That's what our roofed unscreened back porch is....an occasional crockpot and even more occasionally a one burner hot plate. Mostly though it's our shady afternoon hang out in the glider and watch butterflies and then also a place to hang the laundry on rainy days...and some daily use garden tools, seedlings in flats, cat hangout.....
I am not comfortable leaving a pot of something for very long out there without a better 'kitchen' counter (mine is an old metal ironing board).
lt's another great idea to try on a long list of great ideas..I do intend to come up with a hay box cooker before the summer's over though 😊
