One of the many reasons I live in SoCal is that I can bbq pretty much year round. So I finally completed my BBQ project - did all the work myself except for pouring the concrete top and installing the palapa. I have low voltage lighting under the counter and above lighting the inside of the palapa. Tabs will sneer at the cheapo $1200 BBQ Galore but it looks great and I've already cooked for 20 kids and 14 adults no problemo. If I could do it again I would skip the built in refer and go for a big concrete sink for ice/drinks.
