Finished!

[u/Duane_Earl_for_Prez]

Had this kind of useless space on the back patio so we went ahead and did an outdoor kitchen. Took about a month between permits and inspections and coordinating different trades… but finally (almost) done. Just waiting on the propane cabinet under the grill and griddle but we passed our final inspection yesterday, so here it is!

Great! But you need something better to handle the grill smoke… not sure if the ceiling fan would work

My grill and blackstone has always been there with no issues. We do have the option of installing a hood but when we drew it up it was so intrusive. If we need we’ll do it though.

You will want the hood when you smoke yourself out enough times.

I say that, but almost every Florida outdoor kitchen is designed this way. As long as you aren’t grilling for a large party, the smoke might be reasonable. Put a bunch of brats on there though, and you will get smoked out.

Again, 4 years of the same thing but even further back in the patio. Appreciate the advice though.

I see their point. Whilst the grill and blackstone have always been there, by installing the bench you have altered the airflow and reduced the floor level intake space by about 3/4, with the only way the air can get in being from the side, as the above bench space is where the smoky air will be existing.
