2023 Cal Flame Outdoor Kitchen BUYERS GUiDE

You've made the decision to build an outdoor kitchen island to entertain friends and family. As the top authorized dealer in the U.S., BetterPatio is your go-to source for the award-winning Cal Flame outdoor kitchen islands. Yes, it feels a little like cheating to be able to pick out the design, appliances and materials, only to have it custom built at Cal Flame's Pomona, California factory (no contractors in your backyard!), delivered and ready to use, usually within an hour or two of delivery.

In this guide, we cover everything you need to know to build your own backyard oasis. If you want to skip a few sections, feel free. Simply click on the header below and it will skip to the section you want to read.

Selecting the materials for your BBQ Island

What are the most popular Cal Flame BBQ Islands?
Understanding Preferred Delivery Options for your Cal Flame BBQ Island

Before we begin, you'll need to be able to answer a few basic questions about your dream outdoor kitchen:

How much space (in feet) are allocating for your outdoor kitchen?
How much (if any) seating would you like for your BBQ Island?
Do you plan on entertaining with your BBQ Island?
What appliances (sink, fridge, storage) do you think you'll need for your BBQ Island?
Are you trying to match certain color palettes or hues with your current backyard space?

how to select the right Sized bbq island

Cal Flame BBQ Islands come in wide range of designs and looks, so how do you know what design is best for you? Cal Flame features three basic designs. Linear, L-Shaped and U-Shaped. Out of these three basic designs, Cal Flame features 4 foot, 6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot, 11 foot and 15 foot islands, depending on the model.

Let's talk about your space. How much space are you working with? How many guests do you plan on entertaining? These answers will help dictate the size and design of your Cal Flame BBQ Island.

If limited space is a factor, you'll need to consider the following factors: Will you need a countertop or a island without a countertop overhang? When your Cal Flame grill heats up, are there any combustable materials around the grill that might become hazardous?

If space is not a factor, you'll have more flexibility with island designs and size. You'll want to run electricity to your Cal Flame unit (more on that later), but what about water? Will installing water to your island impact where you want to place it?

Understanding LBK ISLANDS VS. Pavilion ISLANDS

Cal Flame has two primary BBQ island product lines: The LBK (Luxury Backyard) and the Pavilion Island line. The major differences between the LBK Island line and Pavilion Island line is the ability to customize appliances.

The Cal Flame LBK Island designs are pre-packaged pricing kits designed to make your island purchase as easy as possible. They usually come with a grill, fridge, access door and standard side burner, but can include additional features. You can select the type of countertops and base materials as well.

The Cal Flame Pavilion Island designs are customizable and you can add or remove appliances and components as needed. Of course, you can select the countertops and base materials as well. For an exhaustive list of all the storage, doors, grills and appliances available for Cal Flame BBQ Islands, click here.

PRO TIP: BetterPatio is the only authorized dealer in the world with the ability to custom order LBK designs. If you like an LBK design and don't want an appliance (such as a sink or side burner), just let us know and we can custom quote it for you!

CAL FLAME MATERIALS and COLOR SELECTIONS

One of the unique features of ordering a Cal Flame BBQ Island from an authorized dealer is the ability to select the Countertop materials and Base materials for your island.

For countertops, Cal Flame offers three options: Porcelain Tile, Natural Granite Stone Tile and Earth Tone Granite Slab. Natural Granite Stone is an upgrade and does come with additional costs.

PRO TIP:Granite Earth Tone Slab is only available on a handful of models.

Additionally, you can add a trim to either the porcelain tile or the Natural Granite tile. BetterPatio doesn't offer trim on our product listings, but you can request it during the checkout process in the "Notes" section, or speak to a sales specialist to put together a quote for you.

Materials: Emperador Light Natural Granite Tile with Emperador Dark Natural Granite Tile trim

For your base materials, Cal Flame also offers three options: Ameristone Stucco (standard), Natural Stacked Stone and Synthetic Wood Panel.

PRO TIP: Synthetic Wood Panel is new for 2021 and only offered on a few models.

GAS, WATER AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

All Cal Flame Islands are designed to make connecting water, gas and electrical as easy as possible. The islands are built hollow and without floors. This allows flexibility for stubbing utilities to your BBQ Island. For specific questions about utility access, Cal Flame has footprint diagrams for their designs you can find here.

Electrical:All Cal Flame BBQ Islands sold by BetterPatio come with an internal 120 volt electrical outlet box that will need to be connected to power. Please consult with a licensed electrician to connect your electrical.

Plumbing:For BBQ Islands with plumbing requirements, please consult Cal Flame's delivery guide to better understand how to connect the sink to your existing lines.

Gas Requirements: All Cal Flame BBQ Grills ship as Liquid Propane ready. This means that you can attach a liquid propane tank to your grill as soon as you receive and can be up and running within minutes. If you want to run Natural Gas, a Natural Gas Conversion Kit will be included with your purchase and usually takes around 15 minutes to convert. You can learn more about the conversion process here starting on page 32.

PRO TIP:For those that don't want to deal with running plumbing lines to your outdoor kitchen, Cal Flame sinks can also connect to garden hoses. A convenient access door strategically placed under the sink can accommodate a 5 gallon bucket for sink water drainage.

REVIEWS FROM BETTERPATIO CLIENTS

“Great island for a great price and the BEST customer service.” - Alain H.

“After a delivery delay, I received my kitchen island and it is absolutely beautiful! I also have to say that the customer service was excellent!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do the countertops come off during delivery?
No, the countertops are welded onto the frame of the outdoor kitchen island. This island ships as two pieces to form the L.

