Outdoor kitchens are everywhere. Social media and home improvement shows are packed with incredible outdoor kitchen design ideas, trends, and backyard transformations.

Everybody knows somebody who has bought one, and outdoor living is the new number 1 priority for a large portion of the American public. But why?

In fact, the November Survey Insights Report from the New Home Trends Institute states over two-thirds of homeowners make use of their outdoor spaces multiple times per week, and the benefits make it clear as to why:

• According to Zillow, an outdoor kitchen can increase the value of your home by 30%, making a backyard transformation an investment you can enjoy.
• Not only is being outdoors good for your health, it’s also an easy way to extend your square footage. An outdoor kitchen is a space to entertain, cook and relax outdoors, transforming your backyard into an outdoor kitchen, bar, and lounge!
• Whether you’re a budding amateur cook, or just enjoy grilling on the weekends, an outdoor kitchen is the ultimate way to expand your culinary arsenal without redesigning your existing kitchen. The choices are HUGE! Wood fired ovens, grills, griddles, smokers and more. Pair all this with a kegerator or beverage center, and you’ll never want to leave your outdoor kitchen.

So, you should get an outdoor kitchen, and you likely want one. But how do you purchase one?
