Possible location for external gas bayonet (for BBQ) [pic]

What size BBQ are you going to have?

If it's one of those new monster BBQs with 6 burners, wok burner etc - I'd put it at A - more room.

A small 4 burner BBQ then B - but the glass might get a lot of fat splatter.

Thanks. The problem is I DONT know where to put the BBQ!!! I am not really into BBQ, probably once in a month. I will probably get a small (4 burner) BBQ.

Anyone else?

commodorenut - I thought A was along the brick wall? (I may very well have read the plan incorrectly)

It is starting to make sense now, with the "storing" and "cleaning" ideas.

Could i put the gas bayonet at the far left of point A. In this case, i will roll the BBQ unit to the left end of the alfresco, so the fat will go to the garden? If not in use, the BBQ will just sit in point A.

How far is the gas tube/hose can be extended from the base (gas bayonet)?
Is it a good practice to disconnect the bbq from the bayonet each time after use? Or it doesnt matter?

Huge thanks for the replies..

PS: Mark, the sliding door open to both sides.

Yeah I realised it was brick not glass, and went to edit but stuffed it....

How big is the area at point A?
It may be more convenient to leave it at A - it's more rotected from the wind & rain (so you can BBQ regardless of the weather) and if there's enough room to be at least 300mm away from the nearest glass, then the heat won't affect it (I'm guilty of breaking a kitchen window with BBQ heat....)

If the area at A is too small, then B would be the best bet.

If you leave the BBQ at A, then you'll find it may turn into a convenient outdoor storage table for all manner of cricket bats, tennis racquets, beer cans......

The length of "point A" wall is 2 meter (the dimension of the alfresco is 3X5.3m).
Thanks.

Where do the prevailing "BBQ season" breezes come from?

Nothing worse than cooking with rain etc slashing onto the BBQ.

I absolutely concur with the previous post. My cousin has an alfresco and a BBQ under it in probably the equivalent of either point A or point B and their ceiling has a dirty great charcoal mark on the ceiling above the BBQ that everyone notices.

Only use your BBQ under the alfresco ceiling when it is raining.

Or build in a BBQ as a feature and have a range rood installed Like  ⋅  Add a comment  ⋅  Pin to Ideaboard  ⋅  Share

Of course you need $$$$

Seriously use a gas bottle.

Then you can put it wherever you want depending on prevailing conditions.
