My grandfather just finished his and he tied into the AC. Makes a 20-25 degree difference under the cover...pretty unreal. I thought he was pulling my leg first time I saw it

Oh yeah, certainly aware of that. It's the "one" of many requests that my wife wants.

My brother finished his in Houston last year, he spent 25K and fabricated hi own pits, burners, and such, decide what you want in the way of cook tops and such, he's a welder by trade maybe he can save you some money, He comes to town quite often

I'm open to saving any way that I can.

Coming your way.

Would love to hear how this project turns out. I am about to begin looking as well. Not sure if I want to do it now or wait a year.

I am about to start mine and I started with a budget of $30K and it is grown to about $45K

I disagree.
I am about to spend about 40-50K on one but it will be worth it. We cook outside constantly on a stand alone grill and burner. During football season I spend all Sunday outside grilling and cooking while watching football. We also entertain a lot and its nice to have an outside setup. We will probably use our inside kitchen about 15% of the time once this is done. Also, my wife hates the house smelling like food so this solves that problem as well.

I got some quotes a couple years ago but decided against it until I'm in a house I'll be in a little longer because everyone I talked to said you'll never get that money back when you sell
Posted on 3/25/14 at 7:52 am to yellowfin
I am fully aware that I may not get my money back but I will probably be here for at least 10-12 years and I feel that pros of having it and enjoying it with my family outweigh whatever I may or may not lose financially.
Also, I am in Eunice, we never get back whatever upgrades we put into our houses

I've given myself a budget of $30K. Will be interesting to see if we can hold to this number or less.
With a budget like that I'd go for an outside wife too

Do you see yourself using the outdoor kitchen exclusively in the warmer months, or just a few times a week.
Also, why do outdoor gas grills cost so damn much compared to a stand alone LP/NG grill. $3 - $10K for just the top half of a grill is crazy. Are they made from titanium or something?

Only do it if you have a nice deck/outdoor area to go with it.

Not a nice one....or hell, not even a decent one.

I plan on using mine year round. It will be deigned to where the rain and wind will be clocked for the most part.
As for the $$ grills cost these days, you can still find a weber drop in for $1500. I am going with the Fire Magic Aurora. My old man has the Fire Magic Echelon series and that thing is just way out of the budget. I am paying right at $5500 for the grill, burner, fridge, SS drawers, and SS cabinets. The grill was $3300.

They are usually made of 304 stainless or 443 stainless steel, which is corrosion resistant and does contain titanium.
