Outdoor Kitchen Accessories
Apart from having an outdoor kitchen in the first place, here are some accessories and features that are must-haves when it comes to entertaining this 4th of July.
- A Quality Grill
First and foremost it’s crucial that your outdoor kitchen is equipped with the right grill. If you love to host guests, then we recommend you opt for a larger grill system. The winner of this year’s most powerful grill, the Fire Magic, Echelon, is a great option that will surely be able to handle the high demand this 4th of July. Whether you select a built-in grill or a stand alone grill, make sure that the choice you make aligns with your cooking style and is positioned in a functional place in your outdoor kitchen.
- A Refrigeration System
Of course you’ll need some type of refrigeration system. Even if your indoor kitchen fridge is within close proximity, you should consider adding a small cooler for drinks, condiments and more to make your outdoor kitchen user friendly and more functional.
- A Bar Top
Many homeowners dream of having a custom outdoor bar for family gatherings and other special events, but why not have both a functional bar and kitchen? When designing your outdoor kitchen, be sure to consider adding a bar countertop with stools so that you and your guests can sit and enjoy food and drinks by the pool or by your backyard.
- Extra Seating Space
It wouldn’t be a proper outdoor kitchen without added seating space. Whether you opt for bar-style seating as mentioned above or add an outdoor dining table and chairs, be sure to equip your space with enough seating to entertain guests, so you can make good use of your outdoor kitchen, especially this 4th of July!
- A Fire Pit or Fireplace
To really impress your guests, add a fire pit or fireplace so that you can continue to enjoy the outdoor kitchen even on those cool, crisp evenings. This outdoor kitchen accessory is definitely an addition that you, your family and your guests will be pleased about!
- Easy Indoor Access
Finally, it’s important to make sure there’s easy access from your outdoor kitchen into your home–particularly your indoor kitchen. This makes for a functional traffic flow should you need anything from your fridge or cabinets. Even if you don’t plan on bouncing back and forth between kitchens, it’s always a good idea to make sure you have the access just in case!
