Help scheduled for wednesday to lift in the kamado. I left the front beam and breads out for now so we don’t have to lift it that high.
The far right has no table top, there i’m gonna place a concrete slab with a castiron grid. Under it will be space for brikettes and my dutch oven(s)/skillets can be placed on the cast iron grid
This isn’t merely home improvement - it’s a full life upgrade. Looks beautiful! It would be great if you could post some photos when it’s completed, as well.
I will post more later. It’s a full patio rebuild. The wish to buy a kamado and make a table for it that also accomodate the ooni and dutch ovens initated it.
The empty space on the right will be storage of ooni and DO’s
As someone who uses Japanese cookware (such as a kamado), I was briefly very confused as to why you would need to build someone to home your rice cooker.
Sorry… Is “Kamado grill” less confusing? (Damn, that would be one hell of a rice cooker to fit in there)
Did you join everything with pegs?!
Mostly screws sunken into the legs. The holes are plugged (if you zoom in you might be able to see I need to cut and sand some)
I am slightly less impressed in that case. It’s still gorgeous though.
Thnx. Peg’s … Traditional. Needs different joints. Challenging, Can see myself building with pegs somewhere down the line.
It’s such an elegant way of doing it. SO time consuming though. And I’m sure I would screw it up at least the first 15 tries before I got anything resembling ‘acceptable’.
