Mich, Not sure what you want to do with an open grill but I think you limit yourself to what you will enjoy cooking on it. Burgers and hotdogs- maybe, steak and chicken - maybe not. But I do think that having a small open grill space say 18"x 18" or a little larger would be a great addition to where you could do some sauteeing. Vegetables, shrimp, carmalized onions for your pizza etc. I have cooked some awesome steaks in my WFO. I haven't done chicken but I am sure it would be just as good. I also vote for concrete as your countertop choice. I have built my own for my inside bars and will eventually do my outside counters in concrete. Where are you located in Missouri? I have a friend that does some really nice concrete countertop work if you are interested in contracting that work.Tom

I would like to have a recessed pit with an iron grate above so that I can transfer coals from the oven to the pit for grilling.

I've seen a number of designs that incorporate a gas grill into a counter. Having said that, I was looking for an older, used, as big as I can get, gas grill. My intent is to clean it up, remove all of the gas components, repaint it, line the bottom with 1/2 brick, and replace the grates with new ones. My plan was to build the old BBQ into the counter then use it as the open grill.

Since I've gotten the forno operational, I am rethinking that idea as the forno seems to be able to do everything I wanted to do with an open grill.

Mark,

That's exactly what I am talking about!
At this stage, I am pretty much convinced that I do not need the open grill now that the forno is operational. Saw your steaks a few days ago and will be trying that out soon.

Regards,
Rick
