As my sink is on an outside wall that gives onto the deck, it wouldn't be hard to take water out there. I had a friend who built a bricked enclosure his gas grill fits into; I'd like mine to accommodate both the gas grill and a next-door pellet or charcoal grill. His has "doors" so he can roll his grill out and replace it when needed. Then I want that to turn the corner onto a counter that could accommodate bar-height seating and serve as prep space. It would be small -- my deck is not large, but opening onto it is a sunroom where I plan to put a patio dining set.
Down the road, there are plans for a pool in the back yard, too.
An outdoor oven is a lot of fun and can be as luxe or rustic as you choose. Ours is the latter.
and provides plenty of opportunity and challenge. As you say, a pizza oven, a long slow roasting oven, a roaring hot tandoori. You will be limited only by your imagination and willingness to experiment. Go for it!
