Outdoor kitchen

[Anduril]

After working on it intermittently for quite a while (as time and $$$ would allow), we finally finished our outdoor kitchen a few weeks ago. Just in time for it to stop being over 100 degrees every day so we actually feel like using it!












And here's a few of the whole area

And here's everything all lit up at night

very nice construction pics...

perhaps a deep fat fryer on the unused hole in the T that is plugged for future use?

 

[Anduril]

The unused hole in the T is going to branch off into at least 2 more gas connections for whatever we need (I already have the parts, I just haven't installed them yet). A patio heater is probably the most "needed" right now, as it's finally starting to get a bit chilly at night, but a portable oven, second set of burners (we have an old camp stove I can drill out the jets on to accomodate natural gas), tabletop grill (so we can do the same thing as those Korean/Japanese BBQ places we like so much that have the grills in the middle of the table), and a big-[censored] burner for boiling and frying are all possibilities. Quick connects and long hoses will make it easy to swap around for what we're actually using at the time.

Good job man! only sort of issue i see is the type of bulbs you used for your lighting. We have a very large patio and sit outdoors and grill out and i had to change all my bulbs to the LED yellow due to the bugs. I see you have a few ducks so maybe they feast on all your bugs.. Also i dont see any flowers...Marigolds are great for repelling insects as well.

I like your cabinet work..looks like angle iron and flat bar with self tappers?

PS i got my LED yellow bulbs at wal-mart..if u go that route. Supposed to last 10 years or something like that.

Actually it's roof drip edge painted black. A lot cheaper than angle iron. The Z-shaped braces are flat bar steel though. Haven't really had a problem with flying bugs - just roaches, which the chickens and ducks seem to be doing a good job of keeping under control, and ants which remain a constant pain in the backside - and I don't think I'd be able to stand yellow light to be honest.

Our dirt is absolute [censored] (very hard clay that might as well be rock in some places) and it probably rains 5-10 times a year so I really don't want to mess with flowers. Besides, the birds would eat them.

Where's the smoker? The Pizza oven?

Just kidding (sort of). Nice work, looks good, but of course what is far more important is using it with friends and family. A tin pot dug into the ground is awesome if it's got hot coals and something cooking in it every day.

Nice job, I'm sure you'll be adding and expanding it as time goes on.

And the BITOG mingle event is when?

Nice job!

 

[Nick1994]

Wow! You did an awesome job.

I have a flood light fixture on the side of my house, for years I had regular CFL bulbs in there and the bugs loved them.

Switched to regular LED bulbs and the bugs are about 95% gone

OK, I'm officially handing you my man-card.

You did really, really good there.
