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.

Design & Installation in Oak Island, NC
About forty minutes from our Leland showroom, down Highway 133 across the bridge.
Design on Oak Island starts with the structure. Deck loading, gas routing, and salt exposure all shape what is actually buildable before anyone talks about finishes. We handle consultation, design, and installation, and we would rather find the constraints on site than discover them mid-build.
Great outdoor spaces take more than great products. We provide expert guidance, professional installation, and ongoing support from the first conversation through the finished project. From a simple grill upgrade to a fully customized outdoor living space, every project receives the same attention to detail and commitment to quality. We work with homeowners, builders, contractors, and designers throughout southeastern North Carolina and partner with experienced hardscape professionals to bring custom masonry outdoor kitchens to life.
About Oak Island
Oak Island brings two constraints together that neither Leland nor Wilmington has to deal with. Salt exposure is severe, and a great many homes sit elevated on pilings with the outdoor living space on a deck rather than on grade. That changes almost everything about a build.

Everything we do in Oak Island →Common questions
Can you build an outdoor kitchen on an elevated deck?
Often yes, but the design has to respect what the deck can carry. Full masonry islands are usually the wrong choice on an elevated structure. Lighter polymer or stainless cabinetry, freestanding appliances, and careful gas routing are what we normally reach for. If the structure will not take it, we will tell you.
