One night forgot to turn the grill off and 5-6 hours later had nice flame in the backyard. Whole thing burned to the ground. [music] I plan on this being the last outdoor kitchen I build and based on the events that happened, safety instead of being
0:15
in the background [music] is now in the forefront. It encompasses everything we need, all the cooking space, >> [music] >> all the counter top space. >> Yeah, the counter tops are beautiful. >> It’s Daniel here [music] with RTA
0:30
Outdoor Living and today we’re in beautiful St. Rose, Louisiana at the Rizzo residence and they recently designed a new RTA outdoor kitchen and today we’re going to be installing it. It’s right here behind me. Excited to
0:45
get this thing open and installed, [music] but just a few short months ago there was actually a prior outdoor kitchen [music] in the space and with a lack of awareness around these types of projects and the safety concerns that should be brought to attention. I wanted to let
1:00
Steve talk [music] about his prior outdoor kitchen and the events that unfolded. >> Thank you. >> [music] >> So, you know, I had a I built an outdoor kitchen myself. It was constructed of wood framing and and different
1:15
combustible materials and [music] I guess you know, one night forgot to turn the grill off and 5-6 hours later had nice flame in the backyard. Whole thing burned to the ground. But the construction was was straightforward when I built it. I again I used wood, vinyl facades and things like that. So
1:30
stuff that was very easily combustible. >> But wood is is a very common material to build almost anything with and I think it’s just bringing awareness to the safety concerns for future builders or homeowners that are you
1:45
know, considering doing the same thing. What we really want to do is shed some light on the most expensive project is one that you might have to do twice, right? >> Absolutely. There’s there’s no doubt about it. >> [music] >> Did I I on this being the last outdoor kitchen I’ll build. And based on the events that happened, safety instead of
2:00
[music] being in the background is now on the forefront. >> Well, Steve, we’re really glad to hear that nobody was hurt in those events. And um excited to help you with your new outdoor kitchen [music] here uh that’s behind us. So, without further ado, I think we get into it, man. Let’s go.
2:15
Let’s get it. What we have here is a galley aisle setup that we’re going to be building today. Let’s start off with building the grill island, which is going to have a
2:30
Kamado Joe smoker and a flat top grill. Let’s start building. Once you have the shell of the crate removed, uh one thing that’s really cool, there’s a lot of thought and
2:45
planning that goes into the packaging here. The first piece you take off is the first piece that’s going to go up.
3:00
Just like Steve’s ancestor said, bottom boom.
3:30
This is a uh three drawer unit. Two three drawer cabinets right there.
4:00
>> Daniel here with RTA Outdoor Living and we just finished up this beautiful
4:15
galley style layout behind me [music] here at the Rizos family’s home in Louisiana. We had the opportunity to work with them after [music] an unfortunate fire incident that took place with a previous outdoor kitchen that they [music] had in this exact space.
4:30
I think after they faced those unfortunate events, they really took priority as a major concern in their next build and that’s where RTA was really able to step to the plate and help them achieve their ultimate goals for their new [music] project. Let’s take a look at what they have here. It’s
4:45
a big wide open single sink. Covered. Easy to keep clean. Plenty of storage. I like the self-closing drawers. The sleeve for the for the Kamado Joe um rather than just sitting here on a
5:00
pedestal. [music] >> We have a lot of family, so yes, this is great. >> We’re very very excited about the RTA product, the design, the the appliances. It’s it’s everything we’ve ever wanted.
5:15
>> Man, the installation went so good today, Steve. Couldn’t be happier with the way that everything turned out and from myself and the whole entire [music] RTA team, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your project here [music] and allowing us to help you bring your family together and we’re
5:30
super excited to see your first photos of your of your next cookout. >> Well, I want to thank you [music] and the whole group at RTA has been a pleasure from beginning to end and I can definitely send some pictures. >> Awesome, man. We’ll see you. >> Yes, thank you. >> Take care.
5:45
>> Mhm.
