Embers designs and installs outdoor kitchens in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin and across Middle Tennessee. Start in our Brentwood showroom, where complete kitchens and every major built-in grill brand are set up side by side. We design the layout with you, order the appliances to match, and our own installation team — led by a gas-licensed master installer with 20 years on the job — puts it in place. Already working with a builder or hardscape contractor? We supply and install the appliance side and coordinate every cutout, gas line and outlet with them.

Two Ways to Get Your Outdoor Kitchen Built

Complete kitchens by Challenger Designs — designed by us, built to your plan

Challenger Designs islands are prefabricated in the exact layout we design together: grill head, side burner, refrigerator, storage and sink positions locked in before anything is cut. The appliances are ordered custom to the island, so nothing is forced to fit. It is the fastest route from 'we want an outdoor kitchen' to cooking outside, and it does not depend on a contractor's calendar.

Contractor-built kitchens — we handle the appliance side

If a contractor, pool builder or landscape company is building your island, we specify the appliances, supply them, and install them once the hardscape is ready. We send the contractor the cutout dimensions, gas and electrical requirements up front so the two halves of the job meet in the middle. Builders doing multiple homes get the same package at volume.

  • Appliance specification sheets for your contractor
  • Gas-licensed installation team
  • One call for warranty and parts after the build
  • Showroom displays to choose from — not a catalog

Why We Choose Appliances Before the Hardscape

Every grill head, burner and refrigerator has fixed dimensions, cutout sizes and BTU or electrical needs. Pick them first and the island is built to fit; pick them last and something gets compromised. That sequence is the heart of how we plan a project — read the full walkthrough in our outdoor kitchen design guide for Nashville.

Not Ready for a Built-In? Start with a Grill Cart

Most of our outdoor kitchen customers started with a good freestanding grill. Big Green Egg, Alfresco, Lynx, Fire Magic and Blaze carts cook now and roll aside later — and when you are ready for a built-in, the same brands' grill heads drop into an island. See our grills or freestanding gas grills, and ask us which models have a built-in twin.

Outdoor Kitchens for Builders and Contractors

Builders are some of our largest customers, and we work the same way with designers, project managers, contractors and property managers: we select and coordinate the appliance package, order it once it is approved, and install it when your island or build is ready — one team from spec sheet to startup. If you build in Williamson or Davidson County and want a standing appliance partner, call the store at (615) 309-7738.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you design and install outdoor kitchens, or just sell the parts?

    Both. We design the kitchen with you in our Brentwood showroom, supply every appliance and component, and our own installation team — led by a master installer with 20 years of experience and a gas license — sets it in place. If a contractor or builder is already building your kitchen, we supply and install the appliance side and coordinate the cutouts, gas and electrical with them.

  • How much does a custom outdoor kitchen cost in Nashville?

    Most custom outdoor kitchens we do range from about $10,000 to $100,000. Where yours lands depends on the size of the kitchen, the grill and appliances you choose, and how the island is built. Every kitchen is custom, so we give you a project-specific quote after we design it with you, before anything is ordered.

  • How long does an outdoor kitchen project take?

    Once you decide to proceed and place your order, installation is typically 2–4 weeks out (the clock starts at the order, not at the first design meeting). The exact timing depends on the components you choose, supplier availability, and when your site or contractor's island is ready, so we give you an estimate for your project rather than a fixed date. Choosing appliances first keeps things predictable, because the island is built to their exact dimensions.

  • Why do you recommend choosing appliances before the hardscape?

    Every built-in grill, burner, refrigerator and sink has fixed dimensions, cutout sizes, and gas or electrical needs. Choosing them first lets the island and countertops be built to fit, which avoids the rework that happens when a grill is picked last and does not fit the hole. It is the single most common mistake we help homeowners avoid.

  • Which built-in grill brands do you carry?

    Alfresco, Lynx, Fire Magic, Blaze, Viking, DCS, Twin Eagles, Delta Heat, AOG, Artisan, Broilmaster and Evo — all on display in the showroom, so you can compare grill heads side by side before you commit to a cutout size.

  • How does the outdoor kitchen process work?

    You meet with our designer and share photos of your space. The designer creates a mock-up and walks you through gas, power and water placement, leveling, getting everything to your yard and the other details of your project. When you decide to move ahead, your design deposit is credited toward the order and we start ordering and coordinating the components, often from several suppliers. When every piece has arrived, we contact you about the balance and schedule delivery and installation.

  • Do you work with builders and contractors?

    Yes. Builders are some of our largest customers, and we also work with designers, project managers, contractors and property managers as well as homeowners. We handle the appliance package for single homes and multi-home projects: selection, ordering, delivery and installation, coordinated with the rest of the build.

  • Do you service what you sell?

    Yes. We stand behind our work and service the products purchased from Embers. With 50,000+ parts and 100+ distributor relationships, parts and service for your kitchen are one call to our Brentwood store, not an 800 number.

  • Where can I see outdoor kitchens in person
