BBQ Island Kits and Built-In Barbecue Materials in Scotts Valley, CA

A built-in BBQ kit includes the grill unit itself plus the surrounding masonry — block for the structure, veneer or stone for the face, and a counter surface. Doors, drawers, and side burners can be added depending on your needs. Ask to see our complete selection, and we'll work out what your barbecue kit includes.

Natural gas plumbs in permanently and never needs refilling, but the line has to be run by a licensed contractor. Propane is simpler to set up and runs off a tank you swap when it's empty. Charcoal and wood take longer to light and give you smoke and heat that gas can't match. The fuel decides the enclosure, so choose it before anything gets built.

Usually, provided the slab will carry the weight. A built-in island is heavy, and the surface underneath has to be stable and level. Bring photos and dimensions, and we'll tell you whether the existing patio works or whether it needs a footing first.

Block for the structure, then veneer or natural stone for the face, so the island matches the rest of the hardscape. Counter material on top for food prep. Non-combustible material is what belongs immediately around the firebox, and heat-rated components where the grill meets the fire.

Most BBQ tool sets include tongs and a spatula at minimum, while larger sets add a fork and a basting brush, with some containing up to 29 pieces. Look for stainless steel, which is rust-resistant and long-lasting outdoors, and a handle length of 12 to 16 inches to keep your hands clear of the heat. Handles come in steel, plastic, silicone, or wood, and basting brush preference splits between stiff bristles and silicone.

Remove and clean the grates after use, and let the surface cool before you scrub it. Wash tools with gentle dish soap rather than assuming they're dishwasher safe — check the set before you buy. Stainless components hold up better outdoors in this coastal climate, and a cover keeps weather off the grill between uses. The masonry itself needs sealing if it's exposed, so ask us about sealers for the stone and counter.
