Venting Panels

What is an Outdoor Kitchen Gas Vent Panel?

BBQ island vent panels are constructed of 304-grade stainless steel to prevent rust and are very easy to install. The most important thing when installing gas vent panels into your outdoor kitchens is to consider placement. At companies like Bull BBQ, we place several vents in our outdoor kitchens to create a cross-flow of air. The rule of thumb is to place a vent panel every 6-feet in your outdoor kitchen space and to simply remember that too many vents are not a bad thing. Depending on the design of your outdoor kitchen this could be a set of vents on each side or a set on one side coupled with a set on the backside of the structure. Each side that the vents are placed on will have a vent for the top and bottom of that side. The same applies to the other side that has been designated for venting. If installed properly, this creates enough airflow so that the gas will safely escape the structure and not collect.

Benefits of BBQ Island Vent Panels

BBQ Island vent panels do a lot more than just regulate the gas airflow of the interior of your outdoor kitchen, they considerably help with the help of airflow in general. For instance, let's say that your outdoor kitchen project is near a beach or coastal climate. The salty atmosphere of that environment over a long period of time can be trapped in the interior of your bbq island cabinet and cause rust and could essentially decay the structure as a whole. With bbq island vents this air will no longer be trapped in the interior of the cabinet, and instead will be constantly flowed through the structure, preventing any chance that the atmosphere can decay the structure.

I'm not a fan of the way the vents 'look' isn't there something else?

At BBQGrills.com, we get asked this a lot, and it's perfectly understandable. While gas vent panels may not be the prettiest thing to put into your outdoor kitchen or BBQ Island, the truth is, they're safe. If you're looking for something that will help streamline the look and feel of your outdoor kitchen then we would recommend incorporating outdoor kitchen storage that features vents on the front of the door and drawer panels, this will help regulate the airflow in the interior of your cabinet all while maintaining a sleek and clean look.
