This Outdoor Kitchen

Arranged in a cooking line, the outdoor kitchen features a gas grill and masonry oven. The countertops are made of the same granite used in the indoor kitchen, which helps to link both kitchens and creates a more seamless cooking experience.

Budget

Have a certain sum in mind by deciding what's most important: Do you want the bulk of your money to go into the setting—patio, pavilion, deck—or into equipment? If you're planning to stay in your house for a long time, put your money into the setting and start with modest equipment that can be upgraded over time. If you think you may move, buy the equipment of your dreams in portable form so you can take it with you. Build it in or buy versions on wheels. These days you can even get a portable pizza oven.
