Check into your local codes before you make any solid plans. We built ours as close as codes would allow. The oven had to be 10 feet away from any part of the house, so we made the base start exactly 10 feet from the house. The way it worked out in our yard, the outdoor kitchen starts about 15 feet from our back door (off the kitchen), and you have to walk approximately another 10 feet to get to the oven.

Our "real" kitchen...to get access to the brick oven we need to leave thru the side door and walk to the back yard and open the gate...a hassel. Or we can go thru the dining room family room and head to the oven..a hassel..or we can hand things thru the kitchen window. SOOOO right next to the brick oven was my daughters old "play house" its a shed that is connected to our detached garage. This fall we put tile on the floor, added lighting, counter tops, cabinets, fridge, microwave. We don't have a sink or running water but it is a god send! It saves a ton of work we keep all our paper goods out there, drinks, flour etc. so we are not running from the real kitchen to the back yard.
