Decades in outdoor kitchens
as builders, as manufacturers, as reps.
Now as designers for you — so the first time is the only time you build it.
*Lifetime Support is provided so long as Patio Experience LLC remains in business and the original purchaser owns the product.
Where Are You in the Process?
Every project starts differently. Some clients have the model picked and a contractor on standby. Others have a backyard and a budget. Both belong here.

We Are Not a Catalog. We Are People Who've Built What You're Looking For.
We Have Cooked on Most Brands in the Market
Our recommendations come from thousands of hours of actual cooking across every brand and model in our catalog. When we say the Aurora A660i sears better than the competition, it is because we have done the side-by-side test.
We Account for Your Climate, Elevation, and Wind
A grill that performs in Miami does not perform the same at 7,000 feet in Colorado. Ambient temperature, elevation, and wind direction all affect output. We account for these before recommending a single product.
We Design and Fabricate the Island Around the Grill
You picked the grill. We design and fabricate the aluminum-frame island to fit your exact backyard, appliances, and utility locations. Ships to your door. Assemble in a day.
Your Partner for as Long as You Own the Grill
Setup help, parts sourcing, troubleshooting, manufacturer advocacy. Same team. Not a call center. Not a chatbot. The person who sold you the grill answers the phone when something needs attention.
Every kitchen we design starts with the same 3 questions: 1) what part of the country is the grill being installed in (elevation and BTU requirements)? 2) how many people do you cook for (size)? 3) and what do you typically cook (flow and BTU requirements)? Because a $15,000 outdoor kitchen built with wrong equipment and the wrong workflow, is just an expensive counter.

Common Questions
Answers from people who have built outdoor kitchens, not a help desk.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Every product ships free to the lower 48 states. Hawaii, Alaska, and U.S. territories are quoted separately. Custom islands ship palletized via freight with liftgate delivery to your driveway. Most orders arrive within 5-10 business days; custom islands take 3-4 weeks from design approval.
What brands do you carry?
We carry Fire Magic, Summerset, Primo, Blaze, American Outdoor Grill (AOG), and WildFire. Fire Magic is our primary recommendation for buyers who want commercial-grade performance and the longest warranty in the industry.
How does the custom island process work?
You share your backyard measurements, grill and appliance selections, and finish preferences. We design a custom aluminum-frame island to those exact specs. You approve the layout, we build it, palletize it, and ship it to your door. Your local contractor applies the stone or tile veneer, and countertop. Most clients can cook within a week of delivery.
Can I talk to someone before I buy?
That is exactly how we prefer it. Start your Builder’s Blueprint — a 30-minute 1:1 with a Senior Partner followed by a full Blueprint Package in 5 business days. Custom Island Layout, 3D Rendering, and a 30-day price-locked written estimate. $0 cost. You leave with the plan whether or not you buy from us.
What does Lifetime Support actually mean?
It means the person who helped you select your grill is the same person you call in year five when you need a replacement igniter. We handle parts sourcing, manufacturer warranty claims, troubleshooting, and setup guidance. Same team, no ticket system, no hold music.
30 minutes with a Senior Partner, not a salesperson. No obligation.
