Straight vs L-Shaped Outdoor Kitchen
Straight layouts are efficient in narrow or linear spaces. L-shaped layouts can create more work surface and stronger zoning where the site has enough depth.

L-shaped layout
Can add preparation or serving surface and partially separate guests from the hot cooking zone, but needs greater depth and careful corner planning.
