Typical base installation for a wood deck

After assembling the base according to the assembly instructions, position the base assembly on your deck for anchoring.

CAUTION: Combustible materials should never be within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides of the barbecue. Do not locate under overhead combustible construction.

Note - With the lid open, the depth of the barbecue is 28 inches, front to back. After positioning, level the base. (See Step "Level the base.")

After leveling, anchor the base to the deck. We recommend using a minimum of a 3/8 inch x 1 1/2 inch lag bolt with a 3/8 inch flat washer. Figure 9.

Note - Use a 3/16 inch drill bit for drilling a pilot hole for a 3/8 inch lag bolt.

The Weber 5500 is a standout grill in the realm of outdoor cooking, combining innovative technology with user-friendly features that cater to both novice grillers and seasoned barbecue aficionados. Its construction is robust, making it a reliable companion for outdoor gatherings, family cookouts, or even just a weekend dinner. The grill is designed to deliver exceptional performance while ensuring ease of use and maintenance.

One of the main features of the Weber 5500 is its powerful burners, which provide high heat output and even cooking across the entire grilling surface.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the Weber 5500's built-in smoke box, which allows users to infuse their dishes with rich smoky flavors. This feature is perfect for those who enjoy the taste of smoked meats but may lack the space or equipment for a dedicated smoker.

Furthermore, the grill is designed with durability in mind. The high-quality materials used in its construction not only enhance its longevity but also ensure that it withstands the rigors of outdoor exposure. The rust-resistant finish promotes a clean and professional appearance, even after extended use.

The Weber 5500 also emphasizes safety, featuring heat-resistant handles and an integrated thermometer that enables users to monitor cooking temperatures without having to open the lid, thus preserving heat and preventing flare-ups.

In summary, the Weber 5500 is a powerful, versatile grill that incorporates modern technology, robust construction, and user-focused features.
