Outdoor Sinks

Sinks are very convenient outside and are invaluable to the outdoor cook. They must be in a counter space with ample room on both sides, closest to the refrigerator, icemaker and storage. They should be made of stainless steel and, in colder climates, be installed with an indoor shutoff valve to drain the line for winter. You will only need a cold water supply hook-up unless you plan to do your dishes outside as well. Size depends on personal preference and how much counter space you have available. A one-bowl sink should be sufficient for outdoor needs. Including sinks in your outdoor cooking configuration is included in Today's Homeowner web site.
