Got a butt on the kettle.
 
Very nice setup. I'll get some pics of mine when the weather is a little nicer. Mine's a little sloppy from the Winter laziness, lol.

Thank Mike, spring is comin'.

Love the title!
Mine is still "winterized", but here's a shot from a couple of years ago. My patio isn't completely covered so I improvised.....View attachment 487547
Nice place Smokey. We had a cover on the deck above until the wife got her new sunroom last summer. The yard is a mess after the construction. I'll be spending the summer growing grass.......and cooking.
 
I sort of have the natural set-up.... but for 25 years I've been thinking of some improvements because I go from bad to worse pretty quick.

That's crazy. I have a similar setup sans the snow. I've really been wanting to build something to cook under, but the price of lumber has gone through the roof. At least tripled in price.
 
Many years ago I had a designated TV and movie room. On the door was a sign that said exactly what the title of your thread is...and I still love the statement. Back then is was smoking something other than a slab of meat :emoji_laughing:

Cool thread. It's always fun to put cookers with the people you've come to know in the forum. Would love to see a bunch of folks chime in on this one.

Thanks for sharing your space Robert, wonderful view.
 
I keep the pellet smoker and blackstone on our covered front porch. It's my favorite place in the summer. Looking down the hill at the lake

We painted the outside of house and the concrete porch last spring so ignore the stains they are gone now

Stickburner stays under one of the carports and I roll it out to cook

Hey Robert, please explain your T-Cooker. I've seen several similar but is your's a reverse flow? The connection between the upright and the horizontal pipe is a common welder qualification test which takes some skill to layout so it's symmetrical.

Great backyard cooking setup. Which one do you use the most?

Would hate to be in the middle of tending to a long cook when that progression sets in :emoji_disappointed:

Yeah, it’s nuts everywhere ... wanting to extend a utility room to house the golf cart, but cost/SF coulda built a house for what a lousy shed will cost now.

Agree on both points :emoji_wink:
And I do miss my dedicated theater and music rooms :emoji_disappointed:

Still a work in progress here. Now that weather nicer will have the Blackstone on one of the tables. Have to build a lower platform for the Smokin-It. Have a large umbrella to set up ... can’t build a structure since the patio is outside the setback limited build area. Don’t use the BGE very much anymore so selling to a friend, and will be looking at a new addition.
Will get some better pics when the sun returns and clean up a bit next day or two.

Some nice looking set ups, Robert I think I see just enough room for that wood fired pizza oven under there :emoji_laughing:
My stuff is set up in multiple places right now and I'm going to be adding some more space before to long even with the high lumber prices.
 
It would be nice if members would put their location in their profile it would looking at the pics make more sense.
I think I can figure out where Jake is but being I'm in FL I think Thirdeye is on a white sand beach somewhere and the wind is blowing the sand onto his smokers
