It is common for many up scale homes in warmer climates to have 2 kitchen. 1 for indoor and the other is BBQ.

Are you Indian? Lots of Indian families around here have kitchens in their garages.
When we were renters, you could always tell the house that had been lived in by Indian families...heavy curry smell, especially in the garage.

wife is cool with it. its her dumb idea. i got a new range and wanted the old one hauled away. she wants it in the garage so that she can use all eight burners for big parties. sometimes her cooking stank because she tries to improvise. not indian, fvck no.

i not an electrician so i dont know if my garage can handle it. i already have 3 freezers on a power surge in the garage

i have to wonder if that'd make it count as a guest house for insurance purposes? a friend of mine had to remove a commode from the workshop side room of his garage due to that.

wtf do you have 3 freezers in the garage for? It certainly can't be "so I can save money by buying in bulk" because the added expense of the electric would far surpass any savings.

Will work fine if you already have a 220v plug in there. If not then just hire a electrician and run one out there. Could possibly require a new panel depending on the rating of your current panel and how many 220v outlets you already have in the house.
