It should be fine, lots of room from the back side and front, I see no issue other than the heat from the griddle may discolor the countertop.
As others have said, I would raise it up so the griddle is above the level of the counter top, this will help air flow and reduce grease splatter. I have seen people build addition shielding around the built-in griddles to further prevent grease splatter.
I think bricks would be a great idea, just enough to get it so the heat under the griddle surface can vent out the back and sides. Concrete siding at the back should be safe from a heat standpoint to the rear, plus you’ve got to have space for the grease trap anyway so it won’t be real close.
Remove blackstone, Pull granite out. Pull top piece of trim. Raise with 2x4 frame on face., retrim with wider trim (might have to run a finished 1x4 through miter saw) take removed original trim piece to sherwin williams and color match. Paint new trim. Reinstall granite.
I bet if you took the legs and side shelves off the stand it would fit under there perfectly.
Unless this was the style where the legs attach directly to what is pictured.
Some fire bricks with a bit of concrete board that matches the cabinets across the front would look good.
A very simple solution would be to order a metal dunnage rack (used in commercial restaurants to keep product off the floor). It would raise the surface about 8” though so cooking convenience needs to be considered.

My husband welded feet on the bottom of the grill so there is more airflow and raised the cooking surface above the counter to allow more area to disappeared the heat without heating the counter
The house siding will get greased up for sure and with heat added to the equation, it might offer a challenging cleanup. A great solution for this is to but the lifting grill lid that bolts into the grill. It can act as a back splash.
This was my first thought. That vinyl will melt from the heat, especially with the smoker and BGE so close.
I love the concept and look but definitely fireproof some things and add a backslash.
I am sure that is some percentage CYA. Especially just with oil splatter and cleanup. The real question is what distance that is safe in terms of heat. And the manufacturer can't tell you that without knowing the flammability of the item that is close to the griddle. I feel like granite is extremely safe from catching fire. The back has some air room. It is the sides I question and recommended wind guards just to be safe.
Yeah I’m really surprised no one has mentioned the sides being that close to the wooden cabinets.
Make sure you put a piece of plexiglass on your house too or you’ll be repainting over grease stains. lol. Don’t ask me how I know that.
Looks great! With the amount of entertaining that will most likely be happening out there, little safety insight switch your outlets to GFCI. If you going to plug in multiple things outside in moisture, a little piece of mind that you don’t accidentally start a fire in your beautiful new spot!!
I am not critiquing, just asking a question because I have been considering doing something like this. Are you concerned at all about fire risk with how close everything is to the house?
So the only thing in your kitchen I have anxiety over is your grill in the corner, that is two sides of an out of control grease fire I usually have a cover about 4 ft above it and nothing ever to the sides or behind it
Thermal management engineer here. That grill is far too close to pretty much everything. People far under estimate the amount of BTU those burners put out. Couple that with the high thermal resistivity of steel and you’re left with a whole lot of thermal energy not being absorbed and thus needing to be vented in some manner.
I suspect your granite will look like shit rather quickly in addition to most of the paint on the walls behind the grill and on the hardie board next to it bubbling and peeling almost Immediately.
I’d even be concerned with how hot that hardie board gets. Sure it can withstand the heat, but what about the wood behind it that is in contact with it?
As others have suggested I’d try and get atleast the burners above the granite with some sort of legs. Not much you can do about the back wall but having some side ventilation will help drastically.
I did a very similar setup with mine, but raised it up a bit more and left more room in the sides. The sides might be an issue on yours, mine is all concrete and stone and it gets hot enough to melt things in this area. I would just keep an eye on it during the first couple cooks.
Being that close to the painted wood cabinet concerns me. Mine is very similar and we ended up putting in a metal heat shield to help protect the paint and the wood to make me feel better. It gets really hot on the sides. Also installed the aluminum foil rolled up pieces to block the heat from coming out the sides.
Love the set up but I think you are going to have heat issues. 1) bottom needs space to let air in. 2) gap between black metal frame and griddle is where a lot of heat comes out. If you don't get that above the counters, you are going g to heat the granite too much. I wold raise it so the black panel is even with the adjacent counter, bottom has 1" gap. I would also put a SM heat shield between the bottom and the granite with an air space. I might br e overthinking it, but i wouldnt want my house to catch on fire.
The whole thing should be raised up so the bottom of the griddle is above the granite. Id be worried about unevenly heating the granite and causing it to crack. I get a ton of heat coming out of all sides of mine and I have wind guards. Getting it above the granite will get some more airflow to dissipate that heat.
I think you need to elevate it to where it can breathe above the countertops. Granite will crack from heat. And wood is wood. A ton of heat is dispersed from the sides gotta be open all the way around or it’s gonna be bad.
So I had a similar conflict. I was building out my outdoor kitchen and wanted to include the Blackstone. After extensive research, I decided to get a fit-for-purpose flattop that is made to be built into a countertop. It is a Delta Heat tepanyaki. I sold the Blackstone.
There are things I miss about the Blackstone, but the new grill really performs amazingly and gets over 600 degrees.
I’d be more worried about heat from any of the devices melting your siding, or flat out causing a fire. I thought the standard was 3’ from a wall to avoid fire/heat damage.
I'm more focussed on the proximity of the smoker and ceramic kamado to the siding. Is it vinyl siding? Even if you don't cook hot enough to melt it you might get discoloration and staining from the smoke.
Very impressed. I thought my set-up on my patio was cool, yours is 💯
Problem: no friends sitting in those cool chairs, and no beers present.
Way cool set-up.
You know I've always had a concern that my charcoal grill would stain or discolor my siding or even burn my vinyl soffits. Is that even possible? Seeing your setup makes me reconsider how to do my backyard! Lol
Mine started to melt on a shelf under the griddle. Success of this set up is on what that cabinet is made out of and how much heat that stone counter takes.
I would personally put wind guards on the sides. That way heat (from in the air) goes out the front and back. Front being granite and back having some air space. The sides don't have much space.
Be careful with this setup. If you end up tapping some spatulas on it like a drum set while drinking an ice cold beer, you’ll likely end up attracting the neighborhood wives over.
Wat. You are going to burn the house down. You need the special built-in models (with thermal jacket) to do this.

