- Out at the farm, we wanted a way to enjoy a meal outdoors, so we made a picnic table with built in grills! Using fire bricks, grill parts, and pressure treated lumber, we made a simple, yet sturdy way to enjoy the outdoors.

Out at our new farm, we don't have a lot of seating or a grill of any kind, so in this project we're making a picnic table with two grills built in! This project involves gas and fire, so if you make one, do it at your own risk.
The overall concept that that I wanted to have two separate grill surfaces that could cook hotdogs, vegetable kabobs, or marshmallows in the center of a wooden picnic table. With Josh's help, we worked backward from the key element, the fire. Wanting instant fire, I went with a propane burner design. Because of the compact nature of this concept, I didn't want to use a large 20 lb. propane tank to power the grills. We found some replacement grill burners, gas lines with nozzles made for camping stoves, and some adapter fittings to fit common 1 lb. camping fuel bottles. This deconstructed arrangement mirrors the basic setup for most larger grills, and it worked great when paired with a simple push-button ignitor.
Because fire on a picnic table would lead to a burned up picnic table, we had to find a way to contain the heat from the rest of the table. Having recently finished my home-made forge, I used some of the left over fire bricks to enclose the two separate burner setups. In order for the gas nozzle to feed the burners, I had to cut a channel in the end cap fire bricks with a masonry cutoff wheel on my angle grinder. These fire boxes were designed using the size of the burner and the size of a replacement grill grate as a starting point. Once Josh tested the grill setup and verified that all of our replacement parts would work as expected, we began designing the picnic table around those two self-contained grills.
Using the cut list Josh generated from our 3d model, I began cutting the pressure treated lumber down to the specific sizes. Because we don't have a miter saw station out at the farm, I cut all of these pieces on the floor. First, we assembled the benches by laying down the bench tops and building the leg assemblies up from there. If you would like specifics on how we assembled the table elements, check out digital plans we have available for download.
We repeated the steps for the bench again to make the second one and then started on the picnic table. Again, we built the table upside down because it is very heavy and awkward, so be prepared to flip it over when completed. The 2x8 top slats were butt together, making sure to space the center pieces to fit the burner boxes. Next we screwed down the horizontal braces that secured the top together. The braces on the ends had a 3/4" dado cut into them so that the gas lines Josh got could fit into the cavities for the burner boxes. The legs assemblies, although bigger, went together in the same was as the benches. Josh helped me flip the giant table over and it was ready for the grills.
Because we had tested the burner arrangements prior to beginning the table, I was really simple to lay in the fire bricks, feed the gas line through the slot and hook up the burner. We hard mounted the ignitor button and made a platform for the propane bottles under the table. After testing the ignition of both burners, we added some heat deflectors like you'd find in a typical grill. These didn't work as well as we'd hoped, so we removed them entirely. The replacement grill surfaces we purchased sat on top of the fire brick box perfectly and the table was ready for lunch.
After moving the table out to of the barn and into the field, we got lunch ready. The grills are the perfect size for hotdogs, kabobs, and marshmallows. I'm really happy with how it turned out and look forward to the memories we get to make outside cooking and enjoying the farm together.

So cool!! When is your restaurant called "We Like to Cook Stuff" opening up?
waiting for supurrvisor approval.
It’s actually “I like to bake stuff”! Aka ILTBS
haha
9:21 The sound effect from "Bob from the Future here" excellently played.
Back to the future is awesome
That's a great addition to a picnic table.
The "Back to the Future" intermission was savage XD thank you for showing once again your lovely nerd attitude toward improving your knowledge :D
Bob: needs help carrying a bench
Josh: effortlessly carries bench over a shoulder
he is just doing some crossfit while at work
I'm an old man.
I really enjoy Josh being more prevalent in these videos
The integrated grills are an awesome idea. Might build something similar next spring.
As always great video, thank you guys👍
You're welcome, I hope to see what you come up with!
