LP Tank & Trash Pull Out

Outdoor Kitchen Pull Out Trash Can Storage

You’re here because you want your outdoor kitchen to feel finished. Not “almost done,” not “we’ll deal with it later.” Just clean, functional, and easy to live with.

Island in the Sun BBQ carries outdoor kitchen pull out trash can and propane storage drawers that solve the two things most outdoor kitchens ignore until the first real cookout. Trash. And the propane tank sitting awkwardly in the corner.

What Pushes People to Buy Pull Out Storage

Most outdoor kitchens start out looking great. Then real life happens.

You cook outside a few times, you realize you’re walking across the patio to throw things away, and you end up parking a trash can next to the island. It works, technically. It also blocks drawers, gets knocked over, and somehow always ends up in the background of every photo.

Propane is the same story. You don’t mind it at first. Then you’re swapping tanks with guests around, or you’re trying to reach a valve while holding a drip tray, and it starts to feel like a bad design decision you didn’t mean to make.

Why Choosing the Right Drawer Matters

An outdoor pull-out trash drawer is one of those upgrades you notice every single time you grill. It keeps mess contained, keeps your island looking clean, and makes the whole space feel more intentional.

But the wrong one is frustrating fast. Cheap slides stick. Thin metal flexes. And outdoor humidity has a way of exposing shortcuts in the first season.

That’s why materials matter here more than they do indoors. Commercial grade 304 stainless steel holds up better, cleans up easier, and doesn’t feel flimsy when you pull it out with one hand.

How These pull-out drawers work in daily use

Blaze 20-Inch Roll Out Trash/Propane Tank Storage Drawer
A dual-purpose roll-out drawer that stores a propane tank or hides a trash bin, depending on how you set it up. This is a smart choice when you’re short on cabinet space and want one clean solution.

Blaze Roll Out Double Trash/Recycle Drawer
A two-bin roll-out drawer designed for trash and recycling side by side. If you entertain often, this is the one that keeps your island from turning into a pile of cans and paper plates.

Blaze Narrow Trash Storage Drawer
A slimmer roll-out trash drawer built for tighter layouts. This is the one people choose when their island design is already locked in and every inch matters.

FAQs

Is an outdoor kitchen pull out trash can drawer worth it?
If you cook outside more than a few times a month, yes. It’s one of the most-used parts of the island.

Can I use a regular indoor trash can in these drawers?
You can, as long as the size fits. Most people use a standard bin, but always check the product dimensions.

What’s the benefit of a double trash and recycle drawer?
It keeps recycling easy. And it prevents the classic “we’ll sort it later” pile from forming on the counter.

Do these drawers hold up in humid or coastal areas?
304 stainless steel is one of the best choices for outdoor kitchens, especially in tougher climates. You’ll still want to clean it like any outdoor stainless, but it holds up well.

Will the drawer start to smell since it’s enclosed?
Not usually. With regular bag changes, it stays fine. If you grill a lot of seafood, you’ll appreciate having it hidden even more.

Is propane tank storage safe inside an outdoor island?
Yes, when the drawer is designed for propane storage and installed properly. It keeps the tank accessible without leaving it out in the open.

Do these match other Blaze outdoor kitchen components?
Yes. These are made to pair cleanly with other Blaze doors and drawers for a consistent look.
