I don't know if these get posted here often, I'm kinda new, but show me your BBQ area set up...  I have a 10'x10' pad and want to build a table or two this summer.   I'm looking for ideas, and table layouts.   This is what I'm currently working with, minimax is joining the party new tuesday and that gas grill is just waiting for a new home.

    1) Greatest name ever. 

    2) I am too ashamed of the condition of my set up to post. In the middle of a backyard makeover. Mulch piles everywhere, new grass growing, chairs getting repainted, new walkways going in, table is halfway built. 

    Looks like a war zone.

    Slab, military surplus camp tables, and nests here.  I like to move things around.  Would love to add handlers at some point.  Had a table, tore it down, was a PITA to move around.  The paver slab in the background is for the KBQ.  Another Suncast shed holds the WSMs and kettles to the right on the slab.  Eggs get rolled under the overhang.  Not the fanciest, but gets the job done, in all weather conditions.  A new concrete slab is in the near future works , now that my kitchen has been addressed.

    I have pretty much what you have, large egg (with nest & mates) and a side table. Weber kettle instead of a gasser. Oh, and a Smokey Joe. Had a mini, but my dog devastated it. No roof. Nothing fancy, but I don't spend any more time there than I have to.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    When i post my gasser online I think i'll be asking for trades for a kettle or WSM.

    You just let the smoke discolor the ceiling? I have wanted to do something like this, but wondered about the smoke.

    @Theophan Is that concrete or limestone counter top? How thick is it? Nice by the way.

    Newly built this week. Can't wait to sand her down and break her in 
    I was thinking something like that but I don't have the overhang...  Why did you opt for no wheels or casters?  Just wanted it a little more stable?  I'm worried about the bottom rotting out.

    I found on my old table with wheels that I just didnt move it all. It lived right to the right of the dart board and didnt move in 3 years. I was ready for something more perm and that would give me a lot more space to prep and serve on. Spend a lot of time on the patio. I'm not terribly worried about it rotting, made out of cedar and rarely get's wet. I did build in pieces so if bottom does rot, it shouldn't be that hard to replace

    You guys who put them up against walls and under roofs, doesn't the smoke bother you or your guests? Not even considering the staining, but smoking out people trying to relax seems like a possibility. Maybe no one is allowed outside till it clears?

    I haven't had a chance to cook in it's current location, but my thought was if smoke collected to put a little fan behind the egg to blow it out from under the patio

    Lots of beautiful setups on here.  Apparently I should have paid more attention in college.

    Mine has been in under my covered patio for three years and i use 4-6 times a week for cooking. No stains and the smoke isnt much due to the wind always pushing it out. I also have two ceiling fans out there which help too. My patio is open ended and basically a wind tunnel. The side you dont see opens to my backyard.

    I sure hope you don't get the egg on the left confused with the one on the right.

    Thanks!  It cost me to have someone make it, but I feel a lot safer with the Eggs not on wood anymore.  Seen too many scary pictures of fires that started from grilling.

    And it's neither: it's bluestone.  There's more discussion here, if you're interested, with a closer-up photo of the top itself.
