FAQs

Question 1

What is the best distance between my outdoor kitchen and the house?

Accepted Answer

To reduce the risk of a fire hazard, experts in Australia  recommend that all heat-producing appliances should be placed at a minimum of 10 feet away from a home or any flammable structure such as wooden awnings. This means that grills, BBQs, and ovens should be distanced from the home.

Question 2

What appliances does my outdoor kitchen need?

Accepted Answer

Although the number of appliances in your outdoor kitchen is entirely up to you, having more facilities improves functionality. At a bare minimum, you’ll need a cooking source, whether that’s a BBQ, grill, or oven. Charcoal BBQs are a popular choice in Australia because of their small, convenient size and authentic smoky taste.

Question 3

Does my outdoor kitchen need a sink?

Accepted Answer

Outdoor kitchen sinks are a brilliant way to contain all preparation and cleanup within the outdoor space. This means you won’t have to constantly move between your indoor and outdoor kitchen and potentially miss out on the party outside. Alongside outdoor kitchen cabinets, you’ll be able to keep all your dishes outside, making outdoor dining incredibly easy and convenient.

Question 4

Do I have to cover my outdoor kitchen when I’m not using it?

Accepted Answer

Because outdoor kitchens are exposed to the elements, professionals suggest that covering all surfaces will improve their longevity. This is particularly important in the colder months when the conditions can become harsh and potentially damage exposed appliances. Kitchens situated beneath an outdoor roof or shelter are less likely to require coverings throughout the year.
