A built-in outdoor kitchen is absolutely worth the money! You will have a significantly improved space for entertaining your loved ones, an easy way to cook outside, and an enticing feature to bring you outdoors as much as possible. On top of that, most outdoor kitchen projects provide a 50% – 200% return on investment.
The best material to use for a barbecue island is concrete. Concrete is a non-combustible material, significantly reducing the risk of a fire hazard from your grill. Additionally, concrete is a material that is well-suited to the outdoor environment. It is unaffected by snow, ice, rain, freeze/thaw cycles, humidity, salty ocean air, insect damage, and brilliant sunlight.
The best outdoor grill to buy depends greatly on your budget and the features that are important to you. That said, a good mid-tier option to consider is Coyote Outdoor Living. These grills are reasonably priced, constructed with weather-hardy 304 stainless steel, and have customizable features depending on your needs.
The standard height for an outdoor grill island is 36”.
Yes, BBQ islands must have ventilation! If your island does not have vents, gas and heat will build up in your island, creating a significant risk of fire or explosion. Ventilation is an absolute requirement for BBQ islands.
