Installable in combustable material
This built-in BBQ is the only one of its kind on the market that is able to be installed directly into a benchtop made from combustible materials. This means it can be dropped into any standard kitchen bench, eliminating the need for granite or stone benchtops. This means you have the ability to use wood and laminate among others. Granite, stone and similar materials will remain the preferred option for many outdoor kitchen owners, giving a look of sophistication and quality, to match the same characteristics in the Heatlie Island Gourmet Elite built in BBQ.
Fits in standard benchtops
This BBQ will fit into a standard 600mm benchtop. This is another bonus for outdoor kitchen owners who have built their outdoor kitchen but are yet to choose their BBQ, and easy for builders and cabinet makers too, eliminating the need for a non-standard bench to be manufactured.
Flame failure as standard
This safety feature is often a standard requirement for many outdoor kitchen installations. It is now included in this new product as part of the gas tap configuration and is designed to cut the gas supply if the flame is extinguished by a gust of wind, for example.
Autoignition
As the knob on the Island Gourmet Elite is turned, the piezo ignition automatically lights the BBQ. No additional buttons to push and maintain. Easy, no fuss and works every time.
Easy to clean
The Island Gourmet Elite features a lift-out plate and a separate fat container which allows for easy cleaning while still eliminating the risk of a flare-up from dripping fat. The plate can be lifted out, pressure cleaned or scrubbed, then easily replaced for your next BBQ. The fat container can be easily cleaned out also.
Comes fully assembled
The Island Gourmet Elite now arrives on your doorstep fully assembled, ready to drop into your benchtop and be connected to a gas supply. This BBQ is comfortably lifted by 2 people. You will be up and running in under 10 minutes, ready to cook on your new BBQ.
LPG or Natural Gas
Bottled LPG and piped Natural Gas are able to be used safely on the Island Gourmet Elite. There is a small additional cost for the Natural Gas version. Heatlie were also successful in obtaining approval from the AGA (Australian Gas Association) for the use of Universal Gas, allowing this product to be used in other countries using this type of gas.
