Living in the South Florida way of life means you can spend plenty of family time outside all year-round! It is key to set up your outdoor oasis exactly how you want it so your time with family is focused on each other. Here are a few tips for setting up the perfect outdoor kitchen.

When you are grilling outside during the summer, your air conditioner will not have to work overtime to keep your house cool. When you bake, fry, roast, and broil foods in your inside-kitchen, the temperature in your house elevates several degrees, which kicks the AC into overdrive. When you cook outdoors, you will save on energy consumption.

A top benefit of having an outdoor kitchen is that they are perfect spaces for entertaining. When food is grilled out on the patio, guests can gather around the BBQ grill and socialize as dinner is being prepared. 

Adding a summer kitchen will expand your living space!  No need to add on a room with walls and a roof; simply incorporate the space you already have on your back porch. If you have a covered patio, you are all set to bring in appliances and have the outdoor kitchen of your dreams.

The first thing to consider when building the ideal summer kitchen is yourself! Some may choose an option with two grills, add a pizza oven, a cook top and/or a smoker. Make sure you have sufficient counter space for setting up barbeques with all the fixings! The possibilities are endless!
