Sukie

Sukie is the editor behind Outdoor Kitchen Setup. The site exists because outdoor kitchen sizing information is scattered across manufacturer PDFs, contractor forums, and code documents that rarely agree with each other — and because getting a countertop depth or a grill cutout wrong is an expensive mistake to discover after the concrete has cured.

Every guide here starts from primary sources: manufacturer specification sheets, the published clearance requirements in NFPA 58 and the International Residential Code, and the kitchen sizing standards maintained by the National Kitchen & Bath Association. Where those sources disagree, or where a figure depends on your local jurisdiction, the guides say so explicitly instead of presenting one number as universal.

Sukie does not accept payment from manufacturers for coverage or placement. The site earns commission through the Amazon Associates programme when readers buy through product links, which does not change which products appear or what the guides say about them.
