Before you spend nearly $20,000 on an outdoor kitchen, ask what you’re getting beyond a grill, refrigerator, and a place to put them.
Where are the electrical outlets? The music? The lighting? What about comfortable seating, shade, different ways to cook and service when you need it?
Those features belong in the price comparison.

The Grill Comparison: Paradise GSL vs. Coyote
RTA resells Coyote appliances with its outdoor kitchens. Coyote manufactures the grill—not RTA. Compare the actual appliance model and its warranty separately from the island surrounding it.
Paradise Grills engineers and designs ALL of their own grills and complete appliance line. There is no White Label or middlemen involved.
Here is how Paradise’s GSL specifications compare with Coyote’s published C-Series features. Confirm the exact Coyote model in your RTA quote; the reviewed G7 listing identifies a 36-inch Coyote without specifying its model number.
| Feature | Paradise GSL Commercial Grill | Coyote C-Series |
| Stainless steel | 304-grade stainless steel | 304-grade stainless steel |
| Burners | Cast stainless steel burners | Cast stainless steel burners |
| Cooking grates | 12 mm heavy-duty grates, according to Paradise’s supplied specifications | Stainless steel grates; confirm thickness for the quoted model |
| Interior lighting | Interior hood lighting | Interior grill lighting |
| Infrared Rear Burner | Included | Included |
| Knob lighting | LED knob lighting | Confirm for the exact model and generation |
| Heat-management system | Briquette system designed for even heat distribution and flavor | Standard stainless steel heat-control grids; briquette options vary by model |
| Cooking versatility | Hybrid X conversion options | Accessories depend on model |
| Warranty | Advertised bumper-to-bumper lifetime limited grill warranty, subject to applicable terms All warranty items are in house | Component-specific limited warranty, including limited lifetime coverage on stainless steel burners and frame/housing *Warranty by others |
Look beyond the stainless steel alone. Compare the grates, lighting, heat-management system, cooking options, and service behind the grill. Coyote offers other series with different equipment, including ceramic heat-control systems, so a model-specific comparison matters.

- Pizza oven conversion

Service Matters: Who Actually Fixes The Problem?
A replacement part is useful. Having someone come to your home to handle a covered repair is a different level of service.
Coyote’s published standard warranty excludes labor and labor-related charges. It also specifies shipping and handling charges for warranty parts. Coverage varies by component: certain stainless steel components receive limited lifetime coverage, while other components have shorter periods. Coyote warranty
Ask RTA whether your proposal includes additional onsite repair coverage beyond Coyote’s standard warranty.
Before you buy, ask one direct question: “If a covered problem occurs, who comes to my home—and what will I pay?”
Paradise’s published White Glove Warranty:
- Bumper-to-bumper limited lifetime grill coverage for GSL and GXL grills.
- Coverage including but not limited to housing, burners, grates, briquettes, ignition, hood and LED lights, knobs, thermostat, and drip tray, subject to warranty terms.
- Free onsite white-glove service for gas- and electrical-related warrantied items.
Confirm eligibility, service availability at your address, and the applicable written terms with your purchase. Paradise White Glove Warranty
Paradise Cares: In addition to our White Glove Warranty program, we offer a free Paradise Cares onsite visit for any reason within the first six months.
Comfort Counts: Where Will Your Guests Rest Their Feet?
Look below the countertop. That’s where an easily overlooked difference becomes obvious.
- Paradise: An oversized 304-grade stainless steel bar rail footrest gives guests a dedicated place to rest their feet while they eat, drink, and socialize.
- RTA: A comparable integrated bar rail footrest is not identified in the G7 listing reviewed for this comparison. Ask whether one is available and what it costs.
Seating capacity gets your guests around the bar. A proper footrest helps make that seating comfortable. Without an island footrest, guests rely on their stools for foot support.
Integrated Electrical vs. Additional Electrical Work
RTA says it can provide outlet cutouts and junction boxes, but buyers must purchase the outlets and have an electrician wire and install them. RTA electrical details
Paradise’s described package includes integrated electrical, three outdoor-rated outlets, and 304-grade stainless steel outlet covers.
Reviews: Compare The Published Numbers
- Paradise Grills reports more than 10,000 five-star reviews. Paradise website
- RTA announced more than 1,000 Google reviews with an overall five-star rating in July 2026. RTA announcement
Curbside Delivery Is Another Cost Consideration
RTA’s standard residential freight service is curbside delivery. Its published policy makes the customer responsible for moving the packages to the desired location; special delivery arrangements require a separate quote. RTA shipping policy
RTA also offers third-party installation. Its published guidelines exclude utility hookups, surface corrections, packaging disposal, and certain travel costs. RTA installation details
Paradise offers white-glove delivery. Request the price and exact services available at your address, including placement, setup, and access restrictions.
