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 Wrightsville Beach, NC
About thirty minutes from our Leland showroom, out through Wilmington.
A grill at the beach lives a harder life than one twenty minutes inland. We will point you toward the constructions that hold up to salt air and away from the ones that will disappoint you in two seasons, and we will be straight about the difference. Delivery, assembly, and setup are included on the island.
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 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.

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.
