6 Gorgeous Outdoor Kitchens

A long, narrow lot is the perfect place for a linear outdoor kitchen. Anchored by a fireplace and mounted outdoor TV, the resident chef never has his or her back turned to guests. The post-and-beam covering makes the space even more warm and inviting.

This space is tricked out for the party of all parties! Joining the gas grill in the array of cooking options is a kamado- style cooker and a wood-fired pizza oven. Tons of seating suits a crowd, and the timber-framed pavilion allows the festivities to go on, rain or shine.

This outdoor space is much more than a kitchen — it’s an outdoor great room in a compact space. A stone fireplace flanked by comfy seating is strategically placed near the cooking area, which also features a raised breakfast bar.

Sometimes, the basics will do just fine, and this outdoor kitchenette is a prime example that you don’t have to be elaborate to enjoy cooking outdoors. Located on the lower-level patio, the stone foundation, flooring and island surround are fire-safe and easy to clean.
