  1. Great video. Quick question, I noticed you only added cement board to the bottom/floor of the area where the burner is and under the sink there is no cement boards on the floor. Is there a reason for this? And how do you secure the cement board on the floor to the metal studs? Thanks

  2. Great video! Why did you go with 2 1/2 inch wide vs 3 5/8 wide metal studs? I'd like to use the 20 gauge 2 1/2 as well but want to make sure I understand the difference in the end result if any.

  3. One issue that should never be overlooked for insurance reasons is permitting and building to code. Especially critical when tieing into the gas supply and running electrical lines. I'm a firefighter and have seen this ignored and the consequences can be costly. Worst scenario I'm aware of happened in an another county. Storm dropped a tree onto an outdoor kitchen and the owners were on vacation. Gas line ruptured and ignited, quickly spread to the house. House was a total loss. Insurance denied the claim for multiple code violations and lack of permits. It may seem like a simple build that can be thrown together without thought to code but looking at this video the bells and whistles are screaming. In my state the placement alone tucked into the house wouldn't fly. Gas lines are galvanized. Framing subpar. Many other minor issues visible. As someone who is indirectly involved and sees what happens when people cut corners I assure you it's not worth it.

  4. Great video! Have you heard of ConnecTubes? You can build a real steel frame without welding. The system is super cheap and uses steel couplers and 1.5 x 1.5" square galvanized steel tubing. Highly recommend you learn about this building product to use for bbq frames etc… The price is comparable to track and studs. They even have telescoping cutout kits for less cutting.

  5. Very nice job, when cutting such a small amount off the backer board. Just install the entire 5×3 sheet, run your utility knife along the edge of the track a few times. Bend it forward and under cut done. Saves time and a ton off airborne dust.

  6. Amazing work!!!
    What’s the cost of the galvanized framework? There is a company selling those premade but for your size barbecue it’ll cost me almost $8000. You think it’s better to just buy it from Home Depot and do myself? Or was it hard? Thank you

  7. Thanks!! you inspired me to do something similar for my backyard. How did you determine width of barbecue insert, did you have appliance already before installing it and is it just sitting over frame? Thank you again.

  8. Great video. I’ve been going back and forth on a few ideas of setting up my outdoor kitchen and your design solidified many of them. Very detailed video and definitely shows you plan your work and work your plan!

  9. Nice set-up. i am a commercial kitchen repair tech, looks like you went with galvanized pipe for your gas. one recommendation, i would use black pipe or even better for outdoor the black green coated pipe.

  10. I would love to know your frame dimensions. I see you built it to put the refrig on the ground. How tall is your fridge opening? 34”? How deep is the unit? What is your finished height?
