Outdoor Kitchen Electrical Requirements | Complete Guide for Coyote Appliances

When it comes to outdoor kitchen electrical requirements… Navigating your needs can prove to be quite complex! There are a ton of appliances that require electricity to function… And it’s difficult to know what exactly you need! So in this video, we seek to demystify outdoor kitchen electrical requirements. Specifically when it comes to Coyote appliances! Alright, let’s take a closer look.

One of the most common electrical appliances you’ll incorporate into your island is an outdoor refrigerator. For Coyote fridges… They’ll come with a 4 ½ ft long cord, with 3 prongs on the end. This can be plugged into a standard electrical outlet. So in your design… We recommend having an outlet as close to the fridge as possible. You want to leave plenty of slack in your power cord. Next, let’s turn our attention to the pellet grills.

While it’s fueled by pellets… You’ll need electricity for ignition, temperature control, and the digital display. This outdoor kitchen electrical requirement is simple! The pellet grill will plug into a standard 120V outlet just fine. It’s recommended that you have this outlet inside the island to protect the cord from the elements.

The warming drawer is where it can get a little tricky! If you have the standalone warming drawer… It will have to be hardwired. This does require an extra step! But if you have the warming drawer combo with storage… It will already be wired for you. In this case, you’ll plug it in as normal. Overall, outdoor kitchen electrical requirements aren’t that bad! Most appliances fit into a standard 120V outlet… Without any additional work. Hopefully, you’re feeling a little more confident about your project! If not, we’re here to help!
