Thread: Weber BBQ cabinet design required

I would be keeping the gas bottle on the outside of the cabinet. They are not supposed to be kept in an enclosure. The exception is mobile homes and then the enclosure vents to the outside.

Cheers

Thanks Tom, I was unaware of this requirement. Bit more thinking required

Parially enclosed gas bottle is doable, but the compartment needs to be well ventilated, particularly downward as gas is heavier than air and will sink to ground level.
You would be OK using slats with 10mm gaps for the bottom of the bottle compartment and the two sides. This would allow a solid back and front access door to match the rest of the front and back panels for drawers, slides etc. The side extensions would be away from the sides by a small amount 25mm + to allow air circulation to the bottle compartment.

Re hose and drawers, allow extra depth in the carcase so that the hose can fit between the drawer backs and the carcase back. It might be better to make a sealed compartment for the drawers etc to limit insect access as much as possible.

For a top, I would suggest ceramic tiles etc as being easiest to clean and least prone to fat penetration. Install a tile underlay substrate and glue them to that then grout.

Rest would be a custom design to suit the BBQ, gas connection, storage required etc.
