2. - Refrigerators: This isn't an absolute essential appliance, but if you're likely to spend more of your
time in the outdoors it makes sense to install a refrigerator. You can choose from an under counter
unit; they're handy and can be protected from the weather.
- Power: Needless to say, your plans for outdoor kitchen should include electric outlets. You may
need them for your refrigerator, kitchen light, cooking etc. Also plan for other supplies including gas
lines and water lines. You may also need an outdoor circuit breaker for your electric outlets. Make
sure that you are aware of local guidelines for compliance.
- Outdoor fireplace: This may not be an absolute essential, but a fireplace can certainly add style to
the outdoor living area. Also, for those who'd like to extend their outdoor time during the winters,
installing facilities for cold weather cooking would be of immense help. Gas patios can provide heat
up to 10 hours even on high setting.
These are just some of the things that are required to complete your outdoor kitchen setting. Make
sure that you are in compliance with all safety and health regulations set by your local
administration.
