I looked at a lot of different brands and really like the blaze fridge...it was one of the few that have a nice trim kit and when installed look like a built in fridge not some dorm room one shoved in a hole (not that cold beers care lol)..I was going to do a big gas grill...then wick got me to try a primo...I then decided to not do a gas grill and have 2 primos

Very pleased with my Blaze appliances they look and work great. Best grill I've ever had


I have a Lynx grill that I love, but just purchased a Blaze 40" 5 burner and the Blaze side burner as well.

I will be finished mine right behind you.

Not doing another outdoor refrigerator. Had 2-3 of them and they are a pain in the arse to keep running.

Ice maker is needed though.

I thought so too...but the food taste so much better off my primo vs just a regular gas grill.

My blaze fridge has been chugging along for 2 years so far issue free. We will see how long it last...I like having it. I skipped the ice maker in general because of all the issues/maintenance I have read about them.

Dang dude, it may be time to admit you have a problem...

To the OP, if you want an ice maker find one out of a restaurant. Consumer ice makers suck.

I mean it was probably my 2nd or 3rd beer but I hardly think that's a problem

I have the Blaze 4.5 cubic foot fridge with the stainless steel front door upgrade, looks great. Haven't had any problems with it so far.

They look great. (I have one thanks to Wick!)

Is that an OB huggie?

I load mine up with food. Cooks great every time.

That's the one that I have I'm pretty sure love it so far. And I think they are in baton rouge.

I owe all my great grilling and smoking meals to wick. I was dead set on just a big ol gasser. Then after having the primos for about a year and a half I had some steaks that were done on a gas grill and it was quite different. I was torn on a second primo or a small gas for fast and easy but I can get the primo going pretty well while I prep food or drink beer.

Signed contract on my outdoor kitchen yesterday and can't wait. Will be a 20'x20' hip addition off my roof, cypress v groove ceiling, corner fireplace with 48" tv, 15' counter with 3' dog leg. Decided on Blaze appliances, 5cf refridgerator, 25" gas grill, double side burner, built in green egg, and sink. May add garbage disposal after reading thread. Went with Blaze not only for price and looks but they have a lifetime warranty on all grills and structure is what sealed the deal for me. Still need to decide on flagstone or ceramic tile for floor but have some time, will do that last as want slab to cure for a couple months before laying.

I got the 5.5 cft fridge I made a mistake earlier. It looks like they have a new style that's 5.2...has the temp stuff on the inside. Cleaner look but I kinda like having a view of the temp without opening the door. It shows actual temp down to 34. I love having the disposal outside.

Nice and timely for you Tbooux. Mind if I ask what you expect to pay? Mine will likely be an L shape. Part of it will be 20x24 with the end of the L being another 16x20.

I live in Ascension and just finished ours last year. You are more than welcome to take a look at ours to get some ideas. Gas grill and side burner, Primo Oval XL, ice maker, refrigerator, deep dish sink with garbage disposal, hot water heater and instant hot water dispenser are all included, along with a 9 ft. granite slab and cypress ceiling.

We spent around $75K.

What did you do on your floors? I'm mating to an existing porch with exposed aggregate which I hate so stain and score is not an option. Was leaning flagstone but the thickness poses a problem with covering the weep holes on the existing porch. Checked on Arctic coatings but more expensive than tile or stone and having to resell every three years is not attractive to me. Trying to find a slip resistant porcelain tile now.

Added 4 pictures below. Just re-read thread I linked and realized I never posted final pictures of our project.
