would it be possible to make concrete counter tops with the method you used but with a thicker layer of concrete? i really like the counter tops that modern modustrial has in his new house but he paid 10k for them with most of the cost being due to labor but i feel like the price could be cut down to 2k and below with a modified version of what you made.
Only thing is, this is not a hibachi grill... it's a teppanyaki grill (flat top). Hibachi grills (aka konro grills or open top grills) are used to make yakitori(japanese skewers) and traditionally are fueled by binchotan charcoal (there are some gas hibachi grills, but that just beats their whole purpose). For the rest this looks pretty solid!
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
The Google/TH-cam algorithm is a very curious thing. I have been thinking about doing something like this in the past week. However I didn’t say a word to anyone about it. It only existed in my mind and I had not even began a search for materials. I feel like they are literally reading my mind! Anyway what a fantastic build! Thanks for all the inspiration!
I’m so thankful you posted this. We are building our house right now and I’ve been looking into griddle options like crazy for my outdoor kitchen. I’ve been struggling with placement and island design, but this video gave me some resolution. I will be buying this plan. Thanks again!
Cracks me up how avout 4 years ago everyone (DIY/Woodworker TH-camrs) seemed to move....this year everyone is doing outdoor kitchens! Nice stuff! We love our PitBoss griddle, meanest Philly Cheese steak this side of Philly off ours!👏
Just got the same pitboss 5 burner 37inch griddle from their website delivered yesterday! I was think where to leave this bad boy. Now i have to build this !!!
Haven't even watched this yet and I know it's going to be 🔥🔥. Love watching your content. I've said this before but you're a big inspiration to things I've done and want to do
Love this bar! Curious since I’m literally in the process of building this same thing just with a blackstone griddle, how has the concrete held up so far? Also any issues with heat? Thanks man!
Thank you for the video, this what I’ve been looking for is that concrete top. I don’t want to put a lot of weight of concrete on my frames. After you finished with the concrete how thick that be? And where can I find those kind of concrete that you used on your project ? Thanks and you just earned another subscriber 👍
I would be interested to see how that skim coated counter holds up over time. Cracks could result in failure of the skim coat especially as it is outdoors and subjected to various weather conditions and temperature swings daily.
I too am curious about the durability. I'd love to make a bar like this for my griddle and the idea of a skimcoat vs a solid concrete counter is very intriguing.
@@bradweaver6124 The truth is that just doing atleast a 2in thick reinforced slab over what they did is not overly cost prohibitive compared to the skim coat and in my opinion will give a more durable and sturdy look and feel. I imagine it sounds sort of hollow and not as stiff as a slab. I also would imagine the first time someone drops something heavy on this it will crack or at least chip. The corners/edges are the biggest point of weakness I would be concerned about, as this skim coat was not designed for applications quite like that exposed corner at the bottom.
I bought your plans before watching the video and just realized this is for only side drain flattops. I have a blackstone with a rear grease trap. Would you be able to make a modified version of this plan to accommodate that type of grill...The depth would need to be deeper so the grease trap was still inside the compartment and not sticking out the back where people are sitting.
Looks awesome. I am preparing to make a concrete countertop like this for our entertainment center. Would you recommend your method of using concrete board & quick set or using a product like Leggari concrete overlay?
I can tell you just cause I’m making the same exact thing just with a blackstone griddle, once this this is done an built, I doubt you will be moving it too much. All I have left to do is throw the concrete sealer and my doors for the front and it’ll be finished. It’s a tank!
I hate you because I just found the next project I NEED to do! I did a pretty cool grill set up a couple years ago but I just got the same Pit Boss griddle and I like how this would work for me instead.
I’m planning an outdoor kitchen for this summer and I would love to use this style countertop on the island. Do you think it will stand up to the elements as well as a poured slab?
So... how is that Teppanyaki Grill working for you? My "concern(s)" were that there is no airflow into that area of the table to support burning and that you seemed to cut the legs so that no air flowed up into the burners. The result is that the flat top would have to intake air from above, thru holes intended to prevent the pressure from building below the flat top.
I love this grill setup! It would be something to build for my son-in-law. Father's Day gift! May I ask where you found those great stools! I really need to build a high-top table for an area in my back yard. Those stools would be great! Thanks for sharing! Blessings.
+1. I want to build a kitchen on a wood deck in the PNW so weight and moisture resistance are my top concerns. I’m really interested in the countertops!
Looks like the top if the folding wing style, when they aren't on there I assume you just take them off and set the aside? Doesn't look like they'd folding onto the countertop. Also, not sure where you live but are you at all concerned about snow/rain/humidity getting to the cast iron top since it can't be covered by a weatherproof cover?
Looks great. I've contemplated what to use for a countertop outdoors that was easy and DIY. I do wonder if due to the thickness of the coating it will hold up well in places it freezes.
You're obviously a good woodworker and it's very nice. I don't want to be a troll, but these are typically either built out of CMU or framed out of metal because wood is combustible. I hope it works out for you.
Looks great, and very creative use of existing griddle. However, I am currently building an outdoor kitchen, and every built in grill/griddle manuel requires a insulated jacket if they are installed in a base made of combustable materials. I'm afraid this would be a fire hazard and would definately not pass a building code inspection.
Just so you know-- personal experience has shown kreg screws have abysmal shear and load strength. There's a simple test: build an outdoor bench with them.
@@lrac_1 technically they're owned by the same parent company, along with like 15 other brands, lol. I don't have any beef with anything except black&decker. Even harbor freight is fine if you have the correct expectations.
@@vincentking8267 yea I heard that, Hart also under the (they had a good extractor on sale recently)…I feel you on black decker, heck I do have a Bauer compact saw I needed in the fly…works great

