#logcabin #kitchen #build I m building the outdoor kitchen at the off grid homestead because it gets too hot inside the log cabin when i cook with the wood stove in the summer. The cabin stays nice and cool under the shade of the forest trees, but it does not stay that way if I cook inside over the fire. Why did I put it so close to the cabin and out in front? The same reason your kitchen at home is in the most convenient location for living - it s the hub, the heart of the home. I do not want to walk too far from the cabin to cook my meals on the grill or in the pizza bread oven, especially if it s raining or snowing out. Why is the roof line uneven and sweeping up? The west side is higher than the right to let the smoke from the barbecue escape easier and also to get it up higher out of the way of sparks from the grill and the rocket stove. Besides the practical reason, I wanted to create more an of an organic shape rather than the typical sloped roof. Where did I get the building material from? The logs I cut down last year on my own property, on my friend s property and on my sister s property. The 1" boards I purchased from a small local mill for a very cheap price. I am handcutting the cedar shakes from the offcuts from the log cabin as well as from other trees.
