Thank you for taking the time to film and explain. Super clear. I was going g to build mine with cinder block but I’m definitely going steel studs and track now.
Thank you so much for both videos! Where did you get the metal framing since you cannot find it at Lowe’s or Home Depot? I want to use very strong metal framing.
This is coming out awesome! I can't wait to see the rest of it. I will be building one soon based on your videos and a few others. Great explanations on everything. Thank you!
I like what you did. As far as permabase. My thought would be that I can use regular wonderboard, hardibacker or durarock and then apply a waterproofing like redgard over it to protect it. If it works on shower units where there is more concentrated water, it can work for an outdoor kitchen. Just another way to accomplish the same thing for weather proofing.
When you attach the cabinet doors, do you screw the perpendicular "mounting rim" to the steel stud? Once I mount my cabinet doors after the concrete board, there is very little room to screw the cabinets in through the existing holes. Just wondering how you attached those. Great job!!
Yo, doing something similar. I live in Cali so the electrical work requires, metal boxes and wire that's surrounded. Good job on the video so far. I'm using led strip lights for the lighting, I am also having a hard time finding the exterior backerboard. It's crazy! Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done
Just watched both videos turned out great. This is what I was looking for, will be starting mine this month. The only question why did you put the 1/2 permarock under the granite is it really needed? Most granite sits on the framing. Just wanting to do it right. Thanks
I did it based on my counter height I wanted, If I did it again I would not put cement board on top. But by the time I though about this too late, as I already had my framing cut and installed with measurements with cement board on top for my finished counter height I was going for.
Looks awesome! Honest question, I just did this and ran the aluminum studs along the ground and simply added taller internal studs to absorb the height difference so that the top rail was level. What made you choose using shims instead of securing to the ground?
It is secured to the ground. Shims to level, since all studs are same length. If I did it again I would cut the studs exactly to length for level with sloped cement so shim would not be needed. Hope that helps.
I asked myself this too, I’m a metal framer and the safest way is to keep the track on the floor and just level the top by cutting the appropriate stud height.
Hey, is that a cast burner blaze? How is it working out? I plan to get a 32" with 4 cast burners from bbq guys. think its 2k$ So I just looked at your link. how is the grill holding up?
Thank you for this super useful vid and for taking the time to show us all the details! I was wondering how the 12'' vertical studs would help with the weight of the grill when I don't see any on the bottom track. Do they prevent the upper track from buckling?
Nice! You have inspired me to do the same. My area has a significant drop off too. So I will have to raise one end a couple of inches. I do not understand how you accounted for this. The framing section shows quite a bit of spacers on the right end. But when you show the backer board on it looks straight. I was expecting to backer board on the right to be straight at the top and angled along the bottom to match the slope of the concrete floor. Same with the stone. Yours looks very straight! Just wondering how you accomplished this as in the video it looks like it is completely level.
Love the video - at the leveling step on my own project. So copying what you did w the black post plastic bottoms. Once you had your framing level did you end up w a gap one end when you ran ledger board? Any advice here?
Not sure what you are asking, but there is no gap once I added the backerboard and stone. See my second video for more visuals here... th-cam.com/video/lE3et7dnEkg/w-d-xo.html
@9:41 it shows cross bracing; @14.15 it seems like this cross bracing is gone (except for the ones on the ends). Do you think it's sturdy without any cross-bracing I like how you have one continuous area underneath but I would be too freaked out and probably overbuild with more cross bracing and extra studs to reinforce
Great work Sir, can you share a link to the undercounted lighting. And also what gauge is the metal framing? I’m building an outdoor kitchen as well Thank you Oscar
Brandon, great video. Do you know if you bought 20 gauge or 20 gauge eq? Doing some shopping for studs now, and all I am finding is 20 gauge eq. It is 18 mil thick instead of 33 mil.
I live in the UK and want to do something similar but I am worried about the weather here making the metal rust. I know its galvanised but every cut and screw exposes the bare metal to the elements. How do you think it would hold up here? It rains a LOT and we get frost and snow in the winters.
4:16 I see the studs where joined the frame with bracket (5:45) and later at 9:22 I see you removed them to fit shelve into it..Did you realize it later or just changed the design?
Yes, used the corner ledgerstone. I did not what the cut edge the corner, wanted a fished look. Do it right and use the corner stones. See the second video for more detail... th-cam.com/video/lE3et7dnEkg/w-d-xo.html
I love it! I use it all the time, and now have had it over a year. The Infrared Searing Burner is awesome for steaks. The rotisserie is amazing. We even cook homemade pizzas on it with the Blaze pizza stone. Best buy ever!. Here is the one I went with...bbqguys.sjv.io/oeqk3n You won't regret it, high quality for sure!
Hey Brandon, is it something that you can build for me? I live in Frisco area and trying to find someone who can do exactly like you did. Not sure if you are open to build for me but just want to check ..
What? You can do anything you put your mind to. Just depends on what you want in life and how motivated you are. There was no welding here, did you see me welding?
Great Video Bud👍most skip all of the needed details Thanks greetings from Arizona.🌵
Glad it was helpful!
Looks great. 25g. Will work as well. May need some extra support but it's not an issue at all
Thank you showing details..I am feeling bit more confident to start this DIY project. Really appreciate your effort in putting things together
Thanks! You can do it!!
Thank you for taking the time to film and explain. Super clear. I was going g to build mine with cinder block but I’m definitely going steel studs and track now.
Thanks glad it helped!!
great work, it looks very professional.
Thank you! Cheers!
That's pretty close to what I will try to build myself soon, thanks for doing the video. Helps a lot!!
Thanks! Glad it helps!
Been worried about you. Good to see you again.
Thanks, still here and kickin’
Right on -- lookin' good! 👏👏👏
Thanks!!
It’s going to look good!
Thanks, I hope so 🤞
waiting for the next video! cheers from Philippines
Thanks for watching. Should have update in next few weeks
Here it is completed! th-cam.com/video/lE3et7dnEkg/w-d-xo.html
Hey Brandon,
My wife and I are constructing an outdoor kitchen as well. Just did Part 3!
Awesome work dude!!!!🤙🏼
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you so much for both videos! Where did you get the metal framing since you cannot find it at Lowe’s or Home Depot? I want to use very strong metal framing.
Thank you for your video, the list of materials is the best... also help me to solve some of same problems you had... I like to see you final product
Thanks. Getting grainy in this week, hope to post update in the next two weeks or less. Stay tuned!
Here is the final product! th-cam.com/video/lE3et7dnEkg/w-d-xo.html
This is coming out awesome! I can't wait to see the rest of it. I will be building one soon based on your videos and a few others. Great explanations on everything. Thank you!
Thanks! Will have an updated vid in a week or two. Waiting on Granite!!
No body shows the cutting process.
Nice job Brandon! I'm starting my fence next week, then deck, pergola then kitchen....Let's Go Brandon! I had to but my son is named Brandon as well.

