Outdoor kitchen Ideas?

Long time reader but finally joined the forum.

Got my Egg this past Easter and built a table for it. I like having the burner for mushrooms or peppers and onions, etc. But I find my large is not enough sometimes and too big other times. So I think this spring I'm going to build an outdoor kitchen that will fit 2 larges and a place I can add a small in the near future. I have plenty of room but think I want to keep it around 8 foot long. I want to keep the burner and like having a little room to set down a platter or a hot plate setter or pizza stone.

Anybody have some plan ideas? My thinking is I'll build it out of 2X4's and cement board. Using veneer stone or brick and I'm thinking of either making a concrete top or tile, not sure if I want to tackle a concrete top for a first time on this, I've done tile so thats not as scary... 

Anyhow, would love to see what other egger's have done. 

I've learned a lot lurking around here the last year or so. I haven't made a bad meal yet on the Egg. (some better than others but I'm getting better). I think I found the perfect pizza time/temp cook tonight.

I've owned a horizontal steel smoker, electric smoker and weber kettle. I held off buying an egg because I was waiting to kill the weber (14 year old) but finally just gave it to my neighbor and got the egg. I grill/smoke/bake out several times a week.

    I like that side burner. Any details on that? Try figurin a sink in your build. And yes, lots of storage

    Welcome. ..somewhere floating around there's a table thread. Maybe Google it.

  • I picked up the burner at Home Depot.com It was kinda pricy but it's built pretty solid. The sink idea is not really an option for me because I would have to run a hose to it. Not sure how to get rid of the waste water ether. It would be nice though.

     I have a covered porch about 20X10 feet deep, I was going to build it on the outside edge, not against the house. i would worry about the vinyl siding that close to the cooking.

    I'm swaying to giving the concrete top a try. 

    Anybody have pics of what I'm dreaming up? I can reverse engineer anything but not very good at designing...

    Thanks
