Hey Guys,
First post but I have been cooking on a WSM for the past 5 years. This site is what convinced me to buy the smoker years ago. Thank you for all of the great information/recipes/secrets! In fact so far 3 of my friends have purchased the WSM & I know several more that may buy one before long.
Now, for my question. We are going to build an outdoor kitchen. I am thinking about building in the WSM on one end of an island (3' x 7' est.) and I would also like to build in a gas (propane) grill. I don't believe that Weber makes a built-in unit & I'm sold on the Webers. Can the E-310 or E-320 be built-in someway?
I'm planning on using metal studs to frame out the island, concrete backer board for the sides & a thin-set stone veneer on the exterior. I would provide vents to help draw air. My thoughts would to be would be to leave the cart/doors as is & build the cabinet top so that the side burner & controls would rest on the edge of the top (leaving the bottom open to the cavity of the cabinet). Has anyone done something like this or am I completely off base with this? I don't want to take chances with safety but would just really building around 3 sides with clearance and vents. I would probably partition off the WSM so that it would not draw any air from gas grill. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
