Planning the Best Location

Here are some of the things that you will need to consider when determin­ing where to place your new barbecue island.

Safety First

Do not place your barbecue island near trees and shrubs.
Be certain that your installation will meet all city and local safety codes and

requirements.

Consider How You Will Use Your Barbecue Island

Your barbecue island is mainly used for family recreation. Be sure to leave
plenty of room around it for activity.

Ventilation and Access

If you place your barbecue island close to a wall or fence, make sure you
allow room for ventilation. Also, if you have storage areas in your barbecue
island, make sure they can be conveniently accessed.

Enclosures and Awnings

Your barbecue island is for outdoor use ONLY.

You can locate your barbecue island any place where there is adequate

ventilation. The size and conguration of your house and yard will determine

how you should locate your barbecue island, but as a general rule, do not
place it under or near windows that can be opened into your home.

1

Do not locate your barbecue island in an enclosed room such as a garage,
shed, or breezeway or under a sealed overhead structure.

You can place your barbecue island in your patio as long as there is

adequate ventilation and no re risk. We do not recommend placing your

barbecue island in any enclosed area, that is, any covered area that is
walled on two, three or four sides.

You can install an awning over your barbecue island, provided you make

sure it is high enough to prevent damage or re. Maintain sufcient distance
as to not overheat any overhead combustible material. We recommend

you check with local inspectors and your homeowner’s association.

Plan for Your Environment

If you live in a region where it snows in the winter or rains frequently,
place the barbecue island near a house entry. Consider adding a covered
walkway from your barbecue island to your house or patio.

Preparing a Good Foundation

Your barbecue island needs a solid and level foundation. Damage
caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered
by the warranty. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide a proper
foundation for the barbecue island.

If you do not already have a location for your barbecue island, we
recommend you have a concrete slab prepared to accommodate it.
There are several advantages of having a permanent slab, including
stability, levelness, and it eliminates sagging.

As you prepare your slab, this is the best time to run gas, electrical, and
water lines and locate stub-ups for your barbecue island to connect
to. The size and shape of the base of the barbecue island is called a
footprint.

Footprint drawings show the actual dimensions of the base and
suggested locations for your stub-ups. Footprint drawings for each
model can be found in in the Cal Flame Barbecue Island Pre-Delivery
Guide, available from your dealer, the Cal Flame web site, or through
Cal Flame customer service.

Although a permanent slab is recommended, you can place your

barbecue island on a prepared surface with bricks or pavers. We

do not recommend you place your barbecue island on gravel, sand,
timbers, dirt or grass because these surfaces have the potential to
become unstable or uneven. Your barbecue island should always be

on a stable, at, level surface.

You can put your barbecue island on a deck provided it is rated to
support the full weight of your barbecue island, grill, and all accessories.

We recommend you have a contractor or structural engineer examine

your deck to determine whether it can bear the load of your barbecue
island.

Your Cal Flame retailer can help you with your foundation and more.

Your retailer has a wealth of information and experience about how to

get the most out of your barbecue island and can provide you with a
full line of accessories that are designed to complement your barbecue
island and increase your enjoyment.

Natural Gas Installation

You do not need to hire a contractor to install your natural gas service,
but you need to make sure you have all required permits and ensure

the installation complies with State and local code. We recommend
you hire a certied contractor if you do not wish to do the installation

yourself.

If your dealer is not a certied contractor, you will need to hire a

contractor for installation of your gas service.
The natural gas pipe from your house to the location of your barbecue

island needs to be ¾” and terminate with a shut-off valve with a

½” male tting. Check with a contractor or your local inspector for

requirements.