This by far the the best griddle surround I have seen yet, very nicely done. I want it lol

Such a craftsman would not come to my house!
Man that’s badass. You have a new subscriber now. I have a project for my camp chef griddle now.
Bro this build is sick man 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥 thanks for sharing it to the world man. Great idea for my back yard!!!!
Very cool! I wish I was handy like this to do something like that.
Damn… that came out awesome man. Great job.

How is the concrete countertop?
Great idea...I think I will build one for our home!!
How has the counter top held up? Looking into doing this
Sweet working setup. Can’t wait to see entire video.
This is so kool and looks kind of simple to do
Seems so much easier and faster than using concrete blocks or stucco for a base

@@The.Ch0senJuan Kind of what I was thinking regarding chipping. I'll just stick with a full pour.
I’m going back and forth. If u crack it, just resurface it again. I mean a 2” pour will mostly likely end up with a crack in the outdoor elements
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!

Would you be able to make a modified version of this plan to accommodate that type of grill...The depth would need to be deeper so the grease trap was still inside the compartment and not sticking out the back where people are sitting.
It will work for both. You just need to cut the hole in the back and place the drip tray below on the inside of the wall siding.
Looks awesome. I am preparing to make a concrete countertop like this for our entertainment center. Would you recommend your method of using concrete board & quick set or using a product like Leggari concrete overlay?
Love the idea of the countertop. Adding Flow control to the quickset would have given more time to work it.
Came out beautiful, virtually flawless... Do a Korean BBQ version
What kind of weight does the coat of concrete add? Would love to build this but we are moving later this year and I'm not leaving it if I do! 😎
I can tell you just cause I’m making the same exact thing just with a blackstone griddle, once this this is done an built, I doubt you will be moving it too much. All I have left to do is throw the concrete sealer and my doors for the front and it’ll be finished. It’s a tank!
Looks amazing!
I wish I had the talent, I mean the tools, I mean the talent and the tools!
Since you’re using a griddle that wasn’t meant to be built in, have you had any issues with heat and/or ventilation?
Nice job brother, looks real clean and professional!! 👍
I really love the video. I’m trying to find the quickset recoat concrete, but I can’t seem to find it.
How is the skim coat holding up?

