Insulated Grill Jackets | Lion BBQ Direct

Insulated grill jackets are heat-shield accessories designed to protect outdoor kitchen island structures when installing built-in gas grills. These jackets create a thermal barrier around the grill firebox, helping reduce heat transfer into combustible island materials and supporting a safer, more compliant installation.

At Lion BBQ Direct, we offer insulated grill jackets sized to fit specific Lion built-in grills. These jackets are built with outdoor-rated materials and engineered to work with Lion Premium Grills and outdoor kitchen islands.

What an Insulated Grill Jacket Does

When you install a built-in gas grill into an island, heat from the grill can radiate into surrounding materials. An insulated grill jacket:

• Helps slow heat transfer to adjacent cabinetry

• Protects combustible framing and finishes

• Meets manufacturer and building code heat-shielding requirements

• Supports a safer, longer lasting outdoor kitchen installation

These jackets are especially important when your island structure includes wood, composite, or other materials that can be affected by prolonged heat exposure.

How Insulated Grill Jackets Work

Insulated grill jackets typically include:

• Heat-resistant insulation — slows conduction

• Stainless steel outer panels — durable and corrosion-resistant

• Model-specific fit — matched to the firebox of Lion grills

They install between the grill body and the island cut-out, allowing the grill to be supported while keeping surrounding materials protected.

Selecting the Correct Jacket for Your Grill

Insulated grill jackets must match the grill model and size. When choosing a jacket:

• Confirm the width matches your grill’s built-in cut-out

• Verify it is designed for your specific Lion built-in model

• Ensure depth and clearances are compatible with your island design

Using an incorrect jacket can interfere with ventilation and installation quality.

Built-In Installation Considerations

Insulated grill jackets are used during built-in installation and should be:

• Installed before finishing island exterior materials

• Mounted with proper clearances outlined in the grill’s installation guide

• Used with adequate ventilation to allow airflow behind the grill

Following manufacturer installation instructions is essential for safe, long-term use.

Materials & Outdoor Durability

Lion insulated grill jackets are engineered for outdoor kitchens with:

• Stainless steel exterior — rust-resistant and durable

• Outdoor-rated insulation materials

• Fit and finish that complements Lion built-in grills

These features help ensure your outdoor kitchen remains protected and visually cohesive.
