Show your BBQ Area

Are you wanting a BBQ area on your front drive??
Intersting.

Most folks have their area to the side or rear of the home for privacy and security.

I kind of like the front porch, especially in the winter!



In the summer, I move to the backyard patio, but I leave the BGE on the porch for rainy days.

Hey Tim, what happened to your new pellet cooker? Did other Tim take that Mak back?

Our drive way is long and behind the house. We come in through the back basement door

Keep the Lang 'round back so that I have this view:

When it floods:


During the winter:



And in about 30 minutes:


However, right now:



Tiny house with almost no closets, but frankly it doesn't suck!

Hey Hance, do you have a smoker on that party barge?

The pontoon is fairly simple and rigged for long runs of the "keep it simple" type. When we go for an all-dayer we just pack the coolers tight with drinks and seems that pimento cheese sandwiches & potato chips rule... Simple...

The 150hp Mercury on the back gets us there n back fairly fast though. Before the tri-toons came out it was the fastest pontoon on the lake... We call her Mammy (from Gone With the Wind) because she's large (25') and comfortable and takes care of us... Then we got the scarlet red Mastercraft, so of course as she's sassy and a pain in the butt, we call her... You guessed it, Scarlet.

It actually does make it tough to have people over when barbecuing because there's the temptation of going out there and losing all focus... Ah well, it's tough. :roll::thumb:

Seriously, in 2005 the now ex-wife said "I think I want a divorce". I asked her a few times to reconsider, she said no, so I looked her in the eye and said "ok, the lake house is mine". That was that. I moved out a few weeks later to the lake. I miss the restaurants of the metro-Atlanta area, but I dont miss Atlanta at all. And we I do think I miss it just a tiny amount I'll sit on the back porch about sunset time with a glass of single malt scotch and relax. That feeling goes away, FAST.

I've threatened a few times to paint a sign for the lake-side that says "This doesn't SUCK"

Here's a little picture of friends having fun in Scarlet and what we do when we're not barbecuing:

Finally, the team inspiration (name; Lake Dogs) and mascot, Hannah:

It goes with me

I have my BBQ set up in the back yard just because my front yard is filled up with a '79 Firebird up on concrete blocks next to a '66 GMC pick up on blocks also. My outside beer refrigerator takes up the rest of the space in the front yard so my UDS and my gasser lives in the back yard with the old hound dog.

Here's my new deck, let me know if you have any questions. posted this in another thread.

Nice set up lots of cooking going in there.

You could go the simple route and buy one of these kits:


Sizes and quality vary with prices of course but you have the openness and cover at the same time. I personally sacraficed parking space on my covered car port.

Still no redneck pics, figured we would really see some good stuff mixed in with these.

Did someone say "RedNeck?"...That's My Cue.....
