How to build outdoor grills and kitchens.

Ahhhh….the smell of steaks cooking on your grill. Not much beats it. Summertime is officially here and it’s time to spend your evenings outdoors enjoying meals cooked on your outdoor grills and kitchens. Say goodbye to your hot isolated kitchen and join the rest of the family on the patio.

Many families are adding outdoor kitchens to their backyards for entertaining. Here are three tips for creating yours.

1. Start with a great grill: The centerpiece of any outdoor kitchen is the grill. Choose one that fits your needs. Some grills have searing stations and burners built in so all of the cooking can be done outside.

2. Create a design: Create a design that includes a cabinet to store items as well as to house a sink and provide countertop space. You can find do-it-yourself plans on the internet, or purchase cabinetry.

3. Add a small refrigerator: Add a small refrigerator to store cool items so you don’t have to keep running back and forth from the kitchen.

Whether you choose to build it yourself or hire a professional, adding an outdoor kitchen to your patio will not only provide extended evenings of entertaining, but add value to your home.
