Nice looking smoker. I want to do the same thing but I live in the Midwest with insane winters. What do you do to protect the smoker and table? Wheel it into the garage?
Hey John, thanks for checking out the build. I’m actually in northern IN, and the station has been holding up without any issues. I keep the smoker covered, and the countertops are still as solid as can be 👍🏽
That’s a great question - but nope, zero problems whatsoever. Smokers generally run between 200-300, 400 on the real high end. Compared to a propane grill that might hit 650 on accident. In either event, concrete is doing great a year later and not so much as a smudge heat mark on the cabinet facing. Thanks for checking out the video!
He didn’t show it, another couple made about an identical grill station a year or so ago but they demonstrated how you can use a flush trim bit to not only get perfect lines when fitting your T-11 siding onto your 2x4 structure, but also flush trim where all the edges meet in all the corners where the ridges are to make it appear perfectly mitred and seamless. It’s a very easy trick that makes your build appear that much more professional and incase you can’t afford a track saw and suck at using a circular saw even with a straight edge, this allows you to trim route a perfect fitted panel so long as you’ve left enough around all edges to trim off. Nice build and I like how it fits this kind of grill
Thanks for sharing! It’s always hard to know how much detail to include in a video, so hopefully your comment is helpful to those looking for more info! Good call on Molly and Dyland’s grill station, I meant to post a link to theirs but forgot haha. I will say, I don’t think they did concrete countertops. If I remember correctly, they opted for butchblock. 👍🏽
Solid question Rick. 2x4s are in great condition, the hardie siding is exterior-rated and protects them perfectly. We’re 1 full year in, and no issues to speak of. Thanks for checking out the video! Don’t miss out of the linked plans ;)👍🏽
Hi Patel, I've had this grill station for over 2 years now, and its holding up just fine. Weather has not been an issue at all. Just be sure to exterior-rated paint and stainless steel doors and you should be fine. The only thing I'd change about this build is maybe using sturdier casters/wheels. They're fine if you only move it a bit around the patio. But we moved houses and mine couldn't handle the transport without buckling haha. Otherwise, this station is holding up like a tank! Thanks for checking out the video, plans are in the description if you want to give this project a try!
Looks awesome! I hope to do something like this in the spring. You've totally inspired me with the Hardie board instead of stone for a little $$$ savings.
I’ve been watching your videos for a little while now and I gotta say, for a small channel you’re videos are so under rated.. as someone who has tried to create a RUclips video of a wood working project yours are so well done man🤙🏼
How has the hardie board held up? You gave me the idea to use it on my outdoor kitchen/ grill station but I want to make sure it will last. Thanks in advance.
Been up for a little over 1 month now, zero issues whatsoever. I’m pretty sure this stuff was initially meant for house and shed siding, so it should hold up long term for sure 👍🏽 I’m also betting an exterior rated paint is helping too
Sick build! You have just inspired me too go out and build one. I will be doing something like this for my grill. Love that you can move it around instead of that old style “ your in the corner grill station “ I like being part of the mix and watching the football games as I grill too 😂😂 and it being portable I can set up where I please! 😅 thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Thanks man! I appreciate you checking out the video! Next spring I’m planning on adding another mobile component. Right now, I’m thinking a separately tower with more lower storage, and built-in ice box/cooler in the top countertop. Should be a really nice addition. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on the upgrade ;) 👍🏽
Bro - you definitely can. I didn’t take any classes, and never had any mentors. Just a stupid amount of YouTubing and (arguably) foolish levels of courage lol. If you wanna give this a go, my plans a linked in the bio 👍🏽
Such a clean build! Do you feel like the inside wooden frame was sufficiently weatherproofed and the paint was enough to seal off the corners? Been thinking of using Hardie board for an outdoor kitchen myself, but I thought I'd need to do more to protect the inside from moisture and stuff.
Thanks man! So the station has been up since Sept of last year, the inside is still rock solid 👍🏽. Just be super to caulk your seams and use an exterior rated paint and you should be good. I have plans for this one if you need a kick start ;)
..oh man, tbh I dont really remember. The most expensive parts were the stainless steel doors (around $160 at the time). I think total all in, it was around
@@JMC8415 awesome, welcome aboard! My follow up project is a separate free-standing unit with the same black/concrete design. But adding a built-in cooler in the concrete top and additional low-profile storage below 👍🏽. Should be a stellar addition
@@michaelallen9239 it’s the brand name of the 4x8 sheet I used. Not the physical material it’s made of. What you’re referring to is used for a substrate for tile or cement.
@@donnygrahambuilds no sir, that would be Durock. Hardie Board is a siding material that looks like what you used but is made primarily of cement fibers. Either way, enjoyed the build! Some nice ideas in there, and I really like that smoker.
@@michaelallen9239 maybe different names for different brands ? 🤔. Appreciate the feedback, I’ll try to give better specifics moving forward and include more links in the bio. Thanks again for checking out the video 👍🏽

