From side burners and power burners to griddles, pizza ovens, and warming drawers, the right cooking appliances allow you to prepare complete meals outdoors without running back inside.

How to Plan Your Outdoor Kitchen Cooking Design
The most successful outdoor kitchens are designed around workflow. Cooking units should be placed with safety, efficiency, and convenience in mind.
- Position high-heat appliances away from seating and traffic areas
- Place cooking units near your grill for efficient meal preparation
- Allow adequate counter space between appliances for prep and plating
- Plan gas, electrical, and ventilation requirements before installation
