If you’re the kind of person who finds inner peace while glazing fatty ribs on a smoke-spewing barbecue, an outdoor kitchen isn’t just an indulgence—it’s a necessity. But for most in-the-field chefs with a flair for the dramatic, open-air set-ups are a far cry from their indoor counterparts in both form and function. The reason? Traditional materials like marble—which stain easily, break often, and are famously temperamental—simply can’t last long outside, exposed to the elements. (And let’s face it, even inside these materials often fall short.) Instead, outdoor cooks who are unafraid to get dirty prefer luxe quartz surfaces from [Caesarstone’s new Outdoor Collection](https://www.caesarstoneus.com/spotlights/outdoor-quartz/). Durable and sleek, these counters elevate whatever’s on the menu, from casual charbroiled burgers to delicate filets of salmon.
