Full outdoor kitchen with grill + sink

A full outdoor kitchen with grill and sink turns a patio or pool deck into an extension of the home's main kitchen — built-in grill, side burner, refrigerator, sink with running water, prep counter space, and weather-resistant cabinetry.

What this project is

How full outdoor kitchen with grill + sink actually works.

A full outdoor kitchen with grill and sink turns a patio or pool deck into an extension of the home's main kitchen — built-in grill, side burner, refrigerator, sink with running water, prep counter space, and weather-resistant cabinetry. Northeast Florida's climate (mild winters, long entertaining season) makes outdoor kitchens one of the highest-use exterior investments per square foot.

The build requires gas line extension (most installations are gas, not electric), water supply and drainage to the sink (often a slab cut on existing patios), 240V or 120V electrical for the refrigerator and outlets, and weatherproof cabinet construction (marine-grade stainless or weather-rated outdoor cabinet systems).

What Mark watches for

The execution details that decide outcome.

  • Cabinet material. Marine-grade stainless or rated outdoor materials only; standard kitchen cabinets fail within years.

  • Sink drainage. Many slab patios need slab cut for drain; plan vs. dry sink alternative.

  • Gas line sizing. The grill plus side burner draws significant BTU; existing gas service may need upsize.
