Outdoor Kitchens: Grills, Appliances & Equipment

Outdoor kitchens combine cooking and entertaining while expanding your living space, typically centered on a grill with storage, refrigeration, and a sink. With the right planning, your outdoor bbq kitchen can become your favorite room in the house.

It all starts with design. Our experts can help with outdoor kitchen planning, whether you're hiring a contractor or going full DIY, including a free 3D outdoor kitchen design sketch.

Most setups start with a built-in grill, and BBQGuys carries outdoor kitchen grills in propane, natural gas, charcoal, wood pellet, and electric grill outdoor configurations, with the right outdoor kitchen grill coming down to your fuel preference and cooking style. Many builds also add a pizza oven, smoker, gas griddle, and side burners to round out the cooking space.

Outdoor Kitchen Appliances

Outdoor appliances are the heart of the space. Outdoor refrigeration like refrigerators, wine coolers, and kegerators are built to handle temperature extremes and keep drinks and ingredients cold for years. Most models use stainless steel doors and hardware built for the outdoors. An outdoor sink rounds out most layouts, making food prep and cleanup far more convenient than running back inside. Running water for your outdoor sink is a common addition too, though it requires a dedicated water line and drainage, typically installed by a licensed plumber.

Outdoor Kitchen Cabinets & Storage

Outdoor kitchen cabinets keep your setup organized and functional, and stainless steel is the standard material since it holds up best against the weather. Access doors give you a way to reach gas and water connections, while drawers hold tools, utensils, and supplies. From ice bins to trash and recycling bins, propane tank storage, paper towel holders, and spice racks, outdoor cabinets round out the lineup for a fully stocked setup.

Planning Your Outdoor Kitchen

A few planning basics will save you time before you buy. Size depends on your backyard, your cooking needs, and your budget, ranging from as little as 10 linear feet to twice that for larger, modular layouts, and cost scales right along with it based on size, materials, and whether you choose a modular outdoor kitchen island or a full custom build. Our outdoor kitchen cost guide breaks down real pricing by project type. Good layouts organize your space into zones, cooking, prep, cleanup, and dining, so nothing feels cramped. Our outdoor kitchen layout guide walks through common zone configurations. For countertops, granite, concrete, and porcelain hold up best against the weather. See our outdoor kitchen countertop guide for a full breakdown. Since these spaces are exposed to the elements year-round, covering and maintaining appliances, countertops, and surfaces helps everything last longer and perform better. A well-built setup can also add real appeal when it's time to sell, though the return on investment varies by market. Our outdoor kitchen investment guide breaks down what to expect.
