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>

Do I need to know exactly what I want before hiring an outdoor kitchen contractor?

• <div><p>No, even if you have a vague idea of what you want, it’s a good idea to reach out to a contractor that specializes in outdoor kitchens for assistance. Professionals who have constructed kitchens for other homeowners can not only help you think about the functionality and convenience of your outdoor space—which many homeowners neglect—but they can also help you choose high-quality, durable materials that meet your budget and match the rest of your outdoor space. In fact, it’s often better to contact a contractor and get the ball rolling before you have a solidified plan for your outdoor kitchen.</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 you need planning permission for an outdoor kitchen?

• <div><p>In many cases, you will not need permits to install an outdoor kitchen because it&rsquo;s not usually considered a permanent structure and doesn&rsquo;t require a foundation. If you run natural gas lines to a grill, plumbing lines to an outdoor sink, or electrical lines for lighting and power, your contractor will likely need to pull permits.</p><p>However, every municipality is different, so you should defer to a professional outdoor kitchen contractor to confirm which portions of your outdoor kitchen project require building permits.</p></div>

Q: Can Silestone be used outdoors?

• <div><p>Silestone&reg; isn&rsquo;t recommended for outdoor use because UV rays can damage the surface. Long-term exposure to direct sunlight can cause discoloration. Instead, choose an outdoor-friendly countertop material like tile, concrete, stainless steel, or natural stone. If you do choose a natural stone, make sure you either seal it or avoid highly porous stones. For example, choose soapstone over marble. </p></div>
