The kitchen that lives outside.

Most outdoor kitchens are built with the same steel used indoors. A mile from the water, that steel starts bleeding rust within two seasons. We design it, we supply it, and a licensed contractor sets it.

Materials

Built for salt air

304 is the industry default, and it rusts within a mile of the ocean. 316 adds molybdenum — it is the alloy specified for boat decks. On a coastal property that is not a finish upgrade, it is the difference between ten years and two.

316 marine grade
Molybdenum in the alloy resists chloride pitting. It is what boat decks and coastal railings are specified in, for exactly this reason. Costs meaningfully more, and it is wasted money well inland. It is also only as good as its fasteners — 316 panels on 304 hinges will still streak.
304 stainless
The industry default for good reason: strong, clean, repairable, and widely available in every appliance size you might want. Within a mile of open salt water it pits and streaks, usually inside two seasons. Most rust complaints in this category are 304 that was sold where 316 belonged.
Powder coat over aluminium
Will not rust. Light, quick to install, available in colours stainless cannot do. It chips, and every chip is somewhere salt air can reach bare metal. Honest about its limits inland; a poor bet on an exposed coastal deck.

Not every project needs the top of that list. On plenty of sites it is money better spent elsewhere, and we will tell you which one you are before you pay for it.

Where this comes from

Fifteen years of outdoor kitchens. In the wrong climate.

BBQ Florida comes out of BBQ Québec — three stores, a team of thirty-five, and hundreds of custom outdoor kitchens built in a place that spends five months a year under snow.

That sounds like the opposite of a qualification. It is actually the point. When your build has to survive a freeze-thaw cycle, road salt and a forty degree swing, you learn very quickly which materials are honest and which ones are a finish.

Florida punishes the same shortcuts differently — salt air instead of road salt, relentless UV instead of frost, and a storm season instead of ice. The discipline transfers. The supplier list, the stone and the steel spec do not, so we rebuilt those from scratch for this market.

The full story

Where we work

24 cities. What each one actually demands.

Your address decides the specification long before anyone talks about style. 316 marine-grade stainless within about a mile of salt water — and plain 304 everywhere else, because inland the upgrade buys you nothing. Find your city below — its page says what to spend the money on there, and where spending more changes nothing.

18 more cities across Florida, each with its own page. Not on the list? tell us where you are.

Before you ask

What people ask before they spend the money.

Will my outdoor kitchen rust in Florida?

It depends almost entirely on the alloy and how close you are to salt water. Within about a mile of the Gulf or the Atlantic, standard 304 stainless pits and streaks — often inside two seasons. 316 marine-grade adds molybdenum and is the alloy specified for boat decks. Further inland, 304 is usually the right call and 316 is money better spent elsewhere. The most common failure we see is not the wrong panel, it is 316 panels hung on 304 hinges and screws.

What happens to an outdoor kitchen in a hurricane?

A properly anchored masonry or steel-framed island generally stays put. The vulnerabilities are the loose components: doors, lids, light fixtures and anything freestanding. Anchoring belongs in the specification from the start, and we flag what should be removed or secured ahead of a storm.

Will my HOA approve it?

Usually, if the submission is prepared the way the board expects. Most rejections we see are for a missing elevation or an unresolved venting detail rather than for the kitchen itself. In communities with an architectural review process, we draw to the community's own design guidelines before we draw to preference.

What does an outdoor kitchen actually cost?

A single island built around a good grill starts around $8,000. Most full builds land between $30,000 and $150,000. Estate projects — long runs, several cooking stations, stone and a covered structure — go well beyond that. The spread is not vagueness: it is the difference between one appliance and an outdoor room. What moves the number most is rarely the grill; it is the cabinetry, the stone, and how far the utilities have to travel.
