Bonfire Whistler 4 32" Built-In Grill - 4 Burners, 72,000 BTUs, 304 Stainless Steel

How big does the island opening need to be?

Cut it 32.52" wide, 21.7" deep and 10.7" high.

Those are the numbers to give your fabricator. The grill drops into that opening from above and rests on the countertop.

What is the burner count and output?

Four cast stainless steel burners producing 72,000 BTUs in total.

How much cooking area do I get?

608 square inches.

That is Bonfire's mid-size head, sized for a family cook with room left over when a few friends turn up.

How heavy is the grill head?

152.1 pounds.

Worth knowing before you lower it into the island, as this is not a one-person job.

What gauge of stainless is used?

12 to 16 gauge 304 stainless steel with polished edges, with solid 304 stainless cooking grates.

Do I have to convert it for natural gas?

No. You order it in either liquid propane or natural gas and it arrives set up for that fuel.

Is anything included beyond the grill itself?

A rotisserie kit and a cover come with it at no extra charge.

Can I grill at night with it?

Yes. Blue LED lights sit in the control panel, and high temperature resistant halogen lights light the cooking surface under the hood.

Is this the same grill as the black stainless 32-inch model?

The cooking hardware lines up: four burners, 72,000 BTUs, and the same 32.52" x 21.7" x 10.7" cutout.

The black stainless Whistler 4 is the same footprint in a black finish, so your island work does not change if you switch between them.

What if I do not want to build an island?

The Whistler 4 32" cart grill is the freestanding version with the same four-burner, 608 square inch head on a rolling cart.

Is a drop-in grill the same thing as a built-in?

Yes. Bonfire's manual for this model calls it a drop-in grill, meaning the head sets down into a prepared opening rather than standing on legs.

You supply the island, the gas line and the cutout; the grill supplies nothing below the countertop.
