So you are considering a outdoor kitchen, Welcome to the party!
There are many great things about outdoor kitchens that you can draw from depending on what you are wanting to get out of your space.
Here are a few things to consider.
- Things that get hot. There are about 4 built in appliances that will cook food. Grill (Propane, natural gas, and solid fuel) Griddle, Side burner ( single, dual and power burner) and my favorite, Kamado grill.
- Things that get cold. Refrigerators, Ice makers and Kegerators. Many families that have pools can really put to use a ice maker. Manufactures are now rolling out ice makers that are drainless, which makes it easier on the instillation and your wallet.
- Designs. A family needs to seriously consider what the main purpose of the future kitchen will be mainly used for. Is it going to be purely for food prep? Would you use a seating area, high bar or level counter? Would you like more form or function?
- Budget. Until we all switch to the barter system, this is always a factor. Kitchens items are priced by the foot and by the appliance. The bigger the kitchen, the more the cost. The more appliances, the more the cost. Often seemingly smallish changes to a project can cause bigger than expected price changes because of having to purchase additional slabs of granite, or redesign of layout.
- Price comparison. When receiving bids for outdoor kitchens remember this. You are not shopping for a new truck, where regardless where you purchase and how much you pay you will get the same end product. These are custom designed, constructed and finished off by local artisans and enthusiasts in the area. Even if one kitchen looks the same as another, the experience with the builder may be totally different. We proudly offer a comprehensive list of references that can testify to our skills, professionalism and attention to detail.
Once your outdoor kitchen has been built, add a sound bar and TV as big as you can fit on the wall, you’ll be all set to enjoy and entertain for years to come. Contact us today and schedule a appointment for us to come out and discuss what we can do for you.
