1. Happy New Year! On the first of each month, a contest "theme" will be announced (i.e. water clarity, family fun, decking, custom features, lighting, scenery, etc)
2. Members have 10 days to upload ONE image for consideration; Photo must be related to the thread titled theme for that month.
3. Per general TFP rules, nothing profane, political, or insulting.
4. The first 10 days is the submission period. Posts are limited to ONE image ONLY. No discussion posts yet. This will make viewing much easier for all.
5. Days 11 - 15 the thread will be locked and is for voting only. No more uploads. Viewers now have a final opportunity to vote (or modify their selection) for their favorite upload.
6. Members are encouraged to use an emotion icon ("Like" or "Love") to vote for their favorite upload; it will be tough, but select only one favorite.
7. On day 16, emotion Likes/Loves will be tallied for a winner. In the event of a tie, we will create a poll on the thread to make a final selection.
8. Once a winner is announced, the thread will be unlocked and comments/discussions are welcomed. Winner and nominees can tell us all about their pool/photo/event.
9. A member can only be selected as winner once per calendar year.
10. Winner will receive a $50 gift certificate from tstestkits.net! Oh, and maybe some bragging rights. :poke:

This should be fun. Showcase your outdoor kitchens. Let’s see those pics! Have fun and good luck to those who apply!

Folks, let's congratulate @Daddyd (Post #3) for being voted as this month's TFP Pool of the Month. While all nominees had an outstanding display, this one seemed to be a crowd favorite. We invite all who posted to tell us more about their outdoor kitchen area, and thank you all for participating. Let's do this again next month.

@Daddyd , be on the lookout for your $50 discount code from tfteskits.net.

Thank you so much everyone! A covered patio has been a dream of ours for years. I love cooking outside especially with a live fire and our climate really makes that difficult 3-4 months of the year. This project started as part of a larger home remodel in 2018 but we didn’t actually break ground on the outside until April 2021. What followed was 18 months worth of an emotional roller coaster. It was this process that guided me to the “under construction” part of this forum.

I felt an odd sense of comfort reading about everyone’s issues with contractors/subs/materials since I was experiencing the same. I know I haven’t been exactly verbose on this forum but I just have a hot tub that I have successfully switched over to a SWG and the TFP philosophy. We have had one for 20 years but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon TFP that I can actually enjoy a soak without any miscellaneous types of rashes/itchy skin and the water is always incredibly clear.

The finished product is a 600sq ft covered patio that (while not completely finished yet…) has turned out exactly how I sketched it up 5 years ago. We have a built in BBQ and flat top (moving on up from my Blackstone), the crown jewel is my GrillWorks Santa Maria grille. It was absolutely a dream of mine to own one of these and definitely did not disappoint. Outside of the structure we also have a wood fired pizza oven and old school smoker house that we built about 8 years ago. All of this was a dream come true and utilized much as we can.

That's OK. You've been here getting the deets you needed, which is the important part, and when you contributed, you did so HUGE. We'll be gawking at you'll handiwork for a while. :)
 
Took me a while to work out which part of Willlie's pic was the interior. Very nice. The chairs at the table - Tropitone?
