Do You Have To Assemble Mont Alpi BBQ Islands?
Mont Alpi outdoor kitchens are modular and designed for minimal assembly - most of the heavy lifting has been done for you before your product arrives.
Each module arrives fully assembled. You'll need to unpack your crates, then simply connect your modules to one another. After that, you need to connect your fuel and plug the island in to a standard 120V outlet. That's it!
While those steps sound simple, these are still quite heavy and bulky items. The manufacturer strongly recommends a minimum of 2 people to unpack and set up the modules.
What Are The Electrical Requirements?
The main grill module plugs into one (1) standard 120V outlet for grill lights.
An additional 120V outlet is required to plug in each additional refrigerator or kegerator in your BBQ island. A dedicated circuit for refrigeration units is best for performance.
Are Mont Alpi Grills Propane Or Natural Gas?
All Mont Alpi Grills & BBQ Islands ship as propane grills - however, a conversion kit for natural gas is included available with every purchase. We highly recommend you have a licensed professional install the conversion kit.
What's The Difference Between Mont Alpi 805 And 805 Deluxe Islands?
Mont Alpi's stainless steel 805 BBQ Island is offered in an original series and a deluxe series.
The biggest difference between the two is that the Deluxe version has cascading granite down the sides of the end module pieces. The deluxe islands also come with a heavy duty rotisserie kit and a cover for the island.
Original series islands do not come with a rotisserie kit or a cover - but these are available at an extra cost. Instead of cascading granite down the sides, the original series islands have stainless steel finishes on the side.
Can I Rearrange The Modules In a Different Arrangement Than What Is Pictured?
Yes and no. Mont Alpi BBQ Islands are modular by design, so you can mix and match your configuration to a large extent. With that being said, there are some limitations.
Can The Side Burner Module Go On The Right Of The Main Grill?
The side burner cabinet module is designed to be the left end piece - so if you order the stainless steel Deluxe island, that would mean you have cascading granite going down the left side of the side burner cabinet.
It just looks a little off when placed to the right side of the grill! Since the original (non-deluxe) edition of the stainless steel 805 BBQ Island doesn't have cascading granite, it's possible to place the side burner on the right as in the photo below. Same goes for the black stainless steel 805 Island.
Please note, you may need to purchase a longer gas hose to accomodate this set up.
Can I Put A Beverage Center Module On The End Of My Island?
Yes, you can have your BBQ Island end with a beverage center module on the right side. However, there are a couple of points to bear in mind with this.
First, the right end of the beverage center module does not have cascading faux granite like the regular right end cabinet module. Aesthetically it doesn't make a huge difference on the original & black stainless steel islands - but it can look asymmetrical on the deluxe islands.
Second, we cannot remove the right end piece from your shipment. Due to the way the islands are packaged, it is not possible to remove the right end cabinet module before shipping. So if you don't plan to use the right end cabinet, you will need to hold on to it or dispose of it yourself.
