We offer 3 burner Steer grill, 4 burner: Outlaw, Angus and Lonestar grills, 5 burner: Renegade and Brahma, 6 burner: Diablo grill.
Important Note: While you might be tempted to repurpose a regular grill for built-in use, it's not recommended. Most consumer models lack the design and construction necessary for efficient operation within an enclosure. Improper airflow can lead to safety hazards and poor grilling performance.
Do Built-In Grills Need to Be Covered?
While a grill cover is recommended, it's not mandatory for everyday use. Regular cleaning (about once a month) and occasional covering will go a long way in protecting your investment. Remember, proper care extends the lifespan of your grill, allowing you to enjoy countless delicious meals outdoors.