So much better than a rolling cart.
Looks nice!
Nice work dude
Thanks for sharing! We’ve learned from you, and we will surely share this with our customers. Awesome! ✨
This is incredible!!
I love this grill setup! It would be something to build for my son-in-law. Father's Day gift! May I ask where you found those great stools! I really need to build a high-top table for an area in my back yard. Those stools would be great! Thanks for sharing! Blessings.
He says in the video that they got them at Home Depot.
Real nice job Mr
How has the counter top held up since the build???
Great! A little staining from grease platter but that’s it
Awesome work
Excelente trabajo saludos desde chile (excellent Work greetings from chile)
Can this be assembled off a deck and then moved?
Incredible I’d love this as a kitchen island, would it be easy to incorporate more storage? New sub here
Really interested in that bar top. Looks fantastic - is it holding up for you?
Don't you just love when they don't even bother looking over the comments to answer anyone's questions?
Love it. Really nice work.
That’s awesome I love it thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
What about the heat that the griddle produces around it?
Man you did that! 🔥🔥🔥
Great design
Hi would this plan work for the black stone 36” griddle? If not where can I purchase the plan for that
any channel that offers plans deserves a subscribe, here`s mine.
how has it held up?
any issues?
I’m interested in the build. Maybe you can give an update, any cracks?
+1. I want to build a kitchen on a wood deck in the PNW so weight and moisture resistance are my top concerns. I’m really interested in the countertops!
This is such a cool project!
How much do you think the entire thing weighed?
Looks awesome. Any chance you can link the barstools?
Nice! Love this video!
Thanks!
I like how you work. 👌🏾
Hey, this looks amazing. How much does it take to build these and the cost of all materials?
I think I spent around $500 on materials. That doesn't include the griddle and stools.
A tip from my past mistakes, use stainless steel brad nails. And blue Krieg nails
Yup, we used galvanized. SS brads are hard to find.
LMAO
I love it; great job!
Very Nice Job 👍

Yes I just unbolted it so it just lifts off
That’s fantastic good job 👍
What's the color of the stain
Love it nice job
Did you anchor the framing into the floor or is it just on there?
Thats so awesome.
This is amazing 🤩
What was the total cost of materials
Subscribed!!
Looks great. I've contemplated what to use for a countertop outdoors that was easy and DIY. I do wonder if due to the thickness of the coating it will hold up well in places it freezes.
Thanks! That product is meant to re-cap old concrete patios and driveways so I suspect it will work out well.
Seems like a great and easy solution. Looks like this one is fully under cover so that should help too.
Awesome!!!
How long before it cracks
Take a shot every time he says “however”
🔥🔥🔥
what nailer is that from royobi
It's their 18g brad nailer
How has the concrete coating held up since you built this?
concrete top looks awesome but it so thin it'll probably crack easy 😬
Great looking griddle island. I'd go with a better griddle than this Pit Boss as it's a relatively cheap model but I'm sure it will get the job done.
Also it's not a hibachi grill... it's a flat top or teppanyaki at best...
that fucking sick. im def making one this summer.
You're obviously a good woodworker and it's very nice. I don't want to be a troll, but these are typically either built out of CMU or framed out of metal because wood is combustible. I hope it works out for you.
Nice!
Sweet safety glasses
A LITTLE TOO LARGE FOR A HIBACHI, BUT THAT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT BUILT.
Can you make a Sushi Bar?
Looks great, and very creative use of existing griddle. However, I am currently building an outdoor kitchen, and every built in grill/griddle manuel requires a insulated jacket if they are installed in a base made of combustable materials. I'm afraid this would be a fire hazard and would definately not pass a building code inspection.
Just so you know-- personal experience has shown kreg screws have abysmal
shear and load strength. There's a simple test: build an outdoor bench with them.
Come on kids, lets watch Dad cook again..
Would you be interested in selling this one or a similar build?
Looks great, it's more of a teppanyaki grill than hibachi. But who cares?
He did all this with some ryobi tools 🤣…i actually like their nailers
