Outdoor kitchens are among the fastest-growing features in luxury residential construction, and the outdoor kitchen cabinet industry is growing rapidly. But they are also one of the most commonly mis-specified. For cabinet dealers working with high-end builders, architects, and designers, the risk is not whether an outdoor kitchen will look good on install day. The risk is whether it will still perform for years to come. The single biggest variable determining success or failure is the environment, specifically, whether the project is located in a coastal or inland setting.
