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 Wrightsville Beach, NC
About thirty minutes from our Leland showroom, out through Wilmington.
Design work at Wrightsville Beach is half layout and half material selection. Getting the second part wrong is expensive here, so we spend real time on it. We handle consultation, design, and installation, and we work alongside whatever builder or designer you already have on the project.
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 Wrightsville Beach
Wrightsville Beach is where material choices stop being cosmetic. Salt air is relentless here, and it finds cheap stainless, ordinary hardware, and untreated cabinetry within a season or two. Everything we specify for the island is chosen with that in mind, from marine-grade polymer cabinetry to the grade of stainless on the grill itself.

Everything we do in Wrightsville Beach →Common questions
What holds up to salt air at the beach?
Grade matters more than brand. We specify marine-grade polymer and higher-grade stainless for island properties, along with hardware and fasteners chosen for salt exposure. Covers help, and so does rinsing. What fails fastest is builder-grade stainless and standard cabinet hardware, which is exactly what we steer you away from here.
