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...

For "me" an outside kitchen would be a PITA. I like to cook things like bacon and hamburgers and stuff that spits and splatters all over the place. That stuff goes EVERYWHERE and gets on EVERYTHING! If I had an outside kitchen I would spend half my vacation cleaning up the outside of my trailer and kitchen area. Nope, not for me.
If I cook on a fire there is nothing to clean up besides the pan. (besides, food tastes better over a fire; everybody knows that!)
I don't really like to eat outside anyway. I always have to fight with the bees and fly's and nats and ants or whatever over my food.
Speaking of ants. Ants LUUUUVE grease and can smell that stuff for miles. They will walk to the end of the earth for just a drop of the stuff. Where are they likely to find it? Yep, outside kitchen!
My stove top swings out from under the counter away from the tt. It also has side wings and a top. Keeps any splatter contained to the stove and is very easy to clean, easier than my inside one would be. I have never seen ants in my outdoor kitchen. You would be just as likely to find them inside. The key is keeping things clean.
The other nice thing about cooking outside is the over sensitive smoke detector doesn't go off (it's not my cooking btw) and it doesn't stink up the tt. I also get to spend time with the family homestead are always outside, like an open concept home.
