An outdoor kitchen is a great way to change the feel of a whole place, and actually the way that people use it.  Better suited to warmer climates, a kitchen which is on the outside of a place is easy to install, and can work very easily when you have ppl over.  They will enjoy the out door environs and you will have fun preparing food as you chat to them, rather than sitting in your little kitchen in doors in stead, and wisihing you were out in the action.  This will never have to happen if this is the case.
