Outdoor Kitchen Ideas under $10,000

As a supplier of stone outdoor kitchens for the last 10 years, we understand how hard it is to get an outdoor kitchen installed for under $10,000 dollars. This is especially hard, if you want a great grill!  This is one of the reasons we picked up an outdoor kitchen line made from powder coated Aluminum. The versatility of these products creates an infinite amount of layouts. Our outdoor kitchen ideas below all range from mid price of $4,000- $10,000 all Basically, without the labor to prepare for a stone outdoor kitchen (i.e. pouring a footing), and the labor for the stone veneer and build-out, it’s now possible to get a custom outdoor kitchen for under $10,000 dollars using our powder-coated aluminum outdoor kitchen cabinets. All of our outdoor kitchens are produced and manufactured in Indiana, USA at Challenger Designs LLC.

To demonstrate this, we decided to show you Outdoor Kitchen Ideas in 3 different set ups that could be built for under $10k. Clearly, by adding or subtracting from each design, you will be able to get an idea of what kitchen is best for you. We have also included a ‘low to high’ for each design, as different features have different values to individual people. Here are the assumptions used:
