Outdoor Kitchen Design
- Keep in mind things such as, placement of the kitchen, the outside elements, fabric, counter tops, flooring, cabinets, fridge, sink, grill, fireplace, and electrical sources
- Do you simply want to cook on the grill or do you want to prepare the whole meal outside, without having to run in the house every few minutes, to stir something on the stove or rinse vegetables to grill or grab the meat from the fridge.
- The best thing about outdoor kitchens is you can store, prepare, cook and clean up everything without ever stepping foot inside the house, but best of all you don't have to leave your guests to keep running inside when you are entertaining.
- A grill exhaust hood is a very nice feature, guests as well as yourself will appreciate the lack of smoke blowing everywhere
- Decide where your kitchen will be located, will it be close to the indoor kitchen or will it be placed further away? If it is close to the indoor kitchen you can take advantage of plumbing and electricity without having to move or add anything.
- Some type of overhead covering is really nice to have, for shade or rain. You will want to plan to have at least a small counter top for preparing food.
- Plan for a couple cabinets, drawers or shelves to store spices, utensils and other necessities.
- A sink is also nice to have, for rinsing fruits and vegetables, filling pots and washing dishes.
- A small refrigerator to store drinks, meat, vegetables and other necessities.
