Outdoor Kitchens in Morristown, TN
Plan a place to cook outside that fits the patio, the way you entertain, and the trips back and forth to the house.
Start With How You Cook And Who You Cook For
- A grill with no counter space leaves nowhere to set food down
- A kitchen placed too far from the house means constant trips inside
- Smoke blowing toward seating or doors makes the space hard to use
Most outdoor kitchens start with a grill and counter space on both sides of it. Storage, a sink, a refrigerator, or bar seating get added based on how often you cook outside and how many people gather there.
Settle Utilities And Placement Early
Gas, water, and power lines change the layout and the scope, so they should be planned before anything is built. A gas line should be run by a licensed professional, and grill makers list the clearances their units need from walls and overhangs. The kitchen usually sits on a patio or deck, so it belongs in the same deck and patio plan. If the kitchen goes on a deck, composite decking is one surface option.
- A level, stable surface to build on
- Distance from the house, seating, and overhead cover
- Which appliances need gas, water, or electric
