Outside kitchen?
Looking for input on outdoor kitchens in a TT. It seems like a useful addition and would save on having to haul/setup extra gear like a stove and wash station, but I would like to hear from those wit...

Your post is interesting! We've been full circle now (I think).
When we first started camping (a tent and a pick-up truck with a shell), we always cooked over a fire.
When we got our first pop-up, we cooked on the camper stove that could be brought outside and hung on the side of the pup.
When we got our first TT, we ended up with 2 Coleman cook stoves. One was a 3 burner, the other was a flat griddle with a single burner.
Fast forward. Loved the griddle! But hated the mess. So, eventually moved to electric flat griddles and with an electric skillet, could fix anything! Including pastries! Also used the outside stove on the camper, and use the wash basin and running water all the time.
Now that the firewood bad is pretty much lifted, I'm able to bring my own firewood from home. I have 300 feet, 2 rows deep, and 5 feet high, all split, as we heat with wood all winter.
So, this Summer and even as late as 3 days ago, when camping, we are fixing stuff over the fire again! I'm not using flat griddles or stuff like that, but the simple 2 pronged hot-dog stick. Steaks, sausages, hot-dogs, and even beef cubes and such ... OMG! How marvelous!
Now, we're not giving up the flat electric griddles. I don't want to go back to the fire soot clean-up mess again. And eggs and pancakes still fix up real nice on a flat griddle!
Still funny, after 30 (plus) years of camping, we are slowly going back to over-the-fire!
