We are in the early stages of buying a new (and smaller) home to downsize our living arrangements. That mean doesn’t mean we are downsizing the amenities, however. We are definitely considering some options that will make our life more enjoyable.
One of those options is to build a covered outdoor kitchen/dining area/patio with gas grill, pellet smoker, prep surfaces/sink, refrigerator, etc. Since it will be a covered space (and, since we are in the Pacific Northwest) with, potentially, some semi-closed-in areas, I’m also thinking about some sort of overheat exhaust system to prevent smoke build-up.
I’m wondering if others have already been down this road and have photos of their kitchens, or suggestions regarding things to include or avoid. All thoughts are welcome. Right now, I have a high-end Napoleon gas grill and like it, so may use one like it for the new kitchen. For pellet grill/smoker, I’m looking pretty hard at MAK and Pitts & Spitts units, but am still open to other considerations.
Photos, links, ideas and thoughts are all welcome here, but let’s keep the focus pretty close to building an outdoor kitchen and dining area. Many thanks.
