Outdoor Kitchen

What you cook on

Browse all BBQ grills, or choose built-in grill heads from 24 to 54 inches wide. Pick natural gas grills for a house line or propane grills for a tank.

Explore flat top griddles for breakfast and smash burgers, including built-in griddles for island cutouts. Add side and power burners for sauces and big pots, or explore pizza ovens for another approach to outdoor cooking.

Islands and layouts

Choose complete kitchen islands that arrive built, or build your own frame using BBQ islands and components as your starting point. Complete islands include the grill, doors, drawers and often a fridge.

Compare straight layouts, L-shaped islands and corner islands against your patio space. For drinks and cleanup, explore islands with a fridge and islands and prep stations with sinks.

Storage that lives in the island

Choose access doors that open onto the space under the grill for the gas connection and the tank, storage drawers for tools and trash, and enclosed cabinets and pantries for storage space. A grill, griddle or burner in a wood or composite island needs the brand’s insulated liner, sold separately.

Cold, wet and finishing touches

Keep drinks nearby with outdoor-rated fridges, double-tap kegerators, an automatic outdoor ice maker or wine chillers. Fridges come in 15- and 24-inch widths.

Add sinks for prep and cleanup and bar and refreshment centers for serving. Electric warming drawers hold cooked food at serving temperature. Under a covered patio, outdoor-rated vent hoods move smoke and heat out.

FAQ

What do I need for an outdoor kitchen?

Start with the grill and an access door for gas connections and the underside. Add a side burner or griddle for your cooking, a fridge for drinks, and drawers for tools. Include a sink if water is accessible, and a vent hood under a roof.

What is the best grill for an outdoor kitchen?

Choose a built-in grill that fits your cutout and crowd. Widths run 24 to 54 inches; wider grills cook more at once. Pick natural gas for a fixed island with a house line, or propane otherwise. Consider an infrared sear burner if you cook steak.

Should I buy a complete island or build my own?

A complete island is the fastest route, with the finish done and the grill, doors, drawers and often a fridge in place. Building your own lets you choose components individually for an unusual patio or gradual project. Both routes use the built-in parts sold here.

Can I put an outdoor kitchen on a deck or under a roof?

Yes, with the right provisions. A grill, griddle or burner in wood or composite needs the brand’s insulated liner, sold separately. Under a roof, you need an outdoor-rated vent hood for smoke and heat. Ask your builder whether the deck can carry the island’s weight.
