Outdoor kitchens & BBQ
Built-in grills and outdoor kitchen appliances for Montgomery County homes
An outdoor kitchen is a construction project with a grill in the middle of it. The masonry, the countertops, the gas and electric runs — that’s your builder or landscaper. The equipment that goes into it, and how it all fits together — that’s us.

Decide the equipment
before the countertop is cut
We supply premium built-in grills and outdoor kitchen appliances, and we help you plan what goes where before anything is poured or framed. Most of our outdoor kitchen work comes through homeowners who are already working with a contractor, or through the contractors themselves. Either way, the appliance decisions are best made early — once the countertop is cut, the grill size is fixed.
What goes into it
The parts of an outdoor kitchen
The grill
Built-in or freestanding, gas or charcoal, sized to how many people you actually cook for. The center of the project, and the one place not to cut corners.
Side burners and cooktops
For sauces, sides, a pot of crabs — anything that doesn’t belong on the grate.
Refrigeration
Outdoor-rated refrigerators, ice makers, and beverage centers. Indoor units don’t survive outside.
Storage, doors, and utilities
Access doors, drawers, and trash pull-outs — plus gas, electric, and water planned before construction, not after.
Planning the patio now? Send a photo of the space and the rough footprint — we’ll tell you what fits, what has to be run before the masonry goes up, and what it takes to keep it usable in February.

Brands we carry
Built for decades,
not seasons
Fire Magic is our lead line for outdoor cooking — built-in grills and kitchen components made to last in the weather. HearthStone Outdoor covers what a grill alone can’t: flat-top griddles, pizza ovens, and fire pits that cook. We know both lines and their cut-out specs well enough to spec a kitchen from a sketch, and we can source other premium lines on request.
Built-in stainless grills, side burners, access doors and drawers, and outdoor refrigeration — a complete kitchen from one line, sized to the way you cook.
Flat-top gas griddles, Genio pizza ovens on a soapstone floor, and cast-iron fire pits that take a cooking ring.
Replacing one piece, not the whole kitchen? A grill head, an access door, a refrigerator that didn’t survive the winter — send the model or a photo of the cutout and we’ll tell you what drops into it.

From sketch
to first cookout
We sell and advise. We don’t build or install — that stays with your contractor.
Already working with a builder? Send us the plans — we’ll spec the equipment.
Good to know
Outdoor kitchen questions we hear every week
Can you help if the kitchen is already built?
Yes. Replacing a grill or adding components into existing cut-outs is common. Send us the dimensions.
Gas or charcoal?
Gas for convenience and everyday use; charcoal for flavor and people who enjoy the process. Some households want both, and there’s equipment for that.
Does an outdoor gas line need a permit?
Yes — and it goes to WSSC Water, not to the county, the same as a gas fireplace. We explain how gas permits work in Montgomery County before you pour the slab.
What does a built-in grill cost?
It depends on size and features, and we quote it in writing rather than guess at a range. The grill is the line item worth protecting: it’s the part you use every week and the part you can’t swap later without touching the stone. Everything around it — masonry, countertops, utility runs — is a separate cost through your builder. Send us the layout and how you cook, and we’ll put real numbers in writing.
Do you build or install?
No. We supply the equipment and plan what goes where; the masonry, countertops, and utility runs stay with your builder or landscaper, and we coordinate with them.
Will the equipment survive a Maryland winter?
Outdoor-rated equipment does, with a cover. Indoor refrigerators and cheap grills don’t. We only recommend units built for it.
I’m a builder or designer — how do you work with the trade?
Directly. We’ll get you spec sheets and cut-out dimensions quickly, we know the product lines, and we understand that your schedule is the schedule.
Which areas do you serve?
We sell and specify outdoor kitchens and built-in grills across Montgomery County, Maryland — Potomac, North Potomac, Bethesda, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Clarksburg, Poolesville, and Darnestown, and nearby communities. We’re based in Boyds, work by appointment, and don’t have a showroom: we come to the house, or work from your photos and plans. Not sure you’re in range? Ask and we’ll tell you straight.
