Last weekend we got a new grill and the old built-in needed some work. I deconstructed the existing grill and rebuilt it back for the new top. The old grill was an nonfunctional grill flat top from the 50's that got replaced with a big green egg. The bright mortar in the top three courses was what it took to get back to solid material.
Fiberboard template.
The top will have a knockout for a cutting board which is on the right side here. The cutting board area is sloped to the front to minimize ponding water. I split the knockout hole for the grill to make it easy to pull everything out. The pattern on the bottom of the cutting board area is modeling clay for some drainage. The hole for the egg is surrounded with ribbed foam to allow for the concrete to shrink without cracking.
