My contractor is planning to install the stone facia this week. He will be adding mortar and then flag stone tiles that can range between .6 inches and 2.6 inches in depth. When I slide my BBQ Guys doors in right now up against the cement board only it seems like I already don’t have a lot of room to take advantage of these tabs in order to mount them to the metal frame. He told me he was planning to install these inserts over the stone and not up against the cement board. I think this is gonna be a problem as there’s gonna be no more metal in order to fasten this too, and I don’t think it would be wise to fasten the stainless to the cement board edge or the sides of the stone facia, right? What are my options? Do they make something like a “tab extender” that Id bolt to these, and then bolt those tabs to the metal frame. Seems like that wouldn’t be as secure, but would be better than screwing into mortar or tile.

Alternatively, should I push back and ask him to install these against the cement board and lay the stone around them? I think that makes for cleaner lines.

I got my countertops installed this week and am trying to install my Coyote SL 42” in the insulated jacket. The jacket fit perfect in the counter. My issue is the electric wire loom on the right side. It’s tucked up in the channel, but it comes down to the front too soon and there is zero slack. I can’t push the grill back any further because of the wires. Any ideas?

Really starting to take shape!

My dad flew down to help me with the majority of my outdoor kitchen build. Framing, cement board, and the countertops went super well but the brick veneer was a bit tricky since it was our first time. Hoping to finish up this week but my lower back is feeling ALL the pain

we enclosed the majority of our large (25’x16’) patio into a sunroom leaving a small (9’x7’) area for grilling.
we removed the side burner (that we never use) and other side “cooler” (ditto) from the napoleon prestige pro 500 grill, placed it beside two new age stainless steel cabinets and added a granite countertop.
et voila.
storage space galore with ample workspace (with sink and fridge just steps away in the inside kitchen).
with limited space and a price of under $4k (not including the grill).

Outdoor grilling station is finally finished. It did take me 12 months, but that was due to life getting in the way.

Built an outdoor kitchen island (CMU block, 3cm granite top) with a corner nook sized for a Gozney Dome pizza oven, no stand, sitting directly on the stone.

Just realized that spot is open underneath, no solid block directly below most of the footprint. Back corners might have block, center doesn’t.

Is 3cm granite okay carrying a static ~150lb load like that unsupported, or is this a crack waiting to happen? If I need to add support, what’s the best approach since the countertop is already in and access below is limited to cabinet opening?

Outdoor kitchen complete. It was so much fun to build!!! I technically still need to grout the tiles, but other than that, it's all done.

Here’s the progress!!! What siding can I do that looks nice but still very affordable?? I’m almost over this!

Took a stab at my own built in with the Weber slate and genesis.
The insert where the grills are I put cement board covered by 1/8in aluminum painted in high heat paint.

Hello

Looking for suggestions and ideas on a sleek electrical box and cover that would be on a outdoor kitchen island with a granite top and backsplash. Was planning to place 2-3 on the black splash between the grills and appliances. Is there any sleek modern options as opposed to the bulky ones available on Amazon. Kitchen rendition pic attached . They will be exposed to the elements so have to be weatherproof, thanks in advance
