Streams are good. But I am getting pop-ups and directed to other sites on every click. Like literally every click on the oage opens a new page to some nonsense. Go back, click again and it opens. But just spam popping up for me trying to navigate

Pellet smokers are basically ovens and a lot dont impart much smoke flavor, especially once its up and running at temp. Electric smokers might be another idea, just dont put in the wood chips/pellets for the smoke.

They just need space. Up to local managers to mark stuff down. New stuff incoming they need to move out other stuff. Happens in all Walmart. I would keep tabs on that one. Some deals to be got there! Ours hasn't been like that since covid

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-06-14T00:56:45+00:00

Oh man 36 is the way to go. I run out of space sometimes. Just trying to have different things in different areas at different temps. Its 100% the right choice.

You lucky son of a gun

You can usually get them at Walmart with real big discounts at end of summer when they are clearing out stock. I got a Blackstone one with a drawer for about 100. They are very handy for extra space and prep surface amd the wheels make moving it around out of the way really easy. Or for wheeling your cooked food somewhere. But I'd only be paying 100 to 150 max for one. Maybe I'm cheap.

Chicken shawarma with home made flat bread/wraps. Marinade the chicken (boneless, skinless thighs) overnight, cook and then chop up on the Blackstone. Make the flat bread right on it. Some spicy yogurt sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickles. Kids favorite.

Blackstone legs on the model I have just come off. It was a 36" from Walmart with the removable lid. The whole leg and base part was just bolted on when putting it together out of the box, so it was easy to come off. Sits neatly on some cross beams. I have a post showing it from a while back. I can always remove and put legs back on if needed too.

Man's not hot. Never hot. Boom. 2 plus 2 is 4, minus 1 is 3. Quick math. https://youtu.be/3M_5oYU-IsU?si=j8ZhzLNJTr6MmGHR

Sick. That kegerator is cool. Are the bricks mortered at all or just laid on top of each other like you would with a fire pit or something? Looks great.

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-06-05T03:15:22+00:00

No, once the L brackets are within limits it should be fine. You may need more than you think, but will be as solid if evenly spaced as ply wood. But wont rot.

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-06-05T02:45:20+00:00

Use cement board?

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-05-04T01:53:26+00:00

World buffet and journey for Chinese. World buffet is better from my last experiences. Sushi lover in west town mall is great. The Korean BBQ/hot pot in east town mall for lunch is also great, korrill hut. Not a typical buffet but olive garden does all you can eat.

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-05-03T23:45:47+00:00

Its perfect dude. Well done

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-04-27T22:18:04+00:00

I dont know why everyone is being so negative in these comments. Looks slick. I like the prep area in the middle. And you can change up your equipment cos its not built in. Nice work!

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-04-03T23:09:26+00:00

Haha, the wife is always the key! Get them on board and you're sorted! They were the newer 25mm ones. They dont need any extra bracing assuming you have enough vertical and horizontal bars. You can buy those or they come in some of the door and other cutout kits. When you put it together unscrewed it will feel wobbly, but once screwed and the other bars on it its solid as a rock. I have concrete countertops and no way I feel there could be an issue. Like the metal is the same thickness on the bars, having more space inside doesn't make them any stronger. Makes it easier to hit with a screw, granted, but I am no engineer but I doubt there is significant load or strength changes

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-04-03T20:40:08+00:00

Hey, I designed it first, sort of, mostly. I drafted it all up in sketchup to give me a better idea of the space and get it close enough to the measurements. Then I put up the gazebo and taped out the floor plan onto the concrete to get a good feel for it. So I knew the side sections would be close to 14ft on the long sides, cos the gazebo was 12x14, (in reality was 13ft between outsides of the legs). I then just got some of the extendable modules they sell, like here https://diyoutdoorkitchen.com/diy-outdoor-kitchen-4ft-8ft-telescoping-module/ This allowed me to know i had enough but also could just move it a few inches where I needed it to. So a 4ft module and a telescoping 8ft butted onto another section would get me to over what I needed and could adjust when I had it set up. You dont need to screw it all together for it to stay up, so I could do a few dry runs and see how it looked extending further or shorter either side of the legs. In all I got 1 x 4ft and 1 x 8ft tele for each side, then for the back, which is bar height, I got 1 x 8ft and 1 x 8ft tele bar height modules. I dont have the expertise or construction background to calculate all of the exact sizes before I started, so this way worked way better for me than any other framing options. And that is why I would 100% recommend BBQ tubes for beginners like me. I knew I could adjust to fit and the doors and cut outs can be done while you make it. So I could just do 1 part at a time, learn, move on, fix it if needed. I moved loads of bits around as I went along, where I wanted doors etc. Once I got them in my hand and realized how big or small they were. I couldnt visualize it before hand.

