Our galley has an Elkay 22”x 25” SS single bowl sink, standard Suburban RV stove w/ 3 burners, and a microwave. I made a 2 piece cover for the sink for more counter space. I hope to remove the stove this winter, make a new top and install a 2 burner cooktop. We use a Cuisinart convection toaster oven that will live where the stove was and come out when needed. We do use the microwave. The stove hood is noisy but works pretty well. Also have a Fantastic Fan in the galley area. Never have had a ventilation problem.
The dinette is opposite the galley and the table is used quite often as a countertop.
95% of cooking meat/fish is done outside on a 22” Weber Kettle grill. Sides are usually on the grill or on the cooktop. I really have never had the need for more than one burner inside and have found the front burner adequate, but I am not using cast iron.
We also believe in eating simply, but with as good ingredients as possible.
Good luck to you in your endeavor.
Thank you very much, this is the kind of feedback I'm looking for.
We probably have the same countertop convection oven. It's big enough that my skillet fits and I have a pizza stone for it. We love it.
As you say, I imagine using one burner most of the time, with the occasional second used. Outside will always be preferred, but when we're using it in travel mode we'll want to park and prepare dinner with as little fuss as possible.
We have two Weber kettles, one more than 20 years old, and everything one it has been replaced, including the bowl. We use it for everything.
