This custom barbecue island was a blast to design and was done through a very informal process! It helps that we are so familiar with the Pulte product and especially the ever-so-popular Pinnacle layout. The owner had looked on our website and was familiar with our products before he called. Through a quick conversation, we were able to understand the components that he was looking for and then he gave us free rein to go to work.
The Pinnacle has a ton of under truss lanai space, which can accommodate summer kitchens up to 13’4″ in length. This outdoor kitchen with the following components will leave you wanting for nothing.
Pacific Living pizza oven
Custom stainless pieces to create trim kit around pizza oven
Fire Magic Flush Mount Single Vertical Access Door (under pizza oven)
Trade-Wind 42 inch hood
Custom 42 inch wide hood vent cover
36” Fire Magic Aurora A790i Grill with Rotisserie & Infrared Burner
36″ Fire Magic Access door w/ Platter Storage & Double Drawer (under grill)
Fire Magic Power Burner Aurora Style & Porcelain Cast Grid
Fire Magic Double Drawer
Undermount sink with high-arc faucet
Fire Magic Single Vertical Access Door (under sink)
The customer has a modern style and decided to go with a stucco finish to give the outdoor kitchen a super sleek look. While we do not do the stucco ourselves, we are happy to coordinate with the stucco contractor and plan accordingly so that the job does not become a long, drawn out process for the customer. The Absolute Black granite that was selected matches that of the customer’s interior kitchen. He told us the name of the granite and texted a photo and we were able to match it. The backsplash is 4” for the length of the outdoor kitchen and rises to 36”H for a width of 42″, centered under the hood and behind the grill.

Quail West in Naples is an established community with a mix of older & new homes. The homeowner’s of this newly completed outdoor kitchen project had recently purchased the home as a resale and were doing some renovations. When they purchased the home there was an existing outdoor kitchen which they demo’ed to make room for their Elegant Outdoor Kitchen. In the photos, you will see there were still a couple of ongoing projects at the time of the summer kitchen completion. We look forward to seeing their new exterior wall color and brick paver lanai!
In addition to the outdoor kitchen, the customer had a unique request, which was a freestanding table/bar top area. The base is 29”x21”. There is a 13” overhang off all four sides of the table, allowing for plenty of leg room. We used the same stacked stone and granite that was used on the outdoor kitchen.
Given the small wall space, but the large extended lanai, the customer asked us to extend the edge of the outdoor kitchen beyond the wall to allow for more components. What we did was wrap the Silver Travertine stacked stone façade around the left and backside of the outdoor kitchen to finish the look. The customer’s went with an upgraded Delirium granite for the countertop and backsplash. While this granite is an upgrade, it actually looks a lot more expensive than it is!
A great feature for those who like to keep things neat and tidy is the Blaze narrow trash bin with a 42 quart trash receptacle. It rolls out for use of ease. The 34” Blaze Professional 3-burner grill puts out more BTU’s per burner than the Traditional Series grills, comes with the rotisserie kit and a crowd favorite are the lighted knobs which glow red. There are additional features to the Professional Series and we are happy to help you compare & contrast the two. To access the natural gas lines under the grill, we installed the 32” double access door. The homeowner was not done with the cooking components just yet and added the drop-in single side burner. Side burners are a great way to complete the meal and work really well for sautéing. The drop in burners don’t take up a whole lot of room and are especially good in cases where we start to run a little short on room. The final component installed was the Blaze 4.1 CU outdoor rated refrigerator.
It is said that in business you should turn your customers into raving fans. We were humbled to have received a referral from this customer before the job was even finished and look forward to sharing their friends completed outdoor kitchen with you in the near future.

