After nearly completing most of the other higher priority projects (based on the Mrs. Porkalot Priority Scale), it has come time to build the bbq shelter.
Will need to work on better names though...

Smoking Shack?
Pig Palace?
Meat Mansion?

Anyhow...

Started with this

This is the area of interest

The grassy area is where it’s going

Added in 8 tons of crushed limestone and a 38” fire pit.

The left side is where the shelter is going, right side will remain uncovered and will be where the open fire pit cooking happens.
This is also where I will eventually build a Carolina pit

Actual build begins in the morning.

May have a local brethren or two stopping by to help, so I am putting ribs on the Humphreys first thing.

I am building a 16x16 lean-to type structure with open sides and metal corrugated roof (think pergola with a tin roof)

I will share more photos as build happens tomorrow
 
Not to run off topic but I absolutely love your layout. The house,the lot, the outbuildings,etc. I can hardly wait for my daughter to graduate HS because I'm leaving the burbs and looking for some wide open space myself. Love the fire pit idea and looking forward to seeing your cook shack.
 
You are the envy of the brethren this weekend, John. I hope everything goes as planned. With all due respect to all of the great names presented already, I would like to propose "Brethren Bungalow" or " The Diesel Den" in honor of our friend Dave.
 
I hope the build goes smoothly, John.

I know those bones will taste even better as the shelter is complete. :shock:
 
I want to see the progress of the.......(Insert Name Here)!
A couple of pics of the bones would be nice too!
Yes, I do have a bit of Shack Envy right now, but really want the project to go smoothly and finish in style!
I might steal a few ideas :heh:
 
Here are first update photos.

I have the first two posts squared up and temporarily braced.
The temporary brace is the roofline.

It won’t connect directly to garage, but will be very close, the garage roof will overlap the roof of the new structure.
