As we just mentioned, this crazy backyard transformation started with just an outdoor kitchen. Kevin Chon had recently purchased his dream home in California, and he was most excited about the existing outdoor kitchen in the backyard. Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, this BBQ island turned out to be an unusable, complete disaster! The tile countertops were falling apart, the appliances didn’t work or were barely functioning… You get the picture. (Again, you’ll see more of this in the actual video.)

Through a very fortunate series of events… We were able to link up with Kevin and help facilitate his crazy backyard transformation. He didn’t get the outdoor kitchen he wanted right off the cuff… And we swooped in to help turn his backyard nightmare into an absolute dream. We worked one-on-one with Kevin to create a completely fresh and new outdoor kitchen design, delivered it to his door, helped him demolish his previous BBQ island, and helped install the shiny new one. And in the midst of this process… Kevin decided to go all-out and undergo a complete patio transformation, with a new pergola to boot! Point is, there is so much to unpack here. So kick back, relax, and enjoy.

As you’ll be able to see… The Gorgas recently worked with us for their outdoor kitchen project. From the outdoor kitchen design, to manufacturing, to installation… We helped them along every step of the way. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. You’re here specifically to get some design inspiration. We have to say, there’s plenty of it! In this video, you’ll hear Joe and Melissa talk about their experience and how their design came to life. It was primarily through the use of our free outdoor kitchen design tool that the layout took shape. This tool guided them through the type of layout they wanted, the appliance layout, the appliances themselves, and even the finishes and countertops.

As the Gorgas are explaining their outdoor kitchen design… You’ll see a screen capture of what the makings of their island looked like in our design tool. They started by picking their layout, which was two linear islands stacked side-by-side. Then, they had to decide where they wanted their appliances to sit. Once that appliance layout was all settled… They were able to choose what appliances they wanted in each space. And from there, the Gorgas just had to choose what finish and countertops they wanted. Pretty simple, right? We’ll let the Gorgas explain to you just how easy it is… So get back to watching!

Toward the beginning of this video… Joe Gorga explains how he used to build outdoor kitchens for his customers. Everything was done by hand with a cinder block frame. So he was laying down cinder blocks, piece by piece… Applying a mortar to the exterior… And setting a stone finish onto that mortar. Might not sound like a lot, but that’s actually some grueling labor! All of the materials involved in this process are extremely heavy. And keep in mind, Joe Gorga installed his RTA island on a deck. If he wanted to do this with a cinder block outdoor kitchen… It actually would have been impossible. (These islands are far too heavy to install on a deck.)

So just right there, he would have to make a huge compromise on his project. But that’s not the only reason why Joe Gorga actually prefers RTA over an outdoor kitchen contractor. For the rest of the answers, you’ll just have to watch the rest of this video!

As you can tell, in this Gorga house tour… Joe and Melissa simply can’t rave enough about their new outdoor kitchen! We certainly don’t blame them… There’s a lot to brag about. For one, the sheer amount of cooking appliances is impressive in and of itself. On the far right of the island, you’ll find the gas grill. This massive grill is perfect for grilling up steaks… Which their two grown boys absolutely love! And if that wasn’t enough grilling power, the kamado cooker is ready to go right nearby. This asado cooker can grill, smoke, sear, and even bake. In fact, making pizzas in the cooker is one of Joe’s favorite things about this outdoor kitchen! This outdoor kitchen setup is made even better with the addition of a power burner. For lobster boils and pasta dishes… There’s truly nothing better.

And we have to say, the appliances aren’t the only impressive thing about this Gorga house tour. The outdoor kitchen itself is a stunner… And perfectly compliments the Gorgas’ space. The finish is a sleek, charcoal plank that offers a fantastic contrast to the lightness of the space. Plus, the white countertops keep that contrast from becoming too stark.

Kicking things off… This Coyote outdoor appliances reviews starts off with a raving report on the power burner. Both Joe and Melissa absolutely love this appliance… And for completely different reasons! Melissa loves using the power burner to boil large stock pots of seafood. Not only does this keep humid heat out of the house… It also banishes the stinky smell of fish, keeping it all outside. As for Joe, he likes to convert the power burner into a flat top griddle with Coyote’s griddle attachment. This allows him to cook all sorts of things… But his favorite? Breakfast al fresco. Joe loves to cook pancakes, bacon, and the whole shebang right on the power burner’s griddle attachment.

