I Solved The Biggest Problem With Outdoor Kitchens
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- I built a simple off-grid DIY outdoor kitchen in my backyard. I laid brick veneer over a wood frame with a German schmear and poured a fast 1-hour concrete countertop using the @MichaelBuilds method. I used solar power from @JackeryInc power my smoker from @TraegerGrills and my 12volt refrigerator. Without plumbing, I had to figure out how to get water to and from the sink as well. I had some hiccups building this outdoor kitchen under my pavilion and it took longer than I expected but I love it! It's Haxman's ultimate tiny smoke shack.

I forgot. Since it is a bifacial solar panel. Install a cheap mirror under the panel. You should get more power out of it.
You can probably hit the brick with a wire brush to get some color back
Remember the release spray! Watching to see if you remembered... 😂 (No spoiler...) A fish tape for pulling would have worked better than trying to push 40' of 12/2 through that conduit.
I'll probably get flack for this comment, but the water draining from the sink isn't full of sewer shit, there won't be much volume, & you're not exactly worried about freezing or you'd have buried the water supply line deeper, so you could've just dug a drain line for it & leeched it into the yard to water it a bit... you could've even used the same trench you had dug; it's not as if you're gonna run massive gallons down that sink daily.
Just saying...
@@leahrowe847 It could work if you did a two-part system that collected solids while let liquids through to a small perforated tank in the ground.
You could dig a "dry well" for the gray water from the sink and fill it with pea gravel.
I should have scrolled down before I commented.
I second this. I have seen home laundry run into a dry well for years without any issue which I’m guessing would get much more use
That’s what did on mine: dry well. You just don’t let food goes into that well. Mine has been since 2017 with no problems whatsoever.
@@joseedua My father made a dry well for the washing machine over 60 years ago, as far as I know it is still being used.
That’s where Pea Gravel got its name. In 1702, Mr. I.P. Freeley learned if you put down small pebble sized stone in his gazebo area to Pee behind his smoker that it provided enough perk ratio to drain naturally into his neighbors tomato garden coining the term “P Gravel”
Dude, tie a piece of a plastic bag to a string, then put the plastic bag at one of the ends of the conduit, at the other end of the conduit vacuum out the plastic bag and then pull your cable through with the string. You're welcome.
This one pained me I like haxman for the learning as you go and " I don't cut out my mistakes" . It's more entertaining to me but pushing wire hurts my heart lol 😂. Pull wires bro.. we love you keep being you
This comment couldn't be any more snarky and condescending
@@VS-mt5tz Aw, that's adorable. You must be new to the internet. This comment could have been _way_ more snarky and condescending, cupcake.
...or just use UF cable with no conduit. It's meant for outdoors/direct burial, but it's also UV-resistant if above ground.
Yep. Was coming here to say this lol. You can tell he hasn’t done much wiring because it didn’t take long for me to figure this out running 6 awg through 2” conduit was even still a pain to pull lol.
Glad to see John C. Reilly is staying busy.
OK, i knew i wasn't the only one
Shake and bake 😂
Lmmfao
Lol
Lol never noticed it before.
Now it's all I see
@25:46 - 25:57
It's highly detailed and concise information like this, that keeps me coming back to this channel!
😂 I want to make sure you’re well informed.
I had so many “THATS A GOOD IDEA” moments in this video. The 3D printed mold (I know it sucked to remove but it was a good idea nonetheless), the battery/solar combo to avoid running power, the bucket drain, and the outdoor fridge. This totally changed everything about my outdoor kitchen plans. Great job dude
Thank you!
Hey dude.. next time you're trying to "pull" a wire through a small conduit... Use an air compressor to blow some cotton kite string through it , tie it to the wire,, then you can actually PULL the wire through. 😉 👍
What you're doing is called "feeding" and feeding wire sucks lol
It's like pushin rope!
Poor mams version: suck a string and scarf thru with the shop vac!
