Regardless of whether it’s fueled by propane or charcoal, a grill is definitely the all-star in an outdoor kitchen. A deluxe grill has the ability to generate a distinct sense of power and satisfaction in the adept griller. Like all MVPs, however, a grill can only shine the brightest when supported by a great team. Let’s take a look at which outdoor appliances deserve to be featured in your backyard paradise.

Power Burner

When grilling delicious food for a party, you may discover that a guest has specific dietary restrictions. During such an event, a power burner is mandatory. This appliance provides homeowners with a way to cook special meals, such as vegetarian or diabetic, separately. Being able to prepare the main course and specialty meals simultaneously is the ideal way to serve your guests at the same time.

Outdoor Refrigerator

No outdoor living space is complete without an outdoor refrigerator. Homeowners can efficiently store all of their grilling essentials nearby, and a tasty beverage too. A fridge also makes it possible to safely store uncooked food. Which makes it possible for cooks to reduce the need to go indoors and avoid leaving the grill unattended.

Equipping an outdoor living space with a traditional refrigerator instantly improves the functionality of your backyard paradise. Opting to install a two drawer fridge, on the other hand, doubles the available storage space. The extra cool storage area significantly reduces the amount of time needed to cook up a massive meal.

Ice Machine

During any festive cookout, ice cold drinks are vital. They provide guests with a refreshing way to stay cool and hydrated. An ice machine is a reliable way to address this summer essential. After all, it is a virtually endless supply of ice. Without having to rely on the main fridge for ice, homeowners can focus on more important things, like enjoying the cookout.

Power Griddle

Quickly cooking a feast outdoors is easy with the right appliances. With a power griddle, homeowners can create their dream buffet without needing to cook all day. Savvy chefs can simultaneously make pancakes for breakfast and grilled sandwiches for lunch as burgers sizzle away on the grill. Or indulge in a surf and turf meal by cooking delicate seafood on the flat-top mini grill and steak on the big grill. The endless possibilities of this versatile appliance are rather impressive.

Equipping an outdoor living space with a grill is a great way to start building your backyard paradise. Installing complementary appliances, such as a two drawer refrigerator, can significantly enhance your grilling experience. Design your outdoor living space with the cookout essentials you need for delightful summer fun.

A Walk-through of the Lynx Napoli Pizza Oven

We all love barbecues and traditional barbecue foods: hot dogs, hamburgers, pasta salad, etc. But sooner or later, we get a bit jaded by the same dishes. We’re sure many of you have the same feeling. Lucky for us, outdoor pizza ovens have become a new trend. Imagine delicious pizzas in addition to your traditional outdoor barbecue favorites!

Lynx is an American brand that specializes in high-end kitchen appliances. They feature outdoor grills, refrigeration, and storage. Their pizza oven is a new addition to their line of outdoor products and a way to “spice up” your outdoor cooking. So, is it worth your attention?

Napoli Pizza Oven Features And Specs

This oven has a very stylish, sleek, stainless steel exterior with contemporary blue LED lights and hand-polished mirror edges. No doubt, it is made to impress at first sight. The dome is made of a refractory material that reflects heat onto the cooking surface made of quality ceramic. To make cooking more convenient, the baking stone pulls out so you can check on your food and pull your pizza off with the pizza peel. The top of the oven is chimney reversible, meaning you can vent either towards the front or rear.

It features 400 square inches of cooking surface, infrared heating, and a concrete refractory dome. Most pizza ovens have a direct flame burner; the Napoli Pizza Oven is equipped with two infrared burners rated for 40,000 BTUs of power. It allows the oven to heat up quickly and is ready for baking in one minute. The whole pizza is baked in five minutes, which is much faster than if you cook a pizza in a regular oven.

And even though it’s a pizza oven, you can also cook tasty roasts, quesadillas, and more. The oven comes with a recipe book to help you get the most from your new oven.

Warranty

The burners and the body are warrantied to be free from workmanship defects when subjected to normal use by the original buyer. Manifolds, gas valves, refractory dome, and base are warrantied for 5 years from the date of purchase. All other components are warrantied for two years, and Lynx will replace defective parts at no cost for one year from the purchase. This includes shipping costs and service labor when necessary.

All Lynx products are made in the USA by experienced craftsmen. For pizza lovers, you are sure to impress at your next outdoor party with this oven.
