Looking for reasonably priced outdoor built-in grill

[cswanson2]

Can anyone give me advice on a reasonably priced outdoor built-in grill unit? I'd like to build myself a custom outdoor kitchen, and I'd like to keep the price of a fairly nice and large main cook surface to about $1000 or less. I was looking for LP but natural will work too.

I know these units get expensive, but I also know that I don't think most of them are worth it, they are just charging a large luxury premium for these types of things.

Any thoughts or help?

Thanks,

Most of the build in units are far superior to the stand alone that most back yards have. Perhaps you just don't appreciate the differences. Check out

If you have NG available, it would make sense to use it as it is cheaper and more convenient.

You're not making a whole lot of sense (=A2ents), you seem to be far more concerned with cost than with function. In any event, from what I can gather from your post you need to go here and click on Built-In Gas Grills, link is on the far right:

When I was a wee lad, I once worked on a small dock, where, among other things we sold cooked crab.

The WAY we cooked crab was to build a 4x4x8' stainless steel box, set down on cinderblocks, with ledges inside to hold up an expanded-steel mesh. We'd dump 10 gallons of seawater into the bottom of the thing, dump 100-400 pounds of crab in on top, and then shove a burner taken out of someone's home furnace under the whole thing, and drip the fuel-line into a can of deisel fuel.

I mention this to illustrate the point that cooking equipment isn't particularly complicated.

You need a gas supply, a stainless steel box with a cover, drains, and air-holes, one or more valves, and an array of replacement burners, and something to hold the food up and away from the burners.

If you want something that will also look pretty, then you also need someone who knows how to cut and weld stainless.

This has what to do with grilling... and you inserted my attribution without anything I wrote... your momma has crabs.
