Ready for next season - one of the last outdoor kitchen installs of 2013

When you hear people say "I love to grill year round, if I could I would grill out every day of the year!"

Do you think those hard core grillers really mean it?  Well these folks sure do!  We installed this outdoor kitchen December 17th and I believe they plan on using it this weekend despite it being below 0 outside.  As you can see from the pictures there is quite a bit of ice on the lake, but can you imagine the view when it thaws this spring? 

I sure can!

What we did here was a clay powder stucco, weather tight Fire Magic doors and drawers with rain guards due to the proximity of the kitchen to the lake, and a Baltic Brown solid surface granite top.  Not trying to conflict with the beautiful red brick masonry that was already in place we decided simple was better the granite offered a great accent to an already beautiful backyard.

We completed the outdoor kitchen with a 38" Delta Heat grill with rotisserie!

One of the benefits of purchasing a true "premium grill" is that the customer is getting a 304 stainless, dual lined grill head that can get to AND maintain the high heat necessary for grilling in colder weather.  Often times a lot of the grills that come at a lower price point are advertised as stainless steel, but a much thinner stainless and often times even a stainless steel that can still be corrosive under harsher elements.  Not this grill that was redesigned this year by Twin Eagles.

That being said - enjoy the view and get ready for warmer weather!  It will be here sooner than you know it!

Concept to Reality Fire Magic Kitchen, Viking Side Burner, Honed and Chiseled Granite, and even a Palapa

We made several revisions on this design, but final came up with a great concept that fit the space, fit the components, and gave this kitchen a very very unique look! Great addition to the outdoor space for truly a one of a kind piece!

First we will start with the design

Now let's take a look at the final project.

What we have here is primarily Fire Magic components in the grill, cut and clean combo, trash can, ice maker, and doors and drawers, we also have featured a Saffire Charcoal Smoker as well as a Viking Outdoor Power Burner.

We also did some custom tile work around the Viking burner to match the flooring.  Enjoy the pictures!!!

Granite: More than you thought....

I've learned a lot about granite with this position because as things become more and more custom in Outdoor Living so do the products we need to carry.  There are actually III levels of granite in the country.  Even though the "extracting" and cutting of these granites remains the same the degree at which their properties and patterns change can be vastly different.  The "rating" of these granites is pretty subjective, but as you can see from the pictures the distinction from a Level I to a Level III is very apparent.  Take a look a the difference:

Uba Tuba Level I (Cutting Board)

Above is a very recognizable Uba Tuba Granite, looks great right?

Black Galaxy Level III

Above is an example of a Level III granite, this is called Black Galaxy, as you can see very notable color and ripple changes throughout the granite making this a Level III piece

This is just one of many Level III granite we can help you with as you make your outdoor living space your own!
