6 Perfect Patio Finds For Your Outdoor Space This Summer

Summertime, and the living is easy. Many of us take that old adage to heart and work hard to create an outdoor space — whether it is a deck, porch, or patio — where we can relax, rejuvenate, and take socializing to a whole new level. While there are dozens of ways to spruce up your space — potted plants, new furniture, cool and colorful glassware — for many of us, nothing is more important than the grill.

So, what’s the “it” grill for 2015? According to Robin Kleinhans at Warren Kitchen & Cutlery in Rhinebeck, it’s definitely the Primo Oval Jr. Grill (slide two in gallery below). “It’s a multi-cooker; that’s what’s so appealing about it. It can grill, bake, roast, and smoke! The smoking aspect is important for a lot of people looking for a multi-purpose cooker,” says Kleinhans, noting that Warren Kitchen & Cutlery is the exclusive Primo dealer in the region. It’s pretty snazzy looking, too, but you can snap it up either with or without the table.

After grilling up a storm, you’ll want to collapse onto something comfortable — and stylish. Stripes are back in a big way this season, and the wider the better.
