BDavis BBQ Island

[JoyfulNoise]

Yup. It's such a burden to have a cooking deck that is unique and doesn't look like the standard showroom setup at your local Costco ... Oh, and when people see the BGE and say, "Wow! I've heard so many fabulous things about your Egg...it looks amazing!" ... yeah, it's a bummer I didn't choose the pronto ... promo ... prio ... what's it called again?? So hard to remember the name when it looks like every other one on the market ...

Ha! Such passion... and you thought I waved the Pentair flag too hard.

You converted me, I'll be getting the big green booger

How long does it take to get used to the food looking like this?

 

[leeatmg]

Very nice. Love the countertop!

 

[pooldv]

Sam you are!

 

[wjr75]

Ha! My Wife and Son actually made green scrambled eggs and bacon yesterday for breakfast.

I could not, would not Sam-I-Am...

But remember how the story ends -

I have had my Big Green Egg for 10 years and have not had to replace any parts. Smoked many juicy turkeys, mountains of baby back ribs, chicken, porkloins and even potatoes.

I've heard great things about them but I can't get past the looks. The Primo sure looks a lot better.

The other issue is that I'm in Traeger country and may get chastised if I go the kamado route.

Probably before I do anything I should actual use the Lion that I bought

The BBQ is under a covered patio but is near the edge of it. I'm not too concerned with smoke issues because the ceiling is almost 11' high. I never had any issues with my old grill either.

I'll see if I have a picture to show it a little better.

Not a great picture but you can see the old BBQ on the far left. The island was built in the same spot

My ceiling is 12' and lanai is 32' long
The location for the summer kitchen is equivalent to the wall where you have the windows on the right side of your lanai. I have 2 ceiling fan outlets in the lanai.

Doubt you'd need a hood then unless you are consistently making a lot of smoke. Are you installing a smoker?

 

[IrwinK]

No smoker planned. I should be ok without the hood. Thanks for the info and enjoy your BBQ.

 

[bdavis466]

Here's a better overall shot. Smoke has never been an issue, I could always run the fans as well.



Here's the caveman pool table. I have a cue for you Matt that I whittled from a solid piece of Russian white oak that was reclaimed from a 200 year old Catholic Church... Just be prepared to lose!

Brian, are you hooking up your grill to your Easytouch/ScreenLogic?? :joker: :angel:

 

[JoyfulNoise]

Sweet table bro ... even better because it was free!!

(FYI - I bring my own cue .... )

Wow...between pool and patio, that is one heck of a backyard you have built. Beautiful.

Just make sure you have the shot glasses of Fireball Whisky lined up - every missed shot and you have to drink

 

[bdavis466]

You mean you have to take a shot. I don't miss! :tongue:

You know what sucks? It's -20 here in Canada and I can walk across my pool right now... I am jealous of you folks in the South right now
