Let's begin with your outdoor kitchen. The barbecue's location tends to be haphazard, at the end of the yard, next to the patio, on an improvised clearing or atop three or four old concrete slabs.

Here are a few tips to turn your outdoor kitchen into barbecue heaven.
- Make room for your outdoor cooking. Your backyard doesn't have the same constraints as your indoor kitchen, so go for it! Big counters on both sides of your BBQ will let you do the chopping and preparing right there, under the rays, rather having to run in and out of the house.
- Organize a storage space. You will obviously need your kitchenware at hand, so install cupboards with stainless steel panels for your dishes, utensils, tongs, knives, brushes and whatever else you need to manage your outdoor feasts. For greater convenience, additional accessories like a sink or a fridge to keep cold, refreshing beverages nearby will certainly make life easier.
- Protecting your area with a roof makes sense. Just imagine the times you've had to rush indoors with two main courses in one hand and a raincoat held over your head when a sudden rainstorm hits. So heed our advice: get a roof that is designed to clear smoke and heat. Try it, you'll like it!
