Building an Outdoor BBQ Kitchen on a Budget

Nothing quite completes an outdoor space like a built-in BBQ kitchen. After all, what better way to entertain guests than with the perfect BBQ that serves them up with delicious sausages and burgers. Many people are hesitant to make the best use of their outdoor space because they are wary of the costs. Whilst, it is true that certain projects can be costly, you can also create your dream outdoor BBQ kitchen on a budget. Here is everything you need to know about making your outdoor BBQ kitchen dreams come true.

The Grill

One of the most important aspects of any BBQ kitchen is the grill; there are many options to choose from that won’t break the bank. A reliable grill is worth the expense, plus you can cut down on costs by using propane or charcoal as fuel.

You should definitely consider a built-in BBQ grill since these can be cost-effective and reliable. There are many types to choose from, which means you can pick the style/size that suits your outdoor space. The best BBQ grills are those that fit in well with your exterior and can act as the centerpiece of your outdoor kitchen. There are a variety of built-in gas grills to choose from that can be far cheaper than electric alternatives.

The Counters

 Another significant element to consider is the counters, and there are a variety of materials to choose from. One material that provides exceptional value for money is concrete. A smooth concrete counter looks amazing and is also cost-effective. One key benefit of concrete is that it is weather-resistant, which makes it the perfect fit. There is also the option of adding a tempered glass inlay. You can rely on our team to do a standout job with these installations, and we can tailor the countertops to suit your requirements. Our friendly team is always happy to discuss your needs and recommend the best solutions based on your particular budget.

Seating

You will also need to consider the seating for guests. Seating is a place where you can save. Rather than splurging, it can be a good idea to look at thrift stores and department stores for tables and chairs. You will be able to find some in a suitable condition that will complement your outdoor BBQ setup. This can save you a substantial amount, but if seating is a priority to you, then you can also buy new or higher end.

Appliances

There are a variety of appliances to consider, and many of them can be installed on a budget. One appliance to consider is a smoker; this is an excellent addition for those that are fond of smoking meats. You can add it on separately, or have it built directly into the countertop. The advantage of building it directly is that you have more space for preparing meats. Another appliance to consider is a pizza oven. Who doesn’t love pizza? You may think pizza ovens are expensive, but there is a range of them available on a budget.

To stop running back and forth to your home, you can also consider installing a refrigerator that will keep your food and drinks cool. This can be particularly handy for those hot and humid summer days. Another consideration to keep in mind is how to dispose of the trash. Say goodbye to unsightly bin bags and trash cans, and instead invest in a trash receptacle. This helps to declutter, and it provides an efficient way to remove the trash. You can even add an adjoining recycling bin. With these handy appliances, your outdoor yard will definitely be a place no one wants to leave.

All of these appliances are definitely worth considering. It is also important to plan the layout of these options. We can offer our professional expertise to help you install these appliances in the best and most effective manner. Our team will listen to your requirements and also take into consideration how you plan to use the BBQ space. Then we will be able to provide the most suitable solutions to fit all of your appliances in your dream outdoor kitchen BBQ grill space.

Plumbing

The plumbing is an important aspect to consider, and it is especially critical if you want a sink nearby to your outdoor BBQ. A sink reduces trips inside and means you can make the most from your outdoor kitchen. The construction of most types of outdoor kitchens will need to take the plumbing into account. All cabinets and countertops must be built to withstand certain weather conditions. This also means having a draining system that can withstand freezing temperatures. The water should be able to be shut off from inside the house. Many states and local districts can have their own guidelines on outdoor plumbing and pipes, which are important to check out.

Plumbing is a vital aspect when it comes to the health and safety of an outdoor kitchen BBQ. It is not to be taken lightly, which means you should consult with a professional before you start your plans. We can advise on the best plumbing solutions to suit your specific outdoor BBQ needs, and also to suit the layout of your outdoor kitchen.
