Hey Tony,
Right now I'm leaning towards a fairly organic, natural locally sourced stone version of something like this, in a semi circle...a KK'S about 6 feet on each side of the chimney, with proper height work space on either side. Simple, but nice brick/stone compass mosaic in the center of an abutting circular patio....possible pergola over whole thing. You'd step down off the deck on increasingly larger split stone grain wheels, onto said patio, walk across to the semi circular wall of grillage and chimney....Lots of fun, hanging lighting etc...
Working on it...
