So, a good buddy of mine from college is actually into that exact business, and he's been putting out some really quality stuff lately. We met at K-State while I was going to college there. He was the bartender at the bar I visited during my entire time there. He has since expanded into the woodworking business, and he's been putting out some great stuff. Here's a few of his most recent boards that I think are a good representation of what he's capable of. I put my rep behind this guy, he's been a good friend for decades. Down home country MO native, hunts and fishes more than I do. He even has better deer recipes than I do, and that's not something I say casually.
He'll customize exactly what you want. Hit me up with a PM if you want personal contact info.

Might look through The Butcher Block website.

I must say Fish's friend boards look unique.

Very nice. Huge/thick, and that has a LOT of advantages. Makes storing a little tougher, but my family back in VA has one similar to what your buddy makes, and it was a joy to cut on.

Our kitchen backsplash and countertop is almost exactly the same as yours. Love it

So we just remodeled our kitchen. There was an old corner wood burning fireplace in the kitchen that we didn't use because of the drafting of the larger fireplace in the living room. Anyhow, we decided to put in a wood fired pizza oven from Chicago Brick Ovens in the spot since the venting was already there. It's still not done yet but it's functional. Here is a couple of tri tip roasts (made chimichurri for them) and then the next week did our first pizza. Big hit!

Here's the rest of the pics

The second link in my post is from there. They're probably fine, but it's hard to tell much from the pictures, and most of the colors are washed out and shit. That's probably the direction I'd go if I can't find a unit someone will vouch for.

My intention is to not store it. I have a big ass island that the hope is to leave it out on.

Bad lighting from an iphone a million years ago, but here it is.

tooge, that's awesome man. I'm jealous.

Thanks man. It's super cool so far. Easy to use and no smoke in the house. Only downside is that for pizza, you need to let the hearth heat up to get a great crust and it takes about 45 minutes since it's just wood firing it. I highly recommend one of these.

Sausage and Meatballs.

Vegetable soup and grilled chicken. I also had a huge piece of chocolate cake with the milkshake.
That was my last proper meal before i start my 5 days broccoli diet https://betterme.world/articles/5-da...oli-diet-plan/.
Wish me good luck, cause that is my first time doing such a thing.

Just FYI: fry your own tortilla chips. They're way better than any store bought chips and it's about the easiest thing possible. Buy a bag of your favorite taco size tortillas (I like Las Banderitas(sp)), cut them into quarters, heat up oil to 375-400 degrees, drop them in and fry for about 3-4 minutes. Drain well, season, drop into 2-gallon ziploc. Never buy chips again.
