I use a propane gas grill and a charcoal smoker. But in my yard, I have an old, small grill with a line to the house natural gas. So this year I was kicking around the idea of building up an island and put a built-in grill on it using the existing natural gas line. That way I can have the grill of a size I like and not worry about running out of propane at an inappropriate time.
Now, I'm wondering if anyone had done something like that and added a smoker in addition to a grill. I'd like to keep my smoking to charcoal. I had not planned on pouring a concrete foundation for the island. I was going to use 4x4 posts to anchor the structure and build off that, so building with concrete blocks would be out in that situation. I also don't really have the room to build any sort of walk in smokehouse. My original smoker plans for this year was to build a UDS, and I'm still doing that. But anyone have ideas for incorporating a charcoal smoker to an outdoor kitchen island?
