Yeah that’s probably the easiest option. We have a few friends who are chefs though and berated me last autumn for not having the facilities for them to get their groove on at harvest time so was looking for inspiration in the outdoor kitchen arena :) get some work surfaces on the go etc. Our bbq is relatively small so no way I’d be able to have a pan on the go at the same time as using it for grilling or frying.
In my mind there’s some sort of plans out there for a brick/ammo tin wood oven that could do pizza but with a hot plate on top etc.Have seen a £30 smoker from Argos so perhaps that’ll do the job for preserving chillis etc.

Hopefully this is the place to ask although a quick skim of the thread suggests I might not be enough of a #buyer to really get involved!
Want to upgrade the cooking experience down the allotment this year basically. I already have a nice, but fairly small bbq/brazier built by my dad but not really enough to cook a full meal for many on.
Things I’d like to do:
-Have a hot plate for frying
-Be able to boil a pan
-Maybe an oven of some description
-Smoke chillis to preserve them
Any thoughts? Obviously I don’t expect there’s really a single item that would achieve all of the above, but yeah. Basically got the bbq bit covered but want to be able to do other things as well.
We don’t eat meat so at least we don’t have the same challenges as many on this thread ;)
No electricity available and I’d rather avoid gas if possible.
Bonus points if it can all be handmade from junk etc.
