October 2, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- 🎙️ Listen to the Podcast Episode
Smithtown, New York — BBQ Kitchen Pros, an owner-operated outdoor kitchen design and appliance retailer, has published The 2027 Outdoor Kitchen Report, a national survey of 1,000 U.S. homeowners documenting what outdoor kitchen owners actually spent, what they would change, and how they perceive the effect on home resale value.
The report is the first national survey to measure the full homeowner market rather than only those who have already completed a renovation. Of the 1,000 respondents, 54% still grill on a cart, giving the data a broader view of ownership patterns, spending, and purchase intent than surveys limited to completed projects.
“Every day I talk to homeowners who are about to make the same mistake. The last hundred made a grill too small, no counter space, no shade and I’ve never had numbers to show them. Now I do,” said Matt Jackson, Owner of BBQ Kitchen Pros. “Nine out of ten owners would change something, and almost none of them would spend less. People don’t regret the outdoor kitchen. They regret building it too small.”
What Owners Actually Spent
The survey found that the median reported spend among current outdoor kitchen owners fell between $5,000 and $10,000, below many published contractor cost guides. The figure gives homeowners a reference point based on what peers actually paid rather than estimated project pricing.
91% of Owners Would Build Differently
Among respondents who already own an outdoor kitchen, 91% said they would change something about their setup. The most frequently cited regrets included grills that were too small, insufficient counter space, a lack of shade, and inadequate storage giving future buyers a specific list of design decisions to evaluate before committing.
Homeowner Perception of Resale Value
Eighty-one percent of surveyed homeowners said they believe an outdoor kitchen increases a home’s value. The report provides homeowner-side data on this question, offering real-estate professionals a statistic drawn directly from owner perception rather than listing-price analysis alone.
A Large Market Still in the Planning Stage
The survey shows that 52% of homeowners plan to build or upgrade an outdoor kitchen within 24 months, yet only 3% said they are ready to purchase in the next 90 days. That gap between intent and action defines the planning window during which the report’s data is most relevant. Among the 54% of homeowners still grilling on a cart, 31% said they wish they had a built-in setup, quantifying upgrade demand within the broader market for the first time.
Open-Access Data
The full report includes 18 embeddable charts and a downloadable dataset available in both XLSX and CSV formats. Writers can embed charts directly into articles, and contractors and designers can reference the statistics during client consultations. The data is free to access at bbqkitchenpros.com/pages/outdoor-kitchen-statistics, and the raw dataset can be downloaded directly.

Singapore’s early bet on artificial intelligence could give its economy a modest but meaningful lift as population ageing starts to bite.

Trump’s 'self-policing' AI accord faces skepticism
The signing of an AI accord by President Trump and tech leaders has done little to quell concerns over the lack of guardrails surrounding artificial intelligence.

China’s AI compute ambitions demand innovation
China has set a five-year goal for the expansion of intelligent computing capacity to drive artificial intelligence (AI) that calls for a more than fourfold increase on what was in place at the end of June this year. To reach the 2030 target while being blocked by the United States from importing the most advanced Western-made AI chips will require innovation, adaptation and the application and coordination of vast resources. Judging by the 177 per cent increase in capacity achieved in the year...
Hyundai, Kia post record US sales in September
Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Corp. posted record U.S. sales for September, driven by strong demand for sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and hybrid models, the Hyundai Motor Group affiliates said Friday. Hyundai Motor America sold 77,439 vehicles last month, up 9 percent from a year earlier, marking its highest-ever September sales. Sales of the Palisade SUV surged 52 percent on-year, while the Sonata, Tucson and Santa Fe also posted double-digit growth. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) accounted for 28 percent of Hyundai's total U.S. sales during the month. Kia America also reported its best-ever September sales, with deliveries jumping 18 percent on-year to 77,009 units. The Seltos, Niro, K4, Telluride, Sorento, Carnival, K5 and Sportage were among the models that contributed to the strong monthly performance.
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries wins contract for 500-MW offshore substation in Taean
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries has signed a contract to build an offshore substation for a wind farm in waters off Taean, South Chungcheong Province, as it expands its presence in the offshore wind market. The company announced on Friday that it recently signed a contract with Taean Wind Power to carry out the engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation and commissioning of an offshore substation for the wind farm. Taean Wind Power is a joint venture between Singapore-based renewable energy company Vena Energy, Danish investment and development firm Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and state-run Korea Western Power. An offshore substation is a key facility that transmits electricity generated by turbines at an offshore wind farm to shore. The offshore substation to be built in Taean will step up the voltage of electricity generated by a 500-megawatt wind farm before transmitting the power to shore. HD Hyundai Heavy Industries secured the project through a series of agreements, signing a front-end engineering design contract in March, followed by a preferred supplier agreement
99.3% of soybeans imported from US test positive for genetic modification
Genetically modified organism (GMO) components were detected in 99.3 percent of U.S. soybean import cases tested over the past decade, trade data showed Friday, raising calls for Korea to diversify its soybean import sources. According to Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp. data submitted to Rep. Song Ok-joo of the Democratic Party of Korea, Korea imported 1.6 million tons of U.S. soybeans between 2017 and September 2026, accounting for 91.5 percent of its total soybean imports during the period. GMO components were detected in 399 of 402 U.S. soybean import cases, or 99.3 percent. Canadian soybeans were imported in 45 shipments totaling 29,469 tons, with GMO components detected in 57.8 percent of the cases. In contrast, no GMO components were detected in soybeans imported from China or Russia. Chinese soybeans totaled 112,124 tons in 18 shipments, accounting for 6.4 percent of total imports, while Russian soybeans totaled 7,870 tons across five shipments. The data came amid recent controversies over GMO detection in soybean-based foods such as tofu, soy milk and fermented soybean pa
