Double Big Green Egg Outdoor Kitchen Plans – DIY Build Plans for Large & XL BGE

Double Big Green Egg Outdoor Kitchen Plans – DIY Build Plans for Large & XL BGE

Build the outdoor kitchen that serious Big Green Egg enthusiasts envision. These professional plans accommodate both Large and XL Big Green Eggs in a single, cohesive 12’8″ structure. Designed for year-round use in a Muskoka chalet and battle-tested through countless cooking sessions, this kitchen configuration delivers both functionality and durability.

Key Features 

Purpose-Built for Ceramic Cookers

Ceramic cookers demand specific clearances, ventilation, and structural support that standard outdoor kitchen plans ignore. This design addresses those requirements directly. Opening dimensions match Big Green Egg specifications exactly, while the surrounding framework distributes weight properly. Counter heights optimize cooking comfort at both egg stations simultaneously.

The 12’8″ overall length provides generous prep space between and beside both cookers. Two cooks operate independently without crowding, while assembled dishes, tools, and ingredients find dedicated surface area. Scale the design slightly larger or compress dimensions without compromising functionality.

Construction Intelligence

Pressure-Treated Framework with Weather-Resistant Finishes

The complete pressure-treated frame resists moisture, insects, and decades of outdoor exposure. The plans specify proper framing layout, connection details, and bracing requirements. While the original featured stone countertops, the design accommodates alternatives including marine plywood with waterproof membrane and wood cladding.

Cabinet interior protection matters critically. The plans detail moisture management strategies including spaced cladding that promotes air circulation and prevents trapped moisture. Water-resistant finishes complement the structural approach, ensuring long-term cabinet integrity.

Design Flexibility

Adapt Materials to Your Style and Budget

Stone countertops deliver traditional elegance and heat resistance. Marine plywood alternatives clad in weatherproof wood create craftsman appeal at lower cost. The structural framework supports either approach, allowing material selections that match existing outdoor spaces or budget requirements.

Interior finish options range from open shelving maximizing airflow to partial enclosures protecting stored items. The framework accommodates both approaches. Stainless steel components, outdoor-rated hardware, and weather-resistant fasteners ensure longevity regardless of surface treatments.

Professional Support

Working Drawings with Free Build Support

These 3D working drawings show framing sequences, connection methods, and dimensional requirements. While not step-by-step instructions, they provide the information contractors and serious DIYers need for accurate construction. Free email support addresses questions throughout your build, from material clarifications to technique guidance.

Project Context & Integration

Properties planning comprehensive outdoor spaces benefit from coordinated design approaches. Professional design services integrate kitchens with decks, patios, and landscape features into cohesive entertaining areas rather than isolated elements.

Many successful deck projects incorporate outdoor kitchens as destination features. The vertical cooking station draws guests naturally, while horizontal deck surfaces provide gathering space. Strategic placement maximizes both functionality and social flow.

Building Code Considerations

Outdoor kitchen construction often requires permits, especially when incorporating gas lines, electrical service, or substantial structures. Professional permit planning ensures code compliance from the start, preventing expensive corrections later.

Broader Renovation Context

Outdoor kitchens frequently accompany larger property improvements. Home addition projects that extend living space often include coordinated outdoor cooking areas, creating seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining zones.

Current building material markets affect project timing and budgeting. Understanding lumber pricing trends helps schedule builds for optimal value.
