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.

Fireplaces in Oak Island, NC
About forty minutes from our Leland showroom, down Highway 133 across the bridge.
Fireplace work on Oak Island is mostly outdoor and mostly about placement. Wind off the water and salt exposure both narrow down where a fire feature genuinely works on an elevated property. We handle gas and electric, and we will be honest about spots that are not worth the money.
Indoor and outdoor gas and electric fireplaces — thoughtfully selected, expertly designed, and professionally installed. We'll help you find the right fireplace for your space, style, and needs, then handle the installation from start to finish.
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.
