Outdoor kitchen back patio ideas

IMO lose the stove and ice machine. If you want a 2nd ice machine get a small commercial bin for the garage. Humidity is going to kill the lifespan of those items in particular.

Lose the ice machine for sure. I have one and they're more trouble than it's worth. Currently mine needs a new circulating pump and water valve. That's 800 bucks that I don't want to spend on something that breaks every 18 months.

I own a pressure washing company so we clean these areas all the time and really get to detailing them for some of our high end customers. Have seen them all.

Did one a couple weeks ago that had a hibachi top next to a deep fryer that had guts of fryer hidden under cabinets. And on top of these two peices had one big stainless hinged cover. Stuff like that makes a difference. You wouldn't believe how dirty outdoor kitchens get by just being in the elements. Consistent cleaning and use is crucial otherwise everything deteriorates pretty quick. I'm yet to see a built in grill worth a hoot, most are 4 figures plus and just junk. If your a beer drinker kegarators are cool, but keeping the co2 consistent can be difficult. Think humidity messes with them. Biggest, deepest sink is a necessity and seeing as it's built from scratched and plumbed, so is a half bath or full bath if you have a pool there. Once again you're plumbed so a normal fridge will be righteous, holds way more beer than a lame under counter minifridge.

As someone who cleans for a living I love stamped concrete for your floors, but take my profession out of the equation and the travertine or Texas limestone just looks great and whatever ground you go with seal it!

Have fun with it and I'm jealous, unfortunately I'll never has something like this as I live in Metairie where space is non existent!

Large sinks with a disposal is very nice, you can use a large sink as a cooler to hold iced beer for parties too.

Why do you need a stove? As said, stuff gets dirty and breaks a lot outside. I'd put extra seating, counter space, and a gas grill that you can cook stuff on like an oven. Plenty of grills you can turn just one side burner on and use it indirect like an oven.

Also if you like to boil or fry, having some gas hook ups and burners is very nice.

The outdoor kitchen I think that is most functional of all the kitchens I have seen is one a friend of mine has and he simply built counters and underneath cabinets and left spaces for slide in/roll in appliances. He has a big sink and lots of counter space. He left a nice size area for a grill, a yeti like cooler, a fish fryer and a gas portable cook top. He did leave a space under the counter for a small dorm type refrigerator. Nothing built in

I don't care how much you spend on a gas grill it will burn out.

Not to hijack the intent of the OP, but does anyone have any recommendations of contractors around the BR area? Looking to add-on a back patio space.... gable end coming off existing roof deck.

Shoppers Choice on Coursey for any and everything for ODK's.

They have contractors

We use ours all the time. The burners on the pit did have to be replaced after 8 years.

Do you have an ice machine ?

I do not. I would like one in the future. They are pricy.

I purchased my blaze appliances from Tammy supply in Covington. The mini fridge was from Best Buy. I had my brick guys that did the brick on my house do the brick and the granite is the same that's on the inside of my house. Roughly 6k in it all together.

I have about 2 weeks left before my house is finished if you have any other questions. I may be able to help.
