Outdoor Kitchen Plans

We are doing some work on the house and I am trying to get a new patio/outdoor area included in the deal. I am really just looking to have a brick area built to house my Large and Small Eggs, a fridge, and a drawer for accessories.  To get a bid, I need some sort of plan.  Is there a site out there that anyone has used to assist in this? 

Also, the Eggs won't be fully enclosed but I was wondering if I need any part of the back of the Egg open for airflow.  I have seen several built ins without an open back and was curious if it really mattered much.

Thanks for any info or help.

    I haven't used it personally but this is popular:

    I would think as long as you have some airflow in the front it would be fine if the back was enclosed.  



    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I had a kick ass setup in my previous home and the egg was fully enclosed except for the front.  I got plenty of air flow and was able to sear steaks and make pizzas quite easily.  No need to have the back open.

    For an outdoor kitchen don't forget a drawer for paper towels and another large 'drawer' for a trash can.  These are essential and many people forget them.

    Almost forgot ... you'll want a sturdy bottle opener affixed to the structure as well.  Cheers!
