outdoor amour
Conceiving, creating and installing the ultimate outdoor kitchen is second nature to AjMadison.
Just like inside the home, the heart and soul of any outdoor living space is its kitchen. This is where family and friends gather to prep food, mix refreshing drinks and cocktails and keep the chef or grill meister company as they create amazing alfresco meals to celebrate special occasions or elevate the everyday. Outdoor kitchens are also a wonderful way to add interest and excitement to any renovation project and bring greater value to the home.
When it comes to outdoor kitchen appliances and accessories, there are endless makes, models and options, as well as boundless opportunities for customization that suit every need, taste and price point. This is where AjMadison comes in. Their highly-trained showroom staff and team of installation experts are here to help design and deliver an appliance package that will make outdoor dreams a reality for years to come.

The Built-In Grill vs. The Freestanding Grill
Built-in: A built-in grill is finished only on the top and front and is installed into an outdoor cabinet or hardscape. It’s best to install it into a non-combustible surface like cement or stone. Built-in grills can either be installed into a custom enclosure or used on a freestanding grill cart (sold separately). For those who entertain often, it will provide an impressive focal point to any outdoor eating area.
Freestanding: A freestanding grill can be used almost anywhere and is the most popular choice among homeowners. It can stand alone since it has matching paneling on all sides that give it a complete and finished look from every angle. It is convenient to install and many models offer storage that hides the gas tank or gas connection from view.
foodie finds
The extra ingredients for the outstanding outdoor kitchen.
Heats up to 700 degrees in minutes to cook artisan pizzas, baked bread or a favorite skillet dinner.
Extra burners for preparing sides or sauces are particularly helpful if the grill is far from the kitchen.
Offering more capacity and flexibility, a flat-top griddle allows the menu to expand.
Keep hot food at a safe temperature without overcooking or drying it out.
