At Cookin' Outdoors, we believe your backyard should feel like an extension of your home — functional, beautiful, and built for gathering. This recent outdoor kitchen project in Lithia combined luxury finishes, premium appliances, and custom craftsmanship to create a space designed for entertaining year-round.

Custom Concrete Cabinetry with Stone Veneer Finish

For this project, we constructed 11 linear feet of custom concrete cabinetry on an existing concrete slab foundation. The outdoor kitchen was designed for durability in the Florida climate while still delivering a clean, upscale aesthetic.

The façade was finished with elegant stone veneer, while the back side of the structure featured stucco finishing on the existing 8-inch house screen wall for a polished appearance from every angle.

To complete the look, we installed:

• Granite countertops
• Matching granite backsplash
• Custom granite cap details

The granite surfaces not only elevate the design visually, but also provide long-lasting durability against heat, weather, and everyday use.

Premium TrueFlame Outdoor Appliances

This Lithia outdoor kitchen was equipped with a full suite of premium outdoor cooking appliances designed for serious backyard entertaining.

Built-In Grill Station

The centerpiece of the kitchen is the TrueFlame 32" 4 Burner Gas Grill paired with a 32-inch double access door below the grill for convenient storage and utility access.

This powerful built-in grill delivers:

• High-performance cooking power
• Even heat distribution
• Durable stainless steel construction
• Professional outdoor cooking capability

Double Side Burner Setup

To maximize cooking versatility, we also installed the TrueFlame Double Side Burner with matching double access drawers underneath.

This setup gives homeowners the ability to:

• Boil seafood
• Prepare side dishes
• Heat sauces
• Cook full meals outdoors without needing to go inside

Functional Outdoor Kitchen Storage

Storage and usability are just as important as aesthetics in an outdoor kitchen design.

This project included:

• Narrow pull-out trash storage
• Stainless steel access doors and drawers
• Integrated organization solutions

We also installed a stainless steel undermount bar sink with a pull-out faucet and additional access storage beneath the sink area for convenience while entertaining.

Outdoor Refrigeration for Easy Entertaining

To complete the entertainment-ready setup, we installed the TrueFlame 24" Outdoor Rated Refrigerator.

Having a built-in outdoor refrigerator allows homeowners to keep:

• Drinks cold
• Ingredients nearby
• Food prep accessible
• Guests outside longer without constant trips indoors

Utility Connections & Final Touches

This outdoor kitchen was fully integrated with the home’s existing utility infrastructure.

Our team completed:

• Plumbing connections to existing drain and water lines
• Electrical hookups for appliance outlets and GFI convenience outlets
• Natural gas connection to the existing NG line
• Screen repair work to refresh the surrounding enclosure

Every detail was carefully completed to ensure the outdoor kitchen operates seamlessly while maintaining a clean and professional finish.

Designed for Florida Outdoor Living

Outdoor kitchens continue to be one of the best investments homeowners can make for both lifestyle and property value — especially in Florida where outdoor living is possible nearly year-round.

This custom Lithia project blends:

• Luxury design
• Durable materials
• Professional-grade cooking equipment
• Functional entertaining space

The result is a backyard built for family dinners, weekend cookouts, game days, and unforgettable evenings outdoors.
