Most people pick a built-in grill by looking at the price and the width. Both matter, but neither is the question that decides whether you'll be happy with it in three years.
The real question is how many people you cook for at once, and whether you need two temperature zones at the same time.
Start With Burners, Not Inches
Width tells you what fits your island. Burner count tells you how you'll actually cook.
Three burners gives you one hot zone and one cooler zone — enough to sear and then move something to indirect heat. A grill for four to six people.
Four burners lets you run two zones with room to spare and cook for eight to ten.
Five or six burners is for people who entertain. If you're doing ribs, burgers and vegetables at the same time and the timing matters, this is where it stops being stressful.
A 24" grill in an outdoor kitchen built for parties is a common mismatch — size the grill to the crowd, not just the cutout.
The Bull Lineup, By Cooking Capacity
We're an authorized Bull dealer. Burner counts and BTU below are Bull's published figures; prices are list price from our Bull distributor.
Bull Steer 24" — 3 Burner, 45,000 BTU — $1,659
The compact option. Right for a small patio island, a galley-style outdoor kitchen, or a second grill in a larger build. Four to six people.
Bull Outlaw 30" — 4 Burner, 60,000 BTU — $1,799
Four burners and 60,000 BTU in the 30" class, $140 more than the Steer.
Bull Lonestar 30" — 4 Burner, 60,000 BTU — $2,199
The same burner count and BTU as the Outlaw, with Bull's twin lighting system.
Bull Angus 30" — 4 Burners + Infrared Back Burner, 75,000 BTU — $2,939
Four main burners plus an infrared back burner for 75,000 BTU total, with LED lights above each control knob and twin interior lighting. The rotisserie kit is sold separately.
Bull Brahma 38" — 5 Burners + Infrared Back Burner, 90,000 BTU — $3,919
Five burners means three genuine temperature zones. If you host ten or more regularly, this is the size that stops you cooking in shifts.
Bull Diablo 46" — 6 Burners + Infrared Back Burner, 105,000 BTU — $4,899
The largest grill head in the lineup: six burners, 105,000 BTU and 806 sq in of cooking surface (Bull). More than a family of four needs; right for someone who cooks for twenty.
The Two Specialists
Bull Bison Premium Built-In Charcoal Grill
Charcoal, built in. Many outdoor kitchens that include one run it alongside a gas grill — gas for weeknights, charcoal when you have the time. If your island has room for two openings, it's worth considering.
Bull 30" Professional Built-In Griddle — 4 Burner, 60,000 BTU
A flat-top, not a grill. Smash burgers, breakfast for a houseful, fajitas — anything that falls through grates.
Natural Gas or Propane — Decide Before You Order
Bull sells each gas grill as a natural gas or a propane model, with different part numbers. Choose before you order.
Natural gas if you have a line at the patio or can run one. No tanks to refill.
Propane if you don't have gas service or the run would be expensive. You'll be managing tanks.
If you're building the island now, run the gas line now — it's much easier before the hardscape is in.
What Else the Opening Needs
A built-in grill drops into a cutout, and the cutout dimensions are specific to the model. Before your mason or fabricator cuts anything:
- Get the cut sheet for your exact model. Not a similar one. We send these with every quote.
- Confirm clearance to combustibles. Build to the clearances in Bull's installation manual for your model.
- Plan ventilation. Propane is heavier than air — follow Bull's venting requirements for an enclosed island with an LP grill.
- Check counter depth. Built-ins need more depth than a standard kitchen counter.
If You Don't Want to Build an Island
Two of our Bull products are complete outdoor kitchen islands — grill, storage and counter in one unit:
- Bull Core Series ODK — Angus grill, side burner and refrigerator
- Bull Myrtle Beach DuraBull 8 ft — granite top, HDPE base
How to Pick, in One Paragraph
Count the people you cook for on a busy day. Four to six, the Steer or Outlaw. Eight to ten, the Angus. Twelve or more, the Brahma. Twenty, the Diablo. Then check the cutout fits your island and confirm your fuel before you order.
Freight
Freight to the lower 48 is included, with liftgate delivery. Inspect the shipment before you sign; if anything is damaged, note it on the delivery receipt and call us. We'll handle the claim with the distributor and manufacturer.
