Oh, don't worry, I am going to hire someone to assemble it.
Actually, mr. naa could probably do it, but I'd prefer to have one of the grill @#%%% set it up. I will call them to see if they can do it without the side burner, CBR. I am assuming that if they can't, I can disassemble it pretty easily. Do you really think I need to swap out the t connector? Couldn't I just cap the part heading out to the burner? |

You're spending $2500 on a grill that has a rotisserie and a side burner that you'll likely never use and keeps it from fitting on your deck? Why
don't you get a grill without a side burner/rotisserie attachment that will actually better suit your needs and actually fit?

Well, if you can find me a six-burner grill without useless attachments I am all for it. I think that was question 2 in the original post. :)
The only frill of this one that I like is the dedicated smoker box, although there are tons of low-tech solutions for that obviously. |

Go to lowes with th measurments of your space that the grill will go in. then pick out a good one, they have a ton of them pre assembled.
BTW I have the house gas line tapped to my built in GrillMaster on the back porch. I never run out of gas. |

Take the railing off that portion of your deck.

I think reconfiguring the deck is right out, but I like the way you think!
Maybe I should just do the Weber 4 burner and call it a day. It won't be ideal for the type/volume of cooking I do, but whatever. It'll be better than what I have now. |

ok, so now I'm thinking the E-620 instead. It doesn't have the rotisserie so the work area is just that, a work area. Should be totally fine not to
install. And then I keep the burner so I don't monkey with the gas, which is also fine. I lose the dedicated smoker box, but (a) I pick up more work area
and (b) the low tech cast iron smoker box works just fine. So, I think that is a winner.

I didn't see any gas connections in the provided diagram.
I see no problem whatsoever with aburigging something up. Would you want to use that burner somewhere else? I think all you'd need is more hose (he he). I'm gonna eat some breakfast & I'll come back, find the connection diagram & get ya all set up. eta: This is our grill for a family of three: 
I made some modifications the day I bought it. WTF cares about the warranty?

I do have to say that the flavor of grilling on good old fashioned hardwood charcoal far surpasses that of gas grilling.

The flavor of grilling on charcoal does not surpass that of a gas grille with a cast iron smoker box full of mesquite wood chips.
Unless you're referring to the flavor of lighter fluid, in which case, I can't argue that. |

"I've run a propane line directly to it,"
Propane or natural gas? |

we "accidentally" bought a natural gas jenn air grill and the Mr had to run a line to it. fortunately, about two years prior to that, he'd
removed a gas wall heater in the bathroom and capped off that line, so all he had to do was run a line to the outside.
we also have a propane converter in case a hurrican hits and there is no gas. I love that grill and the side burner |

Interesting.
en, the way I see it is you can put that side burner anywhere you fuckin' want. All you need is a longer hose. Any plumber or mechanical contractor can fabricate that pretty easily. I hope I have solved your problem and now I am going to close the seven Weber tabs I have open & enjoy the one beautiful day we get here every year. Ciao |

Propane, Ned. Whole house is heated with it.
And you did, thank you. |
