Grill Station

Grills are of course essential for any outdoor kitchen. But to make your outdoor cooking area feel more like a proper kitchen, upgrade your grill to an entire station. A station at minimum includes your grill and/or griddle (charcoal, gas, or electric), prep space and surfaces, and storage for cooking utensils. To top it off, you’ll need some shade and protection from the elements - a pergola rounds out the perfect grill station setup.

To level up your station even more, you can add on additional features:

  • Mini fridge
  • Cabinets
  • Dishwasher
  • Sink
  • TV

The key to a successful outdoor grill station is having everything you need right there. With the right setup, you never have to dash inside to get plates, utensils, food, etc.

Outdoor Pizza Ovens & Roasters

In addition to a grill, an outdoor pizza oven provides a plethora of cooking options outside. An outdoor pizza oven adds a unique, smokey flavor to your food that’s impossible to replicate. Wood-fired pizza and chicken wings are a major hit at any backyard gathering.

A pizza oven also pulls double-duty as an extra source of heat. It also adds huge visual appeal to your outdoor kitchen space.

Fire Features

Fire features really take your outdoor kitchen to the next level and provide a luxurious touch. They also have a practical use of providing heat, as well. Some ways you can incorporate fire features into your outdoor kitchen include:

  • Fire pit
  • Fire table
  • Outdoor fireplace
  • Fire bowls
  • Torches and lamps

Bar Area

If you love hosting, you should consider adding a bar to your outdoor kitchen. This adds an extra place for people to gather, an easy way to serve up drinks and food, and plus - it just looks luxurious. You can ensure your bar is both comfortable and protected from the Minnesota elements by choosing surfaces that are weatherized.

A luxury outdoor kitchen is more than just a backyard upgrade - it’s an investment in your home. With premium features like a fully equipped grill station, artisanal pizza oven, elegant fire elements, and a bespoke bar area, your outdoor space transforms into a sophisticated haven for entertaining and unwinding. Designed with both comfort and function in mind, these ideas bring resort-style living to your own Minnesota home.
