Ready for Summer – Outdoor Soapstone

You don’t have to have an outdoor kitchen to enjoy the benefits of soapstone in the great outdoors. There are multiple ways to enjoy soapstone during the warm weather, in ways that are small and big.

Why Soapstone

As we mentioned with whiskey rocks, soapstone has an ability to retain heat, and won’t crack under extreme heat or cold. This makes it a perfect, maintenance- and worry-free material when it comes to the outdoors. Homeowners won’t have to worry about their soapstone during winter months when their outdoor kitchens might not be in use, though soapstone fireplaces allow for a cozy outdoor space even in winter months. And during the summer, storms and heat won’t impact the soapstone either.

So whether you want to enjoy a chilled drink, or you want to invite friends over to sit around your outdoor bar, soapstone is the first material you should consider.
