Ladies and gentlemen of the OB. Sean's former roommate here, asking a favor of yall with kick-butt outdoor kitchen set-ups.

My parents have decided to build an outdoor kitchen/bar area in their back yard. It will accompany a pool and potentially a deck.

For ideas on what and what-not to do, they've looked at two places (both family friends). I am of the opinion they need to see MANY more to know exactly what they want and what they can do with it.

I figured it wouldn't hurt to see what some of yall have in terms of awesome outdoor kitchens and bars. Would yall kindly post some pictures of yall's outdoor kitchens and bars?

Many thanks!

I'll see if I can get a few of my scoutmasters after the meeting tonight. His puts all that I've seen to shame. Gas grill, wood stove, slab cedar bar, etc. And the shower he built when the pool occupied the beershack's place.

Looking to build one myself also it would be good to see what some of yall have had done.

I'm in the process of building one myself. The problem is that I'm not taking delivery on the grill until 6/29-30. After that the rock work and pizza oven wil have to be built.

I decided to use only wood a burning grill and pizza oven due to the flavor of the meat and bread/pizzas. It should be pretty cool when I'm finished though.

Pre-fab pizza ovens can be found at fornobravo.com. They've got some pretty cool stuff. I just think that patio dinner parties with fire baked bread/pizza will be alot of fun.
Plus the freshly baked bread in the oven should be really great, especially after we can rob my beehive in the backyard and eat fresh honey on it.

Just a couple of ideas.

Here are a few of the kitchen/patio I built about 8 years ago at my old house. I did all of the work myself except pouring the slab.

BunkerHill, awesome looking set up!

Thanks for sharing! How long did it take you to build it?

I built it back before I had kids and would come home after work most afternoons and work on it for a few hours. Needless to say, a lot of hours total, but I probably did it in about 6 months.

Also interested in something similar.

I just finished this, sorry for crummy phone pics

you guys are extremely talented...

Really cool. Keep the pics coming.

Good looking stuff!!

Wow!! Blue Parachute. Nice set-ups. I especially like the couch and fireplace. I'd be outside a lot.

Mike Sherman's old house in College Station had one of the best outdoor areas that I have ever seen overlooking his pool. It was probably 25'x25' with several couches, nice table/chairs, multiple tv's, fireplace, and a full kitchen. Extremely nice! I took some pics on my phone, but accidentally deleted them several months back.

If you can, don't let your contractor try to make you tie your sink drain into the septic/sewer. Run it into the yard or a ground well.

Just put a large outlet into the yard with a good striner in the sink.

I can only imaginae that would save thousands.
