OUTDOOR KITCHENS
___________________________________________________________________

Beyond the barbecue

Homeowners want to escape to an outdoor oasis in their own backyard.  By adding a complete kitchen to your outdoor living space, you can create more options for relaxation and entertaining family, neighbors and friends at home while ultimately, extending the length of your outdoor season.

 

 

Understanding your needs

We want to help design the right kitchen to suit your needs. 
The two most important components are space and equipment. 
It’s crucial to design the kitchen in relationship to your available
outdoor living space. 

 

To choose equipment, typical planning questions include how frequently you plan to cook for your family, how much entertaining you expect to do, the potential use of caterers and how the outdoor kitchen relates to the indoor kitchen.  The end result is our recommendation for components, layout and a complete set of measurable drawings for the custom outdoor kitchen.

 

Understanding your options

We recommend using only the best products for outdoor kitchens.  For 25 years, Fire Magic®  barbecues have set the standard for outdoor cooking with technology and construction that has few rivals. 

 

These barbecues are an essential centerpiece for fine outdoor entertaining and make multi-task meal prep simple with many features – side burners, infrared convection backburners, heat zone separators, warming racks, woodchip smoker drawers – to open the world of culinary creativity to any cook. 

 

Other kitchen options include, refrigeration, storage and a countertop island.  But for those desiring a deluxe outdoor kitchen, luxurious “must-haves” can extend to a bar, fireplace, and even gourmet style countertops. 

 

Considering all the elements

Other landscape design elements you may want to consider include shelter from the sun and rain, the integration of outdoor lighting, and planting with shade trees and dense shrubbery or adding a fence for privacy purposes.

 

Material selection for your patio and your counters should meet aesthetic goals as well as being stain-resistant and durable.  We’ll work hard to include landscape elements that blend the outdoor kitchen with the other outdoor “rooms” or functional entertaining areas such as pools or ponds by pathways and steps.
