Build your outdoor kitchen with complete combinations

When using our complete combinations, building an outdoor kitchen is easy and the advantages are many. First of all, it’s much faster than building a custom-built outdoor kitchen, you simply choose the units you want, assemble them, and put them in place. You can also change the design by moving or adding new units, and if you changes homes, you can take your outdoor kitchen with you.

Having water nearby makes cooking easier

A sink unit with a tap makes rinsing vegetables, washing plates, and cleaning your hands during grilling easier. Just connect the garden hose to your outdoor kitchen tap (connectors can be found in most hardware shops) but remember that the water isn’t safe for drinking. To drain the water from the outdoor kitchen sink, the easiest solution is to let it flow into a container that you empty by hand.

Small outdoor kitchen ideas

Whatever the size of your outdoor dining area, a GRILLSKÄR kitchen island makes it easier to food prep, grill, entertain, and keep things tidy. The worktops in our outdoor kitchens are made of durable, easy-to-clean stainless steel. Under the worktop, there’s plenty of storage for all the items you want to have close at hand.

Create the workspace you want by adding more

If you’re a BBQ pro, why not combine two or more BÅTSKÄR closed kitchen units into a larger work surface? They also double as a gathering spot for pre-dinner drinks and summer buffets, and offer lots of storage. Worried about how to get them home? Don’t be – most BÅTSKÄR modules come as flatpacks.

Pro-level features for serial grillers

Do you want the complete outdoor kitchen experience? Meet the BÅTSKÄR series, designed for grill lovers. Lots of storage, soft-closing hinges, and a generous add-on spice rack give this outdoor kitchen an indoor kitchen appeal. The grill also cooks at a lower temperature and keeps the food warm before serving.

How to protect your outdoor kitchen

Even though our outdoor kitchens are made of durable materials, weather elements like rain, moisture, snow, saltwater, and excessive sunlight can still damage the surfaces. Don’t let water sit – wipe it away and cover the entire outdoor kitchen to protect it.
