Choose the core functions first
Start with the cooking appliance, preparation surface, washing requirement, cold storage and dry storage. Optional equipment should earn its place by solving a real use case.

Outdoor Kitchen Appliances, Refrigeration & Storage Guide
The appliance list should follow the way the kitchen will be used. A BBQ, sink and refrigerator may be enough for one project; another may justify pizza, kamado, drinks, ice and additional storage—but every addition also changes services, heat, ventilation and maintenance.
Planning guidance — final supplied configuration remains project-specific.
Match refrigeration to outdoor use
Outdoor refrigeration should be selected for the actual location, ventilation requirement, electrical supply and exposure. Do not assume an indoor refrigerator is automatically suitable for an outdoor cabinet.
Treat pizza and kamado as heat sources
Pizza ovens and kamado-style cookers can create different heat, smoke and clearance conditions from a conventional BBQ. Their position should be reviewed with the pavilion, adjacent materials and local fire or appliance requirements.
Keep storage practical
Plan where utensils, cookware, cleaning items, serving ware and waste will live. Outdoor storage should support use without encouraging unsafe storage near heat sources or blocking service access.
