Just because the Fourth of July is over doesn’t mean the parties have to stop. Summer is such a great time to get friends and family together to have some fun. Barbequing is one of those things that brings us all together. You may have noticed a few hiccups with your outdoor kitchen. There’s no need sweat over it; leave the sweating for summer sports. Here are five things to consider adding to your outdoor kitchen in Oklahoma.

Grill. Remember back in the day when we had our charcoal grills on the porch? It took a while to get it started and we hoped there was a patio umbrella to keep us out of the sun. As outdoor kitchens have become more and more popular, grills have become more advanced. There are so many options, today, when picking a grill. Stop by your local Tulsa store and they’ll be able to help you pick one out. Don’t be afraid to make this an investment. A good grill can last a long time, and is an essential item to your outdoor kitchen.

Smoker. Smoking meat is becoming extremely popular. You get extra cool points from your neighbor when you’re having a party and you have an array of smoked meat. If you don’t already have a smoker in your Tulsa outdoor kitchen, it’s time to add one. This is another item that has several options. Nowadays, some can even connect via Bluetooth to your phone. Take the time to do your research and pick the one that works well with your set up.

Pizza oven. Pizza ovens are the newest must have to your outdoor kitchen. Who doesn’t love pizza? By adding a pizza oven to your Oklahoma outdoor kitchen, you can get that perfect pizza anytime you want. There’s no arguing over what pizza to order, you can make them all, and there’s no waiting on the delivery guy. This is something you can have built right into your outdoor kitchen.

Counter space. When you’re having your pizza oven built in, consider really making that outdoor space an outdoor kitchen. Instead of going in and out of the house to prep things, have a stone counter installed. You can do all of your prep and cooking in one area. You’ll never be the person stuck inside missing out on all of the fun.

Seating. Now that you have an awesome outdoor kitchen and have cooked some amazing food, you’re going to need somewhere to sit and enjoy it. Consider a full table and chairs to go with your outdoor kitchen. There are so many options in Tulsa, you’re guaranteed to find something that matches your outdoor kitchen. Also, don’t forget to add a loveseat and coffee table for variety. Since you’ve added those stone counters to your outdoor kitchen, grab a few bar stools to use a place to sit. With all of these areas, you won’t have to worry about not having enough seating for everyone invited to the party.

The kitchen is the center of the home. The place where friends and family gather to have fun and enjoy each other’s company. Your outdoor kitchen is that same place for the summer. Take the time and invest in making your outdoor kitchen the perfect place. You’re not just investing in your house value but your family and friends, as well.