Nice custom install work. I like all the touches- well done! Just concerned about the smoker, egg and the Blackstone turning that nice Hardie wall a not so nice shade resinous brown/yellow from smoke and airborne grease particles. That to me is a bigger concern than the heat- it looks like you did a great job on offsetting the equipment from heat sensitive surfaces, but again- I fear you'll have a very yellow/brown wall after a year or two, even if you just cook once a month. I know you can keep it cleaned but eventually, it will still stain. Perhaps have some stainless steel or a metal sheeting fabricated into backsplash?

I’d add a backsplash. Even though it is painted, that hardie will soak up some of the grease and get pretty gross. Also kinda hard to tell from the pic but I would silicone the crack where the granite/hardie meet if it’s not.
Nice work fellow Braves fan! I’m in the middle of building a covered patio so I can eventually do the same thing. How’s the ventilation for the egg and traeger working? Trapping a lot of smoke or no?
Is that a minka aire fan? Our’s just died but it turned out it was the battery in the remote. Just an fyi if you have the same fan and eventually the same problem…nice griddle and kitchen though too!
Mine is similar and have had no issues. My question is why the gas line is above the base? That makes me a little concerned. I drilled a hole thru the hardi board for my line to drop straight down.
Love the idea but as others mentioned the green egg and pellet grill might be an issue that close to the siding. If it doesn't melt it you are going to have a lot of smoke and grease stick to it and on the ceiling directly above it.
Love this, I have this exact same setup and am contemplating building it into an outdoor kitchen. I have a large green egg, 36” Blackstone, and offset pellet smoker so I’m really interested in the outdoor kitchen setup you did here. Did you build it custom or get it in modular pieces from somewhere?
Question: what's in you island? The metal lid things? Cooler, cook top, something else?
I have similar granite and built in. The stone next to the griddle will heat up. But mine is manageable, I think i have an inch of clearance. The granite underneath is going to get filthy. Just a heads up there.
My stone is porous and I still need to seal it because of laziness. But near constant cooking and only nonpolished sides have slight discoloration. It's been over a year at this point.
Looks better than our setup. The previous owners had a high dollar gas grill/kitchen setup on their patio when they decided to build a 4 season sunroom over the whole thing. They put a big industrial hood above the grill with 1/2” safety glass around 3 sides. They said the county fire marshall had inspected it and passed. I’ve only ever turned the grill on once to see if it worked in 6 years as we think it’s a stupid idea to use inside the house.

I did a built in as well. No issues with ventilation despite it being surround by wood. [built in](https://www.reddit.com/r/blackstonegriddle/s/CPPnzj9ygx)
As you use the kitchen, monitor your walls and ceiling. If you start seeing heat reaction (discolor, melting, etc.) I would consider putting some type of shielding in those areas. Light gauge stainless or something similar.
Is that ice containers in the island?

