What are Examples of Outdoor Kitchens I Can Get for $10,000?

Admittedly, the $10k price range for an outdoor kitchen is rather limited. While it’s absolutely possible to get an island in this price range… you’ll be constrained to simple, no-frills designs. Typically, the layout can’t be anything larger than a linear island, which means you’re locked out of L-shape, U-shape, and galley designs.

Hey there, I’m Jordan Diggs and I’m from San Antonio, Texas. Growing up in an area that’s steeped in BBQ culture, I learned from an early age that BBQ is life. In my position at RTA, I love having a creative outlet, and being able to share the excitement of outdoor living with the broader world. I love being able to capture that excitement, and help people picture what their life would be like with a complete outdoor living space. Plus, having a background in the food industry, it feels natural to create content centered around BBQ and all things outdoor cooking. When I’m not serving up content for RTA, I enjoy taking my dog on walks, yoga, and a good Netflix binge on the couch. I also enjoy mountain activities like skiing, hiking, and building a good, warm fire. I’m all about balance, so working hard means relaxing hard! (Am I right?)
