Looking for ideas for outdoor kitchen

20 years ago

We finished our pool two years ago. Our landscaping has tripled in size and we are now ready to concentrate on an outdoor kitchen. We have looked at a Linx gas grill but we also do more smoking with wood/charcoal so we want a very good smoker also. My husband wants a low burner (not sure what that is called) so he can fry his turkeys at Thanksgiving and also use it for crawfish boils. We have the gas and water hookups on the garage wall which is at one end of pool. Would be interested in seeing any pictures anyone has.

    Since it relates to outdoor kitchens, forgive me if I tag along with the theme. I'd like to remove a 9 ft railing section on my deck and install a wood-burning grille, probably a stainless insert, to be inserted into a rock enclosure with firebrick undoubtedly. I'm likin' this outdoor livin' alot. Any brands anybody is familiar with?

    We had gas, water and electrical on the corner of the house. The window we installed is a pass thru window to our indoor kitchen. It's not a fancy set up but we use it year round, my DH loves to bbq.

    That's a very lovely setup. Nothing like a view, too.

    Here's some pic's of a recent pool with a cabana and a summer kitchen. This buyer really stepped up by having us install cable TV, AV receiver, DVD player, and surround sound. The best summer kitchens come with all the quality stainless cooking goodies like your describing for yours.
    The low burner you mentioned is called a Power Burner. It's a dual ring side burner that's dropped to a 12 to 15" lower elevation than the countertop. This is so you can manhandle the big pots required for you to cook your crawfish or turkeys in.
    Do you know what size of gas pipe your home builder stubbed out for you? Most home builders typically stub out a 1/2" galvanized or black iron pipe for the buyers. It won't deliver enough gas to satisfy the appetite of a high BTU 36" grill or a power burner. It'll still work for slow cooking, you just can't get the max BTU's the cookware is capable of delivering for grilling or frying.



    See ya,
