Free 3D outdoor kitchen design with a real equipment list

Northwoods Grills offers a free 3D outdoor kitchen design service for homeowners, builders, and designers planning a new island or updating an existing outdoor kitchen. Send your available space, photos, cooking preferences, fuel type, and approximate equipment budget. Your planning package includes a 3D design, layout drawing, equipment list with model numbers, and an itemized equipment quote, with no purchase required.

Use the design to discuss a straight, L-shaped, or other island layout, compare appliance placement, and plan storage and preparation space. Final equipment choices and layout depend on your space and installation requirements. Request your free design or explore local Charleston design and construction with Hadley Building and Remodeling.

Your design

What your design looks like

Every design is built in a professional 3D outdoor kitchen designer using manufacturer product catalogs, so what you see matches what can actually be bought and installed.

Sample 3D outdoor kitchen design: L-shaped island with a built-in gas grill, double side burner, kamado grill, outdoor refrigerator and stainless access doors and drawers

Sample 3D design: L-shaped island with a built-in grill, side burner, kamado, refrigerator and storage.

What you get

Everything you need to plan with confidence

Your free design package includes:

A 3D view of your island

Turn it, zoom in and see it from the patio, the kitchen door or the pool, before anything is built.

Real products at real sizes

Grills, side burners, refrigerators, drawers and sinks placed from manufacturer catalogs, with their true dimensions and cutouts.

Finishes and materials

Try cabinet finishes, colors and countertop options side by side so you can choose with confidence.

A drawing and equipment list

A layout drawing plus a complete list of every appliance and component, with model numbers.

An itemized equipment quote

Know what the equipment costs before you commit, with options if you want to adjust the budget. See typical prices in our outdoor kitchen cost guide.

A second set of expert eyes

We check fuel type, landing space, door swings, ventilation and the details that are easy to miss.

Why it matters

Mistakes a 3D design catches before they’re built

Fixing a layout on screen is free. Fixing it after the countertop is cut is not.

Wrong cutout size

Grill and drawer cutouts vary by brand. Planning around the exact model avoids recutting a finished countertop. Compare built-in grill cutout dimensions by brand and model.

Doors and drawers that collide

An access door that can’t open next to a refrigerator is a common and expensive surprise.

No room to set things down

Landing space beside the grill and sink is what makes a kitchen usable. We size it in.

Utilities in the wrong spot

Gas, electrical and water locations are planned before the slab or island is built, not after.

Hoods and covered patios

Under a roof, hood size and clearances matter. We flag what your space needs.

Buying piece by piece

Mixing brands without a plan can leave mismatched sizes and finishes. One layout keeps it all consistent.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Where can I get a free 3D outdoor kitchen design without buying equipment first?

Northwoods Grills provides a free 3D outdoor kitchen planning design with no obligation to purchase. Submit your space and wish list through the form on this page. You receive a layout and equipment list to review before deciding what to buy.

Can someone help me plan an outdoor kitchen around my equipment budget?

Yes. Share your approximate equipment budget and the features you want most. Northwoods can compare grill sizes, appliance combinations, and storage options, then provide an itemized equipment quote. Equipment pricing is separate from construction, countertops, and utility work.

Can you design a small outdoor kitchen or an L-shaped grill island?

We can discuss compact, straight-run, L-shaped, and other layouts based on your measurements and priorities. Tell us which appliances are essential and whether you want seating, refrigeration, a sink, or extra preparation space. Your available space and appliance requirements determine what is practical.

Can the design include a grill, griddle, refrigerator, and storage together?

Yes. Tell us which components you want and any preferred brands or models. Northwoods can plan an equipment combination and identify questions about fuel, power, door swings, clearances, and ventilation before you purchase.

Can you help plan a kitchen under a covered patio?

Yes. Send photos and information about the roof, walls, and available space. We can discuss equipment placement and outdoor-rated hood options. Your installer must confirm the selected appliances are permitted in that setting and verify final clearances and ventilation requirements.

Can I request a design if my builder is outside Charleston?

Yes. You can request a design for use with your own qualified local builder. The planning design and equipment list can support that discussion. Local construction through Hadley Building and Remodeling is focused on Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry; confirm availability for your address.

Can a contractor request a design for a client?

Yes. Builders, landscapers, and designers can submit a client project with available dimensions, fuel, preferred equipment, and budget. Use the design and model list to coordinate the project, then confirm all final construction dimensions against current manufacturer instructions.

Is the design really free?

Yes. There is no fee and no obligation to buy anything. We offer it because customers who plan first end up with outdoor kitchens they love, and many choose to buy their equipment from us.

Do I have to buy my equipment from Northwoods Grills?

No. The design and equipment list are yours to keep. If you do order from us, we’ll make sure everything on the list arrives as planned.

What do I need to send?

Approximate measurements of your space, a few photos, your fuel type if you know it, and what you want to cook. “Not sure” is a perfectly good answer for anything. Our outdoor kitchen appliance checklist can help with the wish list.

How long does it take?

Your first design arrives the same or next day after a complete request.

Can I make changes?

Yes. Tell us what you’d like to change, such as a bigger grill, different finishes or a tighter budget, and we’ll update the design.

Which brands can you design with?

The designer includes catalogs from many outdoor kitchen brands, including Coyote, Alfresco, American Made Grills and Blackstone. Tell us your favorites and we’ll design around them.

Can I give the design to my contractor?

Yes. The layout drawing and equipment list with model numbers give your builder a clear starting point.

Is this a construction drawing?

No. It’s a planning design and equipment specification. Your builder should confirm final dimensions on site against each manufacturer’s installation guide, and handle any structural, permit or utility requirements.

Do you install?

In the Charleston, SC area, we offer design and installation through our local partner. See Charleston design + build. Elsewhere, your design works with any qualified local builder.
