Convenience

One of the defining qualities of all propane and natural gas built-in grills is their ease of use. While charcoal grills can require significant time and effort to start, a built-in natural gas or propane grill can be started with just the push of a button or the twist of a knob. If you want to get to grilling quickly and easily, a gas grill is the way to go.

Stability

While the above point is true of all gas grills, one of the primary selling points of having a gas grill built in is the stability and permanence it offers. You can truly transform your outdoor kitchen space by investing in designing and building a dedicated grilling island.

Durability

The other major upside to a built-in barbecue grill is that they tend to last longer than similar freestanding models. Because they stay in one spot rather than being moved around, they suffer less wear and tear over the years, keeping them in pristine grilling condition and making them an excellent investment. All of the built-in grills we offer at Kickass Grills are high quality and can withstand the test of time.

Fuel Type

Gas grills run on one of two types of fuel: liquid propane or natural gas. Generally, if your home receives gas supply from a municipal source, you'll need a built-in natural gas grill. If you're planning to use a portable or privately supplied tank, you'll want to select a built-in propane grill instead. The two fuel types are not interchangeable, so it's important to know which you need ahead of time.

Size

When looking for a built-in gas BBQ for an outdoor kitchen, it's important to plan the entire layout ahead of time so you know everything will fit together. Once you've determined how much space you can dedicate to the grill head, you'll know the size range you should be shopping.

Most of the built-in grill models we carry come in a range of sizes, from compact 24-inch grills to larger 56-inch models. With a larger grill comes a larger cooking surface area; some models approach 1000 square inches of grilling space. While it can be tempting to buy the largest grill your budget allows, it's important to remember that bigger isn't always better. A larger grill takes up more space, of course, but it also requires more energy and time to heat up.

Price

While a cheap grill from a big-box store may seem appealing, you also need to take longevity into account. A higher-dollar stainless steel grill head that lasts many years costs less in the long run than a "budget" grill that needs to be replaced after a few summers. All of the brands we've selected at Kickass Grills represent the best in the industry and are worth the investment. Some of our most popular grill brands include Blaze, Napoleon, Bull and Summerset.

Features

The other reason that higher-priced grills are worth the investment is the amount of additional utility they offer. The built-in gas grills on our site represent some of the most versatile outdoor cooking options on the market, featuring things like integrated rotisserie cookers, high-heat infrared burners that provide rich sear marks and interior LED lighting to allow for safe nighttime grilling. While shopping, keep an eye out for the special features that meet your needs.

Accessories

While the grills we carry offer a rich set of included features, one of the best ways to get the most out of your grill is to choose a brand and model that can be customized with a set of purpose-built grill accessories. With our huge selection of grilling tools and add-ons like pizza stones, drop-in griddles and smoker boxes, you can get the grill of your dreams with ease.

The other major benefit of building your own outdoor kitchen island with a built-in grill is the ability to add on things like built-in side burners, refrigerators, sinks and other kitchen accessories. Many of the grill brands we carry also make matching accessories to create a complete backyard cooking suite.
