Hi all,
We are having some renovations done on our carport to create an outdoor entertainment space which I'm looking forward to. Currently, I have a Large BGE that sits in a nest and a MiniMax (which I use more often) that just sits on the ground.
I'm looking to have an area in the newly renovated carport to house both the Large and Minimax Eggs. I originally was thinking a table, but now I think it makes more sense to have some custom cabinetry built to have the 2 Eggs, some countertop space and a section for a mini fridge / beverage fridge. (I won't have running water access up there. I'm likely going to need an outdoor hood to pull the smoke so it doesn't all get stuck up under the 3 walled enclosed carport.
Thus, I have some questions for the BGE peanut gallery:
1) Any other items I should consider from anyone regarding thoughts around best utilization of the space?
2) Any recommendations / resources re: the hood vent I'll need to go with? Looks like you can run those pretty expensive which I would obviously prefer to not have to do if not necessary.
3) What type of countertop would you guys recommend for the space up top?
4) Lastly, if you're aware of any sites or drawings that you've come across that look really good for a 2 Egg setup (with the Large and MiniMax next to each other since I'll need to have the hood go over those areas instead of having the Eggs on each end of the table/cabinetry, I'd love to review that or message with anyone directly.
Thanks in advance for your help!
