Thanks for all
the help while I was building in my top grill this past summer. I am
getting lots of compliments and everything comes out great on it. We
are covered in snow now, but I am still using the grill as often as
possible

| Brandt Ziegler sent along some photos of the construction of
his built-in Top Grill, starting with the demolition of his old built in charcoal unit and
turning it into little more than a pile of rocks. Then the decorative cinder blocks were
placed for the base of the Top Grill unit and tile was installed for the grill top. |
|
| The Top Grill 36 inch unit was simply placed in the opening
once the grill base was built. |
|
| Brandt writes, "This installation was done last spring as
part of a major back yard renovation that took us 18 months. It is a focal point of
the back yard now. All my friends and visitors (especially the guys) marvel at it when
they come over. We have cooked everything in it from simple hamburgers to steaks, 8
pound beef roasts, whole salmon, vegetables, and many other dishes. EVERYTHING has come
out perfectly!" "Thank you for an excellent product!" |
Black Rose Cantina
Look at this beautiful installation in Tom Watts back yard in Yorba Linda, California.
he calls it the Black Rose Cantina. |
|
| Tom wrote to us as he was building the little backyard
pavilion to house his new Top Grill build-in BBQ: writes: With the appearance of a
rough out dimension of 5 feet in the structure to be called the Black Rose Cantina, it is
quite apparent that there is something more than the typically purchased California
barbecue to be installed in the Watts Family backyard. There is a certain rumbling out
here on the West Coast which is not associated with geologic phenomena, but, instead with
the whispers of the neighborhood in nervous speculation of the future. The tension is
deep. Impromptu debates over the merits of stainless steel can be heard. Women and
children avert their gaze when passing the gaping 5 foot void as if to believe that it is
not there. There are rumors of heresy and breaking ranks with the turbo-master
at barbecues galore.
Mayor John Gullixson has called for a full scale city investigation into the
dimension of the rough out with owner Tom Watts refusing comment on constitutional
grounds.
Here's the interior view, showing the painted ceiling of the Black Rose Cantina
in Tom's back yard. |

style." |
Rob had fun
Rob Vojvoda of Cramerton, NC writes to tell us he had a lot
of fun building in his BMK-36-BI Topgrill. "And it's
getting a lot of use too!" he adds.

 |
| Here's the rustic look of the Hewett's built in Top Grill on its own
cooking island. They tell us "We're really enjoying our new Iron Works Grill
tremendously." |
|
 |
| This built-in grill belongs to Dennis Johnson of Gergery,
Michigan. The 8 foot island holds a 36 inch grill. It is faced in red brick with grey
semi-gloss ceramic tile and it is trimmed in clear cedar. |
 |
 |
| Here are a couple photos of a custom made Top Grill installed
in an existing island in Cortland, Ohio. Burnett Pools Inc. called The Iron Works because
the installation was made for one of those cheaper "lifetime guarantee" grills
that just didn't last. No one but the Iron Works seemed willing to take on the challenge
of building a custom grill to fit the existing opening. If you have a similar problem
with an existing situation, let us know and we'll tell you what we can do to help! |
 |
 |
| Dennis Fegan of Houston had an old brick BBQ that was in
desperate need of repair. He carefully measured the existing opening and look what the
Iron Works came up with! |
|
 |
| Here's Jerry Carota's new built in OCB-24-BI at his home in San
Diego, Ca. It just goes to show that you don't have to spend a lot of money to create a
masterpiece in your back yard. |
 |
| Here's the 96" Long Island cooking center. The grill is a BMK-36
with a built in side burner, fueled by natural gas. There are two 20" by 24"
storage doors for access to the interior cabinet. The cabinet is finished in antique white
stucco with forest green glazed tile. The cabinet has stainless steel air circulation
screens and interior gas connections. You can choose stucco or your
choice of stone. This Top Grill from the Iron Works was custom built for James Kasko
of Michigan, James is the owner of Opus I,m the world famous gourmet restaurant in
Detroit. |
 |
