The grill assembly can include a grill cart and a burner box configured to couple to a top portion of the grill cart. The burner box can include a first connection structure. The first side assembly that can include a first side cart and a first top cap configured to couple to a top portion of the first side cart. The first top cap can include a second connection structure. The first connection structure and the second connection structure mate together to couple the grill assembly to the first side assembly. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Grill and side cart attachment systems and methods

In an embodiment, a grill system can include a grill assembly and a first side assembly. The grill assembly can include a grill cart and a burner box coupled to a top portion of the grill cart. The first side assembly can include a first side cart and a first panel. The first side cart is configured to be transitioned between a folded state and an upright state; wherein the grill assembly is coupled to the first side assembly. When the first panel is coupled to an outer side of the first side cart, the first side cart is locked into the upright state. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Securing of panels to grill system

In an embodiment, a grill is provided. The grill can include a grill cart and a burner box. The grill cart configured to be transitioned between an upright state and a folded state. The coupling between a first side frame and a base is located in a first plane that is substantially parallel with a plane defined by a bottom plate of the base, and the coupling between a second side frame and the bottom plate of the base is located in a second plane that is substantially parallel with the plane defined by the bottom plate. The first plane is located a first distance away from the plane defined by the bottom plate and the second plane is located a second distance away from the plane defined by the bottom plate. The first distance is not equivalent to the second distance. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Grill assembly with foldable cart

Grill assembly

In an embodiment, a grill system is provided. The grill system can include a grill assembly and a side assembly. The grill assembly can include a grill cart and a burner box coupled to a top portion of the grill cart. The side assembly is coupled to the grill assembly. The side assembly can include a side cart. The side cart includes a vertical support member and a slidable locking member disposed on the vertical support member. The side cart is transitionable between a folded state and an upright state. The slidable locking member is configured to slide along the vertical support member when the side cart is transitioned between the folded state and the upright state.
