1. Build your outdoor kitchen next to your deck
It's a good idea to build your outdoor kitchen adjacent to your patio or deck. Building an outdoor kitchen requires a flat surface, and a deck or patio is usually flat and safe for food preparation. You also want to ensure that any sparks and embers cannot directly land on a lawn. If you want to build your outdoor kitchen on the lawn, you can dig a hole in the grass where the outdoor kitchen will stand, and fill the hole with gravel or concrete slabs. This creates an attractive and, most importantly, safe surface for any potential sparks.
2. Build your outdoor kitchen with a focus on storage
When building your outdoor kitchen, it can be advantageous not to skimp on storage space. You might have cutlery, crockery, or glasses that you want to set out. Or perhaps you want storage for grilling accessories. Whatever you want to store, it's a great advantage to think a little extra and ensure you build your outdoor kitchen with a focus on storage.
3. Access to running water makes an enormous difference
Having access to running water simplifies cooking and allows more people to help out in the outdoor kitchen. Imagine being able to wash new potatoes, rinse salad, or hull strawberries directly in the outdoor kitchen. You can connect the water with a hose from the tap on the house, but it's best to choose a hose intended for drinking water.
4. Make sure to choose a grill with many options
Of course, you must be able to grill in your outdoor kitchen, and ideally for many guests at the same time. Therefore, make sure you buy a grill with a large grilling surface and preferably with several different grilling options and side tables, to easily handle what needs to go on the grill.
