Outdoor kitchen question

One thing i will add is my first camper had the outdoor burners with the outdoor kitchen. Those i used all the time. The newer one doesn't have them. Those i do miss.

I purchased a one-burner propane eye that I purchased about $20 at Walmart since our outdoor kitchen has a grill, but not a burner.

It is a fantastic bar!

No beer keg, what's wrong with you?

That was the one thing we missed when we moved from our pop-up to the 5er and Endura. Used the grill and the stove at the same time a lot! Grill a steak, cook the corn in a pot on the outdoor stove. Saved the inside of the camper from getting stinky or smokey.

I also have no desire to have one. If we cook outdoors it's on a grill, or over the fire. We have a large 4 door refrigerator inside, so I don't need more space for drinks. Just doesn't even appeal to us.

The outdoor kitchen was on the list of must haves for our new TT, we use it every time we cook, I am usually grilling on a small gas grill or cooking over the fire, and my wife is doing green beans or potatos on the outside stove, we keep drinks in the outside fridge it saves alot of trips inside, when we are done I set the grill inside close the door and we are done, I also have a griddle that covers both burners on the stove and it is perfect for pancakes or french toast, bacon, ham, burgers, it is perfect for bear country and according to rangers in SMNP the outside kitchen is considered inside storage the same as beeing in the camper.


pro number one is the inside of the camper never gets splatered with grease or gets messy.

Paw-Paw Thanks for the reply. Guess we just don't sit around in camp long enough to warrant breaking every thing down and stowing it between meals or when we go for a walk or out on an adventure.

How do these work in BearCountry. I.E. Nat Parks as Sequoia ... Yosemite ... Yellowstone et.cet. where outdoor storage of food is restricted.

When you close and lock the outside kitchen door, it is the same as closing and locking your trailer door.

We use our outdoor kitchen in our 25' trailer 100% of the time. It has a small sink for minor cleanups, a decent sized fridge for beverages and condiments and a pull-out counter for extra space. Glad it didn't come with a built-in stove, because the NuWave electric cooktop we purchased doesn't have to fight the wind. The overhead cabinet stores picnic and barware. It's amazing how many trips we've saved climbing in and out of the camper during meal time. No need for an additional cooler either. Just lock up and done!

If I am cooking outside, it is going to be on a grill or, for nostalgia sake, bacon and eggs on my old Coleman "white gas" stove !

Outdoor kitchens take away too much valuable interior space.