It has been said that the greatest form of flattery is a referral. While we are honored to have received so many referrals, we also view them as a responsibility to not be taken lightly. Consequently, we met this customer, as we have so many others, through a referral by a sales representative at Pelican Preserve.
This 10′ 8″ barbecue island packs a punch of streamlined functionality with the basic grill, sink, fridge components plus it had room for the pullout trash bin. The coloring is more traditional with the Golden White stacked stone and Blue Sapphire granite countertop & backsplash. The Blue Sapphire is an included level 1 granite. The customer opted to add the 36”W x 36”H backsplash behind the grill. The WCI outdoor kitchen rough-in option is airier than some offered by other builders; also, they do not come with the vent stack through the attic. The 36” square backsplash is something we typically see in outdoor living areas with a hood, however, those opting for low maintenance find the larger backsplash to be of value. This larger backsplash allows them to simply wipe off the smoke produced by the grill. The backsplash for the remainder of the kitchen and the side splashes are 6” high, just a couple inches taller than what we normally see.
The Blaze products that were installed were the 4.1 CU FT outdoor rated refrigerator with trim kit, the narrow trash pullout that houses a 42 qt. garbage bin, the 3-burner 34” Professional Series grill, a 32” double door underneath to provide access to the stored propane tank and a single vertical door beneath the under-mount sink. The high-arc faucet that we use has a detachable head and is magnetic so that it stays in place and does not sag.
From conceptual design to project completion, EOK is a builder of some of the most beautiful and functional outdoor living areas and barbecue island designs.

Pelican Preserve is a community focused on outdoor living and activities. We are sure these Pelican Preserve residents will get tons of enjoyment from their new outdoor kitchen.
This summer outdoor kitchen, like many others we have done, was planned long in advance with everything designed prior to visiting the home and prior to the owner’s closing on the home. We have built so many outdoor kitchens in WCI homes, that it is a simple process for us to look up the floorplan and understand what to expect from a marketing brochure. Planning this outdoor kitchen for an Islamorada layout was a breeze.
When the meeting at the home did take place, it was just to confirm the size of the space and to select the stacked stone color. From there, we went with the owner’s directly to the granite yard. The owners went with light colors, Light Travertine stacked stone & an upgraded Colonial Cream granite. This made for an outdoor kitchen with an overall look that is easy on the eyes!
The Blaze products that were installed were the 4.1 CU FT outdoor rated refrigerator with trim kit, a 3-burner 25” grill with the corresponding 25” double door underneath, a slide-in double burner and a single vertical door beneath the undermount sink. The high-arc faucet that we use has a detachable head and is magnetic so that it stays in place and does not sag.

No Job Too Big Or Too Small For Elegant Outdoor Kitchens!
This was a grill upgrade for a home Sanibel Island. The homeowner already had an outdoor kitchen. We did not need to alter the base of the cabinets or the countertop. What you see in the photos is the Blaze 32” 4-burner grill with the insulated grill jacket. The old grill required a cutout that was larger than the cutout needed for the new Blaze grill. Because the existing cutout was deeper than what was needed, we filled the remaining gap with a piece of 304 stainless that was custom crafted and fit to the space. Thus we have a perfect blend of the new with the old and it looks as if the two had always been together.

We certainly have built a lot of outdoor kitchens in homes by DiVosta/Pulte, especially in the Pinnacle floorplan. When you see the size of the under truss lanai in this layout, it is easy to understand why. We don’t always build the summer kitchens for the full length of the available wall in this layout. In the past, we have built it more toward the center with two corners or shifted it to the interior side and stopped before the edge of the wall. However, in this case we ran it all 13’3”, that’s a lot of grilling love! We tucked the sink to the left of the grill, which freed up the remaining right side solely for counterspace and plenty of room for food prep.
To the left, you see the undermount sink with the high-arc faucet. The high-arc faucet that we use is a Delta faucet with a removable spray nozzle. It is also magnetic so that it stays in place and does not sag when you put it back. We vented the Trade-Wind 36” hood through the existing vent stack that DiVosta/Pulte installs with their summer kitchen rough-in package. Under the 32” 4-burner Blaze grill the customer upgraded from the simple double access door to the Blaze 32” double drawer/access door combo. The Blaze outdoor rated 4.1 CU FT refrigerator keeps the drinks cool on those hot pool days. Everything is easier to keep tidy with the Blaze narrow trash bin that rolls out and comes with a 42-quart trash bin.
The granite was a level 1 Santa Cecilia granite. The homeowner went with the most commonly selected backsplash layout which is 4” side splash on the left and 4” backsplash that rises to 36” in height for a width of 36” centered behind the grill and under the hood. This was paired with the Silver Travertine stacked stone. The Silver Travertine is so versatile, typically we see it paired with a cooler tone granite, but it does pull some browns and looks great with the warmer granite types too.
The hood vent cover is custom made for a couple of different reasons as is the case with this project. Due to the truss structure, the vent stack running through the attic comes out a little far off the wall. This is why you see the vent cover step out a little further as it gets closer to the ceiling. Another reason why we have our vent covers custom made is because although the hood itself is perfectly square the walls, unlike the hood and the vent covers, are made by hand not manufactured. We will sometimes have vent covers that are longer on side than the other, or the front may need to be made longer than the back.

