Building My Dream Outdoor Kitchen, Without Plumbing

[@lscales6131]

When I helped my buddy with his outdoor kitchen he just hooked it up to his hose and had it run into a barrel inside the cabinet and he would then either dump it or drain it into an actual sink inside. Depending on what was cleaned in the sink that day. Mostly it was for hand washing so he just dumped it into the yard.

[@johnm7257]

Dude I’ve followed you for a few years now, I love your channel. It’s nuts to see how big your kids have grown, solid job making a better home for them, you guys keep rocking it! You’ve inspired me to do so many projects around the house and tbh haven’t turned out too bad. Keep it up!

I'm in Orlando. Doesn't matter what month it is, yes, it's hotter. More humid too.

[@brianmaietta]

You did a great job! Not criticism, just for future... when using metal lath, you should staple every 2"-4". and it is best practice to use a liquid membrane after the mortar fill because you are puncturing the waterproofing with the nails or staples when you attach the lath to the OSB. But again, love the project man! youre awesome.

[@191chilln]

heat from the grill right next to house siding exterior is something to worry about. looks nice though

[@digitalawareness4282]

Traeger recommends 18” clearance behind stove…

[@JamieReynolds89]

how come?

[@191chilln]

@@JamieReynolds89 Grills get hot. If to close to siding, paneling can melt or catch on fire.

[@buckshot5896]

I have this same grill, it is double wall metal, it surprisingly doesn’t get as hot as you would expect. But I do keep mine 18-24” from my house under a covered porch

Your videos are like no other DIY'ers, love the real and thorough step by step type of videos with quality in the editing and videography to match. Wonderful video!

[@tysoncurrie7745]

So the cost for him at the end was 1,774.00 but it would cost really around 2,500.00 if you want to make it, but if anyone tries this awesome cool project and has hook-ups as well with supplies or you already have the supplies then it will obviously be cheaper, but from scratch, with no hook-ups on supplies it is realistically around 2,500.00 + for this project. It came out looking awesome. I am thinking about doing this project. Love watching these DIY projects that inspire me to do something similar. 😁

[@HansOnProduction1984]

Man stumbled across this vid, watched the whole thing and appreciate the real approach to the build and the problem solving that went into it - finished product was fantastic!

[@ReysBoomBoomRoom11]

VERY well done. Im in the process of finalizing my plans for a cinderblock grill station Im building this coming Fall, (trying to avoid the heat of another summer project). Your station is so well done, you really have me thinking about amending my plans. I like the idea of being able to take grilling station with you when you move as well as the versatility an almost modular setup gives you if you want to swap out/upgrade grills down the line.

[@Mlife01]

I'm a bit late to the party but currently in Antarctica at the South Pole with temps at -65F. Having worked in the high heats and now very cold, I'd take the heat work for sure.

HUGE FAN. recent first time home owner. Have got a lot of helpful tips from watching your videos. Thank you! God bless

[@horbeme]

I like this video and have plan to build my outdoor kitchen as well. I was planning on using metal wall studs and cement board so it can be tiled, that can work as well right. no need for me to have a water barrier, correct?

[@1230mkelly]

It wont hurt; nevertheless, it would be overkill/ wasted extra money with no real/true "extra" benefit.

[@TheCreekerdudes]

I’m in Nashville, TN. It’s 90 degrees here and it feels like 100 degrees. So really, it’s 100 degrees!!!

[@paynespaulding3621]

Awesome video! It really helped inspire me to hopefully doing something like this at my house. The only thing I would consider doing differently is buying a y adapter for a garden hose outlet and then using a quick disconnect at the hose spigot and then using a whip hose to connect that to the back of the cabinet by drilling a hole where you can put a quick disconnect coupler there. That way it is easier to utilize the faucet and it still remains mobile because of how easy it is to disconnect the hose. Then you only need one bucket for the wastewater.

[@JohnS-hp2xu]

Here in Texas we have triple digit temps. Lots of humidity too.

[@_thisisdavid]

Decided to work on a sitting fire pit area in my back yard, the week it started to get hot in here in Florida. That was like 3 months ago, and I haven't finished because I can only do so much before I pass out from sweating so much.

[@zacklynch584]

So frustrating! I never get your videos in my feed, then go to your channel and find tons of gold content. I'm out in Middleton and love following you guys!

[@carlosgaitan5353]

From Nicaragua, 100 degrees pretty much the whole year, Awesome work!

[@samcook2775]

If you want an even more finished built in look there's also a matching trim piece for sale that covers the bottom wheels of the grill for built-in setups like that

[@CodyKeller]

Beautiful build and loved the candidness! Only recommendation would be to wear a mask when mixing concrete and cutting stone - You don't want to have lifelong problems from a fun project!

[@tmac3773]

In the Permian Basin of Texas and it's been between 102-106 all week. But regardless 90 something working in the sun it's hot no matter what

I can relate to working outdoors in the heat. I was helping to assemble 3 pergolas in Naperville, Illinois. My mistake was not bringing any sunscreen.

You're right about that Tobias. I'm considering an outdoor kitchen as well for frying in particular, and I don't have any of the tools, knowledge, or expertise and I particularly fear the exorbitant cost I'm going to face.

[@antonenberg]

In Sweden and we had 90 degrees today. (32 celsius)😉 Worked outside removing grass and dirt for building an Herbal garden

[@dddmmm21]

Real question, but instead of OSB+Membrane+Lath+cement, wouldn't it be way more practical and equally good to simply use a cement board over the 2x4s?

[@MrBuildit]

That’s a question for masonry guys.

[@VaughanHandyman]

Yes

[@btphillips79]

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Would certainly be more weather resistant if done that way.

[@oneway1811]

Yes it would’ve Is just the same like your house is made with 2x4 they are not pressure treated just the ones in the bottom

[@tos0452]

Exactly my thoughts

[@maruscaman]

Yo! Awesome build. Couple of notes: 1. You’re going to hate that grey water system, I know from experience cuz I build custom rvs😂. 2. Just buy and electric pump and install a cool lit up switch. 3. You may be happier just buying 2 30 gallon tanks because the grey is going to fill up quick and you will constantly have to clean it out. But at that point you may as well run extensions and just connect into the homes plumbing system for grey and fresh 😅

[@dazmawilliams4530]

I agree

[@cruisecontoltravelcentral6220]

Great Video! I just have one question. maybe it's been answered. Why the foot pump vs garden hose attachment for water supply?

[@adriangrama9153]

In Estonia here, Northern Europe. Normally, the weather sucks, but last few weeks it has been 25 to 30 C stably (77 to 86), which is the definition of really hot here. :D

[@virtualMF]

Love the video and that you're not afraid to show your mistakes and how to correct them. That's 90% of finishing a project. By the way, you should be able to reverse the door on the fridge so it opens toward where you're standing at the grill.

[@ztriplea]

After thought, could you have had a house adabter lead from the hose to a level on off 3 way value(not sure how to word that) and then when the hose is on you can then control it with the faucet

How’s that side burner working out for you. Based on the instructions I was reading for the cutout, there had to be a partition from the intake and exhaust of the ventilation for it to work properly. From this video, looks like you cut out the opening and just dropped it in.

Since you used OSB which is not rot resistant at all and you wrapped everything in stone anyway, you could probably save a bit by using non pressure treated lumber.