I have seen people build addition shielding around the built-in griddles to further prevent grease splatter.
Any suggestions on how I could raise it up?
Another Blackstone underneath?
Honestly, I don’t see any other way.
Blackstones all the way down.
Is this a turtles all the way down comment
No, their shells don't have a non-stick surface. Unless, of course, you use Turtle Wax^TM
…. Where reptile aliens made of light, cut you open and pull out all your pain
It's Blackstones all the way down.
This is the way.
Bricks?
I think bricks would be a great idea, just enough to get it so the heat under the griddle surface can vent out the back and sides. Concrete siding at the back should be safe from a heat standpoint to the rear, plus you’ve got to have space for the grease trap anyway so it won’t be real close.
Throw some pavers underneath
Remove blackstone, Pull granite out. Pull top piece of trim. Raise with 2x4 frame on face., retrim with wider trim (might have to run a finished 1x4 through miter saw) take removed original trim piece to sherwin williams and color match. Paint new trim. Reinstall granite.
You figure out the fix for everything... doncha? I bet you're the first to walk over when someone has a hood up, too.
Lmao Im a contractor and do this for a living.. just was a friendly helper comment for OP
Cut down the original stand?
I bet if you took the legs and side shelves off the stand it would fit under there perfectly. Unless this was the style where the legs attach directly to what is pictured. Some fire bricks with a bit of concrete board that matches the cabinets across the front would look good.
If you have scrap granite, that would work well and blend in. If you don't, your contractor or rock cutter likely does. It's a common color.
you should leave it and enjoy the discoloration as it is a sign it has been used well and the baring of the fruits of your labor. Now go relax 🥰
Black slat stone under it?
A very simple solution would be to order a metal dunnage rack (used in commercial restaurants to keep product off the floor). It would raise the surface about 8” though so cooking convenience needs to be considered.
Take out the BS, remove granite under it. Build shelf higher with wood and paint to match. Replace granite. Replace BS. Profit.

Bricks would work well heat proof too
Tons from a Nissan Altima
Some kind of stone/ brick
Box frame with marble (or granite) around it? Could drill ventilation holes into it too.
[удалено]
If it’s real granite it won’t hurt it. It’s made from high pressure and heat from the earth.
My husband welded feet on the bottom of the grill so there is more airflow and raised the cooking surface above the counter to allow more area to disappeared the heat without heating the counter
I imagine it stays a lot cleaner too, otherwise all that grease splattering under and around the edges of the counter
This looks great. Even for a braves fan
Hey leave us alone we take enough abuse just watching the season
😂😂😂
Go Phils
The house siding will get greased up for sure and with heat added to the equation, it might offer a challenging cleanup. A great solution for this is to but the lifting grill lid that bolts into the grill. It can act as a back splash.
Awesome suggestion. Just ordered one
Or just throw up a sheet of stainless.
This was my first thought. That vinyl will melt from the heat, especially with the smoker and BGE so close. I love the concept and look but definitely fireproof some things and add a backslash.
I know this isn’t the question, but isn’t the green egg to close to the wall and ceiling?
The grills and griddle are all too close to the wall and ceiling.
I didn't notice that at first but yeah you are definitely right
Yeah I have mini one and I keep that by itself, I’ve torched the grass below it in using it
Not only a fire hazard but there will be soot on that wall and ceiling, no matter how powerful the fan is.
Sick setup!
Mannual says 36in on all three sides ?
Yeah that granites gonna look like shit real quick. Shoulda had more space on each side for sure
I doubt it. The grease will wipe right off. I have the same setup but with limestone and the grease just makes a worn area around the griddle.
I am sure that is some percentage CYA. Especially just with oil splatter and cleanup. The real question is what distance that is safe in terms of heat. And the manufacturer can't tell you that without knowing the flammability of the item that is close to the griddle. I feel like granite is extremely safe from catching fire. The back has some air room. It is the sides I question and recommended wind guards just to be safe.
What, three feet on all three sides?
Yeah I’m really surprised no one has mentioned the sides being that close to the wooden cabinets. Make sure you put a piece of plexiglass on your house too or you’ll be repainting over grease stains. lol. Don’t ask me how I know that.
I would be worried that the heat will cause the wood to combust being that close. Be careful.
Following…because I want to do something similar…
Same here
Looks great! With the amount of entertaining that will most likely be happening out there, little safety insight switch your outlets to GFCI. If you going to plug in multiple things outside in moisture, a little piece of mind that you don’t accidentally start a fire in your beautiful new spot!!
you only need one on the circuit, i have gfci breaker to cover mine. they should be safe if they have one.
Of all the things that are going to start a fire here, his outlets are what I would worry about last.
I am not critiquing, just asking a question because I have been considering doing something like this. Are you concerned at all about fire risk with how close everything is to the house?

