Bringing the Indoors Out… Directbuy of Denver Offers Tips on Setting Up the Perfect ‘outdoor Kitchen’
DATELINE: WESTMINSTER, ENGLEWOOD, DENVER, CO …An “outdoor kitchen” used to mean roughing it over an open fire and sleeping on the ground. Nowadays, what items used to be considered indoor-only are making their debut outside, especially when it comes to outdoor kitchens—a hot new trend that’s taken cooking on the grill from a summer activity to a year-round thing. DirectBuy of Southeast Denver and DirectBuy of Northwest Denver, the leading members-only showroom and home design centers, not only sell “outdoor kitchen” units and other accessories at manufacturer’s low prices, but also offer some helpful pointers on selecting the right equipment and setup for your home.
For starters, when it comes to selecting a grill, DirectBuy recommends considering:
Stainless steel gas or charcoal grills – outdoor kitchen means just that: outside! Your kitchen will be exposed to sun, wind, snow, rain and extreme heat. Even covered, your grill will be exposed to the elements to a certain degree and you want a grill made of material that will withstand bad weather and corrosion.
Free-standing or under-the-counter refrigeration units – help minimize trips to the “other” kitchen and gives you a place to store leftovers for the next cookout.
Infra-red burners – make sure the grill you do select uses infra-red burners, which heat up faster.
Storage – choose a grill with plenty of shelving and cabinets
“The beauty of the outdoor kitchen is it reduces trips to the real kitchen to get supplies. This means you can actually spend time with your guests while preparing your meal. That’s why it’s just as important when selecting your outdoor kitchen to not forget the comfort of your guests,” said Gerald Reif, owner of DirectBuy of Southeast Denver. “DirectBuy also gives members the opportunity to save a lot of money by buying furniture for their outdoor kitchen, directly from the manufacturer.”
When it comes to selecting furniture for your outdoor “dining room,” there are a number of options in terms of style—sling, metal, cushioned and strapped to name a few–and materials—aluminum, iron, resin, teak, wood, wicker, fabric and vinyl. More choices mean more decisions on materials, fabrics and colors. DirectBuy not only has great outdoor furniture at manufacturer-direct prices, but also designers who can help you make some of those decisions.
“One safe rule of thumb is unless you’re planning to buy an entire set of outdoor furniture at once, stick with neutral colors like white, taupe or sandstone. Even if the shades aren’t a perfect match, it won’t matter if there’s a little distance between items,” said Reif.
Since 1971, DirectBuy has helped consumers enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, and accessories, by providing an avenue to purchase directly from the manufacturer. DirectBuy offers consumers a comfortable, welcoming setting where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.
Locations of the two DirectBuy showrooms serving the greater Denver are: DirectBuy of Northwest Denver, 6424 West 91st Avenue, Westminster, CO, 303-429-1262; and DirectBuy Southeast Denver, 6950 South Tucson Way, Suite L, Englewood, CO, 303-874-1500.

Lodge Logic LPG13 Pro 20-by-10-7/16-Inch Cast-Iron Grill/Griddle $29.00 The one thing that probably discourages more people from purchasing and using cast iron is maintenance. Like carbon steel woks, cast iron cooking pieces require “seasoning.” To many this is a mysterious or overly time-consuming process. Even if you treasure fond memories of eggs and pancakes cooked in grandmother’s ancient, blackened skillet, you might have no idea how to turn your new pan into su… |
