The estates out here were reticulated for gas from the start and the houses have the outdoor space, which is why the alfresco kitchen is the job we get asked about most.
The temptation is to treat it as a bigger barbecue. Run it off the bayonet on the patio, hose across the paving, done. That bayonet is there for a portable appliance and it does the job it was designed for perfectly well, but a built-in cooker in built-in joinery is a different proposition.
A permanent appliance in an enclosure brings requirements a portable one does not: how it is ventilated, what clearances the cabinet has to give it, and how the connection is made and supported. Those are decided by how the enclosure is built, which is why the time to raise it is at the design stage rather than on the day the appliance arrives.
The other half is arithmetic. An outdoor burner set can be a significant addition to the house's total gas demand, and whether the existing line and meter will carry it is a calculation. If the answer is that the supply needs work first, you hear it before the cabinetry is built.


No switches, no phones indoors. Turn it off at the meter only if you can reach it safely, then ring from outside.
A bayonet is for a portable appliance, and it does that job well.
A permanent cooker in permanent joinery has requirements a portable one does not.
Ventilation and clearances depend on how the enclosure is built around the appliance.
Which is why this is a design stage conversation, not a delivery day one.
An outdoor burner set is a substantial addition to total demand.
Whether the line and meter carry it is arithmetic, not optimism.
The input rating on the appliance plate is the number the calculation runs on.
Have it and most of the answer arrives on the phone.
Required on every gas job, and worth filing with the property papers.
It gets asked for at claim time and at sale.
Fixed price agreed before anything starts. These are indicative 2026 ranges.
Connected, tested and certified in one visit.
A permanent run sized for the appliance, priced on the distance.
On its own if you want the answer before the cabinetry is built, and it comes off the work.
With the compliance certificate handed over.
Made safe at any hour, with the cause established afterwards.

What is already connected, what is going in, and whether any joinery has been built yet.

Total demand against what the line and meter can deliver, before anybody orders cabinetry around an appliance.

A permanent run, fitted to the Australian Standards and pressure tested before anything is signed off.

The Certificate of Compliance in your hand before we leave rather than in the post afterwards.
Get outside, leave the switches alone, and ring. A licensed gas fitter can be on the way immediately.

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do out here. It is a permanent connection with its own run, sized for the appliance, rather than a bayonet with a hose across the paving. Done properly it is neater, safer and it does not have to be packed away.
Nothing, for a portable barbecue, which is what it is for. It is the wrong solution for a built-in outdoor kitchen, because a permanent appliance in a permanent enclosure has requirements a portable one does not, including ventilation and clearances that depend on how the enclosure is built.
A great deal, and it is worth raising before the joinery is built rather than after. A built-in appliance sitting in a sealed cabinet is a different proposition from the same appliance in the open. Tell your builder or cabinetmaker to talk to us at the design stage and it costs nothing to get right.
Usually, and it is a calculation rather than a guess. Everything in the property draws on the same supply, so the answer depends on total demand against what the line and meter can deliver. An outdoor burner set can be a substantial addition.
Yes, on every gas job, and on the day rather than in the post. Keep it with the property papers, because insurers ask for it after an incident and conveyancers ask for it at sale.
Everyone outside first. No light switches, nothing electrical, no phone used indoors. Turn the supply off at the meter only if you can reach it safely, then ring from outside.
An appliance connection is $200 to $500. A permanent outdoor kitchen connection is $600 to $1,500 depending on the run. A leak test and certificate is $180 to $350. A load calculation on its own is $150 to $300 and comes off the work.
Tell us what is connected now and what you are planning. If it is an outdoor kitchen, tell us before the cabinetmaker starts rather than after.
Calculated, installed, tested and certified, at the figure agreed first.
