Grill is great. Main burners register at around 975 deg on full after 10 min. The zone dividers work well to keep the heat separated. Rotis is a little noisy. there's a learning curve to Low heat cooking and smoking and take some time to adjust the right balance. Haven't tried the side burner...

The trex board is merely a way to elevate the bottom of the island off the ground so the steel stud does not come into contact with the ground and any water. Some people use trex 4" x 4" feet, other use a strip all the way along the bottom perimeter. I see no reason you could not use a trex...

What length of stainless rivets are recommended for steel stud construction and what type (blind rivets ?, button head?, domed?, countersunk?) and shank size? Grainger has .525", .337". .650" all 1/8" shank, button head. Also, any reason to go to 3/16" or larger shank? THX.

What size, length and type of stainless rivets do you recommend?

THX DrDave. How far apart would you suggest I place trex supports on the bottom track? Under each vertical stud/ between the studs? I am using 20guage stud should I be concerned about the bottom track flexing between trex support?

Saw this thread and thought I would ask a few questions here. I am building a 10' straight island here in the Great White North, Canada. Firstly, I am building on a concrete pad and the pad slopes 3 1/2" in the 10' span and also slopes away from the house about an inch over a 3' span. So as you...

Thanks for your input. I decided not to get the sear burner for now. I could add/ retrofit it later or even put in a side IR burner later.

Hello all, Great forum and very informative. I am going to order a new Fire Magic Echelon 36" model on cart. It has 3 main burners (75,000 btu's), 1 IR rotis burner and a smoker burner. I can switch out one of the main burners for an IR burner for FREE. I am on the fence as too whether get the...
