Built-In Grills & Outdoor Kitchens: Build the Backyard Cooking Setup You Actually Want
A built-in grill is one of the highest-impact investments you can make in a backyard. Unlike a freestanding cart grill that sits on a patio and gets moved around seasonally, a built-in grill anchors a permanent outdoor kitchen — a dedicated cooking, entertaining, and gathering space that becomes part of the home. At Omaha Sports & Games, our Built-In Grills & Outdoor Kitchens collection is built around Kokomo Grills — one of the most respected names in outdoor kitchen construction — covering built-in gas grills, charcoal grills, kamado grills, pizza ovens, and every accessory needed to complete a professional-grade outdoor kitchen island. Everything is backed by our Lowest Price Guarantee.
Why Choose a Built-In Grill Over a Freestanding Cart Grill
The case for a built-in grill comes down to permanence, performance, and aesthetics. A freestanding cart grill is portable by design — it compromises on size, stability, and integration to preserve the ability to move. A built-in grill drops into a countertop or island frame with no compromise: it uses the full footprint it needs, anchors solidly, and sits flush with surrounding surfaces the way a range sits in an indoor kitchen.
From a cooking standpoint, built-in grills from Kokomo Grills deliver commercial-grade heat output and precision temperature control that most freestanding grills can't match. From an aesthetic standpoint, a built-in grill transforms a backyard from "a patio with a grill on it" into a genuine outdoor kitchen — a space that looks intentional, functions efficiently, and holds its value as a home improvement. If you're serious about outdoor cooking and entertaining, built-in is the right direction.
Kokomo Grills: Built-In Gas Grills
The gas grill lineup from Kokomo Grills covers three configurations, letting buyers match cooking capacity to their island size and entertainment volume without paying for more grill than they need.
Kokomo 26” Elite 3-Burner Built-In Gas Grill
The Kokomo 26” Elite 3-Burner Built-In Gas Grill is the entry point of the Kokomo gas grill lineup and the right choice for smaller outdoor kitchen builds, apartment courtyards, or homeowners who want professional-grade cooking performance in a compact footprint. Three burners provide plenty of cooking zone flexibility for everyday grilling and entertaining, in a width that fits most compact island designs without sacrificing build quality.
Kokomo 32” Professional 4-Burner Built-In Gas Grill
The Kokomo 32” Professional 4-Burner Built-In Gas Grill is the most popular configuration in the lineup for residential outdoor kitchen builds. Four burners across a 32-inch cooking surface deliver serious capacity for large-group entertaining while keeping the overall island footprint manageable for most backyard layouts. This is the grill most homeowners building a first outdoor kitchen reach for — it's the sweet spot between cooking performance and spatial practicality.
Kokomo 40” Professional 5-Burner Built-In Gas Grill with Back Burner
The Kokomo 40” Professional 5-Burner Built-In Gas Grill with Back Burner is the flagship. Five primary burners across a 40-inch cooking surface give you maximum zone control — simultaneously searing steaks on high, holding chicken thighs on medium, and keeping sides warm on low, all without crowding. The rear rotisserie burner adds a full rotisserie cooking capability for whole birds, roasts, and anything that benefits from even rotating heat. For homeowners who entertain frequently and at scale, or for commercial outdoor kitchen builds, the 40" 5-burner is the specification to reach for.
Kokomo Built-In Charcoal Grill
Gas is convenient, but charcoal delivers a flavor profile that gas simply can't replicate — higher surface temps, real smoke, and the slightly unpredictable char that serious grillers actively seek. The Kokomo 32” Built-In Charcoal Grill drops into the same island framework as the gas models, making it easy to build both into the same outdoor kitchen. Pairing a gas grill with a charcoal grill in a single island is the signature of a serious outdoor cooking setup — you get the weeknight efficiency of gas and the weekend craft of charcoal without needing a second freestanding unit cluttering up the patio.
