re: Outdoor Kitchen (appliances installed) 95 % completed. Updated, pg. 5

Brian Keith…I used them as well and I would not use them again.

Except for when you get black like I did shows all the dirt. I have my cleaning lady hit it up twice a month tho so its not too too bad.

They're great. Not cheap, but worth the money.

Not familiar with those fans. What's different about them that makes them better? Thanks

I won't have an outdoor kitchen in my patio, but I will have my Egg and a gas grill out there. My contractor talked me out of an exhaust system because it's all screened in. No attic issues because there's no attic over the ceiling. It's just wood and then a tin roof on top. It can't go from there to the attic.

Anyway, contractor said the wind/air would circulate the smoke and the exhaust might not really serve it's purpose well because of my layout. He's going to put some wall fans up that will hopefully direct the smoke through the screens above the egg and grill. It's a rig, in my opinion, but we'll see how that works. The South end is wall and the grills will be at the East end. It's a 30 foot room East to West. The fans will be pretty close and the ceiling is pretty high at that point. Probably won't work and I'll have to think of something else or go back to looking into an exhaust.

I have a very strong exhaust over my stovetop in the kitchen because it has a gas grill in the middle. I have a ceiling fan in the kitchen and I have to turn it all the way off when I grill because though it's way above the exhaust, it can cause the smoke to swirl such that it isn't sucked up into the exhaust. That was the example he gave when I was going to buy a strong exhaust for outside. My indoor exhaust will suck up a paper towel if you hold it in your hand above the stovetop.

My brother has an open patio that extends from the covered area. He has pits and egg out there. He's used a wall fan for years to blow the smoke from the pits away from the covered area of the patio. Has worked for him.

The former. They will blow toward the screens as I understand it. Same way my brother's work. They blow above the pit and out. The smoke goes out into his yard and away from the patio area.

Heard this, as well. From both homeowners and contractors.

Really nice looking. What's the brand on your ice machine?

If it rains in the windows over your smoker and grill, will that be a problem?

Dishwasher out there?

Dunno if you did or not but put a ceiling mounted "spot" on the egg and pit.

I have a similar setup and the nite spot lite on the pits is a must

You should also have access to the island cabs from the pool side. Lotsa wasted useable under counter space

I have 6 canned lights and 2 overhead lights that are almost directly over Primo and grill. Should be enough lighting. I hope.
