Also known as the parking spot for my Taco!

The concrete had been looking more and more grungy due to rain and pollen running under the carport, so I spent several hours pressure-washing it. I also applied some mildewcide to it, then sprayed on a layer of sealer that should help keep it cleaner looking.

A recent addition to my cooking tools is a Pit Boss 36" 4-burner griddle (center left side). That purchase made me look at moving a few items around. What you see is a much better arrangement than I had before.

The stainless steel work table is real handy for preparation and other steps in a cook. Before buying the Pit Boss, I tried a gas grill insert griddle and found it very useful for searing as well as kabobs, etc. So far, I've done a few batches of fried rice on the griddle as well as plenty of burgers! I thought about finding a new home for the gas grill (in the background) but kept it since I have room with the current arrangement.

The Traeger was a great addition when I bought it last year. It has seen a lot of duty doing pork ribs, loins and butts, turkeys, chicken, and meatloaf. The Masterbuilt electric smoker is a replacement for the older one I had; this one is used primarily as a holding oven for items that are done, but not ready for the table yet.

Just thought you'd like to see what my other "hobby" area is like!

That's a great setup indeed. I'm envious of your steel table. Someday I'd like to get a smaller (say 2-burner) gas griddle. Bonus if it runs on natural gas, like my Weber grill. Which griddle did you use on your gas grill?

[Edit to add]

This one looks interesting and affordable...

This is the griddle I used on my gas grill:

And here's the table:
