Will the heat from the cooking affect the TV?
No, Primo will be to the left of the TV and gas grill will be to the far right.
Back wall is approximately 15 ft. wide.
TV is 42", maybe I should have gone bigger? But I'll have 2 of them, the other will be located in another area that is not pictured. Brand? Don't laugh. Changhong.

Brick, concrete and cypress boards and beams along with equipment ... hell it's all expensive.

Sure is! Our project is a little more complicated than yours, but we are somewhere north of $200k.

Great job Will. You will enjoy it and it will keep your kids around the house. Mine has friends here all the time which I much prefer.
For cypress Mom or whomever is looking or whatever wood try Fred Netterville Lumber in Woodville, MS. Or Antique Woods of Louisiana in Sunset, LA which is owned by Shawn Burks. Both do a great job. I think Netterville is a bit cheaper but they have any wood anyone can need.

I've never heard of that. Is it an outdoor TV? I can't decide what to get. I need a pretty large one because I need to be able to see it well from nearly 30 feet away and hear it. I'm only going to have one. I thought about putting a much smaller one in the grill area, but I don't think I need to do that.

It's an old Chinese brand. And it's as good as anything out there now in that range. I have a 52 Samsung outside. Not the best but it works fine and is about 6-7 years old. Don't worry about heat or being outdoors. Bestbuy ran 52" tv for $200 on Black Friday. They are cheap and will keep getting cheaper. If mine craps out I'll just buy another.
FWIW I have the same tv in my bedroom and AMC plays only in Spanish and Fox has no volume but I have enough other options that it's not a deal breaker yet. Maybe Santa will bring me a Chingchong.

Thanks Martini. All of our Cypress came from Netterville in Woodville.

Changhong is a cheap knock off brand, certainly not an outdoor TV. Comes with a one year warranty, paid for it with my Discover Card to get an extra year warranty for free.
Had the best specs for the best price. Bought them from NewEgg.
For the price of a true outdoor TV, I could buy 10 Changhong TVs.

My wife just bought a bunch of dirty top heart pine flooring from them. It's pretty wood.

That looks bad arse. Mine will be done in a month. It's been a nightmare for me. If I ever figure out how to post pictures with this iPhone I will post them when it's done. Fry some fish

I've had an insignia brand tv hanging outside for nearly two years with no problems and it has definitely gotten wet a few times. I did tape up all the unused connectors and ports to try and prevent water damage. I think I'm going to look for a 70" vizio this time. I the k you get a lot of tv for the money with vizio.

Yeah, I'm thinking a somewhat "disposable" TV will be the best thing to do since it will have some exposure to the elements as far as heat and cold. Do you bring it in in the extreme cold? I know I won't do that. It's otherwise pretty protected. Brick fireplace in back. Wall in the right and screening to the left about 4-5 feet away. The front is the 30 feet so that's not a problem. Temps and humidity will be the issues. It really shouldn't get wet.
Thinking of doing something similar with some furniture. I don't like outdoor furniture like couches much. I'm thinking of getting a comfortable regular indoor couch and just buying a new one as needed.

It looks great and I would love to have a similar set up, but the wife doesn't see it that way.
Having said that, I guess I'll be "that" guy. As another posted asked - no vent hood or ceiling vents? You said how tall the ceiling was and we see the two windows, but smoke is still going to come down to near head level and be an issue. IMHO, for a "few" dollars more a roof vent or vent hood would be well worth it.
Finally, I suppose/hope this is your final house? From the pictures, we can see a portion of your neighbors houses. While they look nice they do not look to be the type where you would expect to recoup almost $100k in outdoor expenditures. I'm not saying the pool and outdoor kitchen are not nice, just you may have out priced your neighborhood. The space is very nice but I think it will be hard to recoup that amount when/if you decide to sell.

I am sure Will is smart enough to know what he is doing and thought all this through. In your post you're still wanting him to add things to the project which will increase the price even more but yet you make the comment in the Quote above. Your talking out of both sides of your mouth. You're jealous Because your wife won't let you build something like this

That was my exact comment...if you really do serious smoking, the 14' peak will still trap beaucoup de 'boucan', which will deposit sooty residue all over everything (over time). A simple exhaust fan, retrofitted into the closed-in gable end, near the peak, will help the structure to draw air upward and keep that smoke out of your eyes/hair/TV.
But maybe WillC doesn't do a lot of low-n-slow and his pretty outdoor kitchen will work just fine!

I talked with my contractor for a long time about how to vent my cooking area. I'm spending way too much money on nice wood to have it turn black from ash and smoke. We decided to build a custom commercial style vent over my gas grill, primo, and power burner. It will be overkill, but at least I won't have to power wash the ceiling

You won't regret it. We have a vent in our summer kitchen/outdoor pool area. My neighbor does not have a vent. We were smoked out when they were grilling by their pool.
We built our house 10 years ago and I didn't want kids running in the house to use the bathroom. So I call it my expensive outdoor bathroom. $50 K. My husband loves to grill out there.
