I cook in the Aspen porch all the time, when able to with the door open, if the weather is poor I have put the cooker across the porch, with the cooker lid facing against the closed outer porch door. I don't put the groundsheet down in the porch and have found it finew to cook.

we have always cooked in the porch(one of the reasons for getting it) however team apen 01 wishes he had the dlx and the kitchen would then be set up in front of the porch door  and it would be open when cooking  admittidley this would reduce the view from inside but it would also ensure a physical barrier between me and emily when cooking...............no ,matter what team aspen always rocks and a big shout out to daisybev and co who where in the prescence of team aspen at red bank farm  this easter see you soon beat wishes pegwill
