3 Seasons room project.

Here is a project we are working on for a potential 3 seasons room. This has a grill, side burner, egg, sink w/ bar caddy, inlayed natural gas fire and even an external outlet for the T.V..  The grill looks over a custom waterfall and will be able to serve off of and even put bar stools at if needed.

Custom 3 Seasons Room w/ Fire Feature and Sink

Concept to reality.

So these egg islands are getting big.  What better way to market your house then advertising a custom outdoor kitchen. Here was a simple concept brought to life....

3/4 Bar Island w/ utensil option. Seats 4 comfortably.

And then we made it happen.....pretty snazzy.

How did we do?????

New Concept???

Another complete outdoor space.

This family is looking at a complete space.  about a 30 x 20 stamped concrete slab w/ an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, benched seating and pergola.  I like.

Complete...holy cow what else do you need project????

This one I have been working on for a very long time.  The owner is going to invest, and I think this is one of the best I've done.  It's exceptional in use of space as well as components..including a Saffire Egg/Grill 6 burner stainless with infrared searing, kegerator, sink, 2 color custom stamped concrete as well as a Pergola w/ polycarbonite topping for rain protection. Oh yeah, did I mention the kegerator???

Yeah, that's a kegerator.

Concept Outdoor Art

Concept Art delivered for an Outdoor room. Here is a project that includes a grill island w/ a 7 foot long bar.  Two trellis walls for privacy, a potential portable firepit.  The stone bases as well as a granite top. I think we are in the running for this, but the home owners is contemplating some plank wood stamp concrete as the flooring along w/ having to already move a 10X20 waterfall that is currently on the fritz.  Quite a project, but definitely a good concept here.

Concept Art including an outdoor rated television.

Saffire Egg Tilapia recipe:

So last night my wife and I made fresh tilapia out on the Saffire Egg/Grill:

Here was the recipe and the results:

This recipe will take less time to cook than it does to heat up the Saffire Grill/Egg, but it will be worth the effort. Works with ANY white fish probably, we just eat Tilapia in our home.

The History of Stainless Steel.

"Why do I have to replace my stainless steel grates in my grill every few years?"

Well, the advertiser and/or grill my say "Stainless", but the grade of steel also has a dramatic impact on the life of the steel.

304 Stainless Steel is the premium steel that has the properties to last a lifetime.

If you are thinking about a "premium" grill then ask what the grade is. Maybe only a portion of the steel of the grill is made out of the 304 grade?  So inevitably you WILL be buying different parts to your grill within a few years.