That picnic grill table is awesome Bob! Building it on the ground and no workbench, with minimal tools. Thank you again for sharing your videos. I’m a retired military member with thirty years and have disabilities from the military. Watching your videos has giving me a incentive to make some wood projects. Buying tools little at a time and reading/watching videos will hopefully help me in the future in building things. Thank you for giving me a purpose, something to look forward to.
This is awesome, hope you do it!
Nice project,
Love the videos.
Thank you!
enjoy your meal. greetings from Turkey🤝
VERY VERY VERY CREATIVE AND SMART
“You could marshmallows or you could cook food”
I agree. Marshmallows are not food but they’re still delicious 🙂
I love that marshmallows were the first food mentioned. 😁 This is such a "grate" idea! Each person can cook their hot dogs or whatever the way they want and no one is stuck managing the grill while everyone else is having fun elsewhere. I can see this being an awesome maker meet up centerpiece combined with your forge! Everyone forges their own pointy fork thing to flip over their food on the grill and then they can stick on marshmallows to roast for dessert!
I'm really happy that everyone could cook their own food whiles enjoying each other's company.
@@IliketomakestuffStuff as some Korean bbq restaurants have.
Bloopers for the win, love them
Wonderful great job
I’m liking the handheld camera shots in this
That's KOREAN BBQ style! LOVE IT! Cheers! C.
Nice BttF reference. I use that for my text tone.
That was super cool! Nice one Bob
This is super cool dude! Love the idea of changing up that centre section for different purposes. Can’t wait to see you kit out that workshop space!
Nice work, looks awesome, and so you know.. We like bloopers
Me too 😄
Great idea and job on that table
Perfect for Korean barbecue!
This is one hell of a table idea and a well made how to video 👏🏽🤯👏🏽🤯👏🏽👏🏽
Love the table! Looks like it’s a real crowd pleaser!
Loved the way your kid is watching as you grill... 10:47 Great idea, Have fun.
Hey Bob, great video like always. It's also great to see your family enjoying the project table grill you and Josh built. Fantastic.
This is awesome, if I were to build it I'd probably cut a hole in the centre for a parasol to go in. Knowing British weather it will usually chuck it down any time you decide to have a barbeque.
Anthony's camera work is fantastic in this video!
That's definitely an original idea Bob. Thumbs up!
So your video's always help me sleep. Not that they are boring or so, Just very calming.
Keep up the good work💪♥️
Finally, you made something I though of many years back... It turns out so cool, I have a make one myself! Great job to Josh and you :)
The project was awesome but I have to admit, I found myself admiring some of the camera work even more. Nice work!
Love the "Bob from the future" segment. Please do that more
I'm always envious of how much land you have. Huge basement shop and an outdoor barn ideal for a big car garage. So jealous. Nothing like that here in LA.
love the BTTF sound bite!
Great tip making a dado with the miter saw....Very neat and unique design for a picnic table!
Thanks, Josh taught us that one.
Thanks for this great idea !!
This is an awesome idea.
Cool project. You'll find out which kid is the fire bug. There's always one in a group that wants to play with the fire. 🙂 Enjoy the table
Love the build and the Back to the Future sound effects were great!!
I like how your videos are taking on a "This Old House" sort of vibe. I mean that as a compliment. Its focused on the projects and how anyone can learn how to do them, but with several different experts teaching you along the way. You are definitely building something that can continue on long after you decide to call it quits. Thanks again for another great video! Can't wait for the next one.
A side caddy for cooking utensils would be a nice addition!
This was awesome! and i love that everyone got to be involved!
Very Cool !!!!!!!
It’s like outside Korean BBQ! Love it
I wanted to make a table like this for my parents when we cook out in the summer. But i wanted to make a folding table so we can put it away for the winter. I love this idea. Thank you and love your videos. Keep it up. :)
very very cool idea
+ Several million thumbs for BFTF // Bob from the future!!
That's a lot of thumbs!
@@forby_ You earned them!
that's really cool... cant wait for more farm builds
You truly are one of the best CZcamsrs out there Bob!! I love all your videos because they are fun to watch and incredibly informative. Keep us the amazing work!
Man, you nailed the angles on those legs. I love the look of the benches too.
