 Re: Making Progress in Montana
Joe,
My stand is just under 6'. I am planning a 42" oven. I figured as long as I was doing this and I had the room, I might as well go as large as I could. I also know myself well enough that once I get a handle of the fire, I will want to experiment with what I cook, already looking forward to roasting whole turkeys and leg of lamb. I don't doubt I will need the larger space.
As for counter tops, I am leaning toward tile, mostly because I have a lot of experience laying it. I have used it for outdoor installation on other projects. As long as I choose my mastic and mortar carefully, I haven't had any problems. I also plan to seal the counters annually as part of my kitchen maintenance. And I have thought about making counter covers to help keep the snow from wreaking havoc with the grout.
Good luck with you rstand this weekend. Hopefully the weather will hold for both of us.
