However, it is necessary to consider the layout and other necessary things before we get on the element of styling it. So, before you start an outdoor kitchen project, take note of few questions-
o Do you often cook outside? If yes then what do you cook outside – smoked meats or burgers etc?
o What do you use for grilling and what are your options – propane, charcoal, or natural gas
o How many people are there to assist in cooking outside?
o What steps will you take for kid safety? How much preparation work will you do on the outside kitchen?
o What will you use and store in the outside Kitchen – barbecue tools, dishes, outdoor oven and more
o Would you want to wash your dishes outside?
• Location for outdoor kitchen
Location is very necessary when planning an outdoor kitchen. It is good if the kitchen is close to the home so that the shelter of the house can protect the outdoor kitchen appliances from sun, rain and wind. The overhang roof or attached pergolas are good options while planning an attached outside kitchen. This is less costly you can run utility lines from the house to the kitchen.
More far flung kitchens are also a good idea, if you have the space for it. Make it so that there is less to and fro Movement from inside kitchen to the outdoor kitchen.