The look on your son's face as you're grilling was worth the time and effort it took you to make this video!
Great video!! Amazing craftsmanship!! keep up the great work!!
Awesome as always. Good to know about the bricks 🧱 too.
A lovely feeling of family arises from this video - you've made more than a table there!
Still the best diy channel on youtube 👷
Woah...you bought a farm? Nice, it means more build videos. I like that, keep them coming. 👌
That dado with the sliding miter saw was genius. I never would've thought of that!
Always making amazing thing. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Super awesome idea!
Great video, thanks for sharing
Those kids are lucky to have a dad like this ! aha :D
Bob from the Future 😄😄😄👍🏻
That is really awesome. I love making stuff to
Having all that space to assemble looks sweet!
Very unique idea, love it!
EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!
Gave me the idea of making my own Korean BBQ table grill for my backyard. Thanks for the video
That’s an incredible feature! Those are awesome!
Love this project. May make a set for my parents and in laws.
Really cool Bob, awesome project, you and Josh did a great job! 😃👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks!
Awesome! Now I want to make a charcoal variant!
Do it!
How fun!
Love this idea! Great build 👍🏻
Thank you!
Love the ingenuity here!
0:16 "Hey I'm Josh at I Like to Make Stuff, and today we're going to make a molotov cocktail!"
Nothing to see here.
@@JoshMakesStuff filling gas into something.. He's right.
U guys have managed to make an amazingly useful table/grill combo while simultaneously perfecting time travel 🤔🤔 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌
Awesome. Im making one for my wife bcuz shes the grill queen. Im just the food taster.🤙🏼
What a fantastic project! It's also wonderful to see Ginny & the kids pop up. I hope you're all doing well. =D
Love it. It's dream table. Note: Future Bob is fantastic with back to the time music.
This is such a cool idea. I never thought to put a grill inside a table, but it looks cool, and gives you a surface to work on. Love the idea and this channel.
Awesome design!
I freaking LOVE this!! Going to make it for this summer!!
I got shocked by that ignitor a comedic number of times. FIRST!
Same, my friend... Same
I think even funnier is to have your (gullible) friend hold the parts as you "accidentally" trip the starter spark. What are friends for if you can't "entertain" them?? ;^)
It was incredibly entertaining.
Cool 😎
the camera movement in the intro is amazing!
Awesome idea Bob, I know in the podcast you were talking about this table compare to Aprils and I still think you nailed it with this one! I may try building a modified version of this mixed with Aprils!
Love it. Keep up the great work 😀👍
Well made video and awesome table. Glad I found this channel. Well done!!
Nothing better than the taste of pressure treated wood and hot dogs!
This may be added here for laughs, but you don't taste or smell or feel any residual heat in those boards.
@@JoshMakesStuff not concerned about heat just the handling of pressure treated wood, nothing about it should come in contact with food or be ingested. Hands should be washed after touching the tabletop. It's great for the leg supports but a naturally rot resistant wood for the bench and table surface would be safer
awesome job!!!
This is awesome, might salvage some parts from an old small grill I have and make a hexagon table like this! Also you were talking about maybe putting in screws to hold the grates in place? What about using a small triangle file to route grooves in the bricks so that the cross braces of the grates sit into the groove?
That would absolutely work. The grates didn't move around at all, but if the start to, we can do this.
Nice Back To The Future moment there Bob & Josh! Great video as always. Keep creating & making! :>
Thanks! @forby put that gem in there.
Thank you for this. I'll be showing this to my creative, woodworking husband. Hehe ♥ He's made some great things, but this one... I think he'd love to make a variation of this! Thanks!
This is awesome. Another note, you could put rocks on top on the burners and the gas would bleed thru them and burn above them. It'd be pretty.
You knocked out of the park!
a build like this is on my list!
Really like the grill idea! And back to the future sounds. Not sure if you’re doing anything different or if it’s just the natural light, but the video looked amazing!
This is awesome, if i made one i might add a small hole n can beneath the table to catch the drippings. This looks so cool, great job man!