But of course, that’s not the only cooking appliance to take note of. The Gorgas also added a massive 42” gas grill to their outdoor kitchen. This powerhouse of a grill is perfect for cooking enough steaks, peppers, and chicken to feed an army. And to take it a step further, Joe and Melissa also have a Coyote asado nestled in their island. This charcoal-fueled ceramic grill is incredible for when Joe is smoking ribs… And sometimes, he even bakes a pizza on it! Pretty impressive, right? To see how the rest of this Coyote outdoor appliances reviews video shakes out… You’ll just have to tune into the rest.

This outdoor kitchen layout ideas video starts simple… With the classic linear layout. Consisting of a single, straight island… It really doesn’t get more simple than this! But don’t let the simplicity fool you. There’s a lot to love about a linear island. These layouts are ideal for homeowners who are short on space, and aren’t in need of many outdoor appliances. You’re content with a grill, some storage, maybe a fridge… And having some counter space left over to prepare and serve your food. But if you have the space, you can always opt to make your linear island longer to accommodate extra appliances.

Next up, we have L-shaped outdoor kitchens. Arguably, these are the most popular outdoor kitchen layout ideas… And it’s easy to see why. By adding on a second island, you’ve effectively doubled your hosting potential. The vast majority of L-shaped islands will include a bar island with seating… But you can opt for a second grill island if you really just want to focus on the cooking. This also allows you to create two different cooking zones. Your primary grill island can be the hot zone… And your bar island (or second grill island) can be the cold zone.  Now, there are two more outdoor kitchen layout ideas to discuss… But you’ll just have to watch the video to discover what they are. And trust us, you won’t want to miss them!

So… What is this mysterious structural guarantee from RTA Outdoor Living? It’s simply that we offer a limited lifetime structural warranty on our islands. And even though that’s a simple concept to understand… It’s a powerful testament to how confident we are that an RTA outdoor kitchen will truly last you a lifetime. Wendell himself has installed several RTA islands, and has never had to replace a single one… And he’s never even had to make a repair! This makes Wendell 100% confident in selling our islands to his customers, because he knows that he won’t get a call later that something needs to be fixed.

But you might be wondering… What exactly makes us so confident in our product? It all comes down to how an RTA outdoor kitchen is designed and constructed. Every island will be made with high performance concrete that’s rated for 100 years… And is further reinforced with proprietary fibers. This makes our islands uniquely equipped to handle freeze thaw climates, high humidity, and ocean air. But that’s not all. You’ll have to watch the rest of this video to find out!

Straight from the get-go… The Gorgas knew that they wanted to install a full outdoor living area in their new home. They didn’t have a space like this in their previous home, and it was sorely missed! And since the Gorgas love to grill year-round… It was important that this space was properly designed. So in addition to the outdoor kitchen… They installed a covered deck and a fireplace, to ensure it’s comfortable to grill even during the cold New Jersey winters. But let’s look at the outdoor kitchen itself, shall we?

In this RTA Outdoor review… The Gorgas opted for a charcoal plank finish. The dark exterior serves as a beautiful and minimalistic foil to the white, reclaimed brick exterior of the house. And to keep the design from going too dark… The white granite countertops truly ties the aesthetic together. But an outdoor kitchen is far more than just the exterior finish… There’s also a multitude of premium appliances that the Gorgas opted for! But to see a closer look… You’ll just have to watch the rest of this RTA Outdoor review yourself.

Unlike many pellet grill recipes… Chef Jet Tila calls for a reverse sear on this spatchcock chicken. So instead of smoking the whole way through… You’ll start with a smoke, and end with a sear to get beautiful caramelization on that chicken skin. To begin, you’ll set your pellet grill to 275°F. Once preheated, you’ll place your spatchcocked chicken in, skin side up. Wait… What about the seasonings? Well, that’s actually up to you! Whether you prefer to brine your chicken or give it a dry rub… Either method will work with this recipe.

So now that we’ve got that out of the way… You’ll smoke your bird for about 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 150°F – 155°F. At this point, you’re ready to begin searing. Keeping the temperature probe inside your bird, lift up the hood and set your pellet grill to 500°F. You’ll flip over your chicken, now having the skin directly in contact with the grill grates. Continue to sear the chicken, skin side down, until the internal temperature reads 165°F. At this point, you’re done! Serve with roasted vegetables or another side of preference.
