Ultimate FAQ Guide to Stainless Steel BBQ Cabinets

What Are Some Advantages And Disadvantages Of Stainless Steel For BBQ Cabinets?

Stainless steel is one of the most resistant materials out there.

It protects from all sorts of conditions like high heat, constant humidity, impact, and some chemicals.         

Stainless steel also does not corrode, unless under harsh chemicals like bleach, acids, and bases.

 Stainless steel BBQ cabinet

Besides this, stainless steel—like most metals—is non-porous.

Thus, bacteria and toxins will not get absorbed and proliferate in the material.

This is why stainless steel is especially great for food applications.

Stainless steel can also be recycled, so you can always recycle your old BBQ cabinet in an environmentally friendly way.

On the other hand, stainless steel may not be for you if you worry about scratches or fingerprints, since stainless steel will show these.

Although, these will be less visible depending on the finish you choose.

Furthermore, stainless steel is also more expensive than most other materials.

This is why it is better to order stainless steel BBQ cabinets from China—and KDM—for a cheaper price and good quality.

Stainless steel is also susceptible to tea-staining, which is a rust-looking change in the colour of stainless steel.

 Tea-staining

Smoke, salt, heat, and harsh water can all discolour your stainless steel BBQ cabinet.

But, this does not change the lifetime of your BBQ cabinet.

Thus, our stainless steel BBQ cabinet is a reliable investment and will serve you for a long time.

What Configuration Features Can Stainless Steel BBQ Cabinets Include?

Stainless steel BBQ cabinets can have a sink, an icebox, a refrigerator, a trash can, a worktop, burners, smokers, bartending units, grills, cooktops, hoods, and smoke tubes.

Sinks are useful to wash plates after the BBQ, or vegetables that will be barbecued.

The sink can be either cutout, or integrated, while the drying surface is a plate with grooves.

You can use the drying surface for food or for plates and cutlery.

An icebox is a compartment that contains ice and could be used to keep seafood fresh, as well as to chill drinks.

A refrigerator, on the contrary, is a fridge compartment with regular cooling, and it can be used to store meat and vegetables, as well as sauces.

A trash can compartment is a great addition to a BBQ cabinet because you can easily throw out burnt pieces or pieces of packaging.

A worktop is a very useful thing.

You can prepare food on them, and use them for anything as a general surface.

They can be regular or foldable at the sides for ease of storage.

The folding action is done with foldable holders that can be clicked into place to support the weight of the table, and clicked back into folding.

Plus, the work surface can be made with stone slabs, granite, or marble for decoration.

Burners are the inside parts of a BBQ that are the fuel source that heat up and let you cook.

There are different types of BBQ burners, which may also be from stainless steel.

Besides burners, there can be wood fire fuel as well.

Smokers are used for cooking at low temperatures in a controlled, smoky environment for the smoking of food.

  BBQ smoker

Usually, they keep temperature at 225 degrees F, or 110 degrees C.

Bartending units usually have small sinks, iceboxes, multiple shelves and compartments for syrups and drinks, as small work surfaces.

They make preparing drinks to go with BBQ easier, thus creating a complete mini-kitchen.

Stainless steel BBQ bartending unit

A grill is the heart of any BBQ cabinet; it is where the food gets cooked.

It is usually made from a grille and a pit underneath the grille, which has the fuel source.

Cooktops can be grills, but they also can be hot plates or electric grills as well.

BBQ cabinet cooktops

The hood is the top part of the BBQ cabinet, which can be closed when the grill is not used, or when the food is smoking inside.

The hoods can be of any shape, but they must be convex.

They also can be held on hinges or on a sliding mechanism.

Plus, the hood can have a thermometer built in, letting the user see what temperature it is inside the grill.

The hood can have a double-walled design to retain heat better and keep the outer side cool to the touch.

The thermometer can show temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Windows from tempered glass can also be integrated with the hoods.

Smoke tubes are like chimneys, used to lead out excess smoke, so it does not poison the food or explode.

These may also have an anti-rain hood.

Besides these features, you can create a modular design with various doors, drawers, hanging rods, baskets, lights, upstands, vented sides, casters, handles, and legs.

Doors cover various compartments of the BBQ cabinet.

You can learn more about them in the next question.

Baskets consist of a bottom part and the sides, which can be solid or grille.

Cabinet with basket

Usually, various tall and frequently used objects like bottles are placed in these.

Also, these are usually installed on the sides of the stainless steel BBQ cabinet.

Halogen lights can be installed on the inside of the grill to provide enough lighting to cook safely.

Hanging rods or hooks are very useful to hang towels and cloths onto.

An upstand is the higher part of a worktop, cabinet, or any working surface.

 Stainless steel upstand

This part slightly protrudes beyond the depth of the main cabinet.

They also protect the back of the BBQ cabinet from splashes and grease.

We can manufacture sets of drawers that can be used for tools, cutlery, seasoning, and anything else that you need.

The drawers can slide out or be pulled down to open.

