Grill - Smoke Station on Porch

[smokeboat]

My wife and I are just starting to plan out a new screened porch. We currently have a covered patio (12' x 14'). We are planning to extend the area to 13' x 30' screened porch. The plan is to keep the keep grill and smoker (vertical gasser) together and make a prep station next to it.

I wanted to see what others have for their grilling - smoking stations. We have been searching the web and most things we find are outdoor kitchens that really don't apply to what we are doing (or budget).

Sorry but I can't help you much.  Mine is pretty basic--just a really big covered deck

Mine is in pieces at the moment because my outdoor kitchen/carport is now our master suite but it was pretty basic anyway.

Once I finish with the master then I'll be building a new 30x40 covered deck (15x15 of it is already there with the hot tub on it) that will house the new outdoor kitchen/hot tub/entertaining area.

All my gear will be lined up against the west wall (only solid wall and only one with easy plumbing access for the sink, rest will be lattice).

I have an old broken chest freezer that I store my wood, utensils for the grill, etc. in since it is watertight and seems to be mostly air tight. I built a wood frame and table top that fits on top of the lid. The table top is stainless steel sheet repurposed from my grandpa's butcher shop and I use it as my prep area.

Next to the prep table/cooler setup I have an industrial pedestal sink (another refit from the butcher shop).

Then the Smoke Hollow 4 in 1 Combo (newest addition replacing my CharGriller 5050, happy birthday to me, thanks honey).

Then my MES 30. 

I'd like to add a fridge into the mix but I'll have to see what the boss, and the budget, says.

Only thing I haven't decided on is where to put the TV, speakers, and satellite hookup.

I had a neighbor who tried to smoke on a screened in porch, somehow the smoke stayed inside the screens, although it wasn't a very big porch I would be afraid of the same happening to me. Was funny watching him try to move a hot smoker off the porch, had to be there I guess

. Maybe you can pipe the smoke out if that happens. Let me know how it works out, would be great to move my station to my screened in porch.
