Mrs. BGC and I moved into a new, new to us, home this summer. With lots of decorating and upgrades planned, a grilling area was certain. I wanted lots of space, a cover so that I don't get wet, power, a sink, etc. So, construction started... The existing deck was approx 14'x16' and by the time I moved all of the cookers out there, we had zero sitting room. The existing deck was approx 12' off of the ground. We wanted to create separation between the spaces to we dropped the new deck down 2 steps. We ended up adding on a deck that is approx 20'x20' with PLENTY of grilling space. All of the cookers were moved down to the new deck. There is TONS of room for shenanigans down there. Also, we added an outdoor sectional and a fire pit table on the upper deck. The cookers will definitely cook in the rain, but I hate getting wet while cooking. Mrs BGC and I picked up a powder coated aluminum gazebo. It's vented on the top so it's perfect for grilling and smoking. The instructions said, "8-10 people required for assembly." Assembly took the better part of a Sunday, but I was able to assemble it myself. It measures 16'x16' in diameter and there is more than enough room for everything. I plan to run electric and lighting underneath and MAY just have enough electricity to fire up the EGG-CAMs once again! I am super stoked at home the project turned out. I cannot wait to cook, teach and host parties here on the new Grilling Deck! You con't grill in the dark! I added some lights so grilling in the off-season is more doable. Each of the 8 columns has a 60W incandescent light fixture mounted to it. It lights up pretty well! Huge shout out to my boy, Derik Chaves, for getting the job done right!! Thanks Derik!
