Hey all, got a question on equipment. I am thinking of putting in an outdoor kitchen, but the biggest question I have is this. Should I build a big old-fashioned brick BBQ or just use individual components?
My ultimate plan (still saving) is to demo the 20yo deck, and put a patio in. On one side, I plan on putting all my cooking implements. Not sure if I will put it inside a pavilion or not (HOA would probably throw a fit). On the patio, I plan on either putting in an island style enclosure for equipment, or a massive brick BBQ with a smoker, some high powered burners for a outdoor homebrew setup, running water (hot and cold) maybe room for a griddle I can drop in, and have my grill placed right next to it, and room to erect a pit if I wanted to do it. (Yes Kahlua pig is great, but I am not digging up my yard, so it will be a brick pit if I do it)
So if you COULD do it, which would you rather have, individual components, or big brick monstrosity? Thoughts, opinions, wishes, and dreams all welcome.
