Outdoor Kitchen: Your Ultimate Guide
Turn up the heat on the impression your paver patio makes by installing an Outdoor Kitchen. From the design and appliance recommendations through to the first steak on the grill, Bristoll Plantation, Inc. works with our clients to make sure the end result is the beautiful outdoor kitchen space that was envisioned all along.
Our clients tell us their expectations for the outdoor kitchen space they desire, and we make a map of those expectations. We follow that map to transform those expectations from thoughts, visions, and ideas into an actual design that can be implemented and built to your expectations.
An outdoor kitchen enhances your outdoor living space, offering a functional area for entertaining and cooking outside.
An outdoor kitchen can range from the simple, setting your propane grill onto a custom-built cabinet that we create, to the extravagant, a design created by you to include a cooktop and grill, wet bar, refrigerator, sink, granite or flagstone countertops, brick ovens, etc.
Outdoor Kitchens are the ticket for dining and socializing at home with the flavor and atmosphere of your favorite get-away destination. By choosing Bristoll Plantation, Inc., that outdoor kitchen dream will become a reality.

Planning Your Dream Outdoor Kitchen
Planning your dream outdoor kitchen requires careful consideration of several factors, including your lifestyle, budget, and available space. Start by envisioning how you want to use your outdoor kitchen. Will it be a hub for casual gatherings with family and friends, or do you envision hosting more formal entertaining events? Think about whether you want to include a dining area or a bar for added convenience and socializing.
Consider your cooking style and the types of appliances and equipment you’ll need. Are you a grill master who needs a top-of-the-line grill, or do you prefer the versatility of a cooktop and oven? Make a list of your must-haves and nice-to-haves to help guide your design decisions. This will ensure that your outdoor kitchen is tailored to your specific needs and preferences, making it a true extension of your indoor kitchen and living space.
Designing an Efficient Outdoor Kitchen
A well-designed outdoor kitchen should be functional, efficient, and safe. Here are some tips to help you create an efficient outdoor kitchen:
Layout and Work Zones
A good layout is essential to an efficient outdoor kitchen. Consider creating separate zones for cooking, prep work, and dining. This will help to reduce congestion and make it easier to move around the space. Think about the “work triangle” concept, which suggests that the sink, stove, and refrigerator should be positioned in a triangular formation to minimize walking distances and maximize efficiency. By creating separate zones, you can ensure that your outdoor kitchen is not only beautiful but also practical and easy to use.
Choosing the Right Materials for Your Outdoor Kitchen
When it comes to choosing materials for your outdoor kitchen, durability and weather resistance are key. Here are some popular options:
Stainless Steel: A popular choice for outdoor kitchens, stainless steel is durable, easy to clean, and resistant to corrosion. It’s perfect for appliances and cabinetry, providing a sleek and modern look.
Stone: Natural stone such as granite, marble, and slate is a popular choice for countertops and flooring. It’s durable, heat-resistant, and can add a touch of elegance to your space.
Brick: Brick is a classic choice for outdoor kitchens. It’s durable, low maintenance, and can add a touch of warmth and character to your space. Whether used for the structure or as an accent, brick can enhance the overall aesthetic of your outdoor kitchen.
By choosing the right materials, you can ensure that your outdoor kitchen is not only beautiful but also built to withstand the elements.
Outdoor Kitchen Essentials
Here are some essential elements to consider when designing your outdoor kitchen:
Appliances and Equipment
Grill: A grill is a must-have for any outdoor kitchen. Consider a gas or charcoal grill, or a combination of both, to suit your cooking preferences.
Refrigerator: A refrigerator is essential for keeping drinks and food cold. Depending on your needs, you can opt for a compact refrigerator or a full-size model.
Pizza Oven: A pizza oven is a great addition to any outdoor kitchen. It’s perfect for cooking pizzas, bread, and other delicious treats, adding a fun and versatile cooking option.
Fire Feature: A fire feature such as a fireplace or fire pit can add ambiance and warmth to your outdoor kitchen. It’s perfect for evening gatherings and entertaining guests, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
By considering these essential elements and designing your outdoor kitchen with efficiency and functionality in mind, you can create a space that’s perfect for outdoor entertaining and living.