What does Countertop Right and Countertop Left mean?
When you face the grill, do you want your countertop to be to the left of you (countertop left) or the right of you (countertop right)?

I don’t have access to water. Can we remove the sink?
Yes, you can, but not with this product. Check out the identically designed LBK870-X, a BetterPatio exclusive, where you can add or remove components as you wish. It’s the identical design but gives you more flexibility in the appliances and accessories you might want for your outdoor kitchen. Alternatively, if you wanted to keep the sink, a garden hose will attach underneath to the sink, if needed.

Does the Rotisserie Kit come with the P4 Four Burner Grill?
Yes, the P4 Four Burner Grill comes with the Rotisserie Kit, Griddle Tray, Smoker Box and Cover.

Can I purchase a cover for the entire island?
We do not sell island covers and Cal Flame does not recommend covering your island. Covering your island can retain and trap moisture. Your Cal Flame Island is built to withstand the elements.

Is the island hollow inside. How is it ventilated?
Yes, Cal Flame islands are hollow inside. All Cal Flame islands come with a 1.5-inch ventilation gap between the island and ground. This allows for proper airflow.

#2 MOST POPULAR CAL FLAME BBQ ISLAND - LBK710

This 7-foot BBQ Island is a popular choice among clients due to the standard amenities, including the countertop seating, Stainless Steel Fridge, Side Burner, 30 Inch Access Doors and P4 Four Burner Grill, as well as the Cultured Stone (available in Nantucket Stacked Stone and Autumn Pro Fit). Like this design with stucco instead of the cultured stone? We can do that too!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do the countertops come off during delivery?
No, the countertops are welded onto the frame of the outdoor kitchen island. This island ships as two pieces to form the U-shape.

I don’t have access to water. Can we remove the sink?
Yes, you can. This product is completely customizable. Alternatively, if you wanted to keep the sink, a garden hose will attach underneath to the sink, if needed.

Does the Rotisserie Kit come with the P4 Four Burner Grill?
Yes, the P4 Four Burner Grill comes with the Rotisserie Kit, Griddle Tray, Smoker Box and Cover.

Can I purchase a cover for the entire island?
We do not sell island covers and Cal Flame does not recommend covering your island. Covering your island can retain and trap moisture. Your Cal Flame Island is built to withstand the elements. With that said, if you really want a cover, we can custom order one for you after delivery.

Is the island hollow inside. How is it ventilated?
Yes, Cal Flame islands are hollow inside. All Cal Flame islands come with a 1.5-inch ventilation gap between the island and ground. This allows for proper airflow.

We’ve never heard of BetterPatio. Who are you?
We are a specialty retailer focused on outdoor kitchens. We are the number one Cal Flame retailer in the USA (you can call and ask them!). We’re based in Tennessee, but we can ship Cal Flame outdoor kitchen islands all over the United States. While you may have heard of other big box retailers, our focus is developing personal relationships with our clients.

ABOUT THE CAL FLAME GRILL

Select among three of your favorite Cal Flame Grills:

The award winning P Series P4 Four Burner Grill is packed with innovative features. It has an expansive cooking surface with 4 exclusively V-shaped cooking grates. The heavy-duty stainless steel burner knobs control a truly impressive ignition system and Flame Tamers above each of the 4 burners ensure even-heat distribution. Its stainless steel structure gives it lasting quality, style and durability as well as making your clean up job easier. Other features that will enhance your grilling include a full-width warming rack, an easy to read built-in temperature gauge and two internal grill lights for your twilight or night time BBQ.

Award winning for its innovation, the Cal Flame P5 Five Burner Grill is designed for optimal performance. Enjoy a vast cooking surface of 1000 square inches that gives you ample amount of space for meats, poultry, fish and vegetables. The 5 solid stainless steel cooking grates are exclusively V-shaped to prevent smaller food items from falling through. The cast stainless steel burner knobs are part of a truly impressive ignition system. Each igniter is completely sealed, protected from sauces and oil, and each burner ignites independently of the other burners.

When all high-powered burners are operating, the P5 Grill delivers 75,000 BTUs evenly across your grilling area. If that’s not enough heat, then there is an option to switch-out any burner with a Sear Zone Burner accessory to achieve superior grilling alternatives.

Looking for more heating power? Check out the Cal Flame Top Gun 5 Burner Convection Grill featuring the benefits of traditional convection cooking. You will grill 30 percent faster with 20 percent less fuel. Convection grilling is achieved by combing the overall BTU with a powerful and exclusive 110V convection fan to uniformly circulate heat when the grill hood is closed. Heat distributes more quickly and evenly across the entire grilling surface for efficient grilling time, and improved grilling results, with no more hot spots.

About Cal Flame P4 Four Burner Grill

Award winning for its innovation, the P4 Grill's every feature is designed for optimal performance.

Enjoy a vast cooking surface of 800 square inches that gives you ample amount of space for meats, poultry, fish and vegetables. The 4 solid stainless steel cooking grates are exclusively V-shaped to prevent smaller food items from falling through. The cast stainless steel burner knobs are part of a truly impressive ignition system. Each igniter is completely sealed, protected from sauces and oil, and each burner ignites independently of the other burners.

Situated above each burner you'll find a Flame Tamer.

Lip guards on each burner serve to prevent clogging from the fats and juices that naturally drip from your grilling.

When all high-powered burners are operating, the P4 Grill delivers 60,000 BTUs evenly across your grilling area. If that’s not enough heat, then there is an option to switch-out any burner with a Sear Zone Burner accessory to achieve superior grilling alternatives.
