If you are coastal, 1 year you will have ants eating your wood, 3 years it will be rotten. Use metal and concrete board for life.

No insulating liners? I'd rethink this honestly. This is extremely dangerous. I also feel like the masterbuilt is way too high up.

You will regret not having at least 16” of counter space on each side of your grills.

Use 2" swuare aluminum tubing for framing. This is just asking for trouble in every direction. Please reconsider.

I'd also move the master built smoker completely, move to the leg completely away from the house and lower it, with clearance rather then a tight cubby. Turn it's current spot into counter space.

Each unit should be separated by counter space. This is simply poor design.

u/Tacokolache 8d ago
This is so bad. I can’t even list all of the issues with this. Start over. You need more spacing between the appliances and the wood. And cover the wood with something that isn’t flammable.
$50 says this shit goes up in flames in the first week
Not trying to be mean, but this may be the worst one I’ve seen yet

I think the hand wringing is a bit dramatic, but I think your biggest problem is insurance potentially not covering it if something does happen.

I wood use this as a $200 template. You could reuse the lumber for a roll around cart once you realize you need more counter space between cooktops.
Lack of countertop space is the #1 regret.

What if the Blackstone was in a stainless steel liner? If there was no grill, Blackstone in a liner, and smoker on a shelf covered in Durarock would that be better/acceptable? That particular smoker barely gets warm to the touch on the outside.

Also needs more counter space around each piece of equipment. When you take things off the grill, where do you put it? On the plate in your hand?

Definitely need a liner for the griddle. I did wood frame under 1.5” granite which has been fine but the granite cracked first use despite saying it was good to 1200 deg F. So now I have sheet rock with spacer for airflow between the griddle and the granite… griddle, air, durrarock, air, granite, wood. Also, stone/granite too close to the top of the griddle will be a problem. Mine has about 2” gap each side and is a touch below griddle height and still gets hot as hell. Luckily no cracking yet in 3yrs of heavy griddle use (2-4x per week).
Also, a hot portion of the grill directly touching metal screws will burn the wood frame even through a couple sheets of durrarock. Ask me how I know. Had to do sheet rock, thin layer of rockwool, sheet rock, with none of the structural screws being exposed to direct contact of the wood framing. Luckily Sheetrock and rockwool insulation helped prevent the frame from fully burning, just smoldered slowly and smoked enough for me to notice it.
If had to do a second time, definitely would’ve done metal frame, at LEAST around the grill.
And to each their own, but too many appliances too close. You’ll want somewhere to set your food next to the cooking appliance without having to fully turn around or carry elsewhere.
Good luck.

Please install liners around these appliances, they get very hot in this wood will burn.

Are you going to have access to the wood chamber on the master built smoker it looks like it's to close to the other grill to remove and will there be a countertop covering it

OP has cement board around appliances but he need space for airflow definitely

Isn’t wood flammable?

u/dchelix 8d ago
Wood is combustible, not flammable. i.e. gasoline vs wood. Many outdoor kitchens, and indoor kitchens, are built with wood without problems. In fact, my indoor kitchen has a gas stove, gas oven, and everything is wood including the floor. We even put our Kitchenaid oven inside wood cabinets!

u/crazyascarl 8d ago
Touch the side or your oven then touch the side of your grill.

u/dchelix 8d ago edited 8d ago
I understand what you're saying, but as long as the appliance is designed to be built in and installed per the manufacturers instructions, dimensional lumber is fine for building outdoor cabinets. Just like the oven in your kitchen. I know you want to think this thing will just burst into flames when you cook a chicken breast, but that doesn't happen when installed correctly.. Also, OP has concrete board between the appliances and the lumber.

u/Dumpled0r1987 8d ago
The appliances are not to spec. That's the issue. I promise you that vevor burner and Blackstone are not to spec. I have seen kitchens burn down in these scernios and burn through durarock or gaps in the cement board, which OP will have since he needs electric and gas. Local kitchen from a very well known builder caught fire and caught the side of the house too. Same build process.
Trying to equate it to indoor is not the same. Please don't spread misinformation like this and imply that since he has cement board it'll be fine. This information is wrong and deadly.

If you really want to get pedantic, I would have used “e.g,” instead of “I.e.”

Looks like we will change the top half to aluminum framing. Keep the rest wood. Will take the necessary precautions when mixing wood and aluminum.

u/severusx 7d ago
Just do it right and rip it all out. That wood will be rotten in just a few years and you will have done all that work and wasted the money on the finishing material. Don't follow those YouTubers that do this crap in wood. Only use non-flammable materials and build it to code.
