The oven is a Quentisential Oven. I found this on Craigslist up here in Vermont and could'nt pass it up. It is a very simple unit, there is a slide damper on the front of the firebox and that is all the control you get. Trying to keep temp below 300 you will need a smaller fire. But if you want a pizza oven it works great. Wife is doing a shepards pie in it this evening. Do a google on it you will find info. I used a tractor to put in place as it wieghs over 500 lbs so keep that in mind.
I actually use the pellet grill more than the oven unless I need a longer cooking time. and do not use a nice cassarole dish in it as it will come out very black and wifey didn't like that and you will have to beg for forgiveness...
If you have further questions send a private e-mail and I will answer them.

Very nice. Enjoy.
As you can see my computer skills are lacking.
Finally!!! Just moved in on the new deck... I call it the "CookHUT"... the name "CookSHACK" was taken...

Wow!!! That is reall very nice. I like the way you tied your roofs together. Great setup.
Looks like humongous, first class decks are the in-thing in Oklahoma.

That is nice. Looks like I'll have to start me a coffee can. Maybe when Holly see Russ's Set up she let me get some more toys. A guy can hope right? Very nice Nordy.
Great looking deck. Are you trying to get a bigger deck than mine... LOL
Look great. Like the roofing on the deck, we did the same to match our house.

Thanks guys!
Smokin no one can compete with the size of your deck! Initially ours wasn't going to be this big... But it just kept growing...

Nord, is that knotty pine or cedar for your deck boards? Can't tell with the pics.
Pretty much all cedar. The framing isn't of course but the posts are 6x6 rough cedar. Decking is all cedar. The "hut" is framed with that 6x6 cedar... You get the drift.

This thread kinda reminds me of the Bluecollar Comedy skit about deck size.

To funny!! I have a very small deck and I'm not very proud of it. :-)
Oh my I am setting here with tears runnin down my face from laughin so hard. That was awesome and I sure hope Smokin sees this video!!! This will funny so show at the reunion?
Nordy, I hope you don't mind but could you tell me the footprint dimension for just your BBQ Hut?
I've been planning the same kind of idea and yours has spurred me on. I like that there's 3 columns across the back and 2 in front.
Also, are you happy with the size? Does it keep everything dry in the rain? Would you do the same again, or bigger, smaller?
I wonder how far across the front you can go without a column in the middle?

It's framed with 6x6 rough cedar...
Roughly 16 x 8 feet...
I like the size for our deck/area, but if the area would tolerate it better I would go more like 16 x 10-12ish. That size just wouldn't have fit/looked right with my configuration.
The extra 2-4 feet would allow a little more room to put a bar/counter on the "near" side in the picture... It can (and probably will eventually) be done as is, but it'll be a smaller bar and not as "weatherproof" as it would be with the extra space.
As far as size... With reasonable rain everything stays pretty dry... in Oklahoma we usually get pretty good wind with rain, and taht will blow water everywhere. Overall though, I've been pretty surprised at how dry it stays under there.
No idea how far you could go without a column... these beams are really stout, but I'm sure the roof weighs a lot too!

Thanks much for your insight Nordy, I think I'll go with your larger dimension seeing as how the 16' is working for you across the front now, no use tempting fate. A sagging beam would drive me crazy!
I'll be staking this out today, thanks.

All I can say is my wife brags to her friends about the size of her husband deck. Non bigger that we've heard about 
Yup, I'm aware of that video... LOL

Yep. I've got a friend that brags his 20" wheels are bigger than my 18". Something like the Blue Collar analogy.
Here are mine, got rid of my first three: Brinkman, Little Chief, Bradley.
