It looks like you used the same contractor I did. Was it Kevin Armstrong? He's great.
In any event, it came out fantastic - enjoy the new setup!DFW - 1 LGBE & Happy to Adopt More... -

Just jealous.

Nice @Alton, but I agree with @tarheelmatt...............I have to look through my sliding glass door to watch TV

That thing on the far left - looks like a burner (the PowerBurner you mention?) - why is it so low to the ground?

I always sort of chuckle to myself when I see the homes of some people who I know have spent much time and expense on rooms that would look great in a magazine but you just know never, ever get used for anything. Love the space and it's even cooler knowing that it will get plenty of use. Bravo!Stillwater, MN

...and b/c you listened your builder's recommendation who probably never had to cook on one
j/k, kinda. First off, beautiful space! I had to chime in since we just went through this ourselves. I think dropping the burner is the outdoor equivalent of putting your living room TV over the fireplace. Sure it looks cool and every builder adds it to their house plans, but functionally it isn't the best spot to stick a TV. You lose counter space and essentially relegate an awesome burner to tall stock pots only.
We cook all kinds of stuff on ours (smash burgers, paella, searing proteins in skillets etc), so having it at standard counter-top level is much more convenient.
With what looks like porous stone counters I think I'd leave the turkey frying to the back yard.South of Nashville - BGE XL - Alfresco 42" ALXE - Alfresco Versa Burner - Sunbeam Microwave -
I hear ya, but don’t forget I have the flattop griddle at counter top for the smash burgers and other fun stuff... I’m a NOLA guy so it will be used mostly for boils ...but appreciate your commentsSonVolt said:Alton said:

I think that’s leuters stone (what we have too). I’ve found that it resists staining fairly well (we had ours sealed).DFW - 1 LGBE & Happy to Adopt More...
