Outdoor Grill & BBQ Islands
Are you curious to learn more about our grill islands? Or even grill islands in general?
There’s an overwhelming amount of options out there… It can be difficult to make sense of it all.
Allow us to sort through the noise.
Types of Outdoor Grill Island Kits
In the outdoor kitchen industry… There are three types of grill island kits you will encounter:
Modular outdoor kitchens are an option you’ll often see online or at big box stores. These are generally sold in units that you can piece together to create a full outdoor kitchen.
Ready-to-finish is another popular outdoor kitchen option. These can also be found at big box stores and elsewhere online. Though they require a bit more work, ready-to-finish outdoor kitchens are more customizable than modular.
Prefabricated outdoor kitchens are another common option. These are quite similar to RTF systems… With just a few differences. These differences are mainly in the assembly process.
Ready-to-assemble outdoor kitchens
Ready-to-assemble outdoor kitchens. RTA systems are the new kids on the block! Ready-to-assemble systems combine the benefits of modular and RTF… With fewer of the pitfalls. This is the grill island kit we offer here at RTA.
Advantages and Disadvantages
of Grill Islands
Let’s continue the discussion on the various types of grill island kits you may see. To help you make your decision… We’d like to review the pros and cons of each type.
Modular BBQ Grill Islands Pros & Cons
- Pros
- Modular grill islands can be an excellent choice depending on your situation.
- For advantages, modular BBQ grill islands are easy to configure and assemble. You combine all the units you desire and... Boom. You have a grill island with refrigerator, or sink, or whatever works for your space.
- Another bonus is how easy these kitchens are to transport. Modular outdoor kitchens are easy to pack and ship to you. It also means they are relatively easy to move to another location.
- This means if you move... You can bring your outdoor kitchen with you. That's pretty great!
- Modular outdoor kitchens are also easy to access. Many big box stores and online retailers sell everything you need to get started.
- Cons
- Unfortunately, there are some notable disadvantages to the modular model. For one, modular grill islands are limited on design.
- Yes, there is some flexibility! However... That flexibility is only within the confines of what unit options the manufacturer offers. Usually, you will choose a few slightly different layouts and outdoor appliance placements.
- If you're happy with the options offered... That's great! In many cases, it can leave more to be desired.
- Another large detractor is quality. Of course... Not all modular grill islands are made with poor quality materials. This is the exception, not the rule.
- The vast majority of modular outdoor kitchens you'll find are made with metal. Generally speaking, some form of stainless steel or coated aluminum is used.
- Now, there's nothing inherently wrong with this! It just depends on how invested you are in the longevity of your investment.
- Coated aluminum is fairly rust resistant, which is a plus. However, it's still susceptible to corroding over time. Not catching the corrosion quickly... results in the structure of your modular grill island rapidly becoming compromised.
- It's a similar situation with stainless steel. The higher the grade of stainless... The more likely you'll avoid problems. 304 stainless steel is a high grade option to look for. Just know that you'll be running the risk of rust or corrosion with a low grade stainless.
- While not in the purview of this page... We do want to mention we have created our own durable modular grill island system. We've developed this system to avoid many of the pitfalls of traditional modular options. To learn more, check it out here.
RTF Outdoor Grill Islands Pros & Cons
- Pros
- As we discussed earlier, there are a couple types of RTF systems. Concrete block and metal frames are the main two you'll see today.
- We'll begin with metal frames.
- Metal frame island grills have a lot of great benefits. Like modular, they're light in weight. So these systems are easy to ship and carry to your backyard.
- Metal frames also offer solid structural support for appliances and countertops. You can feel confident that your outdoor kitchen is structurally sound.
- Further, RTF outdoor kitchens are generally more customizable than modular. Since you're just starting with frames... You have a lot more wiggle room in terms of your final layout.
- Cons
- The main concerns are the elements and the finishing process.
