Straight run
Narrow side yards and covered patios where the kitchen sits against one wall.
The most cook space per dollar — no corners to cut, pour, or finish.
L-shape
The most common DFW build — separates the hot zone from prep and gives you a corner to seat people at.
One corner adds mitred stone ends and extra foundation, so the per-foot cost rises about 15%.
U-shape
Open backyards where the kitchen is the destination and the cook stays inside the work triangle.
Two corners and three finished runs — roughly 30% more per foot than a straight run.
