No I have not, but as an owner of a pg500, I can tell you that it gets very hot to the touch . I think you would have to have to have some type of insulated buffer on the sides and a roof to protect it from rain.
Mine gets hot also. Just looking at options. Thanks
Building an outdoor kitchen around a PG500 pellet grill can be a fantastic addition to your outdoor space. Start by planning the layout with functionality in mind. Consider incorporating areas for preparation, cooking, and storage, ensuring there is ample room around the PG500. A counter or island can be useful for food prep and placement of other equipment, while seating or a bar area can enhance the social aspect of your outdoor kitchen.
When selecting materials, opt for weather-resistant options to ensure durability and longevity. Stainless steel, stone, and brick are popular choices that can withstand exposure to the elements and heat. Ensure that your kitchen design accommodates the PG500 comfortably and integrates with the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space.
Finally, think about practical features like ventilation, lighting, and electrical needs. Proper ventilation is crucial to handle smoke and heat, so consider installing a hood or exhaust fan. Outdoor lighting will help illuminate your cooking and prep areas, and having outdoor-rated electrical outlets will provide convenience. With thoughtful planning and design, your outdoor kitchen can become a stylish and functional space for entertaining and enjoying delicious meals.
