Is a fireplace the same as a firepit or outdoor oven?

• <div><p>A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren’t technically a fireplace as it isn’t enclosed. An outdoor oven—commonly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-outdoor-pizza-oven.htm">outdoor brick pizza ovens</a>—often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you’d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons. </p></div>

When is the best time to build an outdoor kitchen?

• <div><p>While it is possible to do this kind of project at any point in the year, save it for the mildest parts of winter if you can. That way, your backyard won’t be under construction during prime grilling season. Plus, contractors tend to be less busy on outdoor projects then, so you might get a better deal and the installation might take less time.</p></div>

Q: How much maintenance will my outdoor room need?

• <div><p>Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.</p><p>Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to build a pizza oven?

• <div><p>Whether or not it&rsquo;s cheaper to build a pizza oven depends largely on what style you opt for and which tools and materials you already have. For example, having a surplus of leftover fire bricks from another DIY project will reduce the amount you need to build a new pizza oven and cut costs to boot. On the flip side, if you don&rsquo;t have any of the required materials, buying a pre-made option will be cheaper and require far less work to set up&mdash;between just <b>$300 and $1,000</b> for the best versions.</p></div>

Q: Do I need an outlet in my outdoor kitchen?

• <div><p>If you plan to have a refrigerator or other appliances that require electricity, you will need an electrical outlet in your outdoor kitchen. Be sure to comply with all National Electrical Code&reg; (NEC&reg;) codes for electrical wiring and outlets in kitchens. If you do not plan to install a refrigerator or any other appliances that require electricity as part of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/outdoor-kitchen-entertaining-features.htm">outdoor kitchen features</a>, then you do not need to install electrical outlets. However, it is a good idea to install at least one electrical outlet should you decide to use any appliances that require electricity.</p></div>
