A straight BBQ island, also called a straight outdoor kitchen or linear outdoor kitchen, keeps your outdoor kitchen layout in one run. You can place it along a wall or patio edge, or let it stand on its own with guests opposite the cook. More than 25 listings here include complete steel islands, kits for your own build and concrete options. Start with the space you have for outdoor cooking, then decide which appliances you need beside the grill.


How to choose a straight BBQ island

For your straight outdoor kitchen, compare the overall width and the countertop prep space beside the grill. Complete powder-coated steel islands span 60 to 112 inches, with appliances built in. Longer options add features such as a side burner, fridge or sink.

The kits pair a built-in grill with doors and drawers. A Full Kit includes knock-down frames for your cement board and finish. Equipment Only kits need a frame or masonry island you build. Concrete options assemble on site; check which appliances you choose separately and what each bundle includes. If you want only finished islands, no kits or parts, browse complete outdoor kitchen islands.

Need more counter and a second appliance? Compare L-shaped layouts. For a patio corner, see corner-sized islands. If you want a fridge at the grill, look at islands with a built-in fridge.

FAQ

How big does a straight outdoor kitchen need to be?

Allow 60 to 72 inches for grill and storage, 84 to 96 for a side burner or fridge, or 108 to 115 for grill, fridge, sink and side burner. Measure your wall or patio edge, and leave room to stand and cook in front.

Should a straight island go against the house or stand on its own?

Either works. A wall or fence keeps walkways clear and shortens gas and power runs. Freestanding lets you face guests. Keep the grill clear of siding, eaves and anything that burns, and follow the grill manual’s clearances.

Straight or L-shaped, which should I choose?

Choose a straight BBQ island for a narrow patio or one cook, with the counter in one line. An L-shaped layout adds counter and a second appliance station, separating cooking from serving when you cook and host together.