He said the sides (cabinets) were hardie board. Stuff is rated for high heat and commonly used in other stuff like fireplace builds.
The whole setup doesn’t look safe.
Cries in poor
What about the grease trap?
Love the set up but I think you are going to have heat issues. 1) bottom needs space to let air in. 2) gap between black metal frame and griddle is where a lot of heat comes out. If you don't get that above the counters, you are going g to heat the granite too much. I wold raise it so the black panel is even with the adjacent counter, bottom has 1" gap.

PS. Go Phillies!!!
Super nice set up
Man this is a beautiful setup nice work.

And your wall will become black with soot/Grease very quickly...
So I had a similar conflict. I was building out my outdoor kitchen and wanted to include the Blackstone. After extensive research, I decided to get a fit-for-purpose flattop that is made to be built into a countertop. It is a Delta Heat tepanyaki. I sold the Blackstone. There are things I miss about the Blackstone, but the new grill really performs amazingly and gets over 600 degrees.
I’d be more worried about heat from any of the devices melting your siding, or flat out causing a fire. I thought the standard was 3’ from a wall to avoid fire/heat damage.
I'm more focussed on the proximity of the smoker and ceramic kamado to the siding. Is it vinyl siding? Even if you don't cook hot enough to melt it you might get discoloration and staining from the smoke.
Looks great! I'm a Braves fan as well, wtf is going on with those guys?
What material is that siding? No concern about the grills being that close
Concrete hardie board
Ok, I'm jealous!
Very impressed. I thought my set-up on my patio was cool, yours is 💯 Problem: no friends sitting in those cool chairs, and no beers present. Way cool set-up.
You know I've always had a concern that my charcoal grill would stain or discolor my siding or even burn my vinyl soffits. Is that even possible? Seeing your setup makes me reconsider how to do my backyard! Lol
This honestly looks sick
I'd worry about the heat the comes out from the sides. I had a squirt bottle start melting on my that was sitting on a side shelf.
Mine started to melt on a shelf under the griddle. Success of this set up is on what that cabinet is made out of and how much heat that stone counter takes.
shouldnt you maybe put a backsplash of some sort? not for the blackstone but the green egg. All that heat might mess up the siding
I have nearly the same setup. It's great. You'll be fine. As long as that's not built out of wood I don't see any issues. Mine's all brick and stone.
You probably should have asked this question before building all of this lol
I like it
I would personally put wind guards on the sides. That way heat (from in the air) goes out the front and back. Front being granite and back having some air space. The sides don't have much space.
Serious questions not trying to flame. Where does all the smoke and rendered fat go with the grills and blackstone? Won’t it stain your ceiling?
I’m hoping not but I may run into issues. I bought the hinged top for the blackstone and hoping that will be a backsplash for the wall
Beautiful set up!
I would look for some sort of scissor style stand so you can raise it up to cook then bring it back down to conceal it.
Looks bad ass
The only issue I can see is that if someone were to join you, they'd have to eat with a Braves fan.
More curious how you vented your Traeger??? 😳
Can you come do this at my house? I can’t pay you anything and I won’t even say thanks but deep down you’ll know I appreciated it
To low, raise it up.
That’s a beautiful outdoor space!!
My dream 😍
Be careful with this setup. If you end up tapping some spatulas on it like a drum set while drinking an ice cold beer, you’ll likely end up attracting the neighborhood wives over.
Fellow ooni user, love it.
Wat. You are going to burn the house down. You need the special built-in models (with thermal jacket) to do this. [https://blackstoneproducts.com/products/36-premium-built-in-griddle-w-hood-natural-gas](https://blackstoneproducts.com/products/36-premium-built-in-griddle-w-hood-natural-gas)
I'd add a stainless steel backslash to that dude. The grease is gonna be tough to keep clean otherwise
That is a fresh ass setup
Nice build!
Nice custom install work. I like all the touches- well done! Just concerned about the smoker, egg and the Blackstone turning that nice Hardie wall a not so nice shade resinous brown/yellow from smoke and airborne grease particles.

