Mission
Make planning, building, and cooking in an outdoor kitchen straightforward—so weekend projects become great meals, not headaches.

Who We Are
Editors, testers, and photographers who have served in various roles within the StrongMocha News Group. We love open‑air cooking and bring newsroom discipline to plans, parts, and product picks.

How We Help Readers

  • Plan zones, clearances, and workflow that fit your space.
  • Compare fuels (gas, wood, pellet) and heat management for ovens and grills.
  • Choose materials that hold up to sun, rain, and freeze‑thaw cycles.
  • Clarify venting, gas‑line basics, and deck vs. patio trade‑offs.
  • Provide party‑flow and food‑safety checklists for smooth hosting.

What We Publish

  • Planning & layout, island shapes, and storage design.
  • Materials & surfaces: counters, cabinets, grouts, and expansion joints.
  • Fuel & heat: BTU, preheat, searing zones, thermometer use.
  • Safety & codes (informational) and weatherproofing strategies.
  • Cooking techniques and entertaining playbooks.

How We Work

  • We prioritize clarity, safety, and local‑code awareness; we’re not a substitute for licensed pros.
