True Flame Built-In Grills

What sizes do TrueFlame built-in grills come in?

TrueFlame built-in grills come in 25, 32 and 40-inch widths as drop-in heads for an outdoor kitchen island. The 25-inch is the compact three-burner option, the 32-inch four-burner is the common family size, and the 40-inch five-burner is for the largest island setups. All are built in 304 stainless steel.

What is the difference between the TrueFlame E Series and the standard TF grills?

TrueFlame offers the 25 and 32-inch widths in both an E Series and a standard TF version with matching specifications: the TFE25 and TF25 both carry three burners and 42,000 BTUs, and the TFE32 and TF32 both carry four burners and 56,000 BTUs. Compare features on the individual product pages.

How many burners and BTUs do TrueFlame built-in grills have?

TrueFlame built-in grills carry three to five burners, with 42,000 BTUs on the 25-inch models, 56,000 BTUs on the 32-inch models and 80,000 BTUs on the 40-inch TF40. The main burners are rated at 14,000 BTUs each, so output scales directly with the number of burners in the head.

What features do TrueFlame built-in grills include?

TrueFlame built-in grills include LED interior lighting for cooking after dark and Flame Thrower ignition for fast, reliable lighting, with 14,000 BTU stainless steel main burners throughout. The bodies are 304 stainless steel, the grade you want for a head that stays in an island year-round.

Which TrueFlame built-in grill has the most cooking space?

The TrueFlame TF40 is the largest, a 40-inch head with five burners and 80,000 BTUs. Five burners give you more independent heat zones than the four-burner 32-inch models, which matters if you want to sear, cook indirect and hold food at once. Compare the width class in 40-inch built-in grills.

Do TrueFlame built-in grills run on natural gas or propane?

TrueFlame built-in grills are offered in both natural gas and propane configurations. Choose the one that matches the supply at your island before ordering, since a drop-in head is difficult to remove once the counter is finished. Pair one with the flat top in TrueFlame built-in griddles.

What should I confirm before building the island for a TrueFlame grill?

Confirm the cutout width, depth and height, combustible clearances, ventilation requirements, gas connection requirements and insulating-jacket requirements before construction begins. Do not size the opening from the advertised grill width. Settle the model, size, fuel type and available island space first so your contractor works from the manufacturer's current specifications.

Do I need an insulating liner for a TrueFlame built-in grill?

An insulating liner may be required when the grill is installed into an island built from combustible materials such as wood framing. Whether one is needed depends on the model, the surrounding construction and the clearances given in the installation instructions, so confirm it before the island is framed. Browse grill liners.

Are TrueFlame grills good for coastal outdoor kitchens?

The 304 stainless steel construction across the whole TrueFlame range makes it a reasonable candidate for a coastal outdoor kitchen. Salt, humidity, grease and airborne contaminants still need cleaning off regularly, and the grill should be kept covered when it is not in use. A fitted grill cover makes that routine much easier to keep up.

Does TrueFlame make a built-in griddle?

Yes. TrueFlame offers a built-in griddle for outdoor kitchens that want a flat-top station alongside the grill. A griddle earns its cutout if you cook breakfast outdoors, make smash burgers, or cook vegetables and seafood that fall through grill grates. Compare it against the wider built-in griddle range before committing an island opening to one.

How much do TrueFlame built-in grills cost?

TrueFlame models generally land in the under $2,000 and $2,000 to $3,500 tiers, which buys 304 stainless steel construction without a big-brand markup. Buying at that level leaves budget for refrigeration, storage and the rest of the island, which is usually where an outdoor kitchen project runs short.
