Outdoor Kitchen Advice
Posted on 12/27/24 at 10:12 pm

Looking to finally build my outdoor kitchen this year and trying to get an estimate on what I should expect to pay and see if anyone has any recommendations for someone in Baton Rouge to do the job. This is the design I came up with for what I want. L shaped kitchen (approx. 9'6" x 6'6"). Already have gas lines and plumbing lines stubbed out. Estimating about $8,000 for the appliances/storage. Trying to get a ballpark for total job cost. Thoughts?

Get a large enough faucet for gumbo pot. I wouldn't worry about a gas line unless you boiling crawfish or something.

Really don't like that design. At the very least you are making it extremely hard to utilize any cabinet space to the left of the sink with that pit located where it is. And, speaking of the sink, why locate it so close to the pit area???? Move it more to the right on the countertop so you're not standing there with the pit on your left-------especially when using the pit with the heat coming off it.

Agree with moving the sink. You want wide open counter close to the grill

yea, Id move the sink all the way to the right and put the trash bin in the corner. I did something like that with mine. It also lined up more with the stubbed out plumbing that I had.
That pit area is always tough to utilize. IS that design by RTA?

Noted on moving the sink. The reason I put it there is b/c that's roughly where my water lines are stubbed out on my wall, but if they can move it over to the right more despite where the plumbing is stubbed out at, I'm cool with that. Yes, I used the RTA site to do my basic design just to show my basic wish list, but not necessarily married it. The long section will be along the wall and the short section with the grill/burner will be at the end of my covered area. Figured putting them out there, they would naturally vent into the air without needing to install a hood,

I will just tell you this about RTA. I used them to do my full kitchen. I was waiting on my home to be completed and I worked with them (Clayton was my designer) and I dont have one single complaint about using them. They were fantastic to work with and the experience was fantastic. We changed the design a few times and they were very patient. This was my first outdoor kitchen.
They shipped the unit when they said they would, they assigned me a assembly guy who called me and went over the assembly of the kitchen. It was straight forward to assemble if you can use a level and have some basic skills. They send everything you need with the kit including clamps and bits.
The kitchen itself is very high quality and solid. You will need some manpower assembling it. I did it myself with the help of my wife and neighbor. Ive had mine now almost a year and not one single issue with it
If you decide to use them and have any questions, you can email me at lanierspots@gmail.com and I will be happy to help.
Like I said, I am always worried that people wont hold up their end of the deal but those guys were top notch.
I have a U shapped with two 6 foot sections and one 7 foot. I did the Coyote pellet smoker, 30" coyote flat top and 24" fridge. I also got the big sink, someone here recommended the bigger sink, and am glad I did. It is very funtionable. I did not get a trash bin because I didnt want to leave trash out there all the time. I just have a regular can that I throw a bag in when I am cooking out there and then take it to my big trash can. We pretty much use that kitchen every single day. I have some fish to clean out there this morning then I am going to be cooking hogfish on the flat top later today
It is a great product in a time where it is hard to get great products.

Triple the size of that sink....

Counterspace is most important
You need a place for the cookin shite
Need paper towel drawer
Use metal framing and stucco exterior
No rust burn or paint
Just hose off

The gas line is for the grill and stovetop so he doesn’t have to mess with propane bottles. The gas will always be there ready to use.

It is much bigger than you think it is. Its also very deep. It looks like the same sink that I selected which is the biggest they have. I can wash huge pans in mine and big pots if need be. I just measured mine, it is 18" x 15" x 11" deep inside dimensions
The image just messes with the perception

What’s the brand of appliances and storage?
Posted on 12/28/24 at 6:52 pm to shoelessjoe
Not definite on anything yet, but probably go Blaze appliances and either Blaze or BBQGuys for cabinets/drawers. Still in preliminary planning stages and trying to get an idea of what this layout might cost me.
Posted on 12/28/24 at 8:01 pm to jfw3535
I have all Blaze appliances in mine. I ordered mine online and it was cheaper than going through BBQ Guys. I have the griddle, double burner, gas grill, refrigerator, 2triple cabinets with single entry door and 1 double access door and a garbage can. I want to say I was around 10k for mine all natural gas. Service is great!

Zero counter space next to the grill will suckass.

I dont know if you are going with a grill or pellet smoker but the new built in smoker will do almost anything a gas grill can do and smoke

Also if you do any boiling have a quick connect installed to hook up to NG and also have the, bump your service pressure if it isn’t already.

You need at least 18 inches between cooler and bbq pit to put trays of cooked food or empty tray or tray of food ready to cook. You will need small LED down lights on ceiling above your cooking area for night time cooking or bbq.

I just put in a 30” x 20” and wish I went bigger…..just my opinion!
Enjoy your kitchen, I use mine daily!
