When designing your outdoor kitchen there are many things to consider including what kind of cooking surface you want, seating available for guests and other extra additions you may want to consider to make the perfect space for you and your guests!  Cooking Type: Depending on your preference for dishes or what ingredients you might be using, selecting your cooking surface type may be a tough decision. Some people prefer to cook on a conventional gas grill for an easy to learn cooking experience. Others may prefer a smoker to create delicious BBQ dishes for their family and friends. You could also make the main cooking surface a versatile custom brick oven, like the ones from Round Grove Products! If you have the budget to spare you could also include more than one of these surfaces in your outdoor kitchen to make the ultimate cooking space.  Seating: When planning for an outdoor kitchen you should also think of the space as an outdoor dining room as well because if it is p...

Although you may already have too many kitchen utensils cluttering your drawers, when you decide to buy a brick oven and create an outdoor kitchen there a few more items you should consider adding to your collection. Pizza Stone: A pizza stone helps you cook pizza the way it was intended to be cooked by providing a hot surface that will cook the crust first rather than every component of the pizza at the same time. Although pizza out of the brick oven will be better than a normal oven, no matter how you cook it, the pizza stone can help you bring it to the next level!  Infrared Thermometer: This is an important thing to obtain when you get a brick oven so you can accurately measure the interior temperature of the oven itself. Obviously, it will not have the traditional digital temperature that is found on normal home stoves, however, this device will help you ensure that your meals are still cooking at the correct temperatures.  Ash Bucket: One important thing you need to do ...

We love providing brick ovens to our customers, no matter the location that they want their unit placed. However, because of issues with land shape and object clearance problems, we can provide a modular build that can be brought in to your living space using smaller equipment so that nothing can stand in your way of getting your own brick oven from Round Grove Products !  The STAX modular system we use to install your brick oven begins with you deciding if you want simply a fireplace, a brick oven or a combo unit in your living space. After you make this decision, it is determined what pieces are needed at the worksite as, depending on the model and build selection, some units have more or fewer modules than other units do. These pieces are then brought to your home to install as we would a normal single piece brick oven, but with smaller stand-behind equipment instead of our normal larger equipment. Although this process will take a little more time than a normal Round Grove bric...
