First, thank you for your service sir! Retired Stockton Police Officer (California) myself. Outstanding backyard! Very inspirational. Keep up the good work and I will definitely have to read your books. Be safe!
@@ChrisGriffithCrimeAuthor Wife wants to know how large your kitchen is. How wide and deep (not including the overhang) is the entire structure? It looks like a seating area next to the kitchen?
@@JamesJarman-h7k The interior of the shack is 11 X 11 feet. There are just a couple of stools on either side to sit while grilling. Not very big, but it has been large enough for its purpose. I was limited in size by the amount of available deck space I had left. Thanks for the comment 🙂

Thanks, Bro. I might do the full tour at some point. When I moved in 3 years ago, there was nothing in the back yard but a plastic shed and chain link fence, so we've been busy. Thank you for the kind words. Chris
Thank you for the kind words. Never really lucky, only blessed. There we days in my early years while working for the county that I couldn't even afford to pay attention, let alone build a grill shack. It's not even because I consider myself a "good guy" in general. I'm nothing but a poor sinner saved by Grace. 🙂
Hey Chris, thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'm in the midst of designing something similar so it's always nice to see what someone else came up with. Have fun and keep on grillin'
Thanks so much Steve. I got many of the ideas from others who were good enough to post theirs. The very best with your project. It'll soon be spring and I know you'll enjoy it 🙂
Hey Chris, we just finished watching your video and not only are you entertaining, you have some really great ideas! Between you and your wife, the outcome of your shack rocks! I love to read, so I can't wait to read your stories. Please do more videos because you are very likeable and funny. BTW, your backyard is gorgeous!
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful comment. It's very much appreciated 🙂 God Bless you and your dear family. I'd like to do more videos and may in the future, but even though I retired 10 years ago I'm still working full time and my wife is also. In this economy it's necessary for the time being.
That’s a fantastic build! Reminds me of the small dive bars on the gulf coast of florida. Relaxing, comfortable and a splash of personal style. Hope you have many years of enjoyment out there.
Thank you for the kind compliment. I didn't realize it at the time, but we love those little dive beach bars. I guess that was in the back of my mind as I worked on the project. Maybe that's why I just like hanging around out there so much. Even in this cold ass weather...I still grill it up. :-)
Thanks John. Excellent suggestion. I figure I'll be making adjustments and improvements as time goes on. That thing kicked my butt that summer with zero help, but I'm rested up now 🙂
Great job my man ! I’m currently putting a swimming pool in my Arizona back yard , as soon as i can im going to do something real close to what you have done..! You know the Blackstone grill ect… i was thinking of converting a 10x16 outdoor shed to something like you have done..i love your Corvette stuff… too. Mine will be 55 CHEVROLET INSTEAD… 😎 I’m glad i found this so i can stay on course , enjoy your creation, and GOD BLESS ! 🏁🇺🇸✝️
@@Naoj2024 Thanks you! You are very kind and I wish you the absolute best with your project. A 10 x 16 will be a great size for your grill area, even larger than mine. If you ask me though, it can't be too big 🙂 The Chevrolet theme will look sharp. My neighbor two doors down is a Classic Chevy guy and has a couple of beauties in his garage. As you said, stay on course and keep at it until it's exactly what you hope for. Mine required months, but I use it minimum 4 times per week. Let me know how it goes. Chris
@@ChrisGriffithCrimeAuthor THANKS , IT WILL BE A WHILE BEFORE ITS DONE . BUT YES I AGREE I DONT WANT IT LOOKING LIKE IM COMPETING WITH THE BIGEST IN TOWN !LOL…. PART OF THE 16’ WILL JUST BE A OPEN CANOPY ROOF SECTION… 🏁🇺🇸 RANDAL
Nisha, Thank you for the positive comment. I'm very glad the video gave you some ideas. Looking at videos here is exactly where I got the inspiration myself. I wish you the best with all your projects! 🙂
Thank you for your law enforcement service! I very much enjoyed your grill shack. I don't have many ideas on that front but a glimpse at your tiling in the backyard did make me curious. I'm too queasy to read crime novels but maybe I know someone who does. Enjoy writing your novels!
