When you’re planning a grill island project… One of the most daunting tasks can be getting your outdoor kitchen utilities set up. Between the outdoor kitchen gas line, outdoor kitchen electrical requirements, and water supply… It’s enough to make your head spin! But worry not, we’ll help you make sense of all this! As long as you properly prepare, there’s nothing to be confused about at all. When it comes to installing outdoor kitchen utilities… It’s always best to have your island plans ready before you install your deck or patio. Why?
This simply makes it easier to get your utilities set up properly. If you’re installing a patio… Your contractor can stub up the outdoor kitchen gas lines without having to re-do any work. Order of operations matters! Now, it’s not a complete miss if your surface is already installed… But it will certainly cost you more time and money. At the same time, you’ll also need to consider outdoor kitchen electrical requirements. There are many appliances that require electricity to function that might surprise you!
One example would be the Coyote S-Series grill. This is a gas grill. So while it doesn’t need electricity to cook any food… It does if you want the grill lights or rotisserie kit to work! In which case, you’ll need two electrical outlets to power these features. You’ll also need to consider if you want additional outlets for other purposes. Say you want to be able to use a blender outside, or charge your phone. If you do… You’ll need extra outlets! Feeling a little better about outdoor kitchen utilities? You’ll need to watch the video for full details… But we hope this at least gets you started!
