I wanted to build some type of outdoor kitchen affair, Covered but open (if you see what I mean!). Have started the work, will be enclosed on 2.5 sides with a large BBQ area (big enough for a small pig on a spit) and also a smoking oven.

Work has started and here we are below (weather has slowed the build somewhat)! This was taken at the beginning of the month



And this was taken this morning



Need a smithy to make the grill.

Any ideas for sourcing the following:

Motorised Spit (mains powered albeit low voltage)
Smoker Door (material should be metal I guess!)

Have a look at this thread - not quite like yours but not far off....

It is a bit rambling and quite ad-hoc but might give you some ideas.

Things I have changed is - better air intake, changed fire location to front of oven. Both of these have been crucial to getting better burning with wood and charcoal as well as keeping more of the heat in the oven and less going out of the flue.

Also bookmarked.

This year I will be building something like this.

I am keeping everything within the dev rights in terms of size, height, no doors, no connecting to house and suchlike..... Hopefully wont fall foul of anything

A few new pictures - Weather has been kinder of late. Roof goes on today

Will be a textured finish, white on the inside and green on the outside (to match the surrounding fencing). Girlfriends daughter is a bit of an artist and will be decorating the inside with various items (mosaics, paintings on the wall etc.)

No pizza oven?

I did that once, but whatever they coat the metal with started to bubble off. Maybe just using an old oven shelf would work better?

Excellent. Keep the photos coming.