 Stainless steel drawers

Casters are small wheels on the bottom of your BBQ cabinet.

We offer two-wheeled cabinets and other designs as well.

The casters can be big or small, and they can be different on a single cabinet.

Casters also have different configurations, such as swivel casters, rigid casters, plate casters, locking casters, stem casters, hollow kingpin casters, even pneumatic casters.

  Stainless steel BBQ cabinet casters

Casters can, furthermore, have breaks, and be made from different materials like polyurethane, steel, and rubber.

PU plate casters are often used for stainless steel BBQ cabinets.

Thus, you can even use your BBQ cabinet as a trolley and a portable storage, moving it anywhere around the garden or venue.

Besides casters, we can manufacture industrial cabinets on legs on pedestals, with regular or adjustable feet.

Vented sides are important for safety, and you can find out why in a question below.

Handles can be used on drawers and doors, and they can be of any design.

Similarly, turning knobs for the grill can be of any design, although they are usually circular for ease of use.

Our BBQ cabinets are modular and versatile, combining BBQ grills with many other features and appliances to create the perfect cabinet and outdoor kitchen for you.

Can There Be Corner Stainless Steel BBQ Cabinets?

Absolutely!

The frame does not need to linear for long modular BBQ cabinets.

The frames can be cabinets that turn 90 degrees, more, or less.

The cabinet can even have a linear middle and turned ends, so the structure presents a “П” shape.

Whatever fits the outdoor or indoor space you want the cabinet for, that shape shall be.

What Types Of Doors Can Stainless Steel BBQ Cabinets Have?

The doors can be single or double, and also of any size.

Additionally, the doors can open horizontally, or they can have a suspending mechanism to open vertically.

If you want, the compartments can even be made to slide out on tracks, in which case the door is wheeled outwards.

Sliding doors are basically panels on tracks that can move to the side.

They have a static and a mobile component.

These doors also save a lot of space if they are double doors—the sliding door then overlaps the stationary door.

Our modular stainless steel BBQ cabinets have this option.

   Sliding stainless steel doors

As a bonus feature, the doors can be equipped with cam locks or door magnets that will keep the door closed.

What Is An Insert BBQ Grill Cabinet?

An insert BBQ grill cabinet is a cabinet with 2-3 walls on the sides and inner compartments.

The grill is then installed between the 2-3 walls.

This way, the whole thing is more versatile and mobile.

And also, if you need to change the grill, or already have one, then you do not need to purchase a whole new cabinet or throw out a grill.

Why Have Vents In An Outdoor Stainless Steel BBQ Cabinet?

Two sets of vents are placed on at least two sides of the BBQ cabinet.

Depending on the design of the cabinet, this could be a set of vents on each side, or a set of vents on one side coupled with a set of vents on the backside of the cabinet.

Each side that the vents are placed on will have a vent for the top and bottom of that side, meaning that there are at least 2 vents on each side, and at least 4 vents overall.

Vents are necessary because propane is heavier than oxygen making it more susceptible to collecting in places without air flow.

Natural Gas can also build up, although it is lighter than oxygen.

These types of gases can collect in confined areas within the cabinet as the grill is working.

Thus, to avoid danger, a BBQ cabinet should be vented correctly to allow these gasses to safely escape.

What Handles Can Stainless Steel BBQ Cabinets Have?

There can be various pull handles, knobs, and recessed handles.

Pull handles can be curved, straight, edged, or smooth

They are also ergonomic and provide more creative freedom, as the curves can be designed in many ways.

Furthermore, door handles can have smooth edges, as in round straight handles, or the edges can be sharp.

Round and smooth stainless steel cabinet handles

Sharp edges create a futuristic look, but are not very comfortable to hold onto.

Stainless steel handles with sharp edges

There also are knobs, which are common for small drawers.

These can be circular or square, with flat caps or concave.

We also offer sliding door stainless steel handles, which are flush handles with a recessed surface that you can grip onto.

Such stainless steel handles are great for sliding doors.

Plus, the edges can have decorative effects, like contrasting finishes and grooves.

 Handle with decorations

The handles can be installed vertically or horizontally.

What Turning Knobs Can Stainless Steel BBQ Cabinets Have?

Turning knobs help control the fuel and thus the temperature of the grill.

Turning knobs are usually circular, and they can be flat, convex, or have a notch for fingers on top.

This depends on your design and what aesthetics you want to achieve.

Turning knobs need to have words and signs silk-screened on them to show at least “off”, “on”, “high”, “low”.

Plus, there can be PVC ridges along the sides to provide a non-slip grippable surface.

The design can get more creative with LED lights that will light up in the dark, if you or your personnel need to cook in the evenings or very early mornings.

Of course, the turning knobs do not have to be made from stainless steel.

They can be made from PVC or PU as well, to lower manufacturing expenses and create an easy non-slip surface.

What Fuel Can Stainless Steel BBQ Cabinets Work On?

Stainless steel BBQ cabinets can work from fuel sources that include electricity, propane, natural gas, wood, charcoal, infrared, and wooden pellets.