Another Beautiful Custom Outdoor Kitchen Design by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens
Level 1 Napolitan Granite
Talk about looking cool & sleek! The L-shape outdoor kitchens are functional and great for entertaining with the bar where guests (or a lucky spouse) can sit and relax. But that should come as no surprise, since this outdoor kitchen was built in a home in Paseo by Stock Development, a community that is all about entertainment.We did not do the stucco but coordinated our schedule with a company that did complete that portion of the work. The paint color of the summer kitchen is an exact match of the color of the exterior of the home. The components included are the undermount sink with the high-arc faucet, Trade-Wind 36” hood with customer vent cover, 32” 4-burner Blaze grill with DDC (door/drawer combo), the Blaze outdoor rated 4.1 CU FT refrigerator.
The granite was a level 1 Napolitan granite. There is a 4” backsplash that rises to 36” in height for a width of 36” centered behind the grill and under the hood. There is a 10” overhang on the bar side of the summer kitchen. This summer kitchen fit along the existing 8’8” space of the wall. The bar side on the right side of the outdoor kitchen, and is perpendicular to the wall is 5’6” in length. Not only were we incredibly happy with how this one turned out, here is what the owner had to say.

Materita – Pelican Preserve Golf Course – Fort Myers Florida
Custom Outdoor Kitchen at Pelican Preserve
Elegant Outdoor Kitchens constructed this beautiful barbecue island in Materita, inside the Pelican Preserve community located right here in Fort Myers, Florida. You will see that the kitchen stops a little short of the wall on the right side. This allowed for the installation of the hurricane shutters, should the need arise. The homeowners received a lot of input from both their designer and siblings regarding the outdoor kitchen style and colors; we were happy to put everything in an easy to share electronic format. Our use of CAD (Computer Aided Design) enabled us to share the conceptual designs with everyone during the design phase. We truly enjoyed all the positive feedback as well.
”Working with Ben and Andrea on our new outdoor kitchen was, without a doubt, the best decision we made when we bought this home! We have had countless compliments from family and friends. From start to finish we received excellent advice and professional service that turned our thoughts and ideas into a beautiful reality. We know our outdoor kitchen will be the centerpiece of all our entertaining in the years to come! We highly recommend Ben and Andrea and Elegant Outdoor Kitchens!”
Randy B., Fort Myers, FL
Ultimately, everyone opted for the softer color of the Light Travertine stacked stone and a level one Giallo Ornamental granite. This combination of materials most definitely complemented one another. These color choices were in line with the original feel of the existing paint and paver colors. In this custom outdoor kitchen, we installed the durable and versatile Blaze 32” four-burner grill, a double drawer & access door combo, under-mount sink with a high-arc faucet and single access and a Blaze 5.2 CU FT outdoor rated refrigerator. An additional feature of this outdoor kitchen (that cannot be seen in the photos that we’ve included) is the 15-year Invisablock sealer applied by the granite manufacturer.
All in all, another beautifully constructed outdoor living area from the pros here at Elegant Outdoor Kitchens of Southwest Florida.

Built Strong Enough to Withstand A Hurricane – Elegant Outdoor Kitchens
Blaze Professional 34-Inch 3 Burner Built-In Gas Grill With Rear Infrared Burner
This is another one of our custom outdoor kitchens that was under construction in south Naples, specifically the Naples Reserve community. This community is very close to Marco Island where Hurricane Irma made landfall as a Category 3 storm on September 10, 2017. We had the base of the cabinet completed and the hood was installed but we were still waiting on the granite. The kitchen did great, we were very proud of the quality of work by our team.
We always knew they did great work, but this was definitely the biggest test and we went two for two in an area that was very near the eye of the storm. The customer selected the Silver Travertine stacked stone & a level 1 Blue Sapphire granite. The 4” backsplash rises to 36” high for a width of 36” centered under the hood. The components included in this outdoor kitchen are the Blaze narrow trash pullout, which comes with a 42 qt trash bin, the Blaze 34” Professional 3-burner grill, the Blaze Professional Power Burner (great for crab boils), for storage there is the double drawer/access door under the grill and the access door under the sink. The hood is a 36” Trade-Wind hood with a 36” wide duct cover.
