Installation and Safety Guidelines for Coyote Side Burners
Pre-Installation Recommendations
• Record Product Information: Before installing a built-in side burner, copy the product details,
including the model number, serial number, and fuel type (e.g., natural gas or LP). Store this
information in a safe place for future reference.
• Locate Gas Shut-Off: The valve must be readily and easily accessible. If the side burner is installed
by a professional, ensure they show you the location of the gas supply shut-off valve.
• Check for Gas Leaks: If you smell gas, check for leaks using a soap and water solution. Never
inspect leaks with an open flame.
Notice: Professional installation of your Coyote Side burner is highly recommended. These instructions
provide the necessary measurements for constructing a masonry structure to house your outdoor gas side
burner.
Location Requirements
• Outdoor Use Only: Always install the side burner in a well-ventilated outdoor area. If placing the
side burner in an enclosed space such as a garage, shed, or breezeway, ensure it is equipped with a
properly approved ventilation system.
• Smoke Ventilation: Choose a location where smoke can disperse quickly to avoid inhalation of
potentially harmful fumes.
Ventilation Requirements
Proper ventilation allows heat and gas to escape, ensuring safe and efficient operation. Failure to meet
ventilation requirements will void the Coyote warranty and pose a risk of injury or death.
1. Ventilation for Built-in Islands:
• Islands must have at least two vents (optimally four) per cabinet containing gas
connections.
• Each vent must be at least 20 sq. inches in size and open to outside air.
• Propane side burners: Place vents at or below the height of the tank valve, as propane
is heavier than air.
• Natural gas side burners: Place vents at or above the gas connection height, as
natural gas is lighter than air.
2. Wind Considerations:
• Select a location that accounts for typical wind conditions to prevent heat buildup inside
the side burner or island.
• Wind can block exhaust and trap heat, causing control panels and knobs to overheat and
potentially damage components like ignition systems or rubber gaskets.
Clearance Requirements
1. From Non-Combustible Materials:
• If a wall or partition behind the side burner blocks ventilation, we recommend maintaining
a minimum clearance of 7 inches from the back of the side burner.
• A 2-inch minimum clearance behind the side burner will allow the hood to open fully.
• Allow 6 inches of clearance on each side burner side for the motor and spit handle to be
used in a rotisserie.
Locating the Side Burner
Check
your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence of local codes, this
unit
should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1-1998 USA or CAN/CGA-
8149.1/.2
Natural Gas/Propane Code (Canada) latest edition or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1, 1990 or latest version.
7
2. From Combustible Materials:
• Maintain at least 24 inches of clearance from combustible materials below the countertop.
• Maintain at least 15 inches of clearance from combustible materials behind the side
burner above the countertop.
• Never locate the side burner under combustible structures unless an approved ventilation
hood is installed:
• The hood must be UL-certified, designed for outdoor Use, and installed per the
manufacturer’s specifications.
• It should be installed at least 30 inches above the cooking surface and be 6
inches wider than the side burner frame (3 inches on each side).
3. Insulated Jackets:
• If the side burner is within 24 inches of combustible materials below the countertop, an
appropriate Coyote insulated jacket must be used. Failure to use an insulated jacket voids
the warranty and compromises safety.
Built-in Installation
1. Masonry Installation:
• A built-in side burner can be installed into masonry enclosures without a bottom deck to
support the side burner. The weight of the side burner body is supported by the countertop
within the cutout opening.
• Do not enclose the side burner and block the ventilation around the side burner's body.
• Ensure the countertop is flat and level relative to the floor.
• Install two or more vents, each at least 20 sq. inches in size, for proper ventilation:
• Propane side burners: Position vents at or below tank valve height.
• Natural gas side burners: Position vents at or above the gas connection.
2. LP Tank Storage:
• Store LP tanks in a separate, ventilated compartment with bottom vents for proper
airflow.
High-Elevation Use
• Coyote Side burners are optimized for operation at 0-2000 feet above sea level elevations.
• Performance remains stable between 2000-4000 feet, though more gas combusts due to reduced
oxygen levels.
• Cooking times above 4000 feet may increase due to air/fuel mixture changes. For questions
regarding high-elevation installation, contact Coyote Customer Support for guidance.
Key Safety Notes
• Proper ventilation is critical for safety and performance.
• Always adhere to clearance guidelines to prevent overheating and ensure warranty validity.
• Use Coyote-approved insulated jackets and ventilation hoods for combustible materials or high-risk
areas.
The illustrations demonstrate how the slide-in type unit is designed to fit into open-front
enclosures and is supported on the Countertop.

General Troubleshooting Guide
Inspect your burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
• You smell gas.
• Burner flames appear primarily yellow.
• The side burner does not reach the proper cooking temperature.
• Burners produce a snapping or popping noise.
• The side burner heats unevenly.
If the side burner is not functioning correctly, use the information below for guidance.
Safety First: If you cannot resolve the issue, contact Coyote Customer Support at 855-520-1559.
The side burner will not ignite.
• Ensure the gas supply is turned on.
• If using LP gas, verify there is fuel in the tank. Check the gas level.
• Confirm that at least one burner is turned on, allowing up to 5 seconds of gas flow to ignite.
• Check if the igniter is working. You should hear a snapping sound.
• Check for a spark at the electrodes if there is a snapping sound. (Remove cooking grates and heat
control grids to inspect.)
• Ensure the electrode gap is 1/8" to 1/4" between the electrode and contact point.
• Inspect for loose wire connections to the igniter or electrodes.
• Clear any debris blocking the electrodes.
• If the igniter still does not work, try lighting the side burner manually with a lighter.
Flare-ups
• Check for excess grease or food debris on cooking grates.
• Ensure the drip tray is clean (do not line it with aluminum foil).
• Avoid placing the side burner directly in the path of wind.
• Note: Some flare-ups are normal when cooking greasy foods.
Yellow flames
• Check burner air inlets for obstructions, such as debris or insect nests.
• Ensure the side burner is not in an overly windy location.
If the flame blows out on a low setting or uneven heat
• Inspect the burner for spider webs or insect nests and clean them thoroughly.
• Preheat the side burner on high for 5 minutes before cooking.
• Ensure the burner is correctly aligned.
• Relocate the side burner to a less windy area, especially in cold or windy weather.
• Check for sufficient fuel. Confirm that the cylinder valve is open and that the cylinder contains fuel.
Low heat on the "HIGH" setting
• Inspect the fuel hose for kinks or bends.
• Clear dust or debris from the side burner area.
• Verify gas supply and pressure.
• Clean the burner and orifice if the issue affects only one burner.
The side burner is too hot.
• Excess grease buildup may cause grease fires.
• Replace damaged or faulty regulators with factory-authorized parts.
• Lower the cooking temperature setting.

Controlling Flare-Ups
Flare-ups are a natural part of grilling and contribute to the unique flavor. However, excessive flare-ups
caused by grease buildup can overcook food and create safety risks.
Follow these tips to minimize and control flare-ups:
1. Minimizing Flare-Ups:
• Trim excess fat from meat before cooking.
• Cook fatty meats like chicken or pork on low heat or indirectly.
• Ensure the side burner is on level ground, allowing grease to drain properly through the
evacuation hole.
2. Managing Flare-Ups:
• If a grease fire occurs, close the lid and turn off the burners. Wait for the grease to burn out.
• Use caution when reopening the lid, as flare-ups may occur suddenly.
Never pour water on flames, which can cause splattering and severe burns.
