Outdoor Entertaining Options That Aren’t A BBQ

It may be February, but temperatures in Southern California are warming up, and people are hitting the beach again. That means it’s time to start cooking outdoors again too. Hardscape Concepts has compiled a list of our favorite outdoor fixtures for cooking and entertaining that go beyond the traditional BBQ satellite.

Just try gathering your friends around this thing on a warm summer evening.

This is a great option for people with limited space who still love to entertain. Instead of separating your cooking and dining areas, a BBQ picnic table combines them to create a unique dining experience. Those who prefer their steaks rare will be happy they can keep their food away from more zealous grillers, and cleanup is minimal at each station.

Wood-Burning Oven

Best-known for artisan breads and Neapolitan pizza, wood burning ovens or “cob” ovens are perfect for baking almost any dish, and you’ll look incredibly professional using your wooden peel to slide food in and out like they do at the fancy pizza shops. Some designs combine ovens with fireplaces on bottom, making this a cozy option for entertaining your friends and family outdoors.

Outdoor Kitchen

Finally, this is the ultimate outdoor entertainment environments. We love the idea of being able to bake cookies while supervising your kids in the pool, or preparing Thanksgiving dinner in between plays during the family football game. An outdoor kitchen is exactly what it sounds like – an additional room on the property for food preparation, complete with counter space and appliances. Often these kitchens incorporate specialty features that might be difficult to install in an indoor kitchen, such as a brick oven or a wood-burning stove.