You had me hooked at the Miter Saw Station!!!!
Hahah love that!
Excellent. And Please, Never call yourself stupid. You are amazing. God bless you. Very inspiring. Great Job. Enjoy it.
Well that is quite possibly the kindest RUclips comment I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for the kind words of encouragement!
Really nice
@@Darrenb029 thanks man!
I’m so glad I found you! I was walking and then I saw your truck saying Danny graham builds! Definitely deserves a follow
Haha that’s awesome!
Glad the truck decal is paying off!
Hope you enjoy the channel/journey, happy to have ya on board 👍🏽
Everyone needs a neighbor Dave! I’m building this one bro (but modified for my Kamado Joe).
@@rob2112rob dude 100%

Brilliant, Very creative! You inspire me.

Loving our new grill station so far. My favorite part is the concrete countertops!
😉😘
Great Video friend! Any concerns about heat/dispersion with the smoker?

This is sick! Love the concret countertops!
Haha thanks man! It’s been a huge improvement to our backyard space 👌🏽💯
For outdoor use, how long will the 2x4 hold up? Or will the Hardie siding protect the wood from the weather impacts?
Solid question Rick. 2x4s are in great condition, the hardie siding is exterior-rated and protects them perfectly. We’re 1 full year in, and no issues to speak of. Thanks for checking out the video! Don’t miss out of the linked plans ;)👍🏽
This is great. Question, how is all the lumber holding up? Is this good for outdoor? It rains a lot where I live.

How can we alter to fit a RecTeq 1100?
Not familiar with that model grill/smoker. But you'd have to account for several factors (L x W x H to name a few). Thanks for checking out the video!
I like you miter station. Do you have a how to video ?
Thanks David! Actually, that one isn’t my design. That’s from Brad’s channel @fixthisbuildthat 👍🏽
The results are amazingly good so I want to try to make
Thanks! I appreciate you checking out the build! Plans are linked in the bio if you really want to give this a go 👍🏽
Nice job
Thanks !
Sick I wish I were handy enough to make something like this.

Brooooooo! Freakin sick man.
Cranking out the content.
And congrats on another partnership!! You killing it bro. 💪🏼💪🏼
Haha thanks bud! Been feeling fortunate lately! Grateful sponsors are giving my small channel a chance lol!
Thanks for checking out the build m’man!
shldve added drawers on the other side for more storage but other than tht came out nice good job man
Thanks man! Appreciate you checking out the video!
This is awesome!!!
Thanks so much Leah!
super cool
Thanks Ken!
I can't find the link for the cut list?
Hey Karen! The link to the plans is the second link in the video bio. Thanks for checking out the project!
What was the cost?
..oh man, tbh I dont really remember. The most expensive parts were the stainless steel doors (around $160 at the time). I think total all in, it was around
Good video.
The comically large wrench is more accurately named a Crescent Hammer. 😅
Haha learn something new everyday 😅. Thanks for checking out the build!
Next time, do the paste wax before the caulk! The excess caulk will peel up without a chisel.
Smart call. Im adding a second piece to this one in the spring, so super appreciate the feedback!
@@donnygrahambuilds sub'd for more content! I had a similar idea to this BBQ station for my egg

Dude, you should have not glued concrete tops down! Taking it with you just got much harder
@@fireflymary9269 haha you’re not wrong! It was a bear to move, but at least it was on wheels 🤙🏽😅
@@donnygrahambuilds I do like it. Love your sense of humor and honesty! I saved your video!
That’s not hardie board.
It’s called hardie board siding - check your big box stores. Thanks for watching the video 👍🏽
@@donnygrahambuilds hardie board is made of cement, sand and cellulose fibers, not pressed wood.
