FAQs

When it comes to creating an unforgettable outdoor entertaining experience, having the right appliances is key. The below appliances can transform your backyard or patio into a functional and stylish space where you can cook, dine, and relax with friends and family: 
  • BeefEater BBQs: For grilling and smoking delicious food.
  • Tefal’s Pizza Oven: For a gourmet pizza experience without leaving home.
  • Samsung’s Terrace Outdoor TV: For enjoying movies and sports under the stars.
  • Sirius alfresco rangehood: To keep your outdoor cooking area clean and smoke-free.

To create the perfect outdoor entertainment area, focus on comfort, functionality, and style. Incorporate comfortable seating, a well-equipped outdoor kitchen with appliances like a barbecue and pizza oven, and stylish lighting to set the mood. Consider adding a fire pit or outdoor heater for warmth and ambiance, and don't forget to create a relaxing seating area with cushions and throw pillows. An outdoor TV could also be considered for easy entertaining.

BeefEater BBQs are ideal for outdoor entertaining due to their:
  • High-quality construction: Built to last with durable materials.
  • Versatile cooking options: Offering grilling, smoking, and roasting capabilities.
  • Innovative features: Including side burners and rotisserie options.
  • Stylish designs: Complementing various outdoor spaces.
  • Excellent performance: Providing consistent heat and even cooking results.

Pizza makers, like Tefal’s Pizza Pronto Outdoor Gas Pizza Oven (JM4188ZO) can be used outdoors for simple alfresco cooking and entertaining. Whilst it’s designed for use outside, we recommend using it undercover, such as a patio or balcony. This will protect it from the elements and ensure optimal performance. 

To set up your outdoor entertainment system, first choose a suitable location with ample space and protection from the elements. Install your outdoor TV (like Samsung’s 55" The Terrace Outdoor TV QA55LST7TAWXXY) securely to a wall or stand, and connect it to your audio system, gaming consoles, and other devices using HDMI cables. Ensure proper power supply and consider adding a weatherproof cover for protection when not in use.
