There is a moment, somewhere between the third cancelled flight and the second hour in a security line, when a thought quietly surfaces: “There has to be a better way.” For a growing number of Canadian families, that thought has become a plan. And that plan has become the most inspired investment they’ve ever made.
Welcome to the outdoor kitchen. Welcome to the vacation that requires no passport, no checked bags, and no departure gate. Welcome to a retreat that does not end on Sunday evening, that is not governed by a resort’s checkout policy, and that gets better with every passing season.
It is, quite simply, a step away.
Amid rising airfares and relentless travel disruptions, savvy homeowners are reimagining what it means to truly get away and finding the answer right in their own backyards. Capital BBQ has built its outdoor kitchen program around exactly that idea, designing and supplying spaces for residential and commercial clients that deliver on performance, durability, and design that feels anything but ordinary.
Dine Out(side) More
differently, and increasingly, that means stepping into their own backyard. No reservations. No time limits. No bill at the end of the night. Just exceptional food, great company, and an experience entirely on your terms.
Today’s premium outdoor appliances have made this possible in ways that simply weren’t imaginable a decade ago. High-performance grills, built-in smokers, pizza ovens, and integrated refrigeration deliver a professional kitchen experience, engineered specifically for Canadian conditions and built to perform season after season. The backyard has become the new dining destination. The only address that matters is yours.
Built for Every Vision: Residential and Commercial
Capital BBQ brings the same standard of craftsmanship to every project, whether the client is a family transforming their backyard or a business elevating its guest experience.
For homeowners, an outdoor kitchen enhances daily living while adding meaningful value to a property. It becomes the place where dinners linger, where celebrations take shape, where ordinary Tuesday evenings become something worth remembering.
For commercial clients—restaurants, hotels, and event venues—it’s a strategic differentiator. An outdoor kitchen extends your hospitality footprint, creates an atmosphere guests actively seek out, and gives your offering something competitors simply can’t replicate indoors.

Expertise You Can Trust:
Meet Kirk Sharkey. At the heart of every Capital BBQ project is Kirk Sharkey, the company’s dedicated outdoor kitchen design specialist, with more than seven years of experience in custom kitchen design.
What sets Kirk apart isn’t just technical knowledge, it’s the way he listens. Every project begins with a conversation about how a client actually lives: how they cook, how they entertain, what they’ve always wanted but never quite found. Those conversations shape spaces that feel deliberate and personal, never generic.
From Concept to Creation, the Capital BBQ Process
Every project begins with a complimentary on-site consultation. Capital BBQ’s team visits the space, assesses the environment, and starts translating ideas into a clear design direction.
Clients receive a detailed 3D rendering, a full visual of the finished kitchen before a single component is installed. It’s a step that builds confidence and eliminates guesswork, allowing clients to refine layout, appliances, and materials until everything is exactly right.
Capital BBQ works exclusively with premium brands engineered to withstand everything a Canadian climate can deliver, because an outdoor kitchen is only as good as its worst winter. Every component is selected for resilience, longevity, and performance. And because a true retreat is more than just a kitchen, Capital BBQ completes every space with customizable patio furniture and outdoor heating, ensuring that when the cooking stops, the evening doesn’t.
Throughout it all, the team works closely with landscape architects, contractors, and designers to ensure the finished space elevates everything around it.
A Relationship That Lasts Beyond Installation
The project doesn’t end at installation, and neither does Capital BBQ’s commitment. For over 35 years, that commitment is exactly what has kept clients coming back. Long after a kitchen is built, the team is just a phone call away, whether it’s routine maintenance, parts and service, or finding the next upgrade that takes your space to the next level.
Your Backyard is Waiting
Some investments look good on paper. This one looks good every single day. An outdoor kitchen becomes the heart of your home—the place where seasons are marked, guests become regulars, and ordinary evenings become anything but. The only question is what’s been stopping you.
Capital BBQ. The escape you’ve always wanted. The dining experience you never have to leave home for.
