A Built-in Gas BBQ Adds Class to Your Outdoor Entertaining

Built-in Gas BBQ

A built-in gas BBQ grill is a wonderful adjunct to outdoor entertaining. Whether your outdoor entertaining space is a patio, deck, porch, or poolside terrace, the built-in gas BBQ adds elegance to your outdoor cooking. You have a number of choices when it comes to designing your built-in gas BBQ: The size of the grill and number of burners; the type of material for the grill enclosure and countertops (stone, tile, marble, wood); propane tank or piped-in natural gas; and accessories (plumbing for a sink, drawers, storage).

Many home improvement stores have pre-built outdoor gas BBQs that can be delivered and set up, ready to go. However, if you want a custom built-in gas BBQ, you have the option of building it yourself or hiring a contractor who specializes in them. If you elect to have natural gas from your home piped in rather than using propane tanks, you need a licensed contractor to perform that portion of the construction.

If you decide to build a custom unit yourself, shop online for the various components. Depending on the size and complexity, prices for a built-in gas BBQ range from under $500 to well over $5000. So shop carefully and match your dreams to your budget.
