We are building a home and I'm planning the Outdoor Kitchen space.
Since I will have a large Garden and plan to do lots of canning, I am planning a large sink. Also planning a Pizza oven. Then thinking a larger Traeger Grill. Not sure if an EGG would be useful or not, but would look pretty cool?
We have never done much smoking and have never had a specific smoker. Since I need the space pre-planned, I want to figure out what we are doing now. I am thinking that I can do an upright smoker like an MES and just leave an open space in the outdoor kitchen that it can set into? If you have a similar setup, do you allow space around all 3 sides of the smoker, or is it more built in with half of it sticking up above the counter?

Thank you! I am thinking an electric smoker, since the Traeger will be wood pellets. I am open to Propane if that is better. Also, open to any suggestions or any other must haves! I am thinking I will do a plug in burner for canning use and also have a built in fridge.

Pellet smoker is an excellent option. Review Rec Tec before you go buy a Traeger.
