Golden White - Stacked Stone Sample

Golden White – Stacked Stone Sample

This BBQ Island was constructed with simplicity in mind. We used the popular Golden White stacked stone for the siding facade, combined with Giallo Ornamental Granite Counter-top. The two premium finishing materials melded perfectly into a gorgeous BBQ Island design. Blending perfectly with the existing environment.

The customer opted to use a professional grill head and few outdoor kitchen components they already owned. Another benefit of using Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, we custom build BBQ Islands to specification. Designing the entire outdoor kitchen around products they already owned. What we ended up installing was a 48” Trade-Wind Hood, a Bull single access drawer and Bull Premium outdoor rated Refrigerator. We were able to install a concealed louvered single access door in the back of the BBQ Island cabinet. This was due to the space restrictions we encountered. All in all, another beautiful custom BBQ Island creation from the professionals at Elegant Outdoor Kitchens of Fort Myers, Florida.

Another Elegant Barbecue Island Solution By The Professionals at Elegant Outdoor Kitchens

Whether it’s from concept all the way to completion, or just finishing a pre-existing framed-out project. The professionals here at Elegant Outdoor Kitchens delivered yet another beautiful custom barbecue island. This particular build has it all when it comes to functionality. We were able to integrate a Bull Outdoor 30” Angus Built In LP (Liquid Propane) Gas Grill along with a 32” Double Access Door for quick and reliable access to the hidden away propane tank inside the barbecue island cabinetry. We also included another single access door under the built-in sink, Outdoor Rated Premium Refrigeration unit, trash pullout door, bottle opener with a lid catch, and a single drop-in side burner. Truly a complete outdoor kitchen. This type of barbecue island and outdoor living area addition is sure to alleviate any back and forth trips to your indoor kitchen.

The existing WCI construction layout enabled us to quickly get to the best part of the project, and that’s installing the components and applying the beautiful finishing materials. The barbecue island was finished with a Light Travertine Stone, which worked well with the existing Terracotta paint shown in the gallery. They opted for a Level 2 Delirium Granite for the counter-top finish.

Stacked Stone Galore in Whiskey Creek Custom Outdoor Kitchen Build

Outdoor Kitchen Construction

More Stacked Stone, Please!

This particular outdoor kitchen build was unique. Since most of the surrounding rear wall and another additional wall was covered with the same beautiful stacked stone facade as the BBQ Island cabinetry, and it turned out amazing. We’re sure you can appreciate the level of customization that went into this outdoor kitchen. The plywood in the photos was eventually replaced with a brand-new window once the project was completed. This was truly a flawless integration of the kitchen. Anyone seeing it for the first time would think it was built right into the home when it was first constructed. The stacked stone was special order and gorgeous. A beautiful glass linear tile backsplash was used to accentuate the surrounding stacked stone. The backsplash was framed with bullnose tile. The backsplash accent gave it a very tasteful contrast. A level 4 granite was selected by the customer for use as the islands counter-top. The counter-top granite had striped patterning and had a remarkable color that matched the stacked stone flawlessly.

”These folks do great work! Great quality at great prices.”

Robert G., Fort Myers, FL

“Dueling Grills” Custom Outdoor Kitchen Build

Dueling Grills Commercial Outdoor Kitchen Build Fort Myers, Florida

Dueling Grills Custom Outdoor Kitchen Build – ADA Compliant Commercial Kitchen Configuration

The “Dueling Grills” custom outdoor kitchen build was contracted by an apartment complex near FGCU in Estero. The name says it all, it’s a double grill installation in a single BBQ island cabinet, making its configuration super accessible and optimal for multiple users. While it’s in a residential apartment complex, it’s considered a commercial build. We used the popular California Gold Stacked Stone as the siding facade and used Uba Tuba Granite as the counter-top material. This combination of materials complimented the overall aesthetics of the custom outdoor kitchen build. The “Dueling Grills” build is ADA compliant which makes it accessible to handicapped and special needs individuals.

While it may not be the fanciest configuration in Estero, it’s designed to be straightforward and simple to use. In these commercial style apartment builds, the clientele usually has one goal in mind, and that’s grilling. The BBQ Island is equipped with two Blaze 25” 3-Burner Grills, which output a whopping 42,000 BTU’s per grill. It’s the perfect commercial grill setup.

The Summer Outdoor Kitchen

Dallas White Granite

Using modern design techniques and premium construction & finishing materials. We completed the entire Summer Outdoor Kitchen build in minimal time. Elegant Outdoor Kitchens worked closely with the client to manufacture an outdoor living area that catered to all their cooking, cleaning, and storage needs. We used a beautiful stacked stone finish that’s available through special order. Pairing it with a Dallas White Granite for the counter-top area.

They opted for a Bull 32” 4-Burner Angus Grill installation. We maximized their storage space by installing a combination single door / double drawer storage area below the grill. Not only does it act as an efficient storage station, but it also allows the client to access the grill for maintenance purposes. The built-in single side burner will allow them to quickly heat up or cook side dishes while grilling. The convenience of a sink & faucet system will make washing up after handling meat a breeze. Access to the sink components can are made through the single louvered access door. By installing a premium outdoor rated refrigerator, they’ll only have to walk a few feet to access their cold storage.

This outdoor kitchen build is a great example of an affordable outdoor kitchen/convenience center for all their summer parties. The professional grade cooking & stainless components that were installed allow for both a professional cooking experience and introduce elegant aesthetic appeal.
