By Jason Whitney


When taking on the task of building the perfect outdoor kitchen, the one thing that comes to mind is the appliances that are a part of the kitchen to come. The right gas grills, fireplace, oven, barbeque, and even the fire pits, can make the difference between an outdoor kitchen you love and use all the time, or a kitchen that is the source of frustration and problems.

Aside from the seat cushions for your patio furniture, let's examine the ingredients that go into building the perfect outdoor kitchen. The first thing you want to do is get a hold of some photographs that show your ideal kitchen or kitchen possibilities. Decide what style of cabinets and island you will want to reflect the image you are going for. The next thing is to get some designs and create a set of plans that will make your outdoor kitchen a place where you will want to spend your time. Lowe's and the Home Depot are great places to get some ideas and advice on how to build the kitchen you want. They also have some great appliances and brands that will be a great asset to your investment.


There are some great barbecue gas grills and they come with some amazing features and come in a variety of price ranges. First you have your basic Char Broil quickset grill. Two wheels roll it in for a fast portable grilling experience. Not too many features, but just what is needed to get the job done. Another type of grill comes from the Weber commercial series. this is a do it all grill and the features are amazing. it has a stove and a griddle, comes in stainless steel and has the ability for use with propane or natural gas. A really nice way to go is with a built in island grill. This has everything you need for building the perfect outdoor kitchen.

When Building The Perfect Outdoor Kitchen, appliances are a great asset, even to having an oven outdoors. This is a great way to keep your house cool during the summer and allow mom to be outside instead of chained to the indoor kitchen. The cabinets can be wood or granite, depending on your style, and the oven and grill and even fire pits can be easily inserted to make the whole place come together with elegance. The right ingredients definitely make the perfect outdoor kitchen.
