Counter Cutout & Clearance Notes

  • Cutout: Use "O" for the main opening
  • Latch: Use P, Q, R for front clearance
  • Hinge: Use A, B, I for rear clearance
  • Height: Use F as your primary reference

Built-In Installation Guidelines

Always confirm measurements before cutting. Use non-flammable materials, allow airflow underneath, and do not trap the grill in a sealed cabinet.

Key Things to Consider:

Before building your outdoor kitchen or table, review these key considerations. They will help you avoid common mistakes and ensure proper fit, clearance, and long-term durability.

Outdoor Kitchen Build:

  • Keep the front open: Do not build a fixed countertop in front of the grill. You need clearance for the lid and latch—front ledges often crack over time.
  • Plan for lid opening: Account for depth when the grill is open—especially if there is a wall or backsplash behind it. Reference "I" in the chart (measured from the hinge).
  • Short on depth? It’s okay if the grill sits slightly forward and extends past the front of the masonry. Just make sure the front feet are fully supported on the ledge.
  • Account for the feet: The grill feet are approximately 1" tall and must be included when setting final height.
  • Use "F" as your baseline: Measurement "F" (top of base) is the key reference for setting grill height—similar to kitchen countertop or stove height.
  • Set proper height: At minimum, align the top of the base (F) with the countertop. Many prefer it slightly above for easier access.

Table Build:

  • Set working height first: Position the top of the base at a comfortable cooking height—similar to your kitchen.
  • Lower the table surface: The table top should sit a few inches below the base height to allow access to the front latch.
  • Build around the grill: Use a cutout design, as shown in the diagram, so the table surrounds the grill—this adds strength and stability.
  • Plan for wheels early: If using casters, select them before building and include their height in your measurements.
  • Use locking casters: Two locking wheels on the front side are recommended for stability.
  • Allow side space: Make sure there’s enough room on both sides of the grill for your largest cookware and tools.
  • Do not place directly on flammable surfaces: Always account for the grill feet and use proper materials underneath.
  • Think about a cover: If you plan to use a table cover, factor that into your final dimensions. Shop covers early in the process.
  • Need ideas? Search for Kamado table plans online—there are plenty of proven designs.
  • Real-world build: Expect the project to take longer and cost more than planned—most builds do. Give yourself extra time and budget from the start.
