Want an outdoor kitchen or a space that is less ambitious, but still produces tasty results? One thing is certain, your centerpiece will be the built-in BBQ. A sure value for several decades, it generally impresses with its aesthetics, its quality, its resistance to bad weather and its numerous features, which vary depending on the brand.
How about a few tips to help you create your dream grill space? With a bonus, our favorite models!
First thing to do? Find your built-in BBQ!
Since the built-in BBQ will be highlighted in your space, you might as well focus on a model that will meet your needs and desires.
But if you don’t have time to make this selection, you can rely on the Foyer Gaz catalog. Four brands have made a place for themselves:
- Saber’s built-in BBQs. Running on natural gas or propane gas, they stand out for their stainless steel design. They generally have three burners, an infrared cooking system and a generous cooking surface for a price varying between $3000 and $4000.
- A little cheaper, but still good quality: Jackson Grills BBQ. Again in stainless steel, equipped with infrared cooking mode and three burners, they consist of a very robust structure – right down to the lid – and a very enviable work surface.
- The Broil King brand offers barbecues between $2500 and $4500, which leave a great impression, thanks to their advanced features and their diverse range. And of course, they share with their competitors a certain number of characteristics synonymous with quality.
- Finally, the flagship models of Blaze Grills have 3 or 4 stainless steel burners and always an infrared cooking system, and are also recognized for their varied range of accessories and removable grills, for a price between $2000 and $3000.
As you can see, brands often offer models with similar characteristics. The last criterion that could help you make your choice? The size of the BBQ!
How to create your dream BBQ space?
Starting by choosing your BBQ means assessing the surface area available for it and setting up the remaining space for cooking, storage and pleasure!
- Certainly, the surface area is important, but its configuration is just as important. If your yard has a balcony, a slope, or children’s games, you will probably need to plan your layout in a U or L shape in a straight line to optimize as much as possible without interfering with other activities.
- Choosing your BBQ first also means being aware of the grills, brushes and other accessories that come with it. And so, it means being able to estimate the storage space needed to have everything within reach.
- If your dream is to have a real outdoor kitchen, think about a sink, refrigerator and an additional stone worktop. No need to go back and forth to the house: everything is there, ready to be prepared!
- Grilling season also means having a drink, putting the world to rights while sitting comfortably, and enjoying the long summer evenings! Armchairs, sofas, coffee tables, parasol: the design possibilities are endless!
- Finally, don’t forget the lighting. Whether it’s to allow you to concoct delicious meals with your built-in BBQ, or to keep the fun going late into the night, the carefully balanced lights will complete your outdoor arrangement.
Finally, there are a multitude of ideas and practical elements to consider to create a perfect space around a built-in BBQ. IF this is definitely an option that sounds sweet to your ears, talk to the specialists at Foyer Gaz. Guide you in the choice of built-in BBQ, and inspire you for your exterior, that’s their job!
