Built-In Outdoor Kitchen FAQs
Is there a compatible, pre-produced outdoor kitchen I can buy?
- There is no off-the-shelf or already-produced kitchen that someone can buy that has all the details correct for the Timberline.
How does the induction hob side shelf work with a built-in outdoor kitchen?
- The left shelf is removed from the grill and the induction cooktop is installed into the countertop.
- This requires a skilled individual to build the countertop and cabinet correctly as proper airflow in the enclosure is critical for the longevity of the induction cooktop.
I thought modifying my grill voids my warranty. Will this void my warranty?
- Following these instructions will not void your warranty on a Timberline or Timberline XL ONLY.
- We have designed and tested the Timberline and Timberline XL models to be built into an outdoor kitchen. When modifying your grill to be built into your outdoor kitchen, use our installer instructions to ensure that your modifications follow best practices.
- Modifying any model other than a Timberline or Timberline XL WILL void that grill's warranty.
The Build-In Instructions mention closed cell foam rubber. Does this come with the trim kit?
- The closed cell foam rubber does not come with the trim kit. It can be purchased from most hardware stores or wherever the contractor gets the other supplies used to build the outdoor kitchen. Contractors should be familiar with closed cell foam rubber as it is used often when building in cooktops in kitchens.
What is the extension cord for that comes with the trim kit?
- The extension cord allows customers to place their induction cooktop up to 6' farther from the grill, if desired.
- The hardwired cord plugs into the extension cord, and the extension cord plugs into the grill.
