Description
The Island Gourmet Elite is Heatlie's Australian made, outdoor kitchen BBQ solution. Slot this into your benchtop for a quality outdoor kitchen that will last for decades. The Island Gourmet Elite comes in two sizes, the 600 and the 850, and has some serious versatility.
Sitting level with minimal obtrusion, this outdoor kitchen BBQ features innovative Zero Clearance technology that allows for the barbecue to be built into any outdoor benchtop, including combustible materials (a first of its kind!). This leads to a stylish look that is cohesive with any design aesthetic whilst providing you with a high-quality Alfresco cooking experience.
A 316 Stainless Steel option is available, please call or email us for a quote.
Benchtop materials suitable for the Island Gourmet Elite:
- Timber
- Laminate
- Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF)
- Stone
- Brick
- Granite
We offer the choice of two hotplates, providing you with the most suitable cooking surface for your kitchen. The mild steel option is highly reactive to changes in temperature with greater control over your cooking, whilst the stainless steel hot plate delivers further rust resistance in coastal areas.
Our built-in barbecues are made to order in Australia. Every BBQ we make at Heatlie is crafted meticulously and goes through extensive quality control measures to ensure you get the toughest BBQ on the market.
To order online, customise the barbecue with the options below and make the outdoor BBQ kitchen of your dreams. For an explanation of each option, see below.
Size - This is the size of the cooking plate in width only. Please refer to installation guides for full dimensions and sizes of the total drop in unit.
Plate Type & Thickness - There are a few options to pick from here.
- Mild or Stainless Steel - Mild steel is a better conductor of heat and will spread heat more evenly.
- Flat or Grilled Plate - Grill plates come with a grilled section on the back half of the plate. Flat plates are fully flat.
- 5mm or 10mm Thickness - 5mm plates are best for domestic casual cooking, 10mm plates work well for more intense, long-duration cooking. Grill plates are not available in 10mm thickness.
Burner Material - Choose between mild or stainless steel for your burner material. Stainless will last a lot longer due to its corrosion resistance, however, you can still expect a decade or so from mild steel powder-coated burners.
Gas Type - The BBQ will come ready to go for Natural Gas or LPG. This can be changed later on down the track with a gas conversion kit.
