Your outdoor kitchen’s utilities are another major factor to consider in your design and installation plan. A gas grill likely will require a dedicated gas line. The addition of gas ovens and cooktops also will impact how your appliances are fueled.
Another utility you should consider when planning your outdoor kitchen: water. Sinks, dishwashers, ice makers and refrigerators all may necessitate dedicated water and drainage lines.
When adding gas or water lines to an outdoor kitchen, it is an absolute must that you work with a licensed professional to install them. This is not an area you should ever DIY. An experienced kitchen design and installation company has established relationships with experts in these areas and can manage their installation, eliminating the need for you to work with individual sub-contractors to complete this work.
