Built-In Grill Cutout Dimensions by Brand and Model
A 36" built-in grill does not need a 36" hole. Depending on the brand, a nominal 36" head requires a cutout width anywhere from 32.5" to 36.75" — a spread of more than four inches across models that all call themselves 36 inches. This page collects the published cutout width, height and depth for every active built-in grill, side burner, power burner and insulating liner we carry, organised by brand and series. Where a figure is not published we write "Not yet verified" rather than guessing.

Always confirm against the manufacturer's current installation manual before cutting. Dimensions change between model generations.
Why advertised size and cutout size are different numbers
The advertised size is a marketing designation, usually derived loosely from the cooking surface or the hood width. The cutout is an engineering figure: the finished opening the appliance drops into. Two things drive the gap. Most built-in heads have a flange that laps over the opening, so the opening must be narrower than the body — cut to the overall dimension and the flange has nothing to sit on. And some manufacturers take the nominal size at the hood while others take it at the cooking grate, so two "36 inch" grills can differ by inches of actual body width.
Cutout depth is the figure most likely to catch you out, because brands do not measure it the same way. Some publish the opening depth from the front face of the island back; others publish the depth required from the countertop overhang; others publish clear interior depth. A depth figure is not transferable between brands. Treat every depth below as belonging only to the model beside it, and verify it in that manufacturer's manual.
A third trap: an insulating liner has its own, larger cutout. If your island is combustible and needs a liner, build to the liner's opening, not the grill's. Those figures have their own section below, and the insulating liner FAQs explain when a liner is required at all.
All dimensions below are inches, given as Width × Height × Depth, exactly as published on each product listing. If you are matching a new head to an island that already exists, start with the replacement built-in grill cutout finder.

| Ovation (hybrid) | OVA54 | 54" | 53.25 × 15.0 × 25.0 |
Note the 15" cutout height on every hybrid series — Muscle, Encore and Ovation all need five extra inches of opening height compared with the gas-only Estate and Alturi heads, because they carry a charcoal and wood tray. That is the single most common sizing surprise in this brand. The 42" heads listed above are set against every other grill at that width in the 42-inch buying guide.

| Pellet | C2P36 | 36" | 34.25 × 16.5 × 23.0 |
Note on the 36" SL Series. Both fuel versions take the same opening: the natural gas C3SL36NG and the propane C3SL36LP each need 32.5" of cutout width, the same figure Coyote publishes for the CL-Series 36". Confirm against the installation manual for your exact model before cutting.
Note on the 30" SL Series. This is the one width we will not publish. Coyote's current catalog gives a 25 1/2" cutout width for the C3SL30 and its own C3 Gas Grill Manual gives 27" — an inch and a half apart, both Coyote's own numbers. Building to the wrong one is a fit failure either way, so confirm the opening against the installation guide for your exact model, or call us on 843-212-7209 and we will go through it with you. The height and depth above are consistent across Coyote's sources.
Note also that the Coyote C Series 30" head takes a 25.0" opening — a full five inches narrower than the nominal size, and the largest nominal-to-cutout gap in this reference. Coyote's pellet grills need a 16.5" cutout height, far more than the gas heads. The 30" heads listed above are set against every other grill at that width in the 30-inch cutout comparison. See Coyote built-in grills and the Coyote FAQs.

| Artisan | Professional 42" | 42" | Not yet verified |
Alfresco and Artisan are the weakest coverage in this reference: outside the ALXE-30, no cutout depth is published for any model in either brand. For these two, treat the manual as the only source and call us on 843-212-7209 before framing. Note that the ALXE-30's opening is narrower than the grill body — 28.5" against a 30" head — because the head laps over the cutout. See Alfresco built-in grills, Artisan built-in grills, and the Alfresco and Artisan FAQs.

| Broilmaster | 26" Built-In | 26" | 23.5 × 11.75 × Not yet verified |
Memphis is the clearest example of nominal size being no guide at all: the Pro 28 takes a 30.25" opening, wider than its own nominal size, and the Elite 39 takes 42.625". All three Memphis heads need a 16.75" cutout height, which is roughly double a typical gas head. Memphis states its grills are designed, engineered and tested in the USA; it does not claim US manufacture, and we do not claim it on their behalf.

Insulating liners
Where the island is combustible, the liner's cutout is the one you build to. These openings are consistently larger than the grill's own — typically two to seven inches wider — which is exactly why a liner cannot be added to a finished island without recutting.

Where our coverage is thin
We would rather tell you what we do not have than let you discover it mid-project.
- Grill cabinets carry no cutout data at all. None of the 21 items in grill cabinets publishes a cutout figure. See the grill cabinet FAQs.
- Sinks carry no cutout data at all. Plan sink openings from the fixture manufacturer's documentation only.
- Hoods carry no cutout data at all. No item in outdoor hoods publishes a cutout, because hoods are mounted rather than dropped in — but they do have clearance and duct requirements that the manual governs. See the outdoor kitchen hood FAQs.
- Depth is the most commonly missing field across grills. Artisan publishes no depth for any model, and Alfresco only for the ALXE-30.
- The Coyote SL-Series 30" cutout width is unresolved. Coyote's own catalog and its own C3 manual disagree by an inch and a half, so we publish neither figure. See the note in the Coyote section above.
- Doors and drawers are patchy. Many publish width and height with no depth. See grill doors, grill drawers, the access door FAQs and the grill drawer FAQs.
FAQ
What is the cutout for a 36 inch built-in grill?
There is no single answer, which is the point of this page. Among active 36" models the published cutout width runs from 32.5" (Coyote CL and SL Series) to 36.75" (American Outdoor Grills), with American Made Grills at 34.0"–35.0" and Artisan at 34.5". Find your exact model in the tables above.
Can I use a competitor's grill in an opening cut for another brand?
Sometimes, and only if the numbers actually match in all three dimensions. Start with the replacement cutout finder, then confirm in the manual for the new head.
Why does a hybrid grill need a taller opening?
Because it carries a charcoal and wood tray beneath the gas burners. American Made Grills hybrids need 15.0" of cutout height against 10.25" for the gas-only Estate heads.
Does the liner change my cutout?
Yes, substantially. If a liner is required, build to the liner's opening, not the grill's. The liner tables above give both figures for the models where we hold data.
What if my model says "Not yet verified"?
Get the figure from the manufacturer's current installation manual, or call us on 843-212-7209 and we will look it up with you. We will not estimate it from the overall dimensions, because that is how islands get cut wrong.
Final recommendation
Treat this page as a planning and shortlisting tool, not as a cutting document. Its right use is narrowing choices before you buy — seeing that an American Outdoor Grills 36" head needs a materially wider opening than a Coyote 36", or that every Memphis pellet grill needs 16.75" of height, changes which grills belong on your list.
The buyer best served here is the one designing an island that does not exist yet, because you can still choose the grill first and let its cutout drive the design. If your island already exists, the replacement cutout finder is the better starting point. Either way: always confirm against the manufacturer's current installation manual before cutting, because dimensions change between model generations. Gas, clearances, combustible construction, ventilation and electrical all defer to that manual, to local code, and to a licensed professional.
