Default Small Slab advice

Hi, getting some conflicting advice from books.

It's on how deep to pour a proper small slab that later will gain a brick
BBQ.

Ground is grey clay, we planned a sand pit to even it, then a 4 inch depth
of poured cement, 4x5 size, raised so it's about 2 inches above ground (2
inches below). Area is Norfolk VA. Deep enough?

Might last 30 years, maybe 50. More with rebar. Consider some sort of
finish that will make hamburger grease spills easy to clean.
