What is a good size for an outdoor kitchen?
When choosing the right size for your outdoor kitchen, it’s a good idea to think of it in terms of zones (eg., spaces dedicated to specific activities). The four functional zones are dry zone (storage and preparation), wet zone (sinks and beverage tubs), cold zone (fridges, freezers), and hot zone (grills, side burners, pizza ovens). Typical sizes for outdoor kitchens are:- Small: 10 linear feet
- Essentials: 13 linear feet
- Medium: 16 linear feet
- Large: 20 linear feet
