By In every region there are hot summers and cold winters. A good outdoor kitchen needs to withstand these elements. Concrete is the best material for outdoor kitchens. It is fireproof and, with the right engineering, installation, and sealing, can last for many years of fun parties.
Why Choose Concrete?
We’ve solved the issue of concrete cracking, which happens because of its low tensile strength. We use fiber or steel-reinforced concrete and the right aggregates. We’ll even adjust the concrete mix to ensure it’s as strong as possible, considering the weather on the day it’s poured.
Concrete BBQs can be customized to your exact needs. You can choose the color, thickness, height, and finish, as well as any specific features you require, like drawers, a hidden propane tank, a sink, or other structures.
Concrete BBQs are also affordable. They are cheaper than stainless steel, which can be up to six times more expensive.
Concrete can create whatever you want for your space. We offer the best outdoor concrete BBQs that are custom-made to your specifications. Our team will design a stylish BBQ that has everything you need to entertain guests or spend quality time with your family. It’s built to last through many winters and summers.
Compare this to a cookie-cutter, prefabricated outdoor kitchen based on someone else’s design.
Choose from a Variety of Outdoor Concrete BBQs
You can decide how complex you want your concrete BBQ to be. It can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. We offer a movable bowl that looks like a fire pit, and if you prefer.
We can also create a complete set of concrete furniture. This can include a circular or rectangular concrete bench around a custom-designed concrete table, and a concrete bar to serve drinks. All of this can be within a cozy covered patio with a fireplace.
Picture Your Space
Imagine your space, and we can build it. You’ve seen many features for an outdoor concrete BBQ system that will bring out your inner Masterchef. It’s easier to decide if you already know your preferred fuel type.
You can use charcoal, propane, or even your gas line to light up outdoor concrete BBQs. Gas or electric lines can be hidden to prevent unsightly connections and trip hazards.
Consider an Outdoor Sink
Think about the comfort of those who will be working, including yourself. If the kitchen sink is far from the BBQ, it can be a hassle to move back and forth. A professional will need to install hidden plumbing for an outdoor sink. It must be properly insulated and protected.
Choose the Right Flooring
You should also choose the right flooring to prevent slipping when bringing in food and equipment. You don’t want to lose a piece of meat by dropping it on the dirt, or have BBQ sauce stain your flooring.
We will build safe and beautiful flooring for you. Concrete flooring is easy to maintain and can handle lots of foot traffic. It can be installed on your patio, pool deck, or garden path. It is sealed with a two-part, non-slip polyurethane to preserve its color and design.
Cabinets and Drawers
With fully enclosed cabinets and drawers in your concrete BBQ, you will have to move fewer items. On your island, we can install sealed drawers made of stainless steel or wood. These can include not only your standard supplies but also a paper towel rack, a removable garbage can, a warming plate, a pullout dishwasher rack, or an ice cooler.
Different drawers will have different depths. For example, your utensils should be placed in a shallower drawer. A paper towel drawer usually tilts out. Spices and sauces can be stored in the larger drawers.
Add a Mini-Fridge
Do you want a mini-fridge? You can have an outdoor refrigerator installed inside a cabinet so you don’t need to go inside for refills. Remember that the refrigerators you choose must be rated for outdoor use.
Propane Tank Storage
You can use one of the cabinets on your concrete BBQ island to store a propane tank. It will be covered with a cabinet door that opens easily so you can insert the cylinder. The cylinder will be attached to the grill by a string through a cutout on the top or back of the island.
BBQ Grill and Smokehouse
If you love meat and have plenty of time, you can install both a concrete BBQ grill and a smokehouse. This is great for cooking a slow-smoked brisket with your own rub on oak or hickory. You can also cook whole chickens or turkeys.
