2 Burner Built-In Grills

How wide is a 2 burner built-in grill?

Most 2 burner built-in grills at Northwoods Grills measure 24 to 30 inches wide. American Outdoor Grills T-Series and L-Series heads sit at the compact end at 24 inches, the Artisan American Eagle lands at 26 inches, and Coyote, Alfresco, Summerset and American Made Grills all build 30-inch two-burner heads. Compare the 30-inch built-in grills if 30 is your target cutout.

Is a 2 burner built-in grill big enough for a family of four?

Yes, a 2 burner built-in grill handles everyday cooking for a family of four. The Coyote SL-Series 30 gives you 672 square inches of grate space and the American Made Grills Alturi 30 offers 755 square inches, which covers burgers, steaks and vegetables in one load. Move up to a 3 burner built-in grill if you regularly cook for eight or more.

How many BTUs does a 2 burner built-in grill produce?

Two-burner built-in grills here run from 24,000 BTUs on the Coyote SL-Series 30 to 64,000 BTUs on the American Made Grills Estate Freedom 30, with the 24-inch American Outdoor Grills heads at 32,000 BTUs and the Artisan American Eagle 26 at 40,000. Higher output means faster preheat and stronger searing, not necessarily better everyday cooking.

Can 2 burner built-in grills run on natural gas?

Yes, 2 burner built-in grills come in both propane and natural gas configurations. Coyote sells the SL-Series 30 as separate C3SL30NG and C3SL30LP models, and American Outdoor Grills splits its 24-inch T-Series and L-Series the same way, so you order the fuel rather than convert it. Browse natural gas built-in grills to filter by hookup.

Do I need a liner to install a 2 burner built-in grill in a wood-framed island?

Many combustible-island installations require an insulating liner between the grill head and the framing. If your island is built from wood studs or any combustible material rather than masonry or steel, plan on a liner sized to your grill and check the model's own installation requirements. Shop grill liners to match one to your head.

Can you do two-zone cooking on a 2 burner grill?

Yes. Set one burner to high and leave the other off, and a 2 burner built-in grill gives you a direct searing zone and an indirect zone for roasting or smoking. That is enough separation to finish thick steaks, cook a whole chicken through without scorching the skin, and hold food warm while the rest of the meal finishes.

What is 304 stainless steel and why does it matter on a built-in grill?

304 stainless steel is the corrosion-resistant grade used across these 2 burner built-in grills, and it is what keeps a permanently installed head from rusting out. Because a built-in grill sits exposed in an island year round and cannot be moved into a garage, the material grade matters more than it does on a portable grill.

What is the difference between a 2 burner and a 3 burner built-in grill?

A 2 burner built-in grill is narrower, usually 24 to 30 inches, and gives you two heat zones; a 3 burner grill widens to 25 to 56 inches and adds a third zone, so you can hold a sear, a medium zone and an off zone at the same time. Choose two burners when island width is the constraint.
