An Oasis in the Desert

A great patio area to dine and entertain guests

The outdoor cooking area is equipped with a natural gas grill as well as a small refrigerator to keep the beverages cool.

For some desert dwellers an oasis conjures up visions of a pool and palm trees. However, as a dedicated griller my idea of paradise is an outdoor cooking and entertaining area. My in-laws built such a space in their yard and I have been fortunate enough to enjoy the benefits. This space looks to the west and provides the perfect setting for a meal as the sun sets. As the weather begins to cool down I looked forward to the meals our family will share in this wonderful outdoor space.
