Re: Michigan Patio Kitchen

Since your in the early stages a suggestion,if you can have some electrical outlet close to the oven for evening cooking .
My oven is finished and I have to use a 25 ft cord to light up the cooking area .

LD-

I did run a 15 amp circuit out there with two duplex boxes; one on either side of the structure; see the last pic on page three in this thread. I almost didn't do the electrical, but now I'm glad I did - at the last minute of course LOL.

Re: Michigan Patio Kitchen

Hi Fish,
Beautiful job and beautiful oven. Also beautiful BBQ next to the oven. I would hate to see a peel slam into that BBQ. It seems very close and a peel flying around there....you might look at that again. It seems like a tight space any way. I like elbow room when I'm wielding my peel. If you put the BBQ where the grill is, you may be a lot happier. Just a thought.

Wood -

Haven't had a problem with that so far even though the Webber is pretty close to the P70. I'm right - handed so I usually have my body between the WFO and BBQ. Being fairly new to this whole pizza situation; I haven't gotten very athletic with my peel YET !! ; -)

Re: Michigan Patio Kitchen

The burner and concrete top are off the shelf. The structure under is cultured stone on cement board on steel 2x4 frame. I've seen some prefabs but couldn't find one the right size. It was sort of an afterthought, but worked out ok.

Re: Michigan Patio Kitchen

You do nice work. Love the fire table! Did you build that or is it something off the shelf?

Re: Michigan Patio Kitchen

OK almost done !!! I ended up putting the FB stand on the P70 upside down. Had to cut about 1.5 " off each upright and about 8" out of the middle of the first cross-member to clear the chimney. Hated to hack up that pretty stand but It fit perfectly !! Put straps around the stand, Hooked that up to Ray's Bobcat, lifted it onto the stand fabricated for this install, and mortared around the bottom. I'm going to put stainless mosaic around the black ring at the bottom and will probably end up painting the dome to better match the masonry.

Re: Michigan Patio Kitchen

Looking good. How are you going to get the oven onto the stand?

Well - I ordered the P70 without a stand, but it came with a stand anyhow. I think I may put the FB stand on the oven upside down and use a hi-lo to move it onto my counter top. I'll probably have to use some timber to even out the load but I suppose the stand will hold the weight of the oven either way. The other option is a case of beer and snacks for a bunch of my strong neighbors.

Re: Michigan Patio Kitchen

Fish, is it possible to move your grill to the far end of the countertop? When placing your oven, make sure you have a wide sweep in front of the oven, to account for pizza peels, oven untensiles, etc. You dont want to be banging into the lid of your grill with your peels or brushes, etc.

Yeah... I might end up moving the grill to where the burner is and vice versa. Have to see how it works when I set the oven in there.
