Must-Have Outdoor Kitchen Features 

1. Covering 

You should be able to use your outdoor kitchen year-round. Installing a roof, awning, or pergola over the area will protect you from the sun’s harsh UV rays and help block the rain, allowing you to cook and eat outside comfortably, even during periods of inclement weather. With a structure above your kitchen, you’ll also be able to install fans to cool it off and add extra lighting for those toasty summer nights.


2. Two-Sided Grill 

A grill is the most essential component of any outdoor kitchen. Since it’s the appliance you’re likely to use the most, installing one that’s two-sided can offer more convenience. This way, you can utilize both a gas and charcoal grill to cook your meats and vegetables simultaneously. 


3. Pizza Oven 

As much as you like barbeque, there’s a good chance you won’t want to be stuck behind the grill every time you cook. Adding a pizza oven is a smart solution. They’re relatively easy to install and can fit seamlessly with an existing outdoor kitchen design. Aside from producing delicious wood-fired pizzas, they can be used to make many other types of food, including potatoes, fresh-baked bread, and uniquely flavored salmon.


4. Entertainment 

With all the advancements in technology, it’s no longer necessary to keep the entertainment indoors. You can easily find surround sound systems and televisions that are intended for use in landscaping. These devices are built to withstand various weather conditions and come in a range of sizes. This means you can host a movie night or watch the big game while cooking in your outdoor kitchen.
