Gas may rule the weeknight, but charcoal still owns the flavor conversation — and kamado grills have made charcoal easier to love than ever. Here’s how we build charcoal and kamado cooking into custom Las Vegas islands.
The kamado revolution
Kamado grills — the thick ceramic cookers like the Big Green Egg and Kamado Joe — hold heat and moisture like nothing else outdoors. They smoke low, roast hot, and hit steakhouse searing temps, all on a single load of lump charcoal. In the desert they have a bonus superpower: that ceramic mass shrugs off wind and temperature swings.
Built into the island, not parked beside it
A kamado on its little cart next to a beautiful island always looks temporary. We build a dedicated cutout into the masonry — at the right height, with air space around the ceramic and counter on both sides for platters and tools. It reads like it was always part of the design, because it was.
Charcoal + gas: the honest answer
Most of our clients don’t choose — they build both. Gas grill for speed, kamado or charcoal for weekends and wow. One client’s island holds a Green Egg right beside the gas grill; another runs twin kamados. The island is custom, so the cooking lineup is too.
Design yours
Whether it’s a kamado, a charcoal grill, or a full gas-charcoal-griddle lineup, we’ll build the custom BBQ island or outdoor kitchen around how you cook — then christen it with a brisket. Contact us for a free design consultation. Serving Las Vegas, Henderson, and Summerlin since 1998.
