Advice for outdoor kitchens

Reader Prepared Grammy asked the following question:

I’m needing some advice from others who have experience. I am in the process of planning an outdoor kitchen and a screened-in porch, which I will be starting in a few weeks (hopefully). I want an area to relax, read, and enjoy the weather and scenery. I also want an outdoor kitchen, including a wood-fired oven.

Do you or any of your readers have any experience with an outdoor kitchen? What advice would you give me? I want to learn from the experiences and mistakes of others. Harvey and Irma have made me want to start the process soon. Thanks for your help.

I have no experience with outdoor kitchens, but it sure would be nice to get input from others. So please, pitch in with your advice and wisdom, and let's give Prepared Grammy a hand.
