{"product_id":"firefly-72-grill-island","title":"Firefly 72\" Grill Island","description":"Your 72\" Grill Island — Customizable, Ready to Assemble, Made to Last\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 72-inch grill island is where the evening lives. It's not decoration. It's the reason everybody comes outside and nobody leaves early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the centerpiece that turns a yard into a gathering place. Six feet of counter space, a grill that works, storage that holds things, and a footprint that says yes to dinner outside, yes to drinks at sunset, yes to staying out here longer than you planned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePre-assembled aluminum frame. The hard part is done. Blaze burner already installed and tested. Your job: level ground, maybe finish it the way you want it, hook up gas, light it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe structure lasts.\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum doesn't rust the way steel does. Wood cladding options add warmth without the rot risk of solid wood. Ten years from now, this still works the way it did the day you lit it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCounter space that's real.\u003c\/strong\u003e Seventy-two inches gives you room for prep, plate staging, a drink, and somebody's plate who wandered over. Not cramped. Not a toy. Actual working outdoor kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlaze grill built in.\u003c\/strong\u003e The burner is commercial-grade. It throws real heat. The control knobs work like they should. It lights every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustomizable finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum frame is the bones. You choose what goes on top. Stucco. Stainless steel. Stone. Tile. Wood cladding. Whatever your patio needs. Not \"pick from our five colors.\" Pick what fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage that works.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabinet underneath. Shelves for grilling tools. Space to keep things you use. Built-in, not bolted-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Takes Real Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFreight is a separate cost. Delivery is not free and it is not included in the price. Checkout does not collect it only because we do not know your address until you order, and a crate this size gets priced address by address. We quote the real freight for where you live, send it as its own invoice, and it is paid before your grill island leaves the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLevel ground is non-negotiable. Concrete pad or solid pavers. If your yard is sloped or soft, that's your prep work. Get it wrong and the grill won't level, doors won't close right, and you have problems. Plan for site work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAssembly takes time if you're doing it yourself. Leveling, bolting things together, running gas lines — figure a full day plus a professional gas hookup. If you're hiring it out, that's money on top of the purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGas connection is a pro job. Don't improvise this. You want it set right, tested, and certified. The grill cost doesn't include installation. Budget for that separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinishing it (if you want stucco or custom veneer) is on you or a contractor. The aluminum frame ships ready. The finish is your project. That can be as cheap as paint or as involved as tile work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72\" W × [depth varies by configuration] × [height with counter]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum frame with Blaze burner, professional-grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum (corrosion-resistant, lightweight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountertop options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel (standard) or upgrade to granite\/marble\/concrete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stucco, wood cladding, stainless, stone, tile, brick (customer-installed or contracted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blaze professional-grade burner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enclosed cabinet with adjustable shelves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors\/finishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum frame available in powder-coat options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited warranty (frame and burner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8 hours (professional installation recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 72 Inches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeventy-two inches is the gathering size. Four people can work on it at once. Six people can crowd around it. It's big enough to be useful, not so big that your whole yard is island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're cooking for two and want compact, we have smaller. If you need a full outdoor kitchen setup with sink and chilling, we have expandable options. But 72 inches? That's the sweet spot for a family that actually uses it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHonest About Lead Time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are built to order. Our orders have averaged about two to three months from order to shipped. That's an average, not a promise — the factory's backlog changes, and yours could be faster or slower. Call or text and we'll give you today's real number instead of the promise that's easier to make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLong enough to get your pad poured, think through the finish you want, and start planning what you're grilling first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuyer Questions We Hear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I add more features after I buy it?\u003c\/strong\u003e — Yes. The island is modular. Add a side burner, a chiller, a pizza oven — most attach to the frame. Design it in phases if you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e — Yes, eventually. It'll handle the weather, but a cover extends everything's life significantly. We recommend one. Add it to your first order or later, your call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish should I pick?\u003c\/strong\u003e — Depends on your patio. Stucco is quick and affordable. Stone looks premium and lasts forever. Wood cladding adds warmth (and requires resealing every couple years). See what your neighbors have and what fits your house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this in a cold climate?\u003c\/strong\u003e — Yes. Aluminum doesn't crack in freeze-thaw. The Blaze grill works fine in winter. Just make sure the ground is stable — frost heave can shift an unlevel pad. Proper installation matters more in cold climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does it cost to have someone assemble this?\u003c\/strong\u003e — Depends on your region and contractor. Budget $500–$1,500 for assembly and gas hookup combined. Could be more if you're adding custom finishes. Get quotes before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this cheaper than hiring a custom builder?\u003c\/strong\u003e — Usually 30–50% cheaper than a full custom build, yes. You get a working unit now instead of waiting for masonry. Trade-off: you're customizing within a template, not designing from scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do I do if something breaks?\u003c\/strong\u003e — Most serviceable parts (knobs, ignition, shelves) you can replace yourself. Structural issues (frame warping, deep dents) are covered under warranty. Blaze has a nationwide dealer network for grill service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n]]\u0026gt;","brand":"EZ Finish Outdoor Systems","offers":[{"title":"Without Countertop","offer_id":53956629365012,"sku":"EZ-FLY-72ISL-NC","price":5369.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With Countertop","offer_id":53956629397780,"sku":"EZ-FLY-72ISL-CTR","price":6984.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/2686\/1588\/files\/firefly-72-island.jpg?v=1788813226","url":"https:\/\/www.optimaloutdooroasis.com\/products\/firefly-72-grill-island","provider":"Optimal Outdoor Oasis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
