An outdoor kitchen is more than a grill — it's a complete culinary experience that extends your living space into the fresh air. With the right planning, your outdoor kitchen can rival any indoor setup.
Planning Your Layout
Start with a work triangle: your grill, prep area, and storage should form an efficient triangle that minimises movement while cooking. Consider the prevailing wind direction so smoke blows away from your seating area.
Countertop Materials
For outdoor use, choose materials that can withstand the elements. Granite, concrete, and stainless steel are excellent choices — durable, easy to clean, and weather-resistant.
Built-in Appliances
Beyond the grill, consider a built-in refrigerator for drinks and marinades, a side burner for sauces and sides, and a pizza oven for the ultimate entertainment centrepiece.
