Outdoor Kitchens in Austin, Texas.
Blaze, Coyote, Bull, and Big Green Egg built-ins on masonry islands — with the gas, water, and electrical done right.
The hard part of an Austin outdoor kitchen is usually underground. Running gas, water, and electrical out to an island often means trenching through caliche hardpan or limestone shelf, not soft dirt, and the routing has to clear existing footings, patios, and irrigation. We plan those runs before the masonry goes up, so the utilities are done right the first time instead of chased after the fact.
Central Texas plans around hard freezes now, so we protect the plumbing with proper depth, shutoffs, and drainage that let you winterize an outdoor sink before a cold snap. On top of that groundwork we build Blaze, Coyote, Bull, or Big Green Egg into masonry islands finished to match the house, with the gas line sized correctly for the grill it feeds.
Austin questions
They are trenched from the house to the island, which in much of Austin means cutting through caliche or limestone rather than loose soil. We plan the routing to clear footings, slabs, and irrigation, set the gas line to the right size for the appliances, and pull the plumbing and gas permits the work requires.
It can, if it is built for it. We run supply lines at proper depth and add shutoffs and drainage so an outdoor sink can be isolated and drained ahead of a hard freeze, the kind the region now plans around each winter. Skipping that is how outdoor plumbing splits in January.
The gas and electrical work generally do. City of Austin and the surrounding counties want the gas line, and often the electrical, permitted and inspected, which protects you as much as it satisfies code. We handle those submittals so a built-in grill and its fuel supply are signed off rather than improvised.
