Outdoor kitchens can quickly get expensive, but there are a few things you can do to help keep costs down, including the following:

• You can tackle the parts of the project that are DIYable, like finishing cabinets, installing fixtures, and building seating.

• Keep your kitchen small and make a big impact with proper planning and upgrading the essential components instead.
