It's Not Just a Grill, It's an Island!

Request's are coming in for info on grill island's. Here are some tips on researching this subject. Remember when you are building a grill island you must use a grill insert as apposed to a free standing grill. This is due to the insert models are vented a certain way so you don't overheat the inside of the island and potentially cause a fire. Always consult a professional.
 

You have the pre-assembled island's that come in many different sizes and shape's but you must choose from their selection. Cal Spas has a nice selection of these. You can choose the tile and or stucco design and color, from their selection.

Next, you can hire a landscape architect to design an island and buy the stainless insert items( side burner, bar tender, fridge, etc.) locally and have the landscaper install them. With this option you can design whatever you want and choose the type of material used. This can become on the expensive side depending on the material used, but you will achieve exactly what you want.

There are companies that sell the stainless steel grill inserts and accessories that also will design and build an island to your specifications. Alfresco has a very nice grill selection and accessory line up. And they use stucco or brick for the exterior and granite or stone for the top. They use metal studs for their framing. I have seen the final product and it's very well built. You can go to their website and find a dealer that is near you. You also have the freedom of shaping the island as you see fit which becomes one stop shopping.

Do some research and decide which way works best for you if you have any questions send me an e-mail and I will answer any of your questions. Let me know what you think.

Until Next Time...
