Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 HI folks - I am in the process of designing a patio cooking area off of our deck area....(deck is attached to house and patio/cooking area will be next to the deck steps to the ground).... Some elements I'd like to incorporate are the following: a food prep area so I can be outside while preparing food (counter that is comfortable to work at) a cooking area (probably gas grill) a fireplace (we love campfires) a place to cook using fire (dd and I are interested in pioneer living) My questions for y'all are: Do you do any food prep/cooking outdoors? Do you have any other suggestions of spaces to consider? Do you have any comments about those ideas? Do you have any ideas that I should consider - pros or cons? Anyone know anything about solar cooking? Thanks so much!! Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an add for an " outdoor sink " that just struck me as a great idea. It's a sink with a bucket or something at the bottom, hooked to the garden hose for water. So you can scale fish, clean sandy vegies etc. and not get all the really yecchy stuff in the house. Now THAT is what I would install! Maybe just use an old discarded sink, doesn't have to be fancy. I love your ideas though ... Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 My mom has an outdoor sink and I love the idea. Just this year they cemented under it since it is right up next to the house this helps from any leakage problems that could occur. They do not use the hose hook-up, but have a faucet. She loves it. Grace, a Augustine I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough ''Hello's " to get you through the final goodbye. --anonymous ----- Original Message ----- From: Heidi Schuppenhauer Sent: Saturday, July 13, 2002 2:21 AM Subject: Re: outdoor cooking At 03:09 AM 7/13/2002 +0000, you wrote: >My questions for y'all are: >Do you do any food prep/cooking outdoors? >Do you have any other suggestions of spaces to consider?
