outdoor kitchen/BBQ/Man kitchen

[insurance_jon]

I'll be honest, Tuffers outdoor kitchen in the green egg thread has created man lust, and my 40th is approaching.

I've wanted an ultimate outdoor kitchen/cooking with fire/entertaining station for a while.

What I need from you guys is inspiration/help/leading astray.

I want a nice entertaining station noting:

I have a weber for family cooking so got weekdays covered, but we love entertaining.

I like the big green eggs

I like pizza ovens

I like fire

I like large workspace, but we have a cabinet maker in the family so this can be made after people have helped me chosen heat sources/cooking centres

budget is about 4k (but man maths might creep in)

One issue is that it has to be portable (ish) as we will be moving house in the next 12-18m

I am in your hands chaps (and chapesses)

That's lovely (and not far from my new n Yorks office in princes square)

Would love to do something as permanent that when I move.

Love the wood. As mentioned above a client has just spent an eye watering amount covering a pier in the same stuff.

However what I'm really getting at is what kit would you have in a less permanent installation

Currently fixated on an xlarge egg. What would complement that? Is that enough on its own?

Current thinking is the egg. Large prep area. Large sunken sink/ice bucket. Enough drawers to keep kitt in

Am I missing a trick?

Not wanting to run gas outside etc, or create fittings that are a pain to take away with me

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.

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?
