Recommended concrete pad requirements
We recommend a pad a minimum of 40 inches left to right, 20 inches front to back and 4 inches deep (1.85 cubic feet). Figure 4.
Note - Cubic feet is determined by multiplying length times width times depth and dividing by 1728.

If you use a concrete bag mix, use the mix for maximum strength. An average 80 pound bag of concrete mix will make approximately 2/3 of a cubic foot of concrete.
Note - Follow the concrete bag mix, manufacturers recommendations concerning pad preparation, gravel, sand, etc. Figure 5.

CAUTION: Allow fresh concrete to cure completely before attempting to anchor the barbecue to the concrete.
Typical installation of the base for an existing concrete patio or a new pad
After assembling the base (see Steps 2 and 3), position the base assembly on your concrete patio for mounting.
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 concrete patio or pad. For anchoring, we recommend use of one of the following methods:
WARNING: Whichever method used, the base must be bolted down (anchored) at ALL four anchoring points prior to barbecue assembly.
Method 1
A strike anchor, a minimum size of 3/8 inch x 3 1/2 inches long with a 3/8 inch flat washer and 3/8 inch nut.
Figure 6.
Note - Use a 3/8 inch diameter concrete drill bit for drilling the hole for the strike anchor.
