This book helps homeowners evaluate their outdoor kitchen needs and wishes, explore the available options, and identify choices that will work for them.
Charts, graphs, and cutaway diagrams pinpoint essential information, whether the homeowners are building the kitchen themselves or hiring a contractor to do the work.
Inspirational photos of existing outdoor kitchens range from basic to elaborate. Real-life examples show the variety of amenities available and provide ideas for combining materials to create a style that harmonizes with the home's architectural style.
The book gives plenty of practical advice for addressing each element needed in an outdoor kitchen: cooking surfaces, food preparation surfaces, and storage for food and supplies.

As indoor kitchen design books do, The New Outdoor Kitchen covers initial design and planning and, in subsequent chapters, covers "stove" options (grills, smokers, wood-fired ovens); the rest of the kitchen (outdoor refrigerators, sinks, cabinets, and countertops); the entertaining and eating areas (including a discussion of outdoor heaters, social fire-fireplaces, firepits, and chimineas--and bug control to increase your season of enjoyment); and, finally, the grace notes of the outdoor kitchen--lighting and sound systems, plantings, and water features. Ten portfolio kitchens will be laced between the chapters, and the book will conclude with an extensive source list. The kitchens pictured in the book will run the size, price, ambition, and creativity gamut, from kitchens sited on decks and patios to a small urban backyard set up to elaborate built-in, freestanding outdoor environments.
