Great progress! Looks nice! For your countertop, have you seen Cheng concrete? I built my ODK last year and spent quite a bit of time going over his site (http://www.concreteexchange.com/). He has lots of tutorials and I even found his book in the local library. They sell concrete mixes...

My scout troop bought that exact same grill for large family feasts. It can really crank out dogs / burgers / brats and we have a smaller/different griddle cover for doing pancakes. The only issue we have is that temperature control can be a bit hit or miss. Looks like a great project. I...

I've had the cyberq Wi-Fi for about a year and a half. It is awesome and one of the reasons for the outlets on the back wall ☺

The glass chips came from American Specialty Glass. They have all kinds of sizes and colors. I was about to order a variety sample set when I noticed that they will send you up to 4 samples free, just send them an email with the colors and sizes. I asked for 4 different colors and a couple...

I got the steel studs from Home Depot. There are studs (the ones with the holes cut in them every so often) and then there are the channels that have walls that are not quite as high but they are solid. The channels are made slightly wider so the studs will sit inside of them. Once you start...

Wow, how time flies. Since my last post, I have completed the countertops and the tiling. The project is now done! Here is an updater from my post over in the Primo Grill forums. I made the countertops as cast concrete with white/green/blue/turquoise glass chips. Polished from 50 grit to...

The electrician swapped out the blue plastic boxes for metal so that the gray conduit could connect to the boxes and provide a water tight seal.

The cabinets are stainless steel. They look white due to the plastic covering them for shipping.

Electrician finished his work in half a day. I've since been working on finishing the permabase on the outside. Will be ready to pour concrete for the counter tops shortly, but will have to wait until I get back from Scout camp mid June :( The countertops will be done in the garage and don't...

Moving along. Applying the DryVit to the sides and back went pretty well. Troweling it didn't take very much time and turned out fairly well. After it dried for a day or so, we then wheeled the whole thing back into place and then pulled out the furniture dollys. That was a bit of an...

The steel studs were 25 gauge from Home Depot. I put in extra studs on the three walls of each cube. The front has openings for the cabinets. Home Depot carries them, but Lowes evidently no longer carries steel studs of any variety. I did all the cutting with tin snips and then screwed them...

Since my last post, I actually have continued to work on my BBQ Island, aside from a few months off for the Kansas Winter - what can I guy do to get a little global warming around here? last fall I completed making the frames for the cabinets and positioned them on the patio. Building frames...

Update on my build. Patio is done. turned out pretty nice. Granite pavers, firepit as well The island is going to go in here: It's going to fit in like this: I've pretty much finalized my arrangement as this: I'll be using BBQGuys kingston doors and drawers. The yellow blocks at...

Thanks for the feedback. Going with 3 surfaces in order to make the pieces more manageable was one of my goals. I'm thinking of maybe sliding the grill cut out a little further towards the long end to make the large piece even more manageable. Additionally, it looks like if I go with a...

Yeah, the Primo's current location is on cinder blocks and square pavers, in front of our walk-out railing and has just the right amount of clearance to have the front handle sit 36" from the railing. So, should be in good shape. If needed I'll be able to slide the primo forward a bit and...
