Some of us have sheds not much bigger than that Jeff. Only kidding, do take some shots during the building of it.

I Got That Pic As An Example Lol All This Will Be Is The Gas Bbq Island Type Area And Maybe Gravel Or Nice Stones Eventually I Want To Build A Gazebo And A Nice Picnic Table ! Again Any Ideas Will Be Appreciated

I think what you need to do Jeff. is build a brick surround with a compartment for the gas bottle and sit a BBQ top on the brickwork. This is the most common way that's it's done down under, other than the portable type, but using second hand bricks the cost would be quite low. I do of course realise that we are on a woodworking forum but making it out of wood could be a fire hazard!

Here is an Ozzie link showing how to build a brick BBQ

One suggestion, stick with a design that uses lava rocks. The new units that have stainless plates just dont do the same job.

**harrysin** · 08-01-2007, 08:33 AM

I agree with you Mike, that's the sort we have.

unlimitedwoodworker · 08-01-2007, 01:19 PM

well i thought about doing it in wood then for the counter tops use tiles or something like that?

I made one to fit the grill, using framing techniques. I used metal studs and then concrete board instead of drywall, and then tiled it. All non-combustible materials, and went together quickly.

BBQ- Bad!
Smoker - GOOD!

(I do a bit of welding here and there)
