We can all agree that using the best outdoor cooking equipment and eating meals outside is fantastic. After the last year, we had Covid here in the UK, and our back gardens have become somewhat of an oasis. Here at WB Stoves, we thought we would look at ways to up your cooking game this summer with some of our favourite outdoor cooking range ideas for your garden.
Summer parties in the garden are a considerable reality this year, with travel restrictions possibly still in place throughout the season. If lifted, the talk of enormous holiday prices means many families may opt to stay put. Hopefully, good weather is on the way, and you dream of preparing the best grilling recipes with friends outdoors and summer drinks in hand while you enjoy the British summer.
However, outdoor cooking can sometimes come with a few headaches if you don’t have the correct cooking equipment setup. Carrying food and supplies in and out of the kitchen can be a bit of a hassle, even more so when you realize halfway through cooking that you’ve forgotten an essential ingredient you need right at that moment. Nobody wants the embarrassment of your current outdoor cooking equipment not being up to the task and delivering poor results. Why not go the extra mile and become the talk of the street and try something new, like making wood-fired pizzas.
This is a great question! Outdoor kitchens are extensions to the traditional indoor kitchen and can be permanent or temporary additions, such as a gazebo or pergola. They have everything you need, from cooking appliances to storage for supplies, outdoor dining areas where it’s easy to keep all chairs and tables within reach and even undercover.
Not only is it a great place to entertain, but an outdoor kitchen can also be an extension of your existing kitchen, keeping smells and mess out of the house. A wood-fired pizza oven is a great choice, providing an entertaining focal point to impress the neighbours.
If cooking outside with all the essentials at your fingertips on a professional BBQ, wood-fired pizza oven, or fire pit is your idea of domestic bliss, consider looking at these three unique outdoor cooking equipment products from some of our leading brands at WB Stoves. You can even go as far as building an outdoor kitchen of your own. Let’s face it, we have all spent too much time at home, so making our gardens more special is more important than ever. And in the good old UK climate, we must make the most of those precious warm weather months!

This outdoor Alfa pizza oven is a must for any outdoor dining table. It takes just 10 minutes to go from 0°C (32°F) to 500°C (750°F) and cooks a pizza in just 90 seconds.
The Alfa Forni One Pizza Oven is constructed from the finest materials. It is so heat-retentive that it can maintain cooking temperatures of up to 300°C (572°F) for prolonged periods powered by gas or wood. The oven door opens outwards, which quickly loads your favourite dish.
The Alfa One weighs just 50 Kg (110 lbs), making it a portable oven for making classic Italian-style pizzas in minutes. The door has a peephole for monitoring how your pizza is cooking and a heavy-duty handle that stays cool to the touch even at high temperatures.
The cooking chamber features a double-walled commercial-grade layer of ceramic fibre insulation made entirely of reinforced stainless steel. Thanks to the patented Alfa deflector, heat gradually comes out of the flue, meaning the oven is used for a long time.
The Alfa One comes in one size, with an internal oven floor size of 60×40 cm. Its outside dimensions are 73x55x48 cm, and it can be paired with a purpose-built trolley with wheels to make moving your cooker around the garden easy.
