I do like the idea of the utility/outhouse tent. Both are very nice. I like your suggestion of tucking it in the corner and not taking up more space. Not a bad price either. Thank you!

Yeah you could tuck it the corner no problem with the Nebraska, just peg your guy's quite close to the tent and it would fit next to the porch area nicely.
I have also stood with a brolley outside the tent whilst knocking something up on the gas BBQ when its raining. I am also slightly wary of getting too close to the tent/canopy.
As we have had some pretty bad weather this year, and I always have a EHU, I have a two ring electric stove - though again I have used this on a table out in the porch - but best with a splatter guard if you're frying and preferably have the canopy open.
Thanks for the link to Argos, great sale. I keep thinking I don't really need one, just more fuss. But I just don't want to take chances with my tent and I have 2 children that I worry about running into the stove. The canopy on my tent doesn't look very big. I have found 2 that I like and would tuck it into the corner outside the tent as suggested.
MamaBear. I do agree with the advice for a stand alone cook enclosure. We bought one [see gallery] for this purpose altho' we dont use it for said function [Dressing/washing room] but the point is it tucks in behind the tt and is pretty well out of the way. Maybe you could get one for your setup which you could tuck in the back. Anyway enjoy your trip.
Thanks RSM. We have decided to get one. The utility tent at argos is out of stock here and the counties surrounding me. So will have to look elswhere, but I know we won't have it for this weekend. Bummer
My hubby was thinking a patio brelly would work, but they are about the same price and not as practical. Hopefully, Argos will get them back in stock soon.