Very nice shack. Do like the slatted vents across the top allot. Subscribed and would like to see some action/entertaining around this shack. Your last video was a year ago, please do some more when you get the chance and greetings from across the pond :)
Many Thanks! I'll work on your request. We have SO much pollen this time of year, it leaves a layer of yellow looking dust on everything outside. but, as I had to do last year, I'll be out there cleaning everything up and I'll be happy to do a second video. Just last week I received a shipment of lumber for an arbor on the opposite side of the pavilion which will include adult and kids swing for the grandbabies. When finished in the coming weeks, we'll do another one. Right now I'm back working full-time, so I only have the weekends again. Thanks again and take care over there across the pond. Chris 🙂
Bravo! How's the ventilation w/ the weber when cooking a full batch of chicken or something like that?? I dont' see any vents in the back or up top? i'm getting ready to start a project and this is giving me some great idea's. thank you!
Although the front and sides appear solid, those are 2x2 slats and ventilation has not been a problem. I wish you the very best with your build. They are absolutely worth the trouble :-)
I live in Alaska and would kill to build something like this in my backyard, but unfortunately I would only be able to use it 4 months out of the year before the arctic weather and darkness set in. Great setup!
Great job, I was looking for a backyard kitchen with the same Blackstone grill you have inside, it's funny cuz my wife wants me to make her one around her Blackstone Grill. Got some great ideas from your video, thanks a lot brother ✌🏽
I like this idea. I have the deck and fire pit area. No longer a hot tub, got to old to repair. The grill and blackstone are just sitting out in the open. Definitely have me thinking. 🤔
Thank you, E z. I would like to take credit for the original idea, but can't. Fortunately for me, someone else had done it first on another video. I appreciate the kind comment, sir 🙂
Looks nice. The led strips need a frosted diffuser covering to hide the hot spots and only show a glowing effect. Makes a huge difference in the lighting’s appearance. Also best of luck to you in the coming “invasion” siempre estás papando moscas.
That's great! I got a great combination of good ideas from the many videos I watched and it's good to know we were able to pass a few idea on ourselves. I wish you the best with your project. It's absolutely worth the effort if you like to spend time outside like we do :-)
I own a really nice building in the country😂 im a licensed builder and im getting ready to open a store and resturant. And this store will be replicated.
@@ChrisGriffithCrimeAuthor Not just your BBQ bar, but the entire outdoor space. It's just perfect. I hope to get mine setup as nice one day down here in Florida.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm really not certain where the idea of a grill shack originated, but I've seen similar builds on social media across the US and Europe. Mainly I just wanted a structure to get out of the sun in the summer and out of the rain. I appreciate you posting.
@@209rc7 That's excellent! I'm very pleased it was helpful, even though it was not a step-by-step build video. I know it will give you years of outdoor cooking and hanging-out pleasure. In year 2, I'm still not tired of going out to The Shack at a minimum of 4 nights per week. I wish you the very best! Chris
@@ChrisGriffithCrimeAuthor it was really helpful, I can make it by just looking at it, Even if it’s nit step by step, I really love how it turns out and of course yours is better
I suppose I could close it up, but haven't yet. It has held up very well the past two winters and, being in the south, I continue to use it several days a week year round. We have a pretty bad pollen season that leaves a yellow dusty covering over everything. I have to do a pretty deep clean once per spring, but it stays dry and easy to clean the remainder of the year. Thanks for watching 🙂
I got the kit at Costco. I believe the price for the 12 x 14 was approximately $2,600.00. But an estimate to build one was easily 8 to 9 times higher. I built the kit myself but had to have a few family members help when it came to raising the roof panels.
First, thank you for your service sir! Retired Stockton Police Officer (California) myself. Outstanding backyard! Very inspirational. Keep up the good work and I will definitely have to read your books. Be safe!
