The 2006 project: renovating the lanai, resurfacing the pool and building the outdoor kitchen. We went with a subtle stainless steel theme.
Update 2011: We recently added a medium-sized Big Green Egg to our outdoor kitchen. Our grill is still in good working order, we just wanted to occasionally use something other than gas. The BGE uses safer "charcoal" so that you don't get that lighter fluid smell in your food.
