What's the Go To Outdoor Kitchen SS Drawer, Cabinets, Grill, etc?

Get yourself a Recteq bull pellet grill/smoker

Go with Blaze. BBQ Guys if you are in BR. It will be more expensive than a regular burner but get you a power burner, you won’t regret it.

I am in BR was just looking at bbqguys and Blaze. Great looking setup you have there.

What do you use your powerburner for?

Did you go with blaze for your SS access doors etc?

Yes, can boil or cook a jambalaya or just about anything.

Yes, the doors, drawers and trash bit are blaze along with all of the appliances. The only thing not Blaze is the vent hood.

I'm guessing you're pretty pleased with the quality? I'll go check them out at the bbq guys.

Looking to do similar to what you did with brick and similar access, smaller grill. Anything you would've done differently now?

We went with Blaze products from BBQ guys also. I agree with the poster that mentioned the power burner. We got the professional one with the wok ring.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Looks like a great setup, Rize!

Will head over to bbq guys this week to hopefully touch n feel.

I see Rize didn't do any additional framework behind his brick. That's what I'd like to do too. My entire project otherwise seems frickin way over engineered. For a simple person, my build sure isn't.

How about you X82nd and C-bear, any I-beams or anything under those bricks?

I am currently building my setup, and I went with:

Gas- Artisan LINK


Charcoa- Kamado Joe Big Joe 3



I was deciding between Artisan and Blaze, but ultimately went artisan after much research. While both are great options, I like that Artisan is 100% made in USA along with being Alfresco made, which is one of the absolute best in the business. Artisan is the more affordable product line though, since I ain't no OT Baller. The artisan came with a door as a promotion, so I am installing that. Haven't decided yet what to do with the other door.


My kamado Joe doesn't arrive until end of September. The KJ3 is still new, so the built in version isn't releasing until then.


Give me a few moments to figure out how to post pictures, and I will show my setup so far.



Ok. Here's my current progress. My BIL designed this for me, and we are now 3 days into the build. 1 for framing, 1 for installing and 1 for cement board and adjusting trim work. We are using cement board as heat protection for the wood. My BIL shaped the wood into a sphere to dress up around the Joe, which I thought was a cool idea that we didn't see anywhere else online. Once installed, we will cut out area for vent flow and ash tray access. I have leftover tile from my house construction, so that's going to be my counter top.

I used the grill for the first time last night. Some overcharging is there as I am learning the grill. Plus any grill takes a few uses to season and develop a nice even heat.

Hope this helps

Thanks for sharing, midgetDS. Good looking setup all 3 of you will have. I'll check out the Artasian stuff also.

I went by BBQguys today in BR. Very helpful and tons of stuff to look at. If I had to order today, I'd go with the Blaze, but I don't, so I'll keep researching.

Just fyi, I'm planning on going with the smaller 25" Blaze grill and the "normal" double burner near it. Saving me an empty spot next to it should I decide I need an egg or smoker or whatever. The flip side of the island will double as a bar, so the space will be enjoyed if it never evolves also. My propane will be piped into the island from under it, so I'll put a quick connect on the island for a boiler, patio heater or whatever.
