KoKoMo Baja BBQ Island – 32" Grill with Bar Seating
72,000 BTUs. 7'6" Bar. Fridge, Lighting, and Fire — All in One L-Shaped Island.
The KoKoMo Baja pairs a 32-inch 4-burner commercial-grade grill with a full wraparound bar that seats 6–8 guests, a 4.6 cu. ft. outdoor refrigerator, 5 LED puck lights, an umbrella sleeve, and a pre-wired GFCI outlet — an L-shaped outdoor kitchen and entertainment station built from galvanized steel and finished in stone and porcelain tile.
The KoKoMo Baja is the island for buyers who want a serious cooking station and a proper bar in one reversible, modular footprint. The 32-inch 4-burner grill delivers 72,000 BTUs plus a 12,000 BTU infrared rear burner with ceramic briquette system — rotisserie-ready, multi-zone capable. The 7'6" raised bar wraps the L and seats a crowd. A 4.6 cu. ft. stainless outdoor refrigerator keeps drinks and ingredients cold at arm's reach. Under-bar LED puck lighting and an umbrella sleeve carry the setup from afternoon cookout into evening entertaining. The galvanized steel frame ships in modular sections, reverses for site flexibility, and is backed by KoKoMo's lifetime structural warranty.
A Complete Outdoor Kitchen and Bar — From First Sear to Last Round
The Baja is built for hosts who want to cook seriously and entertain generously — without splitting the space between a grill station and a bar. Every element is designed to pull its weight.
Total BTUs — 32" 4-Burner KoKoMo Grill
72,000 BTUs from four commercial-grade burners, plus a 12,000 BTU infrared rear burner. A ceramic briquette system ensures even, consistent heat across the entire 304 SS cooking surface — ideal for multi-zone grilling, searing, and rotisserie work simultaneously.
Wraparound Bar — Seats 6 to 8 Guests
The raised bar top wraps the L-shaped footprint, giving guests a dedicated counter that never competes with the cook. Ample space for plates, drinks, and food staging — without the host ever having to leave the grill.
Outdoor-Rated Stainless Refrigerator
A 4.6 cu. ft. outdoor-rated stainless refrigerator keeps beverages, condiments, and perishables cold right at the island — no trips inside, no warm drinks mid-cook. Built and rated for permanent outdoor cabinet installation.
LED Puck Lights — Day-to-Night Entertaining
Five LED puck lights mounted under the bar overhang provide warm ambient lighting for evening cookouts. Pair with the built-in umbrella sleeve (umbrella sold separately) for shade during the day and ambiance after dark.
Feature Ready — Optional Bar-Top Fire Burner
The Baja is pre-configured to accept an optional fire burner upgrade on the bar top — adding warmth, atmosphere, and a focal point that turns the island into a full evening destination. Fire feature available as a separate add-on.
Modular, Reversible — Adapts to Your Space
Galvanized steel framing with Hardie backer board ships in modular sections for easier delivery. The reversible layout means the bar can be oriented to the left or right to suit your patio — no custom build required. Pre-wired GFCI outlet included.
The 32" KoKoMo Grill & Bar — Deep Dive
Why the KoKoMo 4-Burner Stands Out
Most island grills at this footprint run a conventional open-flame burner system with no secondary heat zone. The KoKoMo 32-inch 4-burner runs 72,000 BTUs across four commercial-grade burners, adding a separate 12,000 BTU infrared rear burner for rotisserie and searing. The ceramic briquette system — positioned above the burners, below the 304 SS cooking grates — absorbs and radiates heat evenly across the full grilling surface, eliminating cold spots and suppressing flare-ups from dripping fats. Multi-zone cooking is fully supported: run low-and-slow on one side while searing at high heat on the other. The infrared rear burner powers a rotisserie motor setup for whole roasts, birds, or racks.
The Bar: More Than Counter Space
The 7'6" raised bar is a dedicated entertaining zone — not a surplus countertop on the back of the island. At bar height, guests can sit, eat, and drink without stepping over the cook. The five under-bar LED puck lights keep the surface well-lit after dark without overhead fixtures. The built-in umbrella sleeve lets you drop in a market umbrella for shade during afternoon gatherings. The optional fire burner upgrade mounts to the bar top, adding a flame feature that makes the island a destination in its own right long after the grill cools down.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take
- Hosts and entertainers — the wraparound bar seats 6–8 guests comfortably while the cook works the grill; the two zones don't compete for space.
