re: Outdoor Kitchen Design

Some great idea and thanks for them. Its my first attempt at this and Id like to get it right. I have a few weeks to work on the design so no issue moving or changing things.
I have a standing butchers block that my parents gave my wife and I when we got married 36 years ago. We have had it in the middle of the kitchen for ever. Now that the new houses have islands, we dont have a place for it. My plan is to have it on the inside of the kitchen "L" so I can use it for cutting and more prep space. Just like we have used it in our kitchen for 30 years. I didnt want to get rid of it. Its solid maple. Looks like the picture below. I will have a trash can under it.
I can kill one of the fridges but I know that the fridge on the grill island allowed us to make that island longer. Without the fridge over there, I think the max is 88". If eliminated the fridge on that side and put both cooking surfaces over there, I would have zero counter space on that side. I think. I am asking the engineers.
Thanks for the advice everyone..
This is an actual picture of our lanai where the kitchen is going to go. You can see there is a large screened opening above the grill area. A lot of people in our neighborhood have done kitchens with the grill right there and are saying there’s no need for ventilation. Hoping that is the case for us.
As for the ceramic grill, I have a Primo XL on a nice stainless cart and I think I am just going to leave it on the cart and be able to move it around. Not sure I want it incorporated in the kitchen for now. Im good with being able to roll it out in the open near the pool and fire it up

I'd be nervous putting that butcher block outdoors. I'm no expert, but being that it's unsealed wood I would think that the temperature and humidity changes would cause the end-grain wood blocks to separate. FYI, and you can't seal it since it's used to cut on and food prep. Just something to be cautious of IMO.

you can keep the same counter space without a fridge underneath.

Trust me.
Incorporate the Primo into the build.
Time to eliminate the rolling cart business.
You doing it, so do it right the first time.
Been there, done that rolling cart with my BGE in the nest before by build out.
One other question to ask yourself:
What all is it that you want to BBQ/Grill that you cannot cook on the flattop griddle?
If you are not 100% sold on both, you could eliminate the gas grill, and use the other space for your Primo XL. just a thought
