Grill Bases and Side Burner Cabinets Grill Bases and Side Burner Cabinets have a few extra steps that make up the proper installation. First and foremost, if you are installing a drop-in grill or side burner in your cabinets, you MUST first install an insulated heat jacket before inserting the gas appliance. This protects your cabinets from the extreme heat and protects your limited warranty. Please Note: You must purchase the insulated heat jacket from the manufacture of the gas appliance.

Matching Ends and Island Back Panels Matching Ends and Island Back Panels Matching End Panels and Island Back Panels are used to cover any exposed cabinet sides or backs. These panels are manufactured from the same material as the cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Matching End Panels are oversized and will not match the exact measurements of your cabinets. This allows them to be trimmed to follow the pitch of the floor of your outdoor space, which is often sloped.
