So you're thinking about upgrading your backyard setup. Maybe your old grill finally gave out, or maybe you just watched one too many videos of some guy in Texas flipping a brisket at 5 AM and thought, "I need that." Either way, welcome to the rabbit hole. Once you start looking into custom outdoor grills, there's really no going back to a flimsy store-bought unit that rusts out in two summers.
I'll be honest, I didn't think much about grills until my old one basically fell apart mid-cookout. Grease everywhere, a hinge that snapped off, the whole thing. That's when a buddy of mine mentioned he'd gotten a custom build for his patio, and I started asking around. Turns out there's a whole world here that most people never even scratch the surface of.
