1) Refrigerators
In Houston, the humid weather can warm up your cold beverages quickly! With a beverage cooler or refrigerator, you won’t have to worry about serving your guests lukewarm sodas or hot waters. An outdoor refrigerator is necessary for keeping your refreshments cool.
ProTip: When you get your new outdoor refrigerator near your pool, stock it immediately so that guests can serve themselves at your next pool party!
2) Overhead Fans
The Houston humidity is unavoidable, especially during the summer months. You can still feel comfortable in your backyard when you have overhead fans above your outdoor kitchen to help eliminate any heat accumulation. The air circulation outdoor fans provide can also contribute to fending off any flying pests like gnats or mosquitos that might flock to your outdoor kitchen in the hot summer months.
3) Outdoor Grill or Smoker
Your outdoor kitchen isn’t complete without an outdoor grill. For some people, simply having an outdoor counter space for drinks and food is enough to entertain friends and family. For others, the enjoyment of cooking and mingling is what makes the get-together worthwhile. Grilling outdoors while being able to converse with guests is something we Texans pride ourselves on! It’s a unique experience to sit outside and smell the delicious food as it grills. An outdoor grill is a necessary addition to spruce up your backyard.
