We\u2019ve been working on a few updates inside, but we can\u2019t wait to start building an outdoor kitchen. We would love to include a combustion stove but, of course, we want to be careful and not run into any issues down the road. How can we proceed?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>-Faye T.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A: The trick with combustion stoves is to give them adequate space away from anything flammable or heat-retaining. It makes for a tricky design in an outdoor kitchen. You might want to consider going with a style almost like a galley kitchen with an outdoor island. That way you can have the workspace without the threat of catching it on fire from the heat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>-Carson A.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><button class=\"more-link\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"><\/span><\/button><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1271,"featured_media":35331,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[1591,111,3791,53],"class_list":["post-35241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-a-pro","tag-ask-a-pro","tag-carson-arthur","tag-outdoor-kitchen","tag-patio","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
