Outdoor Kitchens

Three ways to buy an outdoor kitchen

Complete island packages include the modular cabinets, the grill, side burner, sink and often a refrigerator, matched by Sunstone so every cut-out fits. You add a countertop. Base cabinet packages are the same cabinets without appliances, for people who already own a built-in grill or want to choose their own fridge and sink. Design packages contain the appliances, doors and drawers plus a free building plan; a mason or framer builds the island from stone, steel studs or welded steel.

Why 304 stainless steel

All Sunstone cabinets and appliances are 304 stainless steel, the grade that resists rust and weather better than the 430 steel used in many budget kitchens. The cabinets snap together on leveling legs, so a handy owner can assemble an island in an afternoon and rearrange it later.

Layouts and sizes

Straight runs from 76 to 252 inches, an L-shaped base package of about 107 x 132 inches, and larger packages that can be set up as a U around a seating area. Measure your patio first: most islands are 28 to 30 inches deep, and the grill needs clearance from walls and overhangs.

What is not included

Countertops are not part of any package; granite, concrete or tile is added by you or your installer. Gas, water and electrical connections are done by your trades. Design packages do not include the island base.

Gas, propane and power

Grills and side burners come as Liquid Propane or Natural Gas at the same price. Choose natural gas if a gas line reaches the patio; propane runs from a tank stored in the grill cabinet. Refrigerators and the pellet grill need a weatherproof outdoor outlet.

Delivery and returns

Every outdoor kitchen ships free to the lower 48 states from Sunstone in Texas, usually within 3 business days. Islands arrive by freight, curbside with a liftgate; grills and burners ship by ground. Unused items in the original packaging can be returned within 60 days with a 15% restocking fee; see our refund policy.

Questions about outdoor kitchens

How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?

Our complete islands run from $10,234 (Caprice, 76-inch) to $27,486 (Big-Texan, 252-inch). Cabinet-only packages start at $8,587, built-in grills at $2,423. Add a countertop and the gas and water hookups to the budget.

Can I install it myself?

The cabinets snap together without tools beyond a level and a wrench. Gas and electrical connections should be done by licensed trades.

Do I need a countertop?

Yes. The cabinets are open on top so you can fit granite, quartz, concrete or tile. None of the packages include a countertop.

Heat the seating area with an electric patio heater or add a fire table for the evening.
