CUSTOM OUTDOOR KITCHEN AND BBQ GRILLS

If you’ve been looking for ways to improve your home life, an outdoor kitchen might be something to look into. During those warm months a lot of people love cooking outdoors, and even more people love the taste of food cooked on an open flame, which cannot always be done indoors without a high powered hood fan. There are some great names in grilling; names under R.H. Peterson like Fire Magic offer some great quality options to choose from. All the models are constructed from stainless steel which is what the professionals use, and there is a wide variety of matching equipment and accessories if you’re looking for a full set in your outdoor area. Building an outdoor kitchen is not as hard as you might think, and you can get that “straight out of a magazine” look for much cheaper than you think as well, especially if you’re willing to take on the task yourself. You should draw up a design for how you want your kitchen to look according to measurements of the appliances and accessories you will be adding on.

As soon as you have the design the way you would like to see it, you will need to buy some wood, pressure treated 2x4 inches works great, and build yourself a frame. Make notches in the vertical posts for support and use metal feet at the bottom. After you have the entire frame built you should decide what you will use as counter top. Marble or granite is beautiful and durable selections but you are not limited to those. You should have planned already where you will want any add-ons such as a sink or cabinets so that in the next steps you can measure where these will go and cut out those portions.

You should also create some sort of room for ventilation allowing for air to escape since you will most likely feed gas to your built in bbq grills or stove, regulation requires there is somewhere for that air to escape if there is a leak. Measure plywood to cover the sides and cut out appropriated for any add-ons. Apply construction adhesive and lay the plywood to the 2x4 sections and nail them together. For the next few steps depending on what you want to be the external layer for show to be, may change the last few layers, this example will discuss laying stone.

Over the plywood tack or staple on 15 pound builders felt and fix wire mesh on top of this making sure the mesh is pointed outward. Spread type “S” motor over it and even it out or “score” it and lay the stone from bottom to stop. You will probably need to shape and size the stones by cutting them with an appropriate stone cutter. After the motor has set for at least 24 hours attach all the fixtures and secure the plumbing and gas. Lastly place your counter tops in place and you are ready to go. A pavilion or some structure to keep the kitchen covered so the elements don’t corrode and ruin your outdoor kitchen area is a good idea.
