4. Custom Outdoor Kitchens In Chesterfield, MO

Chesterfield isn’t just a place to live; it is a community defined by spacious landscapes and a culture of home entertainment. From the estates near Wild Horse Creek to the family-centric neighborhoods surrounding Faust Park, homeowners here understand that the backyard is an extension of the living room. However, creating a functional culinary space outdoors requires more than just dropping a grill on a patio. It requires a thoughtful approach to outdoor kitchen design that accounts for Missouri’s shifting seasons and your specific entertaining style.

At Forshaw, we help Chesterfield homeowners bridge the gap between inspiration and reality. Whether you are looking to install a comprehensive luxury outdoor kitchen or upgrade a patio with high-performance appliances, we provide the expertise required to navigate the complexities of layout, fuel lines, and material selection.

Our St. Louis Source for Outdoor Kitchens & Built-In Grills

Since 1871, Forshaw has been a fixture in the St. Louis community, evolving from skilled cabinet makers to the region’s premier authority on hearth and outdoor living. Unlike general contractors who may install a kitchen as an add-on service, our legacy is built on deep product knowledge and craftsmanship.

When you are evaluating options for outdoor kitchen installation, you need confidence that the system will last. We don’t just sell boxes; we curate a complete ecosystem of backyard kitchens. Our showroom allows you to physically inspect the build quality of our components—from the weight of a stainless steel hood to the glide of a drawer—ensuring you understand exactly what you are investing in before the installation begins.

Featured Components

A true custom kitchen is defined by its components. At Forshaw, we offer a wide selection of high-quality options, available both in-stock and for custom order. We guide you away from “disposable” appliances toward investment-grade fixtures that offer superior heat retention, weather resistance, and aesthetic appeal.

Outdoor Pizza Ovens

Elevate your entertaining capabilities with an authentic wood-fired or gas experience. Finding a high-performance outdoor pizza oven near me allows you to bring the artisanal pizzeria experience to your backyard, perfect for family nights or large gatherings where interactive cooking is the goal.

Outdoor Kitchen Cabinets & Storage

Organization is the difference between a grill station and a functional kitchen. Our weather-sealed outdoor kitchen doors and drawers ensure your utensils, spices, and fuel remain dry and accessible. These units are engineered to withstand humidity and temperature fluctuations without warping or rusting.

Outdoor Griddles

Versatility is a top priority for modern outdoor chefs. A dedicated outdoor griddle cart or built-in unit expands your menu beyond burgers, allowing you to cook everything from smash burgers and fajitas to full breakfasts, turning your patio into an all-day dining destination.

Outdoor Refrigerators

The convenience of an outdoor kitchen is lost if you constantly have to run inside for ingredients. High-efficiency outdoor refrigerators keep beverages cold and ingredients safe, rated specifically to maintain temperatures even during the sweltering Chesterfield summers.

Outdoor Kitchen Islands & Structures

The foundation of your project is the structure itself. We utilize Exterus systems to create a durable, custom outdoor cooking island that installs faster than traditional masonry while offering superior resistance to settling and cracking.

Built-In Grills

The heart of the kitchen demands the highest quality. Our selection of built-in grills features commercial-grade stainless steel construction, ensuring consistent heat distribution and longevity that far outpaces standard big-box store models.

Granite Countertops

Surfaces must be as durable as they are beautiful. We fabricate custom outdoor granite countertops that resist fading from UV exposure and handle the rigors of food preparation, providing a polished, cohesive look to your outdoor design.

Outdoor Kitchen Brands We Trust

We refuse to compromise on quality. After decades in the industry, we have curated a portfolio of outdoor cooking appliances from manufacturers who share our commitment to engineering excellence and warranty support.

Frequently Asked Questions from Chesterfield

1. Do I need a permit to install an outdoor kitchen in Chesterfield?

Generally, permanent structures involving gas, electric, or plumbing lines require permits from the City of Chesterfield. Our team can guide you on the necessary specifications to ensure your project complies with local building codes.

2. Can outdoor kitchen cabinets stay outside all winter?

Yes. We specialize in marine-grade stainless steel and polymer cabinets designed specifically to withstand St. Louis winters. Unlike wood, these materials do not warp, rot, or crack in freezing temperatures.

3. How long does the installation process take?

While masonry projects can take weeks, our Exterus modular systems can often be assembled and finished in a matter of days once the site is prepped, significantly reducing the construction time in your backyard.

4. What is the best countertop material for an uncovered kitchen?

Granite is the superior choice for uncovered outdoor kitchens. It is UV stable (won’t fade like quartz), non-porous when sealed properly, and highly resistant to heat from grills and pizza ovens.

5. Can I add components to my outdoor kitchen later?

It is possible, but difficult. Cutting into stone or masonry after the fact is costly and risky. We recommend planning for future appliances (like an outdoor fridge or side burner) during the initial design phase, even if you install them later.