- If you live in a freeze/thaw climate... Metal frames can spell trouble for you. Due to the way RTF outdoor kitchens grill islands are constructed... They are very susceptible to water damage. This can lead to corrosion and rusting of your outdoor kitchen frames which will compromise the structure. Yikes!
- The second caveat is the finishing process.
- For experienced DIYers, this may not be an issue. But for the average bear just dipping their toes into the DIY world... The finishing process can be overwhelming. This process hinges on having a certain level of basic construction knowledge to do this right.
- Between applying cement board... A scratch coat... And finally, the finish itself... There's more to an RTF grill island that meets the eye.
Prefabricated Grill Island Pros & Cons
- Pros
- As mentioned earlier... Prefab grill islands are quite similar to RTF systems.
- Why?
- Well... They're generally made from the same materials.
- Most commonly, you'll see prefab grill islands made with metal frames.
- Compared to RTF... The advantage is that prefab grill islands come pre-assembled.
- There's no need to apply cement board... Apply a cladding material... Apply your finish... None of that!
- You won't even have to install your appliances!
- It simply gets dropped into your backyard, ready to go.
- For those that don't feel comfortable with the DIY aspect of an outdoor kitchen... This is a great benefit.
- However, there are some drawbacks to a prefab grill island.
- Cons
- The main advantage of prefab can actually be a huge disadvantage!
- Why?
- It really comes down to access. More specifically, access to your backyard.
- If it's easy for heavy machinery to enter into your backyard... This won't be so much of a problem.
- Since a prefab grill island is already assembled... It has to be placed into your backyard. Most commonly, this is done with a crane.
- So if a crane can't get into your backyard easily... The process can easily turn into a logistical nightmare.
- While it may not seem like it at first... Sometimes it's easier to pursue a more DIY friendly option!
- Another concern can be limitations in design. Most prefabricated outdoor kitchens have a select few layouts available.
- If you're looking for something highly customized... This may not be the option for you.
RTA Outdoor Kitchen Grill Islands (That's us!) Pros & Cons
- Pros
- Even though we created the ready-to-assemble system... We have to be honest about the advantages and disadvantages.
- Let's begin with the pros.
- Of the three outdoor kitchen grill island options we've discussed... RTA is certainly the most customizable. We've put a distinct effort into giving you the ability to personalize your project to your needs.
- In fact, we have a free online design tool for this express purpose. You can play around with layout, appliances, and finishes to your heart's content. More than likely... You'll end up with an outdoor kitchen design that's exactly what you're looking for.
- We also have a dedicated team of design experts. Should you choose to work with RTA... One of our experts will be assigned to your project. They'll guide you through every aspect of your design and answer any questions you have. Consider them your personal outdoor kitchen guru.
- Another advantage is the assembly process. RTA outdoor bbq island kits can be assembled in just a few hours. That means you can have your panels and appliances arrive in the morning... And be grilling by the end of the day. Talk about convenience!
- A third advantage is durability. Our panels and countertops are composed of an ultra high performance concrete. The materials we use are durable and designed to last the test of time. You don't have to worry about rust, rot, or corrosion. No matter the climate you live in.
- Cons
- While we tout how flexible RTA designs are... We can't do everything. If you're looking for circular or other highly specialized designs... We unfortunately won't be able to accommodate you. In this case, you'll be better off looking for a full custom option.
- Even though our BBQ grill islands are very DIY friendly... Not everyone wants to assemble their outdoor kitchen! Hey, we understand. We will say you can hire someone to help you assemble if that's something you're open to.
- Another drawback may be the aesthetics of an RTA outdoor kitchen. While we offer many finishes to accommodate your tastes... We don't have tile or stucco finish options. So if your heart is set on that look, RTA may be a deal breaker in that case.

Frequently Asked Questions
You’re probably expecting us to say “it depends”. Well, you’re right!
There are many factors in play when it comes to determining the cost of your outdoor kitchen.
Materials used, appliances, and the size of your grill island will ultimately determine your price.
