Outdoor kitchen / shop ideas

[oklahomajoe]

Just poured my concrete today. 20x30. Gonna build my shop / outdoor kitchen myself. I wont do much mechanic type work inside. Im just building it mainly for a place to store my John Deere 790 tractor and my Yamaha Rhino. I plan to add a freezer, a fridge, and a 3 bay stainless sink with 30" stainless countertop on each side. My smokehouse will sit right outside, along with my deer skinning rack.
As of now I have the slab poured with a piece of electrical conduit, a drain line, and a water line coming in.
This is where I plan to process my deer meat, cook gravies, hang out while smoking.
If anyone has any ideas or pics of anything I might should do for a cool outdoor kitchen/shop, before I get too deep into this, I would appreciate it.

I know all of yall outdoor cooking enthusiasts have some ideas, or some regrets on not doing something when building one. Let me have em.

It all depends on what your interests are...

Is this enclosed or open. From your posting it seems like both at some points.

Anyways... Give us some more info about where its going to be (maybe I missed something, I'll blame it on the rum). Id say lots of storage and workspace. Plenty of electrical options, maybe a drop down something or other.

Enough blabbing.

Post over.

If nothing else, I would be sure to have hot water inside and outside, and plenty of it.

I have one brewing in my head for a future build it is going to include a stone hearth pizza oven, plus cable and phone for the big screen tv , to watch cooking shows, gonna be a full blown outdoor kitchen

You could always put the smokers inside also. Just vent them to the outside and put in an exhaust or "whole house" fan for when you open the door while smoking. No need to worry about keeping the smoker out of the wind and you wouldn't have to go very far to put things in or take them out.

Air, pipe in some air piping around the shop, you always need air in a shop, and if your wanting to buy a new 3-bay sink you can Pm me, i sell stuff like that for a living. <-- i hope i didnt break the rules saying that.

In my shop, i have a hoist that i can pull deer up with and skin all in one process, all you need is a hoist, golf ball, and some way to tie the deer down to the ground, and can skin the deer in one pull of the hoist.

Maybe you can combine/incorporate a smoking station/grinding station/meat prep station far enough from any power tools that create wood dust/chips. Or maybe a good shop ventilation sys. Plenty of space to store your needed supplies and tools, no need to go back into the house/kitchen.

Definitely get a big compressor and run air lines.
