Wanted something for a while. Finally managed to get one built. Rough year for building material costs so it is smaller than I wanted. But they all barely fit. Not pictured here is my Pit Barrel which lives at work and my Gonzey Dome Pizza Oven which is on order and won't be here until August/Sept.

Some more photos

Do you plan to cook in there or do you just use it for storing your equipment?

The Weber gasser is new. Picked it up for $200 on a Lowes scratch and dent. The blackstone has been in storage and needs to be cleaned and re seasoned. As do the two weber kettles. But hopefully now that they are not in the PNW weather I can use them and not have to worry about them getting gross from rain and such.
The lights are solar powered spot lights like you would hang up for a garage or something. Just put the solar panel outside and the lights inside. They are motion activated when I walk in and then are on 30 second timers.
Power for the shed comes from another shed behind it that has a 105 AH AGM battery with a 100W solar panel and inverter. Powers a light in that storage shed and will power the two pellet grills. Below is a photo of the second shed with solar panel. Waiting for the heavy gauge ext. cord to arrive before I run the power between to the two. Should be here today.

I plan to cook in it. It is very rainy and windy and without it I just did not get to use all my toys enough.
I put up the tin to act as sort of a heat baffle. there is no insulation so there is an air gap between the tin and the siding. Also why I left the 1ft gap on the high side for air movement. I am hoping everything will go up and out. I did not put any draft holes in the bottom but if needed I might.

Looks good!
Lots of chatter on the Gozney Dome oven on the PM forum.
Look forward to seeing how you like it.

I've wanted a WF pizza oven for a long time. Almost got a Pizza Party then they pulled out of the states. Then looked at maximus and of course the Ooni's and such. But I wanted a nice one that didn't break the bank but didn't look like a toy. The Gonzey seemed to fit that bill. I did splurge for the gas and wood option. The blackstone is nice because of the turntable but I am looking forward to playing with the gonzey.

That sucked when PizzaParty stopped shipping to the US.
Good oven, had one at my last house.
Had I known about the Maximus, I would have bought it (Looks like a PP clone). instead of spending all the $$$$ I did on the FGM 800B.

That really is a nice space!

Thanks Bent! It used to just be a 10x20 uncovered patio right off the sliding door. But when the rates were so low in early 2020 we refinanced and pulled out some money to have the backyard turned into concrete. We had a slab that's about 25x50 poured. Put the first shed on it last year and then just finished the second shed. Also put up a Costco gazebo with seating for 8 underneath. Really hoping to utilize the outdoor area this year. We bought the place in Dec of '17 and have never really been able to enjoy the outside.

Very Nice!

You moved away from the PNW weather to something that sounds just as wet? I have a cover over my BBQ pit for those rainy days and you talk about gross. Ceiling is in dire need of a power washing come some warm weather. Lots of gunk from DB and Kamado's.

I'm still in Oregon. I just meant with the shed they are now "out of the weather" as it were. Well I hope the ceiling doesn't get too gross. Guess I didn't think too much about that. I was hoping with the opening that the air would keep moving.

I curious to see how the smoke ventilates

Me too. Maybe have to put some small holes in the bottom for draft and or look at solar fan to move air.

that really looks great. I've been thinking of covering my pergola with
12 ft. Galvanized Steel Roof Panel
At $28 each I'd need about 5 of them. Not bad for a roof. Anyway, you might consider doing what you did to the walls to the ceiling.
Also in PNW, so I feel your pain.

That is dedication to the cause. Excellent grouping of cooking equipment now it all has a home. An inspiration for sure.
-
[ Invalid Attachment ] As you can see I have about 12" gap all around the bottom and slats to keep rain and snow out but allow nice cross breeze, but the front is wide open. The amount of "gunk" that floats straight up and attaches to the ceiling is amazing. I'm sure an exhaust fan would help a lot.

I have the same thing happening to the underside of my metal roof of Fort BBQ. I wait for a day that has a misty fog in the air, one that covers everything. The fine mist even covers the underside of the roof..
That is when I get out my microfiber floor mop/duster and swab down the the under side.. The super fine water droplets do an excellent job of penetrating the "roof seasoning" making the job so much easier.
A small price to pay for a cooking shelter.

Well I bow to the wisdom of those who have been there before me. I will see about doing something to avoid this problem. Not sure how soon. There was a finite budget for this project that it already went over. Building materials jumped quite a bit between 2020 and 2021. We just found out our first child is on the way so all extra money is redirected that way. But I think that DK is right and some galvanized panels will be the quick and easy way.

Congrats future Papa !!! :cool:

Another way of looking @ "gunk" is that bestows a nostalgic BBQ atmosphere to the place. Think old BBQ joint (eating establishment).

I second the Congratulations, nothing sweeter!

Thanks guy. Just found out a little bit ago that it’s a baby girl!!

Thanks guy. Just found out a little bit ago that it’s a baby girl!!
Even better if you ask me, I so wanted to have a boy as the 1st.
We are blessed with both, Daughter then son.
My Father told me that there is NOTHING like the love between a Dad and Daughter and boy howdy he was so right.
Again, congratulations Daddy!

Congrats!! Will she be BatBaby or BatGirl :pig:

Congrats on two nice additions!

I think a batgirl. Although when we first found out about the pregnancy I think it was about 6 weeks. And the internet said that at 6 weeks the baby was the size of a poppy seed. I thought that was just adorable so I took to calling the baby Poppy. And it has stuck. My wife already has a named picked out and I’m fine with that but I think for the rest of her life she will be daddy’s little poppy seed.

When I got the new grill, which won't easily fit into my little one-grill shelter, my friends were asking me if I was going to cover the whole BBQ area.
I've decided not to, but while thinking about it, I came across this, which would have been pretty perfect for my purposes.
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/aj0qduhfd5of914/pergola.jpeg?raw=1)
It is a metal pergola, except that the slats at the top can be opened and closed by a small winch mechanism in one of the pillars. When closed, it is rainproof (from above, of course, not the sides), and it has built-in drainage such that any water on it will be guided off it when opening, rather than just dropping through.
But instead of paying £1400 ($2000) for the pergola, I bought a £79 BBQ cover.

I had similar in my last two housed to cover BBQ stuff. Called a Louvered roof here.
Had a little solar panel with a battery and you used a remote control to open/close it.
Smoke from my pizza oven would build up on in (even opened) and all it took was some Windex and paper towels to remove it.
Loved it, but couldn't fit it in to the budget for this house.

kudos man! My father had three sons. I just knew I was going to have sons and carry on the family name. Fate dealt me a different hand. I have two daughters and couldn't imagine anything better.

A problem with that type of design for me was wind. It is terribly windy all the time in my backyard. Not sure why. Even on non windy days I have wind channeling through my yard. I realize that isn't a huge deal with a pellet grill but it did mess with the pizza oven and the flat top. So I wanted something with sides.
I will tell you that you are all stressing me out about buildup on the roof now. Don't know why I didn't think of it. I really thought it would just go up and out. Apparently it just goes up and up.

Well my wife wants to have two. So we will see what happens with the second one. I have two sisters and I believe all female cousins. If I don't produce a boy then I believe the family name ends.

Don't get stressed about it, just build it, wash it out when the weather is warm. It's all good. :cool:

I have a small lean-to open-front shelter on the rear of my garage, slightly bigger than the Traeger it sheltered. No ventilation, other than the gaps in the wood.
It's been there for something like 7 years. The inside of the roof looks *seasoned*, but nothing that detracts from the appearance of the shack.

This looks very nice. You may want to check into a wall mounted exhaust fan for your smoke.
