Outdoor Kitchen Electrical — What You Need and What You Can DI Y #diy #smokegrill #bbq #grill

Every outdoor kitchen needs outdoor electrical and there is a clear line between what you can do yourself and what requires a licensed electrician. The minimum requirement is one GFCI-protected outlet near the cooking zone, but a well-designed kitchen needs one GFCI outlet at each end of the counter, a dedicated circuit for the outdoor refrigerator, and a separate lighting circuit. GFCI protection is required on every outdoor outlet in the US — regular outlets outdoors are a code violation. All outdoor outlets need in-use weatherproof covers that protect the outlet even when a cord is plugged in. You can replace an existing outlet with an outdoor GFCI if the circuit already runs to that location. Running any new circuit from your panel, trenching cable, or adding a sub-panel requires a licensed electrician. Always pull a permit for new circuits.
