I purchased a three cabinet set; this grill cabinet, the sink cabinet, and the drawer/2-door storage cabinet. They look better than the pictures on the NewAge website and packing and shipping were first-rate.
While I went budget (price-wise, the quality and finish and look of these cabinets is superb) for my kitchen, I splurged on a what I think is the best grill from an engineering perspective available. I went with a 27" model that leaves room to spare in this cabinet. I had natural gas run through the patio slab to where this cabinet would be. The plumber wanted some clearance to a retaining wall. I had to cut the back toe kick, part of the bottom of the cabinet, and the back to make room for the gas fittings. The grill top also requires 7" clearance behind it to open fully. With some careful measuring and planning, the cabinets are installed 5" out from the retaining wall and everything works. This cabinet comes with spacers that fill most of space between the 33" and my grill's 28". I thought of getting custom stainless steel spacers made, but the NewAge spacers look good and the space looks planned.
I did have concerns about the remaining rigidity of the cabinet after I made my cuts. It turned out there was no reason for my concerns as the cabinet is still very sturdy and rigid. Using natural gas, I have lots of storage space under the grill. I keep my cooking utensils (in case it gets hot) underneath.
I would definitely buy this set again. My wife had concerns with this being much more reasonably priced than any other option on how it would look. She is blown away and commented that it is both sleek and takes attention from my "ugly" smoker.
Thanks to NewAge for making a grill cabinet that works with their grills and are easily adaptable to other grill makes.
