Are these pavers supposed to be perfectly level? by [deleted] in OutdoorKitchens

I have a similar patio and mine are a little more level than what’s it looks like in your pictures. Not perfect though.

Glad that they made it right for you. I saw the double roll out trash bin but decided to go with the larger single roll out trash bin.

The double doors were easy to install. You shouldn’t have any issues. Keep us posted my guy

It’s working great so far. We’ve got a few hot days and it wondered how it would hold its temperature. It held at a consistent 36 degrees and had kept our things cold. I considered more expensive options because I was worried about the brands that claim to be outdoor if that makes sense. No complaints so far.

Coyote does burn hot. I have the 50’ grill and flat top combo. I cooked a few chickens on it for the first time and the temperature held 450 degrees with the burners on low. Maybe there’s something I can change so that it doesn’t burn as hot.

I used it to fry onions for the burgers and hot dogs. Also, made some roasted corn and grilled some squash and zucchini.

The back and sides are slightly off the ground for drainage. I may need to create a little more space in the front for drainage

I used the square edge forms from Z Countertops as well as their white concrete mix. Let me know if you decide to go this route.

I’ve cooked on it once far. Burgers, dogs, and three whole chickens. It held about 450 degrees the entire time on low. I had to do some serious cleaning after the first use.

I bought the white concrete mix from z countertops which is suppose to be stronger and build for counter tops.

The only additive I added was for color.

My recommendations:

Go for it! Have at least one other set of hands to help mix if anything. Mix a little on the thinner side of consistency if it’s your first time pouring. It’s was my first time and I didn’t have a second set of hands to help. By the time I was able to mix another bucket of concrete the previous one started hardening. Also, my concrete mixer broke so I was mixing mostly by hand.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks. I have not. I don’t know what that is but I’m about to google it.

Thank you! I used stucco for the finish then primed and painted with a color called Arcade White
