or other outdoor structure. This can cause the control panel and knobs to get hot to the touch and 
possibly even burn your fingers, not to mention that it can melt all rubber gaskets on the valves and 
damage the ignition system to where it will need full replacement.   
•  Ventilation and typical wind direction and conditions must always be considered when planning your 
outdoor cooking island. Just the same as you would plan the layout and measure your indoor kitchen, 
you  must  also  do  the  same  for  the  outdoors;  but  you  cannot  forget  about  Mother  Nature  and  the 
effects she can have on your outdoor cooking equipment.   
o  Coyote Wind Guards: If you do run into a situation where you will have wind coming into the 
back of the unit, Coyote offers "Wind Guards" that reduce risks of overheating in the event of 
ventilation  interference.  Our  Wind  Guards  should  never  be  considered  as  a  guaranteed 
solution to this problem. They are only intended to help the wind divert up and over the top of 
the grill. If the wind is strong, then you can still have problems with the heat being trapped in 
the hood. Coyote Wind Guards can be purchased through any of our authorized dealers.

•  FROM  NON-COMBUSTIBLE  MATERIALS:  Coyote  grills  can  be  placed  directly  on,  or  adjacent  to, 
non-combustible  materials,  subject  to  ventilation  requirements.  The  hood  on  a  Coyote  grill  pivots 
mainly on the body. If you have a wall or partition behind the unit that would block ventilation, then a 
minimum of 7" clearance from the back of the grill to the wall is needed for the purpose of ventilation. 
If you do not have a wall or partition blocking the ventilation of the unit, then you only need an extra 
2" behind the unit for the hood to open fully. If you wish to use the rotisserie option, you will want to 
make sure that you leave adequate space (at least 6") on each side of the grill so that the motor and 
rotisserie spit handle will have  room on the  counter, as these extend past the overall dimensions of 
the grill body. 
•  FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS: Coyote grills must have at least 24" clearance from any combustible 
materials (in any direction) for the safety of the homeowner and for any Coyote Warranty to remain in 
effect.   
o  You CANNOT locate the grill under any combustible material without an approved ventilation 
system located directly above the unit. To elaborate, Coyote defines an approved ventilation 
hood as: 
  The  ventilation  hood  chosen  must  be  UL  certified,  produced  for  outdoor  use  and  must  be 
installed according to the hood manufacturer’s specifications.   
  The hood must be installed at least 30" above the top of the cooking surface.   
  The hood must be at least 6" wider that the grills frame (3" on each side), not just the cooking 
surface.

INSULATED  JACKETS  AND  COMBUSTIBLE  CONSTRUCTION: 
If  you  elect  to  use  combustible  material  to 
build  your  grill island AND the  grill  will  be  located within  24"  of the  combustible material, then you 
must use the appropriate Coyote insulated jacket. The insulated jacket will act as a barrier to protect 
your  grill  island  from  the  heat  and  fire  of  your  Coyote  grill.  If  an  insulated  jacket  is  not  used  in  a 
combustible material  island, the  warranty  on  the  Coyote  grill will be  voided  immediately and  safety 
cannot be ensured. 
For Built-in Installations 
A built-in grill is designed for easy installation into masonry enclosures. For non-combustible applications, the 
grill drops into the opening (as shown in cut-out detail drawing - Fig. A) and hangs from the grill body itself. A 
bottom deck is not required to support the grill from the bottom. It is also required that:
