Outdoor Kitchen Accessories
Many customers ask what outdoor kitchen accessories are available beyond the grill. Outdoor kitchen components allow you to expand functionality and enjoy the convenience of preparing, cooking, and entertaining entirely outdoors.
Side Burners — A side burner functions much like an indoor stove or cooktop, allowing you to prepare side dishes, boil water, or cook sauces without going back inside.
Access Doors — Access doors are commonly installed below gas grills for access to gas connections, or beneath sinks for plumbing access, and can also be used for general storage.
Outdoor Kitchen Cabinets & Storage — Outdoor kitchen cabinets and storage drawers are used to store grilling utensils and outdoor cooking equipment, keeping everything organized and easily accessible.
Warming Drawers — Warming drawers are thermostatically controlled, typically ranging from 175 to 230 degrees, and are ideal for keeping food warm until serving.
Trash Bins — Integrated trash storage helps keep waste contained and your outdoor kitchen clean.
Keg Dispensers — For beer lovers, under-counter keg dispensers create a built-in bar experience at home.
Ice Makers & Refrigerators — Outdoor ice makers and refrigerators are ideal for keeping beverages cold and ingredients fresh while entertaining outdoors.
Paper Towel Holders — A simple yet functional stainless steel accessory that adds convenience and a finished look.

Pro Tips for Creating an Epic Outdoor Kitchen
1. Choosing The Right Location
Are you planning an entirely self-sufficient outdoor kitchen?
If so, you'll need to choose a location with both running water and electricity for cooking and refrigeration purposes, this will permit you to run basic appliances and refrigeration units.
Consider having enough light over the counter tops and the working surfaces.
2. Design Considerations
The design is always up to you, but should keep in mind typical zones needed like:
- Preparation
- Cooking
- Plating
- Serving
Plan to have enough working space and arrange everything in a convenient way. You should have easy and direct access to both the sink and the grill to maximize your efficiency and comfort.
3. A few questions to ask yourself:
- How many cabinets or drawers are you going to need for storage purposes?
- How do you plan to shape the counter tops and the storage units located underneath?
- Do you want to enjoy family-style cooking?
If so, consider the placement of the sink on the end of the counter top. This allows people to use the running water without bumping into each other. Placing a mini-fridge in the corner can also help.
4. Appliances, Functionality, and Technology
Building Out Your Setup
We recommend you compare functionalities and look at things like
- Number Of Drawers / Cabinets (Grills, Bars etc.)
- Appliance Features & Specifications
- The Finish & Materials Used
Granite and marble are two standard options for clean and sophisticated counter tops. Stone decorations give the kitchen a rustic appeal and a lot of character.
