New home for the smoker

[scottma]

I started this project a few weeks back working mostly after work and weekends.  I wanted a better place to smoke and hang out out of the rain. Took about 3 weeks total.  

First pic is where the smoker was.

Heres my rough sketch I did sitting at work.

Then came the build.  I started with a deck platform.

Then the wall/roof structure.  Used all pressure treated 2x4/4x4's

Next was the roof.  I decided on galvanized corrugated metal sheets

Up next was the bar front.  I also added more corrugated to the front and sides

Then it was time to figure out the bar tops.  I decided to buy an 8ft butcher block countertop.  To protect it from the elements I slowly added 5 coats of Marine spar varnish.  Waited 24hrs between coats. 1st pic is 1 coat next is 4 coats.  It feels like glass and water does not penetrate at all.

Finally I installed the counters and added some nautical theming.  Bought a stainless steel prep table and added a small TV we had sitting in the basement.

Really nice. Metal panels gives it that old school bbq joint feel.

Thanks.  I wonder how long it takes to tarnish like that pic you posted.  I do like that look.

 Thanks!! Its been working out great so far.  Its nice having a covered space for the smoker.  

I'd say all in including the decorative stuff about a $1000
