Can You Cook Under an Outdoor Roof?

Outdoor cooking should be planned as a heat, ventilation and service issue—not simply as furniture placed under a pergola.

Planning guidance — final supplied configuration remains project-specific.

01

Start with the appliance

Gas BBQs, electric appliances, pizza ovens and live-fire cooking create different heat, smoke, clearance and ventilation requirements.

02

Coordinate roof and ventilation

Openable roofs and side screens can change airflow. The final arrangement should not trap heat or smoke in a way the appliance or local project requirements do not support.

03

Keep fire and local compliance separate

Apollo can coordinate product information, but appliance installation, extraction, gas, electrical work, fire-safety review and local approvals remain project-specific.
