Do you love your backyard? Most people with pools enjoy relaxing and entertaining beside their sparkly, blue oasis. But do you ever dream of more? Do you wish you could have one of those awesome outdoor kitchens like you see on HGTV? Well, it may not be such a crazy idea, as outdoor kitchens are hugely popular and an excellent way to add value to your home.
Since you don’t often get to peek in other people’s backyards, we can give you the inside scoop on the popular trends.
First off, these days, planning an outdoor kitchen isn’t much different than planning an indoor version. It’s important to establish a comfortable flow from your refrigerator to your preparation space to the grill. Be sure to include enough outdoor counter space for preparation, buffet-style serving and even for a bar-style seating space.
Where built-in barbecues used to have few options, most being built from stucco and cinder blocks, today there are so many more types to choose from. There are attractive, weather-resistant cabinets topped with beautiful granite and barbecue islands built with attractive materials such as paving stones. Some people prefer stainless steel cabinetry and its ability to withstand the elements, while others prefer powder-coated metal versions that are made to look like real wood.
When it comes to the cooking process, you have many choices aside from a simple grill. There are smokers, grills with rotisseries, warming racks, side burners—some people even opt for a full-blown wood-fired pizza oven!
