Don't buy an expensive outdoor kitchen and BBQ island set from the store—it's easy, fun and affordable to build your own. Learn the steps to plan, design and build a DIY outside grill and kitchen.

The best placement for a gas grill on your deck is well-ventilated and sufficiently removed from flammable material like furniture, curtains, vinyl house siding and overhanging branches. The deck environment and access to the grill should also be considered to maximize the enjoyment of your outdoor space and grilling.
