New Lay Out for Bad Hat's Pavilion

[Bad Hat BBQ]

So my retirement gift to myself has been planning and executing my BBQ Pavilion...MCS subdued!
2 weeks from the official date!

[Richard Chrz]

Congrats on retirement, and the gift to yourself, looks like a fantastic space to hang out!

[Bad Hat BBQ]

Thank you
Really happy with the results, and it is fun being able to cook out there.

I will mount an elctric patio heater in the fall and will be ready for THanksgiving, even if the wether turns.

[Richard Chrz]

Bad Hat BBQ do you have a patio heater that you are looking at?

[Bad Hat BBQ]

Just starting to look at options.
I want to mount it to the rafters of the pavilion, (1 less thing to move around or trip over...)

Intent would be to take the edge off on really cold days, I do not need it to keep the area at 68!

I scanned a thread that was about a year old...it was worth reviewing.

Congratulations. Retirement is something I recommend to all my friends. The pavilion looks great. Enjoy it.

Great looking pavilion, and welcome to retirement. Funny thing is many of us become so busy after retirement that we don’t know how we ever had time to fit in a job. And, give us details of the pavilion please.

Available at Costco

That is almost a year old , we did not got snow but we did have significant winds...no issues
I added the fan & the lights. Plan to hang an electric heater this fall.

The Only Caveats
~Advertised measurements are the Roof edge (so it is not as big as you think)
~Patio/Slab needs to be level...or it complicates assembly

Congratulations on retirement. I'm coming up on 6 years this summer. Oh, nice pavilion. Can I say I'm jealous and I hate you.

I am no longer fit for employment! That pavilion suits me just fine! You deserve it. Have fun.

Congratulations on retirement and your own little island of smoking paradise! Looks great!

Nice looking layout! Welcome to the "Retired, under new management. See wife for details" club. Now you will have more time to find the answer to the age old question: What should I smoke next?
One thing that perplexes me in my retirement is trying to remember which of the six Saturdays of the week it is today!

[JLR]

Love it!

[RiverJeff]

Congrats on retirement and a great retirement gift.

[Bad Hat BBQ]

Thanks, it all started with a Flat Top and my old Okie Joe.
It took almost 4 years for my HOA to approve the Pavilion and that needed to happen before I was willing to invest in a "Real Off-Set"....everything else is icing on the cake.

Congratulations on retirement. I know that you will get plenty of play out of your setup.

[Bad Hat BBQ]

That is the plan!
