All outdoor kitchen projects are different from each other.
The important thing, in any case, is that you get one that suits you and makes you love spending time cooking on your grill(s).
Obviously, there are several elements to consider when it comes time to design your future haven of peace: the dimensions, the desired ambiance, the modules, the accessories, etc. These decisions may seem numerous and/or complex, but our team of experts at BBQ Québec is here to help you in your choices.
One option that may interest you is to opt for an outdoor kitchen made with prefabricated modules. Why? For all the reasons that we present below.
The advantages of a modular outdoor kitchen
A custom kitchen requires a lot of thought and investment. We all know someone who has renovated their kitchen and for whom choosing which handle goes on which drawer was becoming hell. One solution to this is to go with a kitchen made up of prefabricated modules. There is much less headache and the result can be just as striking.
Especially since, if you are a person who likes things to be uniform, you will be happy with this type of kitchen, because the choice of color, in particular, is limited. Your counters, your accessories, and even your BBQs (depending on whether it applies to those that interest you) can all be made of stainless steel, for example. You will therefore have a space with a modern look where everything matches.
Aside from the simplicity aspect, a "pre-made kitchen" also takes less time to design and install. To be able to quickly enjoy your new favorite work and rest space, it is therefore an excellent choice. (Please note, we still recommend that you meet with one of our advisors in advance to begin your project since it will take approximately 3 weeks for the manufacturing and installation of the modules to be completed. [If we already have the module you are interested in in stock, however, it can be delivered to you the following week.])
The financial side is not negligible either. Yes, there are fewer choices to "customize" your kitchen with this option, but the price is lower too. And, who knows, maybe you prefer to save on countertops, but spoil yourself with accessories. The money you don't spend somewhere can be reinvested elsewhere.
Available accessories
Speaking of accessories, there are several that you can include in your kitchen. Whether you want a sink, a faucet, large drawers, a cabinet for your propane tank, a paper towel holder or other, it is possible to add them.
Although they are not technically accessories, you can even have a bar made or a granite-topped island installed in your kitchen. With our suppliers, this is something that is achievable; you are not limited to “standard” modules.
Why choose our suppliers?
To offer you the largest possible selection, we do business with two companies for prefabricated modular outdoor kitchens. In both cases, the products are all durable and of quality (you won't have to worry about it in the winter, they are "made tough" to withstand the cold season. 😉)
One of the companies we work with is from Quebec (its products are also manufactured here) and the other is a major internationally recognized brand. Whichever one you choose, you are sure to be satisfied with your choice.
An exclusive product
One thing that may interest you, too, if you want a "pre-made kitchen", is the Alesia module exclusive to BBQ Québec (the Alesia M23). It is a 72-inch module made of "stainless" with a black granite countertop, and drawers, including an 18-inch one that comes with a trash can, in which you can fit a Napoleon Big32 or Bipro500 gas BBQ.
This module will be available in spring 2023. Our advisors will be happy to tell you more about it during your meeting.
