Covered Outdoor Kitchen on W 42nd St, Garden Oaks, Houston 77018
Neil’s back patio in Garden Oaks already had a roof and a view of the yard. What it needed was a real outdoor kitchen. Kitchen Remodel Masters Houston built a brick island along the back wall, finished it white to match the house, set a light stone countertop on top and cut it for a built-in gas grill and a kamado cooker. A cedar slat wall with a mounted TV turns the patio into the spot where the family watches the game.
Finished outdoor kitchen
How it was built
- Brick base. Laid on the existing patio slab with framed openings for the grill, fridge and access doors, then finished white. Brick is our standard base for Houston outdoor kitchens because it does not rot, warp or rust. Read about custom grill islands.
- Stone countertop. Templated after the base was set, cut in-house for the grill and the round kamado opening, and lifted into place by the crew. See which countertops hold up outdoors in Houston.
- Appliances. Stainless built-in gas grill, a green ceramic kamado set flush in the counter, an outdoor-rated refrigerator and stainless doors for storage underneath.
- Cedar accent wall. Cedar boards cut on site and mounted as a slat wall behind the counter, with the TV centered above the grill.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the outdoor kitchen built from?
A brick base laid on the patio slab, finished in white to match the house, with a light stone countertop set on top. Brick and stone do not rot or rust in Houston humidity the way a wood-framed island does.
What appliances are built in?
A stainless built-in gas grill, a green kamado-style ceramic cooker set into the counter, an outdoor refrigerator and stainless access doors for storage.
Is the outdoor kitchen covered?
Yes. It sits under the existing covered patio, with a cedar slat accent wall and a mounted TV above the counter. A roof is what lets the stone, the TV and the fridge last outdoors in Houston.
How long does an outdoor kitchen take?
This one ran in stages: brick base, appliance openings, stone template and set, then the cedar wall. Most outdoor kitchens of this size take two to three weeks of on-site work once materials are in.
