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>

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>

How much does it cost to build an outdoor kitchen?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-outdoor-kitchen-cost.htm">cost of an outdoor kitchen</a> is around <b>$15,500</b>. However, since outdoor kitchens are highly customizable, you could spend anywhere from <b>$5,000 to over $50,000</b> for your setup. Some important factors that can affect your pricing include the size of the kitchen, the materials you use—specifically for the countertop—the type of grill you want, and any add-on products you want coupled with your installation.</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>

Q: Does outdoor living add value to a home?

• <div><p>In most cases, yes, an outdoor living space adds value to your home. The trick to your best return on investment is to choose high-quality building materials that will look nice and durable without crossing the line into total luxury that becomes cost-ineffective. For example, there&rsquo;s no need to install marble tiles around your pool, but a durable and aesthetically pleasing deck will go a long way.</p></div>
