Title: Out door kitchen
Post by: Albert Rivera on December 28, 2013, 10:58:58 AM
If you have an outdoor kitchen that works for you; would you post some pictures?

I have been wanting to build an outdoor kitchen but have not come up with anything that would "fit" with the existing back yard area.

Too many structures already and my wife says she does not want me to build anything that looks like a "wart", added to an otherwise nice backyard. (Bath house, screened in gazebo, deck, concession area and all are surrounding the pool).

Currently use the deck on sunny days and the gazebo when raining. Store grills in gazebo that detract from it as a sitting area, the other grilling accessories are stored in the garage utility room... too far from grilling area and inconvenient.

We are probably not creative, or imaginative enough... could use some help.

Thank you in advance!

I can quickly see there is no shortage of ideas or designs!

The only shortage that is quite obvious is cash!

Pappy! Where art thou?

Now I know why I still do not have an outdoor kitchen.

CDN>>>> really good site! Thanks

Maybe I can find something that is within my reach.

The Bank of Pappy spent all his cash on Christmas, and the rest I have invested in lottery tickets and pull tabs ;D

What gets me on many of the pictures of outdoor kitchens I see is they are uncovered.  I can't believe people will spend all that money and just leave the stuff to the mercy of the elements even if it is all "weather proof".  I also like the idea of not building in grills and some cookers.  With the changes and advancements made in grills, smokers, etc. it would appear to me to have a "slot" you can fit a grill, smoker, etc. in.  Of course, sometimes folks have more money than knowledge.  I saw someone put around $100k into an outdoor kitchen and didn't bat an eye at the cost because the house was over a million.  Dee

Outdoor kitchens are so beautiful but they do cost a pretty penny.
