Stono Outdoor Living Featured on The Barbecue Lab

Recently, Stono Outdoor Living was featured in The Barbecue Lab’s new outdoor kitchen setup on YouTube. The Barbecue Lab knows grilling and outdoor kitchens; they’ve tested countless grills, vacuum sealers, accessories, and more for their community of food lovers. Despite their extensive knowledge, they encountered some common challenges during the DIY process of their outdoor kitchen. That’s where Stono Outdoor Living stepped in to offer an easy solution for an elevated grilling experience that will help foodies all over the world learn how to grill their favorite dishes. 

Why The Barbecue Lab Chose Stono Outdoor

It’s a shame that most have no idea about the many prefabricated options that make creating an outdoor kitchen take less than an hour to set up. The Barbecue Lab found themselves in this same dilemma. For their YouTube channel, they took on the ambitious project of building an outdoor kitchen from scratch, unaware of the extensive time, expertise, and effort required to complete such a project properly. Still, this hopeful group of family and friends came together as a team to put in more than 11 months of back-breaking work to set up an outdoor kitchen worthy of a studio and admitted it left them with some physical issues, both for them and the kitchen. 

They spoke of the fact that there is no single, comprehensive guide to DIY an outdoor kitchen—this is because it’s such a nuanced and personal project. Everyone’s choices—grills, aesthetics, and specific needs—vary too much for a one-size-fits-all approach. Add to that the professional-level skills honed over years, that can’t be easily taught in a quick tutorial, and you can see why it’s hard to find a manual for this sort of thing. If such a guide existed, it would likely be a professional course, not a simple DIY booklet. 

That’s why prefabricated options like the islands at Stono Outdoor Living are so incredible. We already have experts with years of honed knowledge, designs that make everything look great, and the components we know make for a professional cooking experience. Once The Barbecue Lab and our team worked together, we came up with a stunning solution for an outdoor kitchen for their studio–and instead of taking a year, the setup took just 60 minutes.

A Closer Look at the Outdoor Kitchen

The Barbecue Lab understands outdoor kitchens, so it’s no surprise that they chose a TruFlame grill for their 92” Sullivan Island. By choosing a high-quality grill designed for exceptional heat control and consistent cooking results, they can keep up with their professional standards. Now, their equipment is just as reliable as the team behind it. 

Charcoal Finish and Other Options

When customizing their outdoor kitchen to suit the aesthetics of their backyard studio, they chose charcoal as the finish color. Like our many other colors, this finish is powder-coated aluminum. Our powder-coated aluminum frames and stainless-steel hardware resist warping, rust, and corrosion, which is good news for anyone living on the coast or in unpredictable weather.

Access Doors and Smart Storage

Beneath the grill, they chose our standard 30x20 double access door to quickly access their grill's fuel and swap it out when needed. Next, they added a handy hidden trash can, as they stated that grilling can get messy. But if those don’t suit your needs, Stono Outdoor Living has plenty more options. 

Accessories Tailored to Your Workflow

On the other side of the kitchen, they chose a three-drawer dry storage for their utensils, seasonings, and accessories. Our dry storage options have stainless steel frames that seal tightly against the outside elements. Of course, all our drawers and cabinets are soft-closed–these small details take an outdoor kitchen from great to professional. 

Stono Outdoor Kitchen Products are Designed for Every Lifestyle

Whether you are a master griller like the team at The Barbecue Lab, or this is your first time working with an outdoor kitchen, you can’t go wrong with any of our configurations at Stono Outdoor Living. We offer many choices to suit any need you might have, from islands to cabinetry and custom-built outdoor solutions.

Some of the features in The Barbecue Lab’s design, and could be yours too, are: 

Effortless Upkeep and Everyday Enjoyment: Our islands are incredibly easy to maintain. Instead of painstaking scrubbing or shieling equipment from the elements, our islands can get the car wash treatment. Simply hose it down, wipe it clean, and get back to grilling. 

A Perfect Fit—Guaranteed: One of the features that most excited The Barbecue Lab was our guaranteed fit promise. When choosing your Island, it will come with a grill (one you pick with us, one you already own, etc). We cut the Island to fit the grill’s dimensions perfectly. If you receive your Island and your grill does not fit precisely, we promise we will make that right. This level of customer care mirrors The Barbecue Lab team’s own culinary philosophy: every detail counts, and every component should work together seamlessly.
