I Built a Luxury $20,000 Outdoor Kitchen

What happens here

The presenter retrieves metal studs from his truck. He explains that metal studs are chosen over wood for fire safety and moisture resistance, especially for an outdoor grill station. He measures the required height and width for the base frame, aiming for a counter height of 36 inches, adjusting for the countertop thickness (1.25 inches). He then cuts the metal studs using a portable band saw (Ryobi brand) on sawhorses.

Goal: Cut metal studs to size for the cabinet frames.

neighborhood. Let's get into it. We're going to make sure we do this right and build this thing out of steel. All right, so here's what we're working with. We've built this beautiful rough sawn pergola right here on our last video and it looks absolutely incredible. Well, today we're going to take this thing across the finish line and build this most epic outdoor built-in grill station that you could ever imagine. And so here's what we're working with. So right now we just simply have a grill sitting against the wall, right? And we got to create an intentional space and here's what I'm thinking. We're going to start with countertops. Countertops are everything, especially for us to put everything that we were to cook on top. We're going to have big ones on the left, big one on the right here. And because I have the space here, we're going to create an L-shape that we can put either a pizza oven on top or a green egg on it or maybe even a Blackstone. We don't know. The possibilities are going to be endless for us. Now, on top [snorts] of that, we're going to need some storage. So what I want to do is one of my big pet peeves is having all these blood soaked or dirty barbecue sauce towels. So I need to throw them away. So we're going to put a metal cabinet that's going to draw out our um trash chute. We're going to have another cabinet here that's going to have paper towels and pull out drawers for all our utensils. And then we're going to have a big cabinet right here and that's where we'll be able to store propane tank to fit anything that needs to sit on top of these countertops. Now, we also need to have a little bit more excitement that's going to be on this wall here. I want to create some kind of accent wall. Ideally, maybe some floating shelves are going to completely across, but definitely we're going to hit this thing up with some countertops going across. I'm thinking granite countertops, maybe even quartz. We'll see how the day it That's my plan. That's what we're thinking. So, the first thing we're going to start doing is start chopping up our metal studs and putting the base frame of these cabinets right in place. Let's get to cutting. 36 and 1/2 Well, my big question here is I don't know how I'm going to do the countertops in this L-shaped cuz I don't know how I'm going to position this post right in the middle of the granite countertop. Unless we create like a U around it and then put a filler piece, which I don't know how that works. But, we…
