Storage
Outdoor kitchen storage is the backbone of a functional, well-designed grilling space. From access doors and storage drawers to trash pull-outs and propane enclosures, the right storage components keep your outdoor kitchen organized, efficient, and built for long-term outdoor use.
At The BBQ Depot, we offer premium outdoor kitchen storage solutions designed to withstand heat, moisture, and the elements—while seamlessly integrating into custom outdoor kitchens. Proper storage transforms how you cook, entertain, and maintain your space.
Types of Outdoor Kitchen Storage
Outdoor kitchen storage components are designed to serve specific functions while maintaining a clean, built-in look. Choosing the right mix ensures easy access to tools, fuel, and accessories without clutter.
- Access Doors — Ideal for reaching gas shutoffs, plumbing, electrical, or general storage areas.
- Storage Drawers — Keep grilling tools, utensils, and accessories organized and protected.
- Door & Drawer Combos — Popular all-in-one solutions for balanced storage layouts.
- Trash & Recycling Pull-Outs — Concealed waste storage for a cleaner cooking environment.
- Propane Tank Storage — Safe, ventilated access for LP tanks in outdoor kitchens.
Never store more than one (1) LP propane tank inside an outdoor kitchen enclosure. Multiple propane tanks must never be stored together in the same cabinet, unless the conditions below are met.
If additional propane tanks are kept nearby, they must be separated by a non-combustible firewall constructed of concrete board or stainless steel, and stored in an area with proper ventilation.
Proper propane storage reduces fire risk, improves safety, and helps ensure your outdoor kitchen meets manufacturer guidelines and local code requirements.
Why Stainless Steel Matters Outdoors
Outdoor kitchen storage must withstand constant exposure to heat, humidity, grease, and weather. That’s why high-quality stainless steel construction is essential.
- Corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor durability
- Easy-clean surfaces that resist grease and fingerprints
- Structural strength to prevent warping or sagging over time
- Seamless integration with luxury grills and outdoor kitchen components
How to Plan Your Outdoor Kitchen Storage Layout
When planning storage placement, think about how you cook and entertain. The most functional outdoor kitchens are designed around workflow—not just appearance.
- Place tool drawers near your grill for quick access while cooking
- Install trash pull-outs close to prep areas
- Use access doors beneath sinks, grills, or side burners
- Balance storage evenly to maintain clean visual symmetry
