A Perfect Table For A BBQ At Home

Having a workspace in the backyard for cooking has so many benefits. Built-in storage for cooking utensils and a small compartment underneath for extra wood gives this table so much functionality making it the perfect addition to your backyard.

This cooking table accommodates a large Big Green Egg. This grill table was designed to be easy to build and even more fun to use. It has a ton of storage in the cabinets and a lot of countertop space on each side of the smoker.

This table is built to give you a total of 4 ft. of working space, and grill cabinets to hold the charcoal, grill grates, and all of your accessories. The built size is: 6 feet long x 3 feet deep x 3 feet tall. This table was built out of Baltic birch material with a custom-made concrete top for durability. You can use other materials if you want to save some money, just make sure to seal it or have it under a canopy to extend its life.

Framing the Table

The first step to building your table is constructing the main frame. It is the most important step, as it provides the strength needed for durability and also determines all of the finished dimensions as you build out the table.

Installing the Countertop and Shelving

After the main framing out of plywood is completed, you will want to install the casters on the “feet” of the table and then work on the countertop and horizontal shelving for the bottom shelf and smoker shelf. Notice the casters installed on the table legs. You want to install these after the framing is completed, but before you start installing the countertop.

Install the Doors and Hardware

Finally, we have doors! Soft-closing European hinges make this a functional and fun grill table. Doors are constructed of Baltic birch. I like to use 5/8″ overlay hinges, which I find easy to install.
