What Are Examples of Outdoor Kitchens I Can Get for $30,000?

For $30k, you have access to elaborate L-shape or galley layouts… or a more basic U-shape layout. If the islands in your desired U-shape are too long or you add too many appliances, this could bump you out of the $30k price range.

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?)
