Outdoor kitchens have become very popular and are a great way to entertain family and friends. There are a number of outdoor kitchen components to consider if you are going to design or upgrade your outdoor living area.
1) Charcoal Grill
The trend in outdoor kitchen concepts has been to design the space around the grill. The grill can serve as the main entertaining area, so the grill master can be a part of the gathering, rather than off by him or herself preparing the food. Big Green Eggs charcoal grills are becoming very popular, and they can be installed directly into your outdoor kitchen cabinet.
2) Electric Grill
Electric grills are another excellent choice as they are a faster option and can feature side burners, so other dishes can be prepared at the same time.
3) Bar
With the grill serving as the entertainment hub, you may also want to consider adding in a bar area with bar stools.
4) Refrigerator/Freezer
While you and your friends and family are gathering at the bar, you'll probably want to enjoy something cold to drink. So, it only makes sense to have a refrigerator with freezer close by.
5) Sink
And as long as you've got a grill and fridge, you might as well complete your outdoor kitchen space with running water and a sink.
6) Television
As mentioned last week, your outdoor space is a great place to watch your favorite sports team. Why not add to your entertainment options by hanging a flat screen TV on the wall?
7) Stereo system
Whether you're hosting a big party, having a few friends over to hang out, or just relaxing by yourself, music always adds life and ambiance to an area.
Of course, there are many other items to consider. The possibilities are endless and choosing the right outdoor kitchen concept for your space can be fun and exciting.
