table/outdoor kitchen question.

kidcowboy

Im in the design phase right now.  It's cold here in MN so I have time to make tweeks to my design.  I am doing more of an outdoor kitchen, not on wheels.  Also it's going to have a tin roof.  Going for the cool old BBQ shack look.  I'm gonna make it out of barn wood too.  My main question is; should I put a chimney with flex pipe that goes to the top of my egg?  I'm thinking over time I might get a build up on the ceiling from the smoke.  If i can figure out how to post my drawings I will.  It's going L shaped 10 ft. by 5ft on the right side.  I can't wait to get started!!!  I'm also leaving room for a cut out for a small.  It will have lights and outlets built in too.  I'm planning on doing a complete thread on the build when I start sometime in March.

 

Thanks,  Jeremy

Is it goin to be open on the sides or closed in?? If you are going for the true bbq shack look a little smoke stain will add to the patina of your pit cover. IMHO.

Funny you should say that about the patina.  I was going to let it go til I got that look.  I can always cut a hole in the roof and add a vent if needed.  Also it will be open on all side with the roof sloping towards the back.

Tin roof makes me think of those ole time exhaust fans.
