What I like:

Large counter area fro prepping, setting a cocktail down and serving
from when done. Large grill (gas -- I know, I know), say 48", side
burner unit. Some storage under.

Here is my basic design anf ter much muddling through the Sunset book
and just thinking on it:

Overall width, about 120", 36" counter on the right, 48" grill, 6"
counter, 13" dual burner unit, thne 24" counter. Basic consrtuction
will be metal studs for frame covered by Wonderboard, covered by stucco
to match the house. Haven't decided on counter top material yet.
Insode the house we have Silestone, but this top would be on the order
of $1,200 (ouch). Maybe granite - I think I can get the slab with
bullnose for around $500-$600 with a backsplash. Maybe tile. I'll put
some electrical in for rotisserie, blender, etc.

I don't think I want a sink, as that becomes a plumbing ordeal.

Anybody have addional thoughts to add about their setup? Particularly
what you like or dislike or would do differently. Thanks!