- Backyard upgrades from a standalone grill — the Baja adds bar seating, cold storage, and ambient lighting in one island, eliminating every reason to head indoors between courses.
- Multi-zone cooks — the ceramic briquette system and infrared rear burner support simultaneous searing, indirect cooking, and rotisserie without competition for heat zones.
- Evening entertainers — built-in LED lighting, umbrella sleeve, and the optional fire feature make the Baja a destination well after the food is served.
- DIY-friendly installs — modular galvanized steel framing ships in sections and snaps together; reversible layout adapts to most patios without custom work. Gas connection still requires a licensed professional per local codes.
- Buyers who want flexibility later — the modular framing and reversible design make the Baja adaptable if your patio layout ever changes, without replacing the structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total BTU output?
84,000 BTUs total — 72,000 BTUs from four commercial-grade main burners, plus a 12,000 BTU infrared rear burner. The infrared rear burner is separate and supports rotisserie cooking independently of the main burners.
How many people does the bar seat?
The 7'6" wraparound raised bar comfortably accommodates 6–8 guests on bar stools. The bar is at raised height and positioned on one arm of the L — separate from the grill work area — so guests can sit and eat without interfering with cooking.
What does "reversible layout" mean?
The Baja's L-shape can be configured with the bar arm on either the left or right side of the grill station, depending on your patio layout. This is determined at the time of assembly — contact Deck & Den before ordering if you need guidance on which orientation suits your space.
What fuel types does the Baja grill accept?
Liquid Propane (LP) and Natural Gas (NG) — select your fuel type at time of purchase. Both the main burners and the infrared rear burner operate on your chosen fuel.
What is the ceramic briquette system and why does it matter?
The ceramic briquettes sit between the burners and the cooking grates. They absorb heat from the burners and radiate it evenly across the full grilling surface, eliminating hot and cold spots that open-flame grill systems can produce. They also vaporize drippings before they can flare up, reducing flare-up frequency and adding flavor. This is the same approach used in commercial restaurant grills.
Is the refrigerator rated for outdoor use?
Yes. The 4.6 cu. ft. stainless refrigerator is outdoor-rated and designed for permanent cabinet installation. It is not a freezer — best suited for beverages, condiments, marinades, and perishables that benefit from being close at hand during a cook.
What is the fire feature upgrade and how does it work?
The optional fire burner mounts to the bar top surface and runs on the same gas supply as the grill. When lit, it provides an open flame feature on the bar counter — decorative warmth that keeps the island as a social focal point after cooking is done. This is an optional add-on, not included in the standard package; contact Deck & Den to add it at time of order.
Does the GFCI outlet require an electrician?
The outlet is pre-wired into the island frame, but connection to a power source requires a licensed electrician per local codes. The outlet supports standard accessories — blenders, speakers, lighting, phone charging — once connected.
Does an umbrella come with the island?
No. The umbrella sleeve is built into the bar top but the umbrella itself is sold separately. The sleeve accepts a standard market umbrella pole.
How does the Baja ship and what should I expect on delivery day?
The Baja ships freight in modular sections on pallets. Free shipping applies on orders over $100 to the contiguous 48 states. Freight deliveries are curbside — delivery details will be in your confirmation email. Do not refuse delivery if visible damage is present; note all damage on the delivery paperwork before signing and contact Deck & Den with photos within 48 hours.
Is the Baja suitable for a covered patio or pergola?
KoKoMo grills are designed for outdoor use. Installations under covered structures require adequate overhead clearance and ventilation above the grill. Local building and fire codes may have additional requirements for covered outdoor gas appliances — review these before siting the island.
Can Deck & Den help with layout planning?
Yes — contact Deck & Den and our team can assist with orientation selection, site planning, and pairing accessories or add-ons. We can also advise on the fire feature upgrade and coordinate logistics for large or complex deliveries.
What is Deck & Den's return policy?
Deck & Den offers a 45-day return policy on eligible items in original, unassembled, resalable condition. Review the returns page before initiating a return on freight items. Warranty claims are handled directly by KoKoMo Grills.
