Before you can begin designing your custom gas grill enclosure or outdoor kitchen, you need to pick the perfect grill. Most high-end gas grills come in an insert configuration that allows you to put it where you want it, but many are not a standard size so you should pick your grill first. These models can be either natural gas or propane models; if there is a natural gas source available, it may be the best bet to purchase a natural gas grill insert. The following are just a sampling of what is available, remember prices vary so do some serious shopping before deciding.

It comes with a large number of standard features including internal lighting, full rotisserie systems and a wide range of options for your custom enclosure.
The Lynx Professional Series offers a heavy duty solid cast brass burner that comes with a lifetime guarantee. The 30 inch model has two of these burners at 25,000 BTUs each.