I was a tile contractor for 30 years. Next time you do a grout job do a heavy sweat. Get your sponge really wet and wipe from side to side so to leave the area really wet. Get most of the grout off leaving the area really wet looking like the surface is sweating. Leave it to dry then come back and rub the dusty surface with a rag or even more clear water. It should come out even and not so cloudy.
I use a "Stainless Steel Grease Trap" for my outdoor kitchen and let it drain to the ground. I use biodegradeable dish soap as well. I mostly just wash my hands, clean off utensils, and fill watering cans. If I need to pour something down a real drain, i go inside.
It's the little things that make life special, like cleaning out a grease trap after a month of not using your outdoor kitchen. Lol, i have one too. Enzyme cleaner treatment after each use ftw
This video TOTALLY changed my outdoor kitchen plan. Never even considered using a Jackery for the main power source. Looks fantastic!
Buttering and laying: And THAT's where babies come from.
Wifeys fingers got pinched, I feel bad but it happens to everyone. I love the channel and love how she helps you. I have done so many projects alone cause family aren’t interested. I just force them to help. They’ll thank me when they run their own house.
Im sure her fingers aren't the only thing that get pinched 🤌
I started helping my dad with projects around age two. When I married my husband and we bought our first house, my husband thanked my dad, cause I could do dry wall, tile, plumbing and some electrical, also helped welding and rebuilding antique cars.
This is just what I needed! Mini freezer fridge, jackery solar, smoker grill! I'm in a rural area off grid. Not sure how I'll get the funds for it, but at least now I know what I'm aiming for
😅
Another trick for getting that wire through the conduit: Use a shop vac to suck a piece of fishing line through the length of tubing. Use the fising line to pull paracord or small diameter rope through, then use the rope (and some Dawn! great tip there) to pull the wire through. Pulling is way easier than pushing.
You can take part of a plastic grocery bag and tie a string to it then use your shop vac and suck it right thru. Or use compressed air and blow it thru also. Then use the string to pull your wire thru.
Old trick we use in electrical trades. You can use this trick and go thru bends as well when you have long distances of conduit to pull wire rhru.😎😎😎
That’s brilliant. I’ll remember that next time. Thanks!
Fishing wire, pulling wire…. Never heard it called pushing wire….LOL
If you want to take more of that dried mortar off so you can see the brick better you can mix one part muriatic acid to four parts, water, and brush it on with an acid brush and then pressure wash it. Make sure you soak the brick good with clean water before brushing the acid on, and don’t let it stay on there very long or it will turn it a yellowish color
Thanks! I tried everything I knew and couldn’t get it all off.
The gray 12-2 you were trying to get in the sealtite is UF wire which is made for direct burial. No conduit needed. I'm not sure about Florida but it's actually against code to run UF in conduit other than in a short run of riser pipe once it exits the ground to protect it from things like weedeaters and things that can nick it. But you have to strip the exterior gray insulation off of the part that runs in the conduit because the outer jacket of UF is the conduit which is why it's against code to run it in conduit because it's considered a conduit inside a conduit which can let heat build up and degrade the wire insulation and eventually cause a short. It probably won't and if it does it will take a long time unless you are constantly running a heavy load on it.
Well it worked out for the best then. 😄 Thank you!
@@HAXMAN Now you know for next time and you can save some money on conduit. And save on frustration.
Correct as far as gray being direct burial. Although not recommended for jacketed in conduit, I'd check on the UF code thing for UF in conduit. For 30 years I thought romex was not allowed in conduit as well. For weeks I still have not found anything in the NEC. But I would truly be more concerned with jacketed in a buried pipe. Also, removing jacket exposing the wire could be bad as the coated wire is not rated for being outside it's jacket in a conduit. Going back to heat, moisture, etc. As far as using conduit short runs to riser and all, legal and recommended for physical protection.
I was doing a repair job for a customer and an electrician friend and I got to talking about it. He's a master and said he was unaware of the romex in conduit thing. But this was also overhead commercial, not buried. Being only 30 ft and easy, and out of sight, I just removed and put in THHN next size up in PVC conduit to be safe.
