Important considerations when designing an Outdoor Kitchen
"A Barbecue Kitchen is a focus in an outdoor area for people to gather and be sociable.’
1. Techniques
Barbecuing encompasses multiple types of cooking techniques. The original technique is cooking using smoke at low temperatures—usually around 116–138 °C (240–280 °F)—and significantly longer cooking times (several hours), known as smoking. Grilling is done over direct, dry heat, usually over a hot fire over 260 °C (500 °F) for a few minutes. Grilling and smoking are done with wood, charcoal, gas, electricity, or pellets. The time difference between smoking and grilling is because of the temperature difference; at low temperatures used for smoking, meat takes several hours to reach the desired internal temperature.
2. Smoking
Smoking is the process of flavouring, cooking, and/or preserving food by exposing it to smoke from burning or smouldering material, most often wood. Meat and fish are the most common smoked foods, though cheeses, vegetables, nuts, and ingredients used to make beverages such as beer or smoked beer are also smoked.
3. Controlling Odours
Grilling is a form of cooking that involves a dry heat applied to the food, either from above or below. Grilling is an effective technique in order to cook meat or vegetables quickly since it involves a significant amount of direct, radiant heat. This is the most common technique when cooking classic barbecue foods, although some variants of grilling require direct, but moderate heat.

1. Planning
It is essential to plan carefully, especially if you’re building an outdoor kitchen. Key questions to ask yourself are how will you be using your outdoor kitchen, what features do you want it to have and where are you going to place it. Consult our “Building an outdoor kitchen” guide for tips on where to place your kitchen.
2. Decide
Which type of outdoor kitchen you want. Do you want to construct the foundation for the kitchen yourself and then build the products in? Or do you want a ready-to-use outdoor kitchen delivered to your home? Find out more about the various options in the section below.
3. Material - Manufacturing
Choose an outdoor kitchen made of materials that will withstand the elements. Make sure that all parts of the outdoor kitchen are made of the right material. Some of the outdoor kitchens on the market feature screws and joints of an inferior quality. As a result, these parts rust.
4. Gril
The grill is the heart of an outdoor kitchen. Take your time when choosing a grill that is just right for you and your needs. Gas grill, charcoal grill or kamado? You decide!
5. Raw Material
A worktop is important if you want to be able to prepare an entire meal outdoors. Choose an outdoor kitchen that serves your needs.
