Welcome! That's a nice fireproof setup.

Looks nice.  Did you form your own countertop?  

Begger

What kind of cement did you use to make the top?   I was thinking along those lines and got BEWILDERED by the different 'mixes'.
Also, would it be strong enough when placed on 2x4 stringers to support the full weight of an XL BGE?  
Did you pour the top IN PLACE or make a form, pour / fnish than flip it while mounting on the rest of the table?  
I'll trade photographic help for table building help!

Very nice. We also want to see pics of your cooks!

Thanks guys, I used Quikrete Countertop mix and poured it in place. If I had to do it over I would make templates out of cardboard and pour it in a form. I used 2 4x4 to support the egg and steel studs for the frame.

I really like the masonry and concrete cook areas.  Are you using a laminate product?  Also, I would like to see the rest of your design.

That gas grill may get jealous.  Very cool.  Is the brick a vernier?  Did you use BBQ Coach panels?  I was thinking of using their set up.

If it is like mine, it is where he stores most of his eggcessories.

Ladeback yeah it's brick vernier. I used steel studs and Duroc from lowes.

Wow! And wow again. Solid look. Amazing how lifelike veneer looks these days. Leaps and bounds from the old brick veneer that was in my Grandparents kitchen on the walls (guessing they had it installed circa 1960s).

I thought the same thing @NPHuskerF.  I thought it was real so I had to ask.   It looks very cool.

@namo442, what gauge of steel studs did you use?
