Visiting an outdoor kitchen showroom in Sarasota.
The showroom at 3303 Bahia Vista St is where you see islands, grills, griddles, smokers, and kamados side by side. Come look at the floor before a free, no-obligation home measurement in the Sarasota area.

What you can see in one visit
The floor at 3303 Bahia Vista St puts the cooker types in one room. Built-in islands hold grills, griddles, and side burners in a single run. Cart grills sit in a row so you can lift lids and compare cooking surfaces.
Ceramic kamados stand in an aisle. Pellet grills sit along a wall. Wood and charcoal pits occupy the Meadow Creek room. A pizza oven sits on the floor as well.
Rubs and sauces cover a wall near the cookers, and knives sit in a case. Buying happens in the shop at this address, or by phone.
Every island and cooker on this floor is a showroom display, not a customer project. They are not installed kitchens or client jobs. The outdoor kitchens page is the design and supply side of this same address.
Built-in islands and what to check
Two islands are on the floor for you to stand at. The Challenger Designs island holds a Napoleon built-in grill. The Twin Eagles island holds a griddle, a grill, and a side burner in one run.
Stand at the counter and check the height against how you cook. A counter that feels high here will feel high at home. Open the doors and drawers and see what actually fits under the cook surface.
Look at how the grill sits in the cutout. The lid needs room to open. Check whether the grill sits even with the counter.
That Challenger Designs island is a showroom display at 3303 Bahia Vista St, not a customer project. The Twin Eagles island is a showroom display too.
Gas grills you can open
Gas grills on the floor come as carts and as built-ins. A row of Napoleon cart grills sits with the lids open. A Delta Heat built-in sits on a stone counter. The Twin Eagles island is the other built-in gas line you can walk up to.
Lift a lid and feel its weight. Look at the grates and the burner layout under them. On the carts, check the side shelves for landing space.
Napoleon, Delta Heat, and Twin Eagles are built-in gas lines on the showroom floor. A cart is useful if you are not ready for an island. A built-in needs a cutout and a fuel plan.
If you already have an island and only the grill is worn out, start with grill inserts for outdoor kitchens. Bring photos of the opening if you have them.
Griddles and a wood-fired pizza oven
A griddle is a flat metal plate. You cook on the plate, not on grates. Eggs, smash burgers, and chopped vegetables stay on that surface instead of falling through.
The Evo on the floor is a round griddle. The cook stands at the ring and works across the plate. Halo griddles sit nearby with their lids open, so you can see the rectangular plate and how the lid covers it.
A pizza oven is a small dome with a hot floor. The Fontana Forni wood-fired pizza oven sits on a stainless stand. You slide a pie onto the floor of the dome and turn it as it cooks.
Flat-top cooking is the weekday cooker next to a grill. A wood-fired oven is a separate station with landing space for peels.
Smokers, pits, and kamados
The Meadow Creek room holds wood and charcoal pits. Those cookers burn wood or charcoal and need space and patience. Read choosing a Meadow Creek smoker before you pick a format, and see the Meadow Creek catalog page for the line.
Pit Boss pellet grills and a vertical smoker sit along an interior wall. A pellet grill feeds compressed hardwood pellets with a controller. It needs power and a dry place for the bags.
The Big Green Egg aisle lines up ceramic kamados by size. A kamado is a ceramic charcoal cooker. Read the Big Green Egg size guide before you choose.
That aisle is a showroom display at 3303 Bahia Vista St, not a customer project. Stand next to the size you think you want and see how much floor it actually uses.
How to get the most from the visit
Bring photos of the space from more than one angle. You do not need a finished design.
Know whether the kitchen sits under a lanai or in the open. If there is a roof or a screen, read the lanai and screen enclosure guide first. If you cook near the Gulf, read the salt air and humidity guide.
Read the planning guide before you come. It is the decision list for location, cooking, fuel, materials, and storage. Showroom hours are posted on the door and in the footer of this page.
