Hi all,
I enjoyed having a small outdoor kitchen on our last 5th wheel and knew I wanted one on our Montana. But, there were challenges with the one offered by Montana, so time to roll up my sleeves and build one. The kitchen is a slide out one that installs into the main storage bay opening on the curb side. It is 24" wide, 29" tall, and rests on 60" long drawer slides.
The goal was to have an outdoor kitchen with all of the utensils and accessories close by, along with an outdoor bar area.
I used a 24x24" stainless top from a restaurant table, and a 12x48" stainless shelf on pop up hinges along with a mini fridge to fit.
The frame is 10 series aluminum extrusion (Faztek Canada, similar to 8020.net), and 1/4" baltic birch plywood finished with black paint then a coat of rattle can black bedliner.
There is no water or sink yet; I will likely add RV outdoor taps with a quick connect spray hose (just inside the storage bay) and will use the 2 foldable tubs that I store in the main drawer.
The stove is really interesting; it is a Camp Chef Sidekick, see
here. This is designed to attach to the side of some of the Camp Chef pellet grill models, but I riveted 24" drawer slides onto it to mount in my kitchen. It has a really great burner, but the cool part is that it also has accessories; a griddle, a BBQ sear box and a Pizza oven! I have all of the accessories and they store in carry bags to the left of my kitchen (behind the door there)
Enjoy!
