Best Outdoor Kitchen Kits for 2023

Top Rated Outdoor Kitchen Kits 2023

We’ll be the first to tell you that including an outdoor kitchen kit in your dream backyard plans almost feels like cheating. While the process of designing an outdoor space can be filled with headaches, complete BBQ islands are simple solutions that get you grilling sooner. That’s because outdoor kitchen kits have already been partially built, given a finish, and outfitted with various components. In simplest terms, you get to place a single order for an outdoor kitchen that you might not even need a contractor to set up! See, almost like cheating.

We’ve seen prefab outdoor kitchens get better and better over our 20-plus years in business, but you’re here because you want to find the best. To help you in your search, our experts evaluated our entire selection of outdoor kitchen kits according to the following criteria:

• Quality - This is all about the materials used in the island and its components, along with warranties and aesthetic touches that’ll elevate your outdoor space. If you’ve spent any time with us, you’ve probably noticed we’re partial to 304-grade stainless steel — it is the gold standard for durability in outdoor settings, after all.

• Performance - Though the grills and other cooking appliances included are only part of the package, we carry out extensive tests to see how well they do their jobs. We value grills that provide even heat, display a wide temperature range, and keep flare-ups to a minimum.

• Features - We inspect each component for fun and helpful features that improve usability, giving more weight to those outdoor kitchen kits that prioritize a convenient experience. It’s also worth noting that in this case, more components is somewhat of a feature in itself.