Yeah, that's what I wanted to add add well. UF is direct burial
@@RICHat22 I somewhat misspoke. It's considered a raceway in a raceway. I can't remember about romex in conduit being code or not but we used to have a certain inspector that would fail you for romex being piped in in a basement even though it was just a few feet down the wall so we would strip the romex in his jurisdiction. But I think that was just him throwing around his power with the authority of jurisdiction. You can go above and beyond the code but you can't diminish it.
Next time fish a nylon rope through your tube then pull the wire with the nylon rope. Pulling on a wire is waaaaaay easier than pushing on it. Good job!
I definitely will. Thank you!
Tie a tissue on the nylon and shop vac it through the conduit, then tie into your wires.
@@Deadearth00came here to say this. Or blow through with air compressor
@jasonharrington8387 The electricians in this chat are easy to spot today.😆
I rarely had a compressor on a Jobe site.
I facepalmed when he grabbed the extension cord. (Sorry, Haxman)
Hello brother @Haxman from another mother! Keep up the entertaining videos period! Having the family involved is great! Kim seems to be a great camera woman and a great right hand lol. I love the "squatch" references... I'm out here in Arizona... yeah they are real! This outdoor kitchen build was great and right next to the awesome concrete firepit you knocked out!
Thank you Kurt!
You have a lot of great help between Kim and your youngest. I laughed when your daughter suggested an alternative to moving the smoker into the structure. She has what I call “the gift of anticipation”. The best helpers have that gift.
That's absolutely true. I always tell them to learn to anticipate what I'm going to need.
I love how your family helps you. Regardless if your kids like it or not it is going to be a really big plus for them in the future.
Its like youre solving problems i didnt know i had for projects i didnt know i needed. Thanx Hax!
😂
"But we figured out it's faster if she did the buttering and I did the laying"
And that's how Haxman ended up with three kids.
Stumbled upon your channel and watched it cause I'm wanting to build my outdoor kitchen/bbq area. I LOVE how you show all the things that went on and kept it real, cause it is what usually happens to me when building or doing anything for that matter. It came out awesome! I need to see your other videos on how you started it all so I can get ideas for mine. Thank you so much!
@@ernestleal6890 Thank you! Good luck on your kitchen project!
@@HAXMAN thanks, cause I'm gonna need it. We have what we call "The Leal Curse"... something ALWAYS goes wrong without fail and if it goes smoothly, something is DEFINITELY WRONG 🤣🤣🤣
Yes Grey Water is the Term for it when its not Sewer.😊❤
I love this!! What a great addition for your family. And the hacks for electric (go, Jackery!), water oh heck, everything turned out amazing. Hearty congrats for making a dream outdoor kitchen!!
You are an inspiration to do the projects myself, instead of having someone else do them. When you do it yourself, you can customize aspects of the project, and even change directions if a better idea pops into your head. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
Wow! Fantastic setup. I am breaking ground on relocating my outdoor kitchen, and turning the old outdoor kitchen space into a storage shed for all things yard maintenance tool wise including lawnmower to get all that out of the garage, which is transforming to my home office/tinker shop! Whereas I would have never contemplated doing this type stuff; you sir have inspired me to try and to more DIY. Thank you for all you do. Thank you for the ideas, and can do attitude. Amaz’n! Semper Fi!
That's so awesome to hear! Thank you so much. Good luck!
You had the vision and the plan to achieve it…. Everyone seems to have learned to trust in the process and it will all make sense in the end 😅. Love that you got the family involved too. What really resonated was your approach to problem solving/utilising the materials on hand. Excellent content and great result!!
Thank you!
That was fantastic. If I show my wife I know I’ll have to build one.
Thank you! 😄
Hey at least she can butter while you lay haha 😂
Fantastic build. I was hoping to build something similar out in my hunting camp. and now I have the inspiration.
The "conduit" is actually called seal tight or liquid tight, used for many applications where a flexible but protected wire needs to be such as an outdoor A/C unit etc. Can also be buried as well. Next time fish a string line in the seal tight, tie to UF wire, feed while someone pulls, easy peasy.
