This sounds excellent. I will be doing the same at some point in the future.
I'd also look at http://creativeoutdoorliving.co.uk/saffire_grills_... and visit their showroom in Wentworth, South Yorkshire. They may offer some good ideas.
In mine I'd want:
A ceramic cooker such as BGE or Sapphire
A gas supply to feed a wok burner and a paella ring
A portable induction hob such as a Buffalo
A large prep area and some simple storage and shelving
A herb garden
A hot water heater
Good shelter
Good lighting
I don't want much do I!
Been down to wentworth today, the showroom was open but unattended. However that was better as I could prod and poke without a salesguy over my shoulder.I'd also look at http://creativeoutdoorliving.co.uk/saffire_grills_... and visit their showroom in Wentworth, South Yorkshire.

they have both saffire and komodo.
They all seem very similar.
So what are the differences between Saffire/Komodo & Big Green egg?
is there build quality difference?
Hoping to start my kitchen build in the next month or two, one thing I'm stuck on is worktops.
The whole kitchen will be under a cover (canvas), so wont get wet day to day, but if we are expecting bad wind/rain I will remove the canvas, and in the summer the canvas may be removed, so light summer showers will hit it.
I would love granite, but that will be too expensive.
Wood would look good but I cant see it standing upto getting rained on too well.
Laminate, the same as above, the wood content would soak the rain up and bubble.
So that leaves me with what options?

I don’t want concrete as the units are going to be grey stone (slate), so would be a bit much.
Ill have a look into Corian, that’s basically plastic isn’t it?
Don’t want stainless, would be a bit clinical and modern for my cottage garden.
How about a local slate/stone?Ill have a look into Corian, that’s basically plastic isn’t it?

You could use pressure treated 2x4, sand off the top, age by smacking with chains, and then exterior varnish...Ill have a look into Corian, that’s basically plastic isn’t it?

I made a picnic table (with bothering to age it) using treated 2x4 about 6 years ago, and it's been outside uncovered since. I can't see any issues with it.
It certainly won't look 'posh' like granite, but would be cheaper, and easy to work with.

Hi when we were looking at going our garden (pictured above) we looked at Corian. From what i understand that its not rated for outside so they won't guarantee it against UV bleaching etc. Ill have a look into Corian, that’s basically plastic isn’t it?

I have to say there's no way I'd use corian outside, especially as it's based on mdf under the top layer of corian.Best materials, are either granite, engineered stone, exterior varnished wood, ceramic or porcelain tiles, flat, modern paving slabs or stainless steel. Kinda depends on look and budget. I did see one done in artificial decking boards once, which looked good, but had to be kept well away from the heat I think...?
