Outdoor kitchen

[jakemurray83]

Well, I was able to finish 90% of the outdoor kitchen build this weekend. Incorporated a Traeger Timberline into the build after a few modifications and addition of a Stainless Platform. A couple trim pieces to finish and it should be finished.

Amazing work on your outdoor kitchen! We're currently building a home and it's almost time to finalize details on my dream outdoor kitchen. I'd love to build in the Timberline 1300 but have nowhere near the skills you have. I will have an L-shaped kitchen with the small side containing a sink and countertop work area and then as I turn the corner I'm going to build in a 36" griddle, hopefully, a pizza oven, and then have the 1300 on the top of the L (far right). Could I simply remove the legs and set on the heat-resistant surface? It seems the drip system falls below where the legs are removed so that may be an issue. And if I were to leave enough room to remove the drip pan so I don't have to modify it, how much room would I need to the left in order to pull the drip pan out to clean? Thanks in advance!

Remarkable! I'm so jealous.

My first thought was to cut the legs down to two inches and have it ride on the new legs. I ruled that out because if I ever wanted to convert it back to a full unit I would have to by new legs. That said, I just began looking for metal blocks at the height that I wanted. Granger or other industrial supply houses would work well. I ended up using metal 4-gang electrical boxes that I filled the other edges to smooth them and panted to match the unit. Seemed to work well and be cost effective. If I still had budget money left I was going to have a local shop just weld me some boxes out of stainless to match the bottom tray.

Rich,

Did you fill they switch boxes with anything ( cement) ? I would think if hollow they would slide easily. I'm thinking about using your idea or perhaps

but I think that might also may be prone to slipping. Thanks and congrats on a dynamite set-up

Hi, I notice you have integrated the Treager Timberline into your kitchen. How much clearance did you leave under the pellet hopper to insure proper venting? How did you determine the clearance required? did you encounter any issues while using it?

Question? Is the area behind your timberland 1300 screened? Or open?

I added a new addition to my outdoor kitchen area. It’s actually between the outdoor kitchen and what I call my smoking house. I made me a grill grate soak/wash station. I’ve been making a mess using my sink in my outdoor kitchen area and the grates only fit at an angle, not anymore!

I think we should ban builders from posting on this forum so that the rest of us can stay sane and not die of jealousy!

Just kidding, we love what you do Shedd!

That came out great! I can only imagine how handy that would be. Might have to steal your idea.

Thanks! I’ve been trying to get around to it for some time and had a half day so took advantage of it. I was at Lowe’s a couple weeks ago getting some drain pipe outside in the Lawn and Garden area, they had the galvanized bins and made me realize what I could do with one. Heck, for $139 I can’t buy a kitchen sink at that price so I grabbed one. I then got a drain kit for a bathtub and piped the drain into a drain box that runs out into my field. I rigged an aluminum foil pan as a grease catch basin for easy cleaning. Planning to break it In tomorrow afternoon!

Finally got to extending the deck. The furniture will go into a new 12 x 16 gazebo that is on its way. The smokers and BBQ'S will share the 10 x 12 space. I will more them to make them more accessible. Nice thing is, the Traeger will have a spot in there and ultimately see more use


Now I can get back to smoking and cooling out there. Been a shambles for the last month.

With all those smokers, you need to put in a full size propane tank and a propane distribution system . While you are at it, you might as well put in a propane heater to keep the pitmaster warm during BC winters. Being on an island, the temperature is far more moderate than it is here in Chicagoland. Here, I have to pick warmer days in winter if I want to use the Traeger.

Great job. Well done.

Thanks, only one propane item there, the gas BBQ. But that will probably change as I now will have room for a griddle and will need to get a fire table for the sitting area. The current gazebo has a radiant electric heater hanging in the center.
Definitely more temperate climate here than Chicago. I grew up in Winnipeg, so I know what winters can be. Glad I don't see those temps anymore

I definitely like your plan of adding the gas griddle. When I got mine, it made a big difference to my food prep. I love smoking steaks and then searing them on the griddle (reverse sear). The griddle is also great for burgers and breakfast items.

I do not have a fire table as my grilling area is on a wooden deck with fireproof pads below the grills. For a sitting area, a fire table would be cozy.

I have been here in Chicagoland for 25 years now after spending most of my life on the East Coast. Most years it only gets down to minus 5 F (minus 21 C). We had one year when the temp dropped to around minus 25 F with a wind chill around minus 40F thanks to an Alberta clipper. I wish there was some way of stopping those weather events at the Canada/USA border.
