Time to Barbeque in Arizona

Arizona residents know that grilling is a year-round activity, and once the fall weather makes spending time outside a little more appealing, it’s a great time to consider enhancing the backyard with a new barbeque or more extensive outdoor kitchen. Holiday gatherings for a crowd and visiting family and friends throughout the winter and spring make an outdoor entertaining area a fantastic option for taking advantage of the wonderful Arizona climate.

Where to begin? A good place to start is deciding whether you prefer cooking with gas, charcoal, a wood-fired outdoor oven, or even an electric grill. Do you want a portable grill that you can relocate when needed, or are you looking for an equity boosting built-in grill or outdoor kitchen? Are you a Food-Network fan looking for a smoker, spit for roasts, or oven for pizzas? Do you want to incorporate a fridge, sink or prep table in your outdoor entertaining area or keep it simple? Clearly, the possibilities are endless.

A quality grill that has all of the features you’re looking for, from a spit attachment to extra burners, is an asset that can move with you, unlike other household appliances. On the other hand, a built-in barbeque area can add value to your home, making it more appealing to buyers when you are ready to move on. There are barbeques for every budget and skill level, so visiting retailers and browsing through home design magazines can help you decide on what features are most important to you. So grab a spatula and some of Bobby Flay’s best barbeque sauce and get ready to grill!
