Why The Broilmaster In-Ground Package Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a grill head, it's a complete installation package including the P3X grill head, a 48" in-ground stainless steel post, and a drop-down side shelf, giving homeowners everything needed to install a permanent grilling station directly into the lawn or unpaved ground without a pedestal or existing paved surface.
The P3PK6N specifically addresses the needs of homeowners who want a genuinely complete, ready-to-install natural gas grilling station embedded directly into the ground, rather than bolted onto a patio or deck.
Built To Go Straight Into The Ground. Unlike the patio post version, which requires a pedestal bolted onto an existing paved surface, this 48" in-ground post embeds directly into the ground, making it the practical choice for lawn areas or other unpaved locations without a patio or deck already in place.
Built For Reliable, High-Heat Grilling
The stainless steel Bow Tie burner generates 40,000 BTUs of corner-to-corner heat, maintaining a uniform output at any temperature setting
Charmaster Briquets enhance heat distribution and protect the burner from drippings, reducing flare-ups
Multi-level stainless steel cooking grids adjust to three levels for precise control over food-to-flame distance
Engineered For Direct Ground Installation
The 48" in-ground stainless steel post is designed for direct embedding into lawn or unpaved ground
The black drop-down side shelf with stainless steel supports adds practical workspace right at the grill
Battery powered push-button spark ignition provides quick, reliable startup
Real Savings
A complete package avoids the added cost and mismatch risk of sourcing a grill head, post, and shelf separately
Direct in-ground installation avoids the cost of pouring a pad or building a pedestal mounting surface
Natural gas eliminates the ongoing cost of propane tank refills or exchanges
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Homeowners who want a genuinely complete, ready-to-install natural gas grilling station embedded directly into the lawn can't get that direct ground installation from the patio post package. The Broilmaster In-Ground Package is built with a 40,000 BTU Bow Tie burner, a 48" in-ground stainless steel post, and a drop-down side shelf, all included, so it delivers a complete grilling station wherever a paved surface isn't already available. For anyone setting up a permanent natural gas grilling station on lawn or unpaved ground, this is the package built to deliver it complete.
