Work Areas and Functional Zones of the Outdoor Kitchen
Outdoor kitchens use the same functional zones as an indoor kitchen, and the usability requirements for these zones are quite similar between indoors and out.
Functional zones of the outdoor kitchen include:
 Hot zones
Grills, cooktops, pizza ovens, etc.
Cold zones
efrigerators, freezers, wine chillers, etc.
Wet zones
Sinks and ice reservoirs/beverage tubs
Dry zones
Prep areas/counters and cabinets/storage
While smaller outdoor kitchens may eliminate cold zones or wet zones, one of the most important considerations for a useable outdoor kitchen is adequate space allocated for dry zones.