Perfect timing. We are building an outdoor kitchen, so that I can pressure can outside as well as having cookouts, where first we have to put in a cement flooring, but this gives us clarity on the direction we can go. Thank you for the wonderful insight for a practical project.
Thanks! I’m glad it was useful to you.
This is absolutely stunning! Good pick on the brick veneer, love the cabinet although I’d like to watch it all even though I know the steps lol. It’s all enjoyable Haxman and pure comedic relief to top it off! More builds like this and more shop cabinet storage pls and thank you!
Thank you!
Great video. Awesome build. For future wire pulling events.....use your shopvac to suck a string with a small piece of paper tied to the end, through that weather tite conduit then use the string to pull the wire. You still might need some lube to pull the wire but this way is much easier than trying to push the wire through.
FREAKING YES! Haven’t even started the video yet, already excited. I cannot waaaait to get through physical therapy, get some land, and start building things!
Absolutely brilliant video, and it was great to watch you make mistakes, and get around them, great work, thank you
I've been holding off watching this cause I'm right in the middle of trying to decide on a cooking deck build and I knew you were going to complicate my plans... Now I can say mission accomplished. Now I have to rethink my build, Damn you and your ambition Adam.
😂 Good luck on the build Jacob!
Love that your wife is strong enough to help you lift stuff like that. Must be so handy.
It’s very handy. 😄
Love your content.... I really wanna say thank you for using a drill not an impact for things. There's nothing that drives me crazier then using the wrong tools and others emulating ...
If you didn't already, double check your fridge and maybe the Jackery. Make sure that the 12VDC is actually more efficient. Depending on how the voltage is used internally on the fridge, inverting or converting, it could be more efficient on 120VAC. As for gray water, make sure if you gravel the hole you screen properly. I did a 3x3x3 gravel hole just for sink water at my outside shop without anything else and it slowed down within a year.
Oh, and I started turning my 20x20 carport into a never-ending outdoor kitchen project last Fall. Complete with natural gas commercial range/griddle/eyes, egg, gas griddle/grill, charcoal grill, and electric smoker to try out. Good times.
You'll appreciate a larger overhang on the roof because afternoon showers will limit cooing/serving/drinking time. I lve in FL too and built an outdoor kitchen. Rain blows in on the countertops. Larger overhand should be next, not just gutters. Seal up the countertop too.
I love doing projects around the house for my family but, I was a real butt when I was in the middle of the project. Thank you for teaching me to have fun during the process of figuring it out.
By the way, those ungovernable shirts are so comfortable.
What’s funny is I’m extremely impatient. Working with my family is the only time I’m patient.
I’m so glad! Thanks for your support Chris!
I love that you got kiddo involved ! The whole family has their part. Thanks for this style of content, it's fun and I can see how you figure stuff out. That Jackery looks super easy to use and I should consider something like this myself.
You can do a sand/rock filter on that bucket.put a piece of screen on top and it’ll filter out the chunky stuff … the sand/rock should dump clean(er) water out
Man, this is the coolest. I have run my Traeger on my Jackery 240. Gonna go mobile with it one of these days.
Mate that was an awesome build. I love the idea of making a concrete worktop as you customise it and the look is great. Respect from the UK
I might be wrong, but outside I would want a bigger sink for washing grills and equipment. (Right now I am using a deep laundry sink outside so I am not splattering all over the inside kitchen)! I have yet to get my outdoor kitchen done yet, although we did create plumbing already.
I must admit, when you built the slab, and what you were planning to do with it, i thought it was going to be to small. But, I stand corrected!! It looks MARVELOUS! NOW WHEN'S THE COOK OUT, POOL PARTY, FIRE RING NIGHT!! I live so close it wouldn't be a problem!!!
Thank you! 😁
I like watching you guys work. It gives me a smile everytime. God bless.
Thank you so much!
Always enjoyable. Of course you know that means Kim expects you to do more prep and cooking for the family meals, as she relaxes. LOL!
Thanks Gord!
Use a ShopVac and some cord/rope/heavy string to pull the wire. Put the vac on one end and use it to pull the cord through. Then attach the wire to the cord (duct tape usually works). Now just pull the cord out, the wire comes with it.
