How do you take all the greatness of having an outdoor kitchen and make it even better? Simple. You downsize it. Now known as the Great Australian Dream, downsizing is happening right across our fair land. From the way we live, shop and work, downsizing is making a huge difference in the lives of Aussies who still want to have it all, just at a smaller and more affordable level. And the same is true for how we barbecue. Gone are the days of having hulking great outdoor BBQs if we often don’t have the space for them. Enter the new age of the mini outdoor kitchen.

You still want to look forward to celebrating many a great birthday, Christmas, long weekend or just an enjoyable meal in your new outdoor living area.
