The L-Shaped Custom Barbecue Island

L-Shaped Custom Outdoor Kitchen by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens of Fort Myers, Florida

A Premium Custom Outdoor Kitchen Build in Estero, Florida

This L-Shaped custom barbecue island by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens turned out amazing. The L-shaped design allows for an increase in counter space for food preparation, along with adding a bar height seating area for guests. The design allowed us to comfortably install additional outdoor kitchen components for our clients as well. Our customers liked it so much that they invited us back to dine with them after its completion.

The L-Shaped BBQ Island project took around 3 weeks to complete, it had its fair share of normal complications during the construction process. Since the customer didn’t have any of the needed electrical, plumbing or an existing wall to build from, elements that we so often see in the newer homes. We coordinated with additional contractors to run the proper plumbing, electrical, and gas needed for the project. This outdoor kitchen project was built in the Toll Brothers community known as the Reserve at Estero, which is in Estero, Florida.

The customers opted for a huge array of outdoor kitchen components for their kitchen. The only thing missing here is the professional chef that prepares the meal. We added some custom LED lighting under the custom cabinetry too. Completing the look that this outdoor living space was built for and that’s entertainment!  Which is something we witnessed first-hand when we were invited back for a BBQ with the homeowner and their friends. The following Bull components were used in this outdoor kitchen:  32” Bull Angus grill, with a door/drawer combo under the grill, a single access door under the sink, a trash pullout, double access doors for additional storage and the Bull’s Premium Outdoor Rated refrigerator.   Here’s what this homeowner had to say.

“Ben did an incredible job from start to finish. He understood what we wanted and incorporated our ideas into his design. He worked hard and finished in the time frame he gave us. We are so happy with our outdoor kitchen! He really gave us an outdoor living and entertaining space that we use all the time. We would recommend him to anyone.”

Circular Backsplash Custom Barbecue Island

Beautiful, Elegant, Custom Barbecue Island Designs by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens

This custom barbecue island by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens is stylish and unique. We opted for a traditional linear layout for the island but designed the backsplash to be a little different from our usual designs. We designed it to have a standard run of the mill 4” St. Cecilia granite backsplash. Adding a little aesthetic twist in the form of a 24” granite radius that’s located directly behind the grill. The circular granite backsplash truly gives it a nice touch. We paired the St. Cecilia granite countertop with the Silver Travertine fascia as seen in the gallery. The overall look, design, layout, and choice of materials ended up hitting the mark in every way. The clients are extremely happy with their custom barbecue island by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens.

The components we installed were all manufactured by Blaze, an extremely popular professional barbecue grill & component company. The Blaze 32” 4-burner Professional Barbecue Grill is one of the most popular grill brands that we install in our custom barbecue island designs. The grill is beautiful, durable, and reliable. We also installed a 4.1 CU FT Outdoor Rated Refrigerator, outdoor sink, as well as a single and double access door. This particular outdoor kitchen design and the installed components eliminates any back & forth trips to the indoor kitchen during the prep and grilling process. There’s really no need for it. They have outdoor refrigeration, dry storage, and a sink with running water that allows them to wash up. The overall project turned out very nice.

Sealing the stacked stone after installing will give it a brilliant gloss that makes a look shiny and clean, even when it’s dirty. It also gives it a certain degree of protection from the outdoor environment.
