What kind of bricks do you need for a brick oven?

• <div><p>Use fire bricks for a brick pizza oven. These bricks are typically used for fireplaces and chimneys as they can withstand high temperatures from heat sources. If you attempt to use any other kind of bricks, it’s likely that this material will crack from such high heat exposure in the best case—and potentially explode and cause serious harm in the worst case. </p></div>

Should you buy or build an outdoor fireplace?

• <div><p>Deciding whether to buy a prebuilt fireplace kit or build one from scratch comes down to aesthetics, available space, and budget. Many homeowners like the convenience and lower cost of prebuilt options—around <b>$1,500</b>—versus the involved planning and construction of a larger fireplace. Another bonus: you can usually move prebuilt units. Custom projects are more common when homeowners have access to a larger budget and more area in the yard to place the fireplace. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of an outdoor kitchen?

• <div><p>Outdoor kitchens enhance entertainment space, increase home value, and provide convenient cooking in outdoor settings.</p></div>

Q: Will I need permits for an outdoor kitchen?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">building permits</a> for an outdoor kitchen. Generally speaking, you&rsquo;ll need building permits for anything with a permanent foundation, and since outdoor kitchens typically require a concrete foundation, they demand building permits. Outdoor kitchen permits usually cost between <b>$250 and $500</b>, but you could pay as much as <b>$2,000</b> for larger or more involved kitchens. You might also need separate permits to run utility lines to your kitchen, which could add an additional <b>$75 to $200</b> to your installation cost.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a built-in grill against the house?

• <div><p>No. Placing a built-in grill against the house is discouraged due to safety concerns. Building codes and regulations often require a minimum distance (typically 10 feet or more) between a gas grill and any combustible structure, including a house. Placing a grill too close poses a fire hazard and risks damage to the siding or structure, potentially leading to carbon monoxide buildup. It's essential to consult local building codes, follow manufacturer guidelines, and prioritize safety by positioning the grill at a safe distance, ideally in a well-ventilated outdoor kitchen or designated grill area.</p></div>

It was almost perfect. There was a slight problem with the tub spout leaking, which was not the fault of Kitchen and Bath. They came back out when the problem was discovered and was able to order a new spout and install that without any more issues.