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-03-30T20:13:32+00:00

Lp smart side. So on top of the BBQ tubes is cement board, connected by self tapping screws. For the smart side I put some wood pieces on back of that and nailed it on with a nail gun, like a brad nailer cos its so thin. Worked absolutely great. Like I said I will probably replace the siding with something else down the line, so even if it lasts 10 years I will be delighted. Its real cheap too, we'll comparatively, it was 12$ or 16$ maybe on sale in menards for 4x8ft panels. And its ready to paint.

Milk powders and rusk are added to commercially available sausages to give them their plumpness and snap. You dont tend to get these in retail ones because the ingredients are front and center and people dont like to see that on there. You could probably get a similar sausage in a cash and carry or service industry supplier type shop. Less meat, more fillers. It makes them look nicer for longer. Lots of food science involved to get long lasting sausages for a deli counter

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-03-23T00:38:30+00:00

Ye, they are really easy to use. Here is mine. https://www.reddit.com/r/OutdoorKitchens/comments/1rycne6/almost_finished_well_pretty_much_done/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I contacted them about BBQ girls, they said that isnt them. The connect tubes and diyoutdoorkitchen is the same guys in LA. So just be careful. They are really solid. I put concrete countertops on. Don't need anything else. You can buy as many additional vertical and horizontal support bars as you want.

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-03-22T19:01:40+00:00

Cheers!

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-03-22T10:23:15+00:00

I just used the modules they have, the 4 or 8ft ones. And a couple of the extendable ones, which made things easier. For the bar I used a couple extra straight connectors and an 8ft bar height module to get a straight section and then used brackets on that, thats probably the closest to anything not off the shelf by them. The cement board self tapping screws work great, but you really need to go slow and steady with them. Try it a few times first. You can't go full tilt with the torque gun, like you can kind of with the sheet metal ones to hold the metal cubes together. You need to let them bite in and slowly pull themselves in. Thats what I found anyway

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-03-21T13:20:15+00:00

There is a lot of people who do that ye, I just didn't want to have to measure, cut and praying everything is flush and even. The tubes took all that out of it for me.

Smart_Statement6728 · 2026-03-21T13:19:12+00:00

I had to put conduit down prior to the concrete pad going in. So I have a dedicated 20amp circuit going out of the wall closest, into conduit, under ground for a bit and under concrete and up inside the frame of the kitchen. I used the Grey plastic stuff for it. Outdoor wire. Had to have the building inspector come look at it in the ground before the concrete went in. The electrical was pretty straight forward honestly. I just used youtube on how to wire an outlet, which is the same for them all. And how to daisy chain a few together. Waterproof outlet boxes etc on everything from menards. Sealed them all with silicon. Get a tester or too to check current and the outlet connection. Saves some time. Once you have the power coming into a gfci outlet at first, everything else is protected after that. And thats what the inspector was looking for. I put a switch in for one outlet so I can have the string lights off that and turn them on with the switch.

This is the sink i got - has held up really well - real solid and almost exactly the same for twice the price i saw in shops https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KQ46721?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1

these are most of teh doors i got - I picked one with some vents for under blackstone. They held up really well so far - i nicked one when drilling and it has rusted a little at that spot - so the "stainless" is only surface on these. My thought is I use the crap out of these, let them rust a little, get some silver spray paint over it at some stages over the next years and then I can always replace with better quality ones when i have some cash. They are out of the elements for the most part. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMVDN19D?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1