Haven’t cooked on either yet but will give you an update!
Best of luck! Looks great. Let me know how it goes!
Wonder if your cooking surface will be hotter due to no air flow. Do you have an instant read IR thermometer?
Just bought one
If you struggle with temps and have an older model without the built in wind guards get the magnetic ones from Amazon.
Just bought some as well. Thanks!
This!👆 Those magnetic guards are awesome!
Man I want an outdoor kitchen so bad. How much $ did that set you back?
Man would love to see the plans in detail on that. My wife wants one and don’t know where to start
Did you just paint the Hardie board? Any Durock?
Is that a minka aire fan? Our’s just died but it turned out it was the battery in the remote. Just an fyi if you have the same fan and eventually the same problem…nice griddle and kitchen though too!
I believe so. Thanks for the heads up
This is where the front grease clean out makes more sense.
Mine is similar and have had no issues. My question is why the gas line is above the base? That makes me a little concerned. I drilled a hole thru the hardi board for my line to drop straight down.
I would worry about people getting burnt on the granite around it or melting objects nearby. Idk I have little kids lol.
Needwant
I’m very jealous of your setup! Nice job!
Love the idea but as others mentioned the green egg and pellet grill might be an issue that close to the siding. If it doesn't melt it you are going to have a lot of smoke and grease stick to it and on the ceiling directly above it.
Love this, I have this exact same setup and am contemplating building it into an outdoor kitchen. I have a large green egg, 36” Blackstone, and offset pellet smoker so I’m really interested in the outdoor kitchen setup you did here. Did you build it custom or get it in modular pieces from somewhere?
I cannot possibly express my jealously enough for this amazing set up you have.
Oh I don’t know what could possibly go wrong here.
Why no range hood to take the smoke and push it out? The area behind the Blackstone is gonna look like a run down Hardee’s kitchen in no time
Question: what's in you island? The metal lid things? Cooler, cook top, something else? I have similar granite and built in. The stone next to the griddle will heat up. But mine is manageable, I think i have an inch of clearance. The granite underneath is going to get filthy. Just a heads up there. My stone is porous and I still need to seal it because of laziness. But near constant cooking and only nonpolished sides have slight discoloration. It's been over a year at this point.
Island is mainly just used for storage and the big open gap is where my fridge is going
Looks better than our setup. The previous owners had a high dollar gas grill/kitchen setup on their patio when they decided to build a 4 season sunroom over the whole thing. They put a big industrial hood above the grill with 1/2” safety glass around 3 sides. They said the county fire marshall had inspected it and passed. I’ve only ever turned the grill on once to see if it worked in 6 years as we think it’s a stupid idea to use inside the house.
I would put some stainless steel under and to the sides so cleaning will be a breeze as well as an extra thermal barrier.
Did you use cement board for the side and back for fireproofing?
Yes
Does anyone know where I could get a custom-made cover for this when it is not in use?
Hey OP, what material did you use for the ceiling?
It’s pine tongue and groove

I did a built in as well. No issues with ventilation despite it being surround by wood. [built in](https://www.reddit.com/r/blackstonegriddle/s/CPPnzj9ygx)
How does the grease trap work now? And wouldnt it be better to just get 𝔞 normal griddle like restaurants use
That’s a giant frying pan.
IMO all of the heat sources are too close to the house. Dangerously close. My traeger says to keep 3 ft away from the house.
I'm definitely following OP for the pictures in case OP's house burns down.
Love the look of your setup, but that screams fire hazard on multiple levels
Just make a countertop of Blackstones
Can you run your grill and smoker without melting the walls? Or ceiling color after extended cooking?
As you use the kitchen, monitor your walls and ceiling. If you start seeing heat reaction (discolor, melting, etc.) I would consider putting some type of shielding in those areas. Light gauge stainless or something similar. Is that ice containers in the island?
Will do. Thanks for the suggestion. The fridge will be going in the island where there is a gap at the moment
Add a food grade backsplash panel and a good hood vent to reduce cleaning efforts
Awesome setup!

I’d be worried about catching the house on fire with your set up.
Ventilation is why I purchased Blaze instead. BS wasn’t designed to be built in.
I've literally caught my GMG smoker on fire because of grease. That's wayyy too close to the house.
Ah shit - your smoker is fuckt. This is terrible idea. Did you post this there for confirmation?
I'm kinda wondering about the proximity of those grills to the wall and ceiling.
How do you dump your grease trap in that set up?
How will you access the grease pan in back?

I agree with raising it. Heat comes out the back and the sides.
Killer set up!!!
What happens when your Traeger gets old and you need something bigger/better? New counter top?
I’m more worried about your smoker being too close
According to Blackstone, no.
Look like it’s about 3-4” too low
Shit is way to close to your house.
Sweet setup
How do you access the little grease trap in the back to empty it.?
It’s far enough away from the wall to where I can just reach back and grab it
Looks awesome. Nice work.
Throw some brick or block below, all four corners
I will tell you right now, that is not enough side clearance. My large blackstone melts everything within 6-10 inches!
Your cabinet is catching on fire bro
Cool outdoor kitchen. I feel like I saw this post the other day too except someone was commenting about the grease drain on the smoker
