Built-in grills, fitted and installed

New built-in grills, sold and installed across San Diego County and from Temecula up to Hemet. We fit them into the island you already have, or set up a freestanding grill on the patio. We measure, match you to grills that fit, reshape the cut-out if it needs it, and install it.

Will a new grill fit?

Yes. The only question is how. Pick where you are headed.

Pick an option to see what changes.

Same size

Plenty of grills swap straight in. If a current model matches your cut-out, there is no stonework at all, and it is usually the quickest route to a new grill.

Going bigger

We reshape the cut-out to take the larger grill. The dashed lines are your opening today; the hatched strips are what comes out.

Custom fabrication where the island needs it.

Going smaller

A smaller, more economical grill leaves a gap either side. Our GrillFitter® closes it, so the new grill looks like the island was built around it.

Freestanding

No island and no cut-out to match. Choose the grill, in the showroom or with us on site, and we set it up where you cook.

Grill installation

We install the grills we sell, built into the island you already have or freestanding on the patio. You get a new grill, not a new project. Changes to the island itself, like reshaping a cut-out for a bigger grill, are quoted separately, and you see that price before anything is ordered.

  • Gas connected and leak-testedThe old grill disconnected, the new one hooked up and tested before it is lit
  • Fitted to your islandSame size swaps straight in; bigger gets the cut-out reshaped; smaller gets our GrillFitter
  • Finished and walked throughEdges flush and level, stainless polished, the controls shown before we leave
  • 1 day to 2 weeksTypical, order to install. We track the order and book the day with you
A recent install

A Blaze Professional going into an older island. The overhang was notched on both sides so the trim kit sits flush to the wall, and the trim kit lifts the grill clear of the concrete base. From the patio, it looks like it was always there.

And afterwards, we service every grill we install.

New grill, old island?

Built-in grill replacement with the GrillFitter

Worried a new grill will not fit your island? A new built-in grill insert often needs a different cut-out from the one in your island. We custom laser-cut a frame that fits your opening and your new grill, so it drops in with a finished look and no gaps. We call it the GrillFitter.

  • Cut for your islandWe measure your opening and the new grill, and the frame is cut to fit both
  • No contractor, no stoneworkYou keep the island you have, and the new grill goes straight in
  • A finished lookNo gaps either side, so it looks like the island was built around it
  • Installed by our teamHundreds installed. We fit every GrillFitter ourselves; it is not sold on its own

Had a great experience getting rid of my built in BBq from the nineties replaced with a shiny new one my tenants will get to break in. It’s got a rotisserie!

Dan and his team did a great job of advising me through the procurement process of buying a new grill and installing it with all of the outdoor kitchen accessories. Top notch. Signed up for a annual service contract it's the only way to go. Hats off to San Diego barbecue cleaners.

Installation of our new grill was done on time and professionally. Months into our Blaze purchase we began to have problems with the electrical components of the grill- after contacting SDBBQ they were very attentive and came down to our house twice to asses and then to resolve the issues. They worked directly with the manufacturer and made it happen.

Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Kenneth was excellent, on time to the minute, BBQ looked great after he was done, no mess whatsoever in the surrounding area, explained everything, even went out of his way to find a replacement part from an offsite since it was not made anymore. Definitely will see you back next year!!!!

I originally purchased my barbecue from San Diego barbecues about five years ago, the installation was absolutely amazing with them even building a custom sleeve around where the barbecue meets the island. Recently, a burner went out so I had them come out and do a full cleaning and replace the burner. They did an amazing job making my barbecue look like it was almost brand new, and working like a champ again. About a month later, one of the other burners went out and they came out next day to get me up and running again. The service is simply fantastic and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

The entire SD BBQ team was professional. They helped me decide on the best grill for our needs, install was smooth and a local company.

I've used other BBQ cleaners before. Some forgot to reinstall much needed parts. And one 'lost' burner parts that I had to pay to replace. San Diego BBQ Cleaners did everything I asked and we tested for the desired outcome. They did a terrific job. I will use them again.

Kenny did a pristine job on our BBQ. It went from dirty and sticky to like new. He worked straight thru and knew his stuff.
this company is amazing. We purchased our Blaze BBq from them and their maintenance yearly should keep it around a long time. Thnaks for another great job!

Awesome pricing, great response time and quick installation. Give them your business.

Peter C Google review

San Diego BBQ was amazing! Nick was so helpful and answered all of our questions. My husband totally loves the infrared rotisserie function of our 32" Delta built-in gas grill. We only purchased this additional feature at Nick's suggestion and could not be happier! Thanks guys!

Maybe it does not need replacing

If your grill still works, a cleaning or a repair may be all it needs. We tell you which, and when both make sense, we price both.

Repair or replace?
