After several weekends and evenings of toiling my new BBQ setup is finally ready. Just in time for the thunderstorms!

    Looks amazing, and I’m jealous. Question though…when you’re emitting smoke, isn’t that roof going to partially trap it and keep it down where you’re working and breathing? I’ve considered something similar, but part of my plan would be extending the exhaust pipe through the roof or building in some other kind of ventilation.

    I had my smoker under a big tree once and found even that prevented the smoke from dissipating when there wasn’t a strong wind

      I’ve had my setup under a roof like this for ages. In practice there is always enough air movement to carry smoke away.

    Beautiful! I’d love to have a roof over my head to stay out of the sun and rain during those long cooks.

    Oh, that looks great and I’m working on plans for my own outdoor kitchen so this is super helpful!