Kokomo Ceramic Kamado Grill
The Kokomo 21” Ceramic Kamado BBQ Grill brings one of the most versatile cooking formats in outdoor grilling into the built-in outdoor kitchen world. Kamado grills use thick ceramic walls to retain heat with extraordinary efficiency, giving them a temperature range no other charcoal grill can match — from 225°F for low-and-slow brisket smoking up through 700°F+ for pizza and searing. They're also exceptionally moisture-retentive, which produces juicy results across every cooking style. The Kokomo kamado is designed to integrate into an outdoor kitchen island alongside the gas and charcoal grills, adding a third distinct cooking method to a complete outdoor kitchen build.
Pizza Ovens
No outdoor kitchen is complete without the ability to make proper pizza — and we carry three options to cover every preference.
The Kokomo 32” Wood-Fired Stainless Steel Pizza Oven is the built-in premium option — a traditional wood-fired oven that integrates seamlessly into any Kokomo island build for authentic Neapolitan-style cooking at home. The Kokomo 32” Dual-Fuel Pizza Oven gives you the best of both worlds — switch between gas for quick weeknight pies and wood for weekend entertaining where the fire itself is part of the experience. For a standalone countertop gas option, the Cozze Gas Pizza Oven with Rotating Pizza Stone delivers consistent, evenly cooked results every time thanks to its automated rotating stone — the rotating base eliminates the need to manually turn the pizza and ensures even char across the crust.
Outdoor Kitchen Accessories: Complete the Build
A great outdoor kitchen is more than just the grill. The accessories that surround it — the additional cooking surfaces, the refrigeration, the prep and serving infrastructure — are what make the space function as a genuine kitchen rather than just a grill on a counter. The Kokomo Grills accessory lineup covers every component you need.
Additional Cooking Surfaces
The Professional Built-In Power Burner with LED Lights & Wok Grate delivers high-BTU open flame cooking for wok dishes, stock pots, and any application that requires heat output beyond what standard burners provide. The Professional Double Side Burner and Single Side Burner add dedicated zones for sauces, sides, and prep work alongside the main grill surface. The 30” Professional Outdoor Kitchen Flat Griddle opens up a completely different cooking format — smash burgers, breakfast spreads, seafood, and stir-fry all perform best on a flat griddle surface, and having one built into the island alongside the grill is a major upgrade for versatility.
Refrigeration & Storage
The Professional Luxury Outdoor Kitchen Refrigerator and the Built-In Outdoor Kitchen Refrigerator with Temp Control, Soda Rack & Lights keep everything cold within arm's reach of the grill — no trips back inside for ingredients, drinks, or condiments. The Outdoor Kitchen Stainless Steel Drawer adds built-in storage for tools, utensils, and accessories in a weatherproof format that matches the rest of the island.
Sink & Cocktail Station
The Built-In 15x15 Outdoor Kitchen Sink brings full handwashing and prep rinsing capability to the outdoor kitchen — a detail that separates a true outdoor kitchen from a grill station. The 30” Built-In Bartender Cocktail Station with Sink, Bottle Opener & Ice Chest takes the entertaining dimension of the outdoor kitchen to its logical conclusion — a dedicated bar station built into the island where guests can gather, drinks can be prepared, and the host never has to leave the cooking space to serve.
Mobile Option: Kokomo 3-Burner Grill Cart
For buyers who want Kokomo Grills quality without committing to a permanent built-in installation, the Kokomo 3-Burner Grill Cart provides a freestanding mobile option. The cart is sold separately from the grill, allowing buyers to pair it with a compatible Kokomo grill head for a complete freestanding setup. It's also a useful transitional option for homeowners planning a future built-in island who want Kokomo performance in the meantime.
Building a Complete Backyard
An outdoor kitchen is the entertaining anchor of a great backyard, but the space around it matters just as much. Our Home & Backyard Living collection pairs built-in grills naturally with fire pits for evening atmosphere, outdoor showers for pool and patio convenience, infrared saunas and cold plunge tubs for wellness, and hot tubs for year-round relaxation. On the recreation side, our Backyard Fun & Games collection brings trampolines, cornhole, GaGa pits, and more to complete the picture. Whatever your vision for the backyard, our team can help you build it.