You simply amaze me! When you do build the tiny house, I know someone who is interested in buying it😉
I know someone interested in living it. 😂
This one pained me I like haxman for the learning as you go and " I don't cut out my mistakes" . It's more entertaining to me but pushing wire hurts my heart lol 😂. Pull wires bro.. we love you keep being you
I learned the hard way. Plain 2X4s will rot if directly in contact with concrete. Contractor built porch supports from 2x4 and the ends rotted away.
Luv your sliding shelves! Ingenious solution!! Luv Love luv. Thanks for that idea!
Others have already commented about pushing wires (yeah, painful to watch). But honestly, I thought you were going to take that direct burial-rated Romex you had and... oh, I don't know, bury it! That would have required only pushing about 10 feet of that cable through about 3 feet of flex. I thought the conduit was just to get it inside the cabinet safely.
But let's not count how many mistakes I will make!
Love your videos! Where've you been all this time so that I'm just now finding them! I have my own gazebo and kitchen I want to build, and I'm getting so many great ideas from your work. And even the mistakes. What counts is that your end product is amazing. Nice work. I hope mine turns out even close to what you have here.
Hello friend, I just wanted to thank you for the time you dedicate to your videos. You have left the garage 💯, and you have given me ideas for mine. I just wanted to tell you that I see you from España-Torrevieja, good job🎉🎉
For running wire through conduit connect string to a piece of a plastic bag then stick the plastic bag which is tied to the string in one side of the conduit. Next get out your wet dry vacuum and suck the bag/string through the conduit. It only takes a few seconds so don't suck an extra hundred foot of string through the conduit, ask me how I know. Next just tie/tape the wire to the string and pull it on through. The soap also can be used as well to make it a bit easier.
Great job guys. I really like getting the family involved!!
Thank you!! Me too. 😄
If you ever get interested in a video idea. I got a track saw about a year ago. I'm an ignorant fella, so I didn't realize what I did was stupid until it happened. But I tried cutting both along the saw and *backwards*, the blade caught the track and actually flew at my torso. Luckily I was wearing a thick leather apron, but yeah. Learned a valuable lesson that either I'm really crap and holding something straight or the saw is only safe in a pushing motion.
Regardless, your advice before on getting a track saw has been clutch. I really like it when I'm using it wisely and not nearly winning a Darwin award.
Holy smokes! I’m glad you weren’t hurt.
i plan on draining my sink into a dry well that i will put in the yard near the patio
Great Job!! The brick veneers look awesome!
@@pamelajackson495Thank you!
Man you are great. You leave in the parts where normal people mess up. Love your channel. Keep it up. Love watching with my kids and show them that kids can help their dad do projects.
Side note. I reused some old side rails from my son’s bunk bed twin that I made for a queen. Got it all nicely matched and put together. I put the box spring down and it didn’t quite go down. 6in short. What did she say!! . Oops so worried about width forgot the length of the side rails were different for the queen. So now nicer newer side rails.
@@kramerjmk Thank you! I love hearing that people watch with their kids!
If I don’t have to go back and redo something I’m shocked. 😄
Yes. We want to see you build a tiny house! 👍😊
I have the trailer, windows, and roofing. I just haven't had the time. I think I'll start it when the temperature drops. Thanks!
@@HAXMANYes!! Definitely can't wait to see your tiny house build! Thank you, Kim, and the rest of the crew so much for keeping things inspiring, easy to understand and follow, and down to earth! Y'all are all heroes in my book.
@@HAXMAN I want to build a small house out of natural materials mostly. Yes I plan on using the clay I can scavenge from under the layer of soil amongst other things
I have minimal to no building skills but I enjoy your videos. Makes me want to learn more and more.
Thank you!
@@HAXMAN if you ever decide to open a “HAXMAN school for people who can’t build good “ let me know and I’ll be there lol.
I love it! My wife wants one, come on over anytime hahaha
Dude you’re so funny good thing you know what you’re doing.
