Jeff, owner of What the Grill, did a nice job of consulting with us to help us design our outdoor kitchen. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. So far, I’ve cooked appetizers before dinner (we ate dinner out with friends) and this morning I cooked breakfast outside. The Primo ceramic grill is wonderful.

Grills & Smokers in Carolina Beach, NC
About thirty five minutes from our Leland showroom, through Wilmington and down Highway 421.
For a Pleasure Island property, the right grill is usually the one that survives salt air and guests who have never used it before. We will point you at constructions that hold up and controls that are hard to get wrong, then deliver, assemble, and set it up ready to cook.
Gas, charcoal, pellet, kamado, or smoker — choosing the right grill comes down to how you like to cook. That's why we focus on brands we know firsthand, including FireMagic, TrueFlame, Blaze, Napoleon, Delta Heat, Primo, Coyote, American Made Grills, and Recteq. We've installed them, serviced them, and cooked on them ourselves. Come see them in the showroom, and we'll help you understand the real differences — not just what's listed on the spec sheet.
About Carolina Beach
A good share of Carolina Beach outdoor living gets built for guests rather than just for the owners. Rental and second-home properties on Pleasure Island need setups that are durable, easy for someone else to operate, and simple to shut down between stays. That points toward different choices than a primary residence would call for.

Everything we do in Carolina Beach →Common questions
What works best for a rental property?
Durability and simplicity. Equipment that guests cannot easily damage or misconfigure, finishes that survive salt air and heavy use, and a setup that is quick to clean and shut down between stays. We can also point you toward configurations that keep maintenance down when you are not on the island.