Interesting ideas. Wonder if anyone has done this? I wanted to build this to last till at least I’m gone.
When you attach the cabinet doors, do you screw the perpendicular "mounting rim" to the steel stud? Once I mount my cabinet doors after the concrete board, there is very little room to screw the cabinets in through the existing holes. Just wondering how you attached those. Great job!!

I used 12/2 UF wire approved for wet/damp locations.
Here it is finished! th-cam.com/video/lE3et7dnEkg/w-d-xo.html
Well done video. I did not see sourcing info on the lights at the top of the backsplash. Could you furnish that, please?
Here is where I purchased the lights... bit.ly/LightingDoctor
Brandon, thank you for providing the information on the lights!
Just watched both videos turned out great. This is what I was looking for, will be starting mine this month. The only question why did you put the 1/2 permarock under the granite is it really needed? Most granite sits on the framing. Just wanting to do it right. Thanks

Great work, Brandon! I always look forward to your videos. You doing some gardening videos this year? I would love more cooking videos too!
Yes, soon
Love the work your doing who makes the stack stone ledger ?
MSI Sedona Gray Leadgerstone bit.ly/LedgerStone

Hey, is that a cast burner blaze?
How is it working out? I plan to get a 32" with 4 cast burners from bbq guys. think its 2k$
So I just looked at your link. how is the grill holding up?
Thank you for this super useful vid and for taking the time to show us all the details! I was wondering how the 12'' vertical studs would help with the weight of the grill when I don't see any on the bottom track. Do they prevent the upper track from buckling?
how far apart is each stud? ....looks great!!!!
12 inches apart. Thanks!
Did the screw heads from the studs give you any trouble when trying to get the backer board tight to the studs?
Did you have any issues with ventilation? My bbq has the heat blowing on the knobs and heating the. To 400 degrees. Any suggestions?
Nice! You have inspired me to do the same. My area has a significant drop off too. So I will have to raise one end a couple of inches. I do not understand how you accounted for this.