17:14 A real easy trick for running cable through conduit is get some string and a disposable plastic shopping bag like what you get at the grocery store. Tie the string to the bag and shape and cut the bag to fit in the conduit without too much resistance. Then just attach a vacuum cleaner to the other end of the conduit and suck the bag through which will pull the string. Bobs your uncle, you can then pull the wiring with the string instead of trying to push it.
28:34 I was quite jealous when the ending was shown until I realized the distance from the top of the bar to the gazebo frame will only allow midget bar top dancers due to height restrictions.
equal opportunity employer approves this message
Couple ideas! Melt the 3d print out. Use a pull string instead of pushing wire into sheathing. Use a sandblasting media or wire wheel to clean off grout! Really enjoy your videos new sub!
Great pour on the countertop… the crowning glory to a great project. The grouting got a bit sketchy 😵💫😵💫😵💫 but you got there in the end!
I just came across your channel, and I just want to say thank you. I can now build up the courage to build my own outdoor kitchen. ❤ your channel.
@@denesefrazier8441 Thank you so much! Good luck!
michaelbuilds gets a shoutout! I want to try this countertop for an outdoor kitchen for whenever I get a house.
Use compressed air to blow string through the conduit, then tape it to the wire you want to pull through.
O.J. sighting at 8:04! Go O.J. go!
Happy wife, tired Haxman. Very nice setup. Outdoor living looks good.
Thank you! To be fair Kim does a lot on projects off camera too. 😉
✌️😜 HAXMAN humor,& mayhem will ensue 🤣 But the finished product is always awesome, with all the real-world hiccups along the way 😁👍 Thanks for the needed laughs as usual Brother 💒⚔️ God Bless us All 🇺🇸🙏✝️
Thank you!
Beautiful JOB on creating your outdoor kitchen. Love the color of the brick even if it was an "OOP'S" lolol.
I foresee many parties happening out there. Probably ought to give thought to trash receptacles at least in the area. Meat packaging and the sort can pile up quick, meanwhile I'm guessing veggie prep "waste" will go to the chickens. Such great content and fun to watch too.
I just have one or two more projects to finish this area and I’ll be glad to be done. 😂 Thank you!
17:22 Talc powder is what we used running cables in hospital telemetry systems.
Just a heads up, your not suppose to put romex through seal tight or conduit. Use thhn/thhwn.
Lol pushing that wire through , the old plastic bag, string and vacuum is what's used in telecom . Look it up for next time and then tape it and pull it
Now you just need to install a light up above. Nice
And a fan. 😅 Thanks!
58 seconds in, but I am certain this will be another absolute work of art
I appreciate that brother!
Tiny house? YES!❤
Someone get this man his own TV Show! Excellent build as usual!
Thanks Roy!
A fish tape would be best to get wire into flex tube like that.
Sweet OJ Bronco!
HAXMAN - you are amazing! Now can you work on solving world peace!!
I love the German Shmear ❤
P.S. - consider keeping that sink drain plugged when not in use… otherwise you’ll get water damage from overflow like I did!
Now this is what I’ve been waiting for a new Haxman Video while sitting in my Wooly Booger T shirt
😄 That’s why you rock!
That 'new' workshop in the back looks great, but you should have went with Orange, not because of HD but to support the Dutch. We are such a small country....
Just a hindsight thought about wet setting brackets in the bottom of the counter top maybe an idea
For the conduit just tie a plastic bag to a string longer than the conduit and put a vacuum at the other end then use the string to pull the wire through
Dude, do a full review on that Traeger!
This makes me realize my husband isn't going to ever do this, for me. lol 😂😅 Y'all are the best. ❤
😄
Nice musical sound effects😊
Next time use some twine or thin rope and place a shop vac on the other end and close your hand around the end with the vacuum hose to create a seal and it will suck the string through . Then it is as simple as tying the string to your 12/2 cable and pulling it through.
I was wondering when Sasquatch was making a cameo. I really like that Jackery.
Only thing left is some LED lighting. Maybe some remote-controlled rope lighting.