On average… A good quality grill island will cost anywhere from $1,000 – $2,000 per linear foot.
This average includes countertops, appliances, and island structure. For example, a 6’ linear grill island would cost around $6,000 – $12,000.
Of course, you will see outdoor kitchens that cost more! But these will be decked out with all the bells and whistles. The above estimate is the most common pricing you’ll see. You can read the detailed answer for grill island cost here.
Once again… It depends!
The installation method you choose will directly affect the cost. Say you choose a prefabricated outdoor kitchen option like RTA. The work is 95% done for you already.
In this case… You can install it yourself in a few hours with a friend. With no need to hire anyone… You completely eliminate the installation cost there.
On the other hand, you could hire a contractor to install your prefab BBQ island. Expect this to run you anywhere from $700 – $1,500.
You may also decide to build your BBQ island completely from scratch. It will take days or weeks for installation depending on your design. Hiring a contractor to build your island this way could add thousands of dollars in installation costs.
There are many BBQ island solutions out there. How you make one depends on the method you choose!
Most commonly, BBQ islands are made from a frame. They can be made from wood, metal, or concrete block.
If the frame is metal or wood, you’ll attach cement board to create a surface. From there, you apply the finish you desire. It could be stone, brick, tile, stucco, etc. Drop in your countertop, install appliances, hook up utility and gas lines… And you’re good to go.
The steps are simple… But it definitely requires some construction know-how to ensure being properly installed.
Perhaps you’re interested in a more modern approach to BBQ island construction. In that case, consider RTA. Our outdoor kitchens are frameless… Which eliminates multiple steps in assembly.
Instead of frames, we utilize structural concrete panels. These panels are constructed and designed with longevity in mind. Even better? The finishes are already incorporated into the panels.
You simply fasten the panels together, drop in your countertop, install appliances, and hook up utility lines. No need to fuss with constructing frames… Attaching cement board… And applying your own finish.
While it’s technically possible to put a regular BBQ into an island… It’s not recommended.
Most cart model BBQ grills are not designed for adding into an island. As a result… You can create safety or grill performance issues. Yikes!
To make matters worse… It wouldn’t be easy to install anyway.
These BBQs are not designed to be dropped in. Therefore, you have to build around them. Sounds like a lot of work!
Further, cart model BBQs tend to have shorter warranties. They’re also not designed to last a lifetime. So if your grill goes kaput… You have a structure built around a grill that doesn’t work. This can create some serious challenges down the road with repairs and replacements.
Many outdoor kitchens are built deeper than indoor kitchens. Standard depth for interior cabinets are generally 24”. For outdoor kitchens, this increases to 30”.
Why?
Simply put, it has to do with the appliances. Most outdoor appliances are larger and require more island depth to fit properly.
That’s not to say you can’t make your BBQ island wider… It really comes down to personal preference and what you’re looking to accomplish.
Well, it depends!
The type of outdoor island grill and appliances you select determine how mobile it is.
You’ll likely remember we stated modular outdoor kitchens can move with relative ease. They’re fairly simple to disassemble and move to another location. (This is especially true of our modular option, MOKs!)
RTF grill islands are definitely not recommended to change locations. It’s not something you can just take apart the same way as modular. So if you decide on a ready-to-finish outdoor kitchen… Make sure you’re okay with leaving it behind if you move. Or, make sure it’s installed at your forever home!
RTA is a mix of the two. Our kitchens are easy to assemble and disassemble, yes. However, our concrete panels are going to require much more attention in transit than the metal pieces of a modular model. In many cases, it may be more trouble than it’s worth.
A simple Google search will show you tons of ideas! But sometimes, you’re looking for something with more detail.
Shameless plug here… But our website is a wealth of information for grill island ideas. In fact, we have an entire blog dedicated to that purpose.
Other than a Google search or perusing our website pages… Also look into reading outdoor living blogs or publications. Oftentimes, you’ll see outdoor kitchens featured in a stylized setting. These images can really get the creative juices flowing!
