Hibachi Grilling Table

For some time now I have had the idea for and wanted to build an outdoor Hibachi style grilling table. My in-laws were in need of a grill and had the perfect space for it, so I thought this was the ideal opportunity to make one. After contacting Pit Boss, they agreed to send me their new 5-burner griddle which is perfect for this project. Griddles are extremely popular these days and I can see why. You can cook pretty much anything on them and they make for easy clean up. Plus they put off a lot let smoke than a traditional grill. This counter height table holds about 5 people comfortably but if you were in a pinch I’m sure it could fit around 8. For the top we decided on concrete but chose to skim coat it rather than do a full pour which was a bit of an experiment. Overall the project turned out great and is the perfect addition to this back porch.
