True dat, but I guess I've gotten more into a "separate is better" type of mindset where these types of things are concerned. You may recall how many people jumped on the combo TV / Video player bandwagon when that kind of thing first came out? Either the TV part or the video player died, then they'd moan and groan about having to replace both parts instead of just one. This isn't the same situation, but I would tend to have my work space separate from (though next to) the grill. However, given the particulars here, a combo station would be a cool thing.
