Thanks to everyone for the very nice responses received on this thread.
My
question has been fully answered, and thanks again group !!

Since the original Poster is satisfied I will attempt a hijack : )
I am in the process of building a brick grilling island in my backyard
that
will be feed from a propane stub.

The structure shape is not yet "set -in -stone" so to speak because I have
questions regarding the grilling area.
First I assume the grill needs to be at least lined with firebrick, bur I
wonder, how many layers, and do I need a special mortar?
Second, can I build a burner out of say, black iron pipe? Or would I be
better off buying a pre-made burner...
I.E, what kind of danger(s) do I present myself with a home made burner? (
which I could make to fit the grill size I want?
Thanks for any input.

Brandon