Just wondering how you accomplished this as in the video it looks like it is completely level.
👍👍👍
The cross bracing under the front of the grill did cut then bend down the metal piece to secure it to the vertical stud?
Love the video - at the leveling step on my own project. So copying what you did w the black post plastic bottoms. Once you had your framing level did you end up w a gap one end when you ran ledger board? Any advice here?

Do you think it's sturdy without any cross-bracing I like how you have one continuous area underneath but I would be too freaked out and probably overbuild with more cross bracing and extra studs to reinforce
Did u put cement board on the counter top? Or straight granite? TIA
Great work Sir, can you share a link to the undercounted lighting. And also what gauge is the metal framing? I’m building an outdoor kitchen as well
Thank you
Oscar
Lighting can be found here: bit.ly/LightingDoctor Metal Framing I went with is 20 gauge.
Brandon, great video. Do you know if you bought 20 gauge or 20 gauge eq? Doing some shopping for studs now, and all I am finding is 20 gauge eq. It is 18 mil thick instead of 33 mil.
I am not sure, did this a year ago now. sorry.
Did you have to predrill the holes into the cement board for the cement board screws?
Nope
I live in the UK and want to do something similar but I am worried about the weather here making the metal rust. I know its galvanised but every cut and screw exposes the bare metal to the elements. How do you think it would hold up here? It rains a LOT and we get frost and snow in the winters.
Will hold up fine. I'm in Texas hot summer heat, humid lots. We even get hard freezes in the winter, no issues. Go for it You won't regret it!
Hi Brandon is your depth of 30" to the backwall or to the backsplash?
How do you lower the frame and turn it into a drop-down for the grill
4:16 I see the studs where joined the frame with bracket (5:45) and later at 9:22 I see you removed them to fit shelve into it..Did you realize it later or just changed the design?
changed the design some. put another rail underneath to better support the seam.
Your BBQ island looks amazing.
Did you use a premade corner ledger or did you cut the corners yourself?
Yes, used the corner ledgerstone. I did not what the cut edge the corner, wanted a fished look. Do it right and use the corner stones. See the second video for more detail... th-cam.com/video/lE3et7dnEkg/w-d-xo.html
You might need some vents installed. So if there is a leak it doesn't go under your house.
It looks great, I willing to give mines a try now.
Yes I am adding vents. Stay tuned for an update on progress
Disregard saw ur part 2 video thank u
How do you like the blaze grilll?
Thinking of getting one because I don’t want to spend 4 to 6k for a built in grill
I love it! I use it all the time, and now have had it over a year. The Infrared Searing Burner is awesome for steaks. The rotisserie is amazing. We even cook homemade pizzas on it with the Blaze pizza stone. Best buy ever!. Here is the one I went with...bbqguys.sjv.io/oeqk3n You won't regret it, high quality for sure!
What did you use for the bottom of the inside of the cabinets?
Is your grill resting on top of the countertop? Or is the countertop butt up to it?
The grill sits onto of the granite countertop.
You think those metal shims will rust over time? Are they coated with anything?
Don't think so. It have rained almost every day the past month. The interior is completely dry, not water is getting inside.
I had a related question but not about the shims rusting, it was whether the plastic shims would hold up under the weight of the granite counter...
Hey Brandon, is it something that you can build for me? I live in Frisco area and trying to find someone who can do exactly like you did. Not sure if you are open to build for me but just want to check ..
You would be better off hiring someone, you couldn't afford my price. Better yet do it yourself a save big! You can do it!
Were the studs 20 gauge interior galvanized studs?
I’m in Frisco area. Where did you get the 20gauge metal studs?
Hi, did you ever find the studs? I live in Mckinney.
How heavy is your grill?
👍🏼
Where did you get the steel frame from?
See video description. Has list of where I got all items on build.
Where did you buy the metal
All sources of supplies listed in description of the video.
Prob better off not having the bottom plate directly on the ground anyway. Rust.
Those boxes are not outdoor rated tho
Mice
Too hard to build for family that cannot do welding. Looks nice, but average couple can’t build this.
What? You can do anything you put your mind to. Just depends on what you want in life and how motivated you are. There was no welding here, did you see me welding?
Did you have any issues with ventilation? My bbq has the heat blowing on the knobs and heating the. To 400 degrees. Any suggestions?
