    I never tire of seeing this pic.  I've got 5 kettles myself - only use two of them occasionally.  Why can't I get rid of the other 3??  Strange attachment for sure.

    At this time, I only had the Large in a nest (on the left) and my old Weber (on the right) to store Eggstuff.  I now also have a Small, also in a nest, plus enough cedar to build a table, carefully aged for, I guess, three years now... :whistle:

    In line with the iron addiction.
    I do kind of single purpose them.  
    $30 black otg for the rotisserie
    Free green otg for grilling, camping
    $20 sjp for camping, tailgating
    $225 22wsm and fb 200 for butts
    $350 old used large for gilling
    Newer large for baking
    Kbq for q
    $80 14 wsm for small smokes
    The least used now is probably the 18 wsm.  But that was my first charcoal unit.  Even got a call in ribs with it.  Too hard to sell.

    My son, and nephews, will get hooked up as we get older.  ;)

    I love living in Florida AND really like having my kitchen inside a screened enclosure (mosquitoes).  Having the pool so near is great for a quick dip while cooking too.

    Bet that pool comes in handy in the off chance you set yourself on fire, all joking aside eggcelent (see what I did there) set up man very jealous.

    In the process of listing this property so I am confined to the small covered patio... SWMBO thinks we need to upgrade and buy our "retirement" home...at the age of 37. Got a good 25 years before that... I just nod and say yes :)

    We bought what we hope will be our retirement home 10 years ago this August when I was 43.  Getting close all the time.  Never to early to plan.

    I'm a driveway guy.  Not much to see here.  I keep talking about building a summer kitchen with a screen porch for grilling/smoking but this works for now.

    I had way too many cookers sitting on my patio and deck. Finally decided to get rid of the ones I seldom used (Traeger BBQ 075, Yoder YS-640, Cookshack 025 smoker), and concentrate on what does most of my cooks.

    Sold my 6' custom table and have my XL on a 3'x3' table I built, with folding side shelf.  Has Flameboss 300 controller, and cooks 100% of anything I want to grill or smoke. Nice small package that rolls in my shed when I am done cooking.  Big wheels make it easy to roll to patio on a nice day.

    The Flameboss 300 is what really got me excited about using my XL for everything. It takes all the guesswork out of my cooks.  Didn't need the pellet grills anymore after using the FB.  Built a magnetic mount, so I can flip the MagSwitch and take it off if I want to cook without it or in rainy weather.

    @eggingout1983   I've got a redish / brown boston as well.  Great dogs.  I put her on sit today, and forgot about her.  Came  back inside almost an hour later and she's still on sit waiting for me

    This setup speaks to me!  Curious, did you build this or have it built?  

    This is what I want to do at our house that will be built (hopefully one day). I do have one reservation and that is do you find it a hassle to have to go back to the house when you forget something or need something else while cooking?  That's sticking in my mind as my stuff is all on the back deck currently.

    My way over engineered, recycled deck wood tables. Original deck was built in 2005 and removed early in 2015. Built the large table in May of 2015, and the side table in June same year. I like being able to move both tables when I need but it mostly stays here since the vinyl deck was installed. It is still a work in progress:

    It's only 20' from the door. It's not a problem for me if I forget something.  I'm pretty anal, so I am usually 2 steps ahead on my preps.
    My neighbor built it for me. It's cinder block foundation with the stone overlay on all sides.
    I was just going to put stone on the front, but the wife wanted stone all around. She's the boss. 
    Her and I formed up for the concrete and built the pergola.
