Installing The Grill In A Bbq Island - BLAZE BLZ-20-KAMADO Manuel De L'utilisateur

NOTE: ALWAYS have equipment measured by Contractor before building.
To build in a kamado grill into an outdoor kitchen, one creates a non-combustible built in surface for the
unit to sit on in the outdoor kitchen. EVERY PART OF THE OUTDOOR KITCHEN CONSTRUCTION MUST BE
MADE OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. (see page 12 for examples of unapproved materials) The
height of the cooking surface, amount of extra space around the unit, finishing around the outdoor kitchen,
etc. are all subject to personal preference once the unit physically has the room to fit and clearances from
combustibles are met. Diagrams showing grill dimensions can be found below on pages 12-13 for planning
purposes. Remember the side shelf kit is an optional accessory and typically not purchased for those
building into an outdoor kitchen. The below items will also need to be reviewed when building in:
Typically the cooking surface is positioned at or slightly higher than countertop height.
•
Please adhere to all required distances to combustibles in all directions around the non-combustible
•
island structure. Always give the minimum required distances from combustible surfaces (page 7).
In the event non-combustible materials are used behind the grill, allow enough space for the lid to open
•
(approximately an additional 8 inches behind the grill). A greater space behind the grill may be desirable
to reduce staining of the non-combustible wall caused by the smoke exiting the grill. See grill dimensions
on pages 12-13 for reference.
The outdoor kitchen construction must be made completely out of non-combustible materials.
•
Do not install underneath a combustible surface. This grill should only be used in an open air space.
•
Check to make sure the grill is level.
•
You will need a second person to help you avoid damaging the grill or your grill island
•
Allow for air flow to the lower draft door. This is critical to the function of the grill.
•
The motor of the optional rotis kit mounts onto the left hand outside of the grill body. Please allow enough
•
space for this accessory if it will be used (roughly 7" ). See grill dimensions on pages 12-13 for reference.
NOTE: Check with City and Fire department for Local Building Codes. A Permit may be
Minimum clearance to adjacent combustible construction at 48" from sides & 48" from back and
front.