Electric grills use hot plates and do not need certain extra features.

Propane and natural gas grills are quite common.

They require barrels of gas, and adequate ventilation.

Gas BBQ grill

Charcoal grills have pits where the charcoal lays.

Gas fuel creates more steam, whereas charcoal grants meat a more traditional flavour.

Infrared is an intense high-heat burner that reaches high temperatures from a—usually—ceramic plate that sits on top of the burner.

But they work from gas.

Wood and pellet grills have holders on the sides, which have the fuel and feed it into the fire.

What Cooktops Are Available For Stainless Steel BBQ Cabinets?

There can be different shapes of cooktops.

That is, besides the cooktops that go with different fuel types.

There can be linear grills, patterned grills, and sheet grills.

Sheet grills are used to make pancakes, eggs, or meat.

It is a completely flat surface.

Patterned grills can be of any pattern, and they are typically used as additional grills, not main ones.

 Patterned, linear, and sheet grill cooktops

They can be used for specialized foods.

Linear grills can be just bar grilles, or they can be sheets with grooves

Usually, bar grilles are for wood and charcoal fuel, whereas sheets with linear grooves are used for electric grills.

 Different linear cooktops

Plus, there can be stainless steel BBQ cabinets with several different cooktops integrated.

This is done for commercial or professional BBQ cabinets.

This allows several cooks to make food, or for one cook to make different kinds of grilled dishes.

Are Grills In Stainless Steel BBQ Cabinets Also Stainless Steel?

Grills do not have to be stainless steel, as they can be from ceramic, porcelain-enameled, or cast-iron.

Cast-iron is more prone to corrosion than stainless steel, but it gets hot quicker.

Ceramic and porcelain-enameled grills retain heat well and are less corrosion-prone than cast-iron.

What Grade Of Stainless Steel Are BBQ Cabinets Made Of?

Stainless steel is made by adding chromium, nickel, and molybdenum in different proportions to the iron-carbon alloy.

Steel grades differ in the content of all these additives.

Stainless steel BBQ cabinets can be made with steel grades 304, 304L, 316, and 316L.

316 stainless steel protects the best against salt spray, certain acids, and high temperatures because of its higher concentration of molybdenum.

Stainless steel sheets

Thus, grade 316 is really good for kitchen equipment and BBQ cabinets

because it is so corrosion- and heat-resistant.

Grade 304 has similar characteristics, but slightly less so.

It is also cheaper and more common in general use.

Grades 316L and 304L have a lower carbon content, making them a little bit stronger.

However, these types of steel are not very frequently used on the general market.

What Finishes And Coatings Can I Request For Stainless Steel BBQ Cabinets?

You can request various polishes like satin, brushed, mirror, and many more.

Satin polish is an abrasive polish that uses aluminum oxide as the abrasive substance.

This finish produces a fairly smooth surface.

There is also brushed finish, which shows lines and is rougher to the touch.

This finish can also be referred to as “hairline”.

Although, grease can get deposited in these tiny grooves.

However, brushed polish does not show scratches and fingerprints.

 Brushed vs satin polish

Mirror polish is a very smooth mirror surface.

It is easier to clean, but any scratches and fingerprints are very prominent on such a surface.

Mirror finish

Antique matte gives the metal surface a very soft look.

It guards against fingerprints and has a grainy texture.

Antique matte finish

Vibration polish is basically brushed polish, but the lines are non-directional.

Such polish reflects the light in an interesting way, looking expensive.

It also protects from fingerprints.

Ring polish creates a ring-like pattern on the surface, which looks futuristic.

Ring polish

Also, there are pattern embossments, which can be of any shape: square, teardrop, circle, etc.

These embossments provide an industrial look, which can be atmospheric for commercial BBQ cafes and restaurants.

Embossed stainless steel surface

Similarly, you can request an engraved pattern.

Engraving a stainless steel door handle or backplate/rose produces elegant and aesthetic results.

Usually, about 0.005 inches or 0.010 inches of metal is removed from the surface.

Once the metal has been removed, it is filled in with epoxy paint of any color to match your requirements.

Depending on the pattern, the handle can look vintage or futuristic.

To paint a stainless steel BBQ cabinet, powder coating can be used.

Powder coating is when powder paint is electrostatically sprayed onto a metal surface.

Powder coating

We can also paint it according to your colour swatch, Pantone, RGB, or RAL colour request.

You can also request different decorative coatings that add colour to stainless steel.

Such coatings are usually coloured metals that are electroplated on top of stainless steel.

Electroplating is a process that involves passing an electrical current through 2 metals, where one metal takes ions from the other metal.

As a result, one metal gets coating with another, while the other corrodes.

Stainless steel can be electroplated with various metals.

You can request brass, bronze, or gold for a yellow, orange, or warm brown colour.

Copper goes for reddish and pink colours.

Chrome, nickel, cadmium, and pewter give cool-toned silvers and greys.
