Compare built-in pellet grill configurations

• recteq E-Series 1300 RT-1300ES: the newer model with a color control screen. The separately listed RT-1300BI is the previous generation; confirm which model your island is being designed for.
• Yoder YS640S-BI left hopper or YS640S-BI right hopper: choose the hopper side to match your access layout. These built-in configurations do not include a cart or stand.
• Coyote C2P28 28-inch built-in pellet grill: compare the exact model and installation requirements, not just the nominal width.
• Twin Eagles TEPG36G 36-inch pellet grill: review the selected rotisserie configuration and included equipment.
• Pitts & Spitts 35-inch built-in pellet grill: check the linked manufacturer cutout drawing and installation instructions before construction; the storage drawer is sold separately.

Plan the installation around the exact model

Review the manufacturer’s installation guide before choosing an island opening. Check cutout dimensions, required clearances, electrical access, hopper access and the space needed to remove ash and service the grill. Nominal grill width is not a substitute for the specified cutout.

Product pages identify model numbers and configurations, including left- and right-hopper Yoder options. For other setups, explore the full pellet grill and smoker collection.

Built-in pellet grill questions

Can a freestanding pellet grill be installed in an island?

Do not assume a freestanding grill is suitable for an enclosure. Choose a manufacturer-approved built-in model or configuration, and follow its installation instructions for ventilation, clearances and service access. Removing a cart does not make a grill safe to build in.

Does a built-in pellet grill need a gas line?

These wood pellet grills burn cooking pellets rather than propane or natural gas. They also need electrical power for their controls and pellet-feed system. Plan the power connection and weather protection according to the exact model’s installation manual before building the island.
