Expand Your Living Space With a Custom Outdoor Kitchen

A custom outdoor kitchen transforms your backyard into a space for cooking, dining, and entertaining—all in the open air. At Stone Forge LLC, we design and build fully integrated outdoor kitchen systems tailored to the way you live, cook, and gather.



With over 20 years of experience serving Duluth and surrounding areas, we bring together expert masonry, thoughtful design, and durable materials to build outdoor kitchens that perform year-round. Whether you want a simple grill island or a complete cooking and dining area, our team delivers a professional, polished result.

Designed for Cooking. Built for Minnesota.

We understand the climate and construction requirements for outdoor living in Northern Minnesota. That’s why we use materials and methods that withstand freeze-thaw cycles, temperature extremes, and heavy seasonal use.



Our outdoor kitchens are built to last and designed to flow with your existing patio, landscaping, or hardscaping features. We consider every element—functionality, access, storage, and style—to ensure your kitchen works for both everyday meals and special gatherings.

Outdoor Kitchen Features We Build

Each project is tailored to the client's needs, preferences, and available space. Common outdoor kitchen features include:

  • Built-in gas or charcoal grills
  • Prep and serving counters
  • Sinks and wet bar plumbing
  • Outdoor refrigerators or coolers
  • Pizza ovens and smokers
  • Drawer and cabinet storage
  • Seating walls and bar areas
  • Lighting, outlets, and appliance-ready wiring
  • Natural gas or propane line connections
  • Shade structures or overhead covers (with partner contractors)

Our team works with both pre-purchased appliances and custom-sourced components. We’ll help design a layout that fits your space and integrates seamlessly into your overall outdoor environment.

Materials & Masonry Finishes

We build outdoor kitchens using durable, weather-resistant materials that complement the natural elements of your property and hardscape.

Finish options include:

  • Natural stone veneer
  • Cultured stone or block
  • Brick masonry
  • Polished or brushed concrete counters
  • Granite, slate, or tile prep surfaces
  • Concrete or block core framing


The result is a kitchen space that looks like a natural extension of your home—blending form, function, and lasting durability.

The Stone Forge Outdoor Kitchen Process

  2. Custom Design & Planning - We create a design plan tailored to your yard, budget, and appliance choices—including utility access, surface treatments, and finishes.
  3. Site Preparation & Base Work - We excavate and prepare the site for proper support, utility rough-ins, and structural stability.
  4. Masonry Construction & Installation - We build the stone or block kitchen structure, install countertops, and coordinate with other professionals as needed (electrical, gas, plumbing).
  5. Final Walkthrough - We inspect the completed project with you to ensure quality and functionality—ready for years of outdoor use.
