So as you can see, the outdoor kitchens differ hugely in what you can get, and at what price. We’ve tried to break this down into three easy steps to help you down the decision-making journey:

• Step 1 – pricing: Eliminate the outdoor kitchens that aren’t in line with what you want to spend – whether that’s the higher-priced brands or the entry-level basic kitchens.
• Step 2 – appearance: Choose what style of kitchen you like. For the majority of people, it simply comes down to what they like the look of. Appearance is a key part of the decision, as your outdoor kitchen will most likely be a prominent feature in your outdoor social space.
• Step 3 – features: Now that you know which kitchen you’d like to go with, now is the time to decide which features and BBQs you would like in your kitchen.
