While summer doesn't technically start until June 21, it's
Memorial Day weekend when families aim to move their
cooking outside. With the school year wrapping up and
vacations on the horizon, enjoying your outdoor space
allows you to usher in summer by embracing the warmer
weather.
Outdoor kitchens come in many styles and price ranges with
focal points that range from built-in grilling spaces to wood-
fired brick ovens, depending on your cooking style and
desires. First, come up with a blueprint that includes what
you want to cook and what type of hang-out space you wish
to accompany it. (Some outdoor kitchens even boast big-
screen TVs!). Then, devise a plan that incorporates your
ideas into an easily-constructed space.
