The WildKitchen

The main considerations for a WildKitchen will be location (orientation, wind direction, exposure to high winds, exposure to salt water, proximity to trees, access etc.), a deck on which to site the WildKitchen, and power to the deck for lighting. Please arrange a consultation with our team by video call or in person to discuss your location.

Cashmere Caveman Co. do not supply the decking or paving on which to install your WildKitchen, so this will be an additional cost to consider. Your contractor will also need to install the WildTent feet into the decking or paving before the installation can take place (these are provided to you after the order is placed). You will also need to run a power source to the decking to be able to plug the WildKitchen lighting in. Please be aware that delivery and installation charges are not included in the price of a WildKitchen. These will depend on the size of the WildKitchen you order and where you are located. 

To view our decking specification, please find these in the download section on the product page of the relevant WildKitchen. Alternatively, if you would like more information on the decking requirements for siting a WildKitchen, please get in touch with our Sales Team. Our in-house designers can also support with more technical queries.

No we do not install decking. We do provide full decking drawings detailing the requirements for a WildKitchen on a deck, and can also make recommendations for decking contractors within the UK.

Yes, power is required for the lighting. There are various options for providing power to the WildKitchen including mains power and batteries for off-grid. Please contact our Sales Team for more information.

The standard installation is onto a wooden deck, however we have also installed WildKitchens onto paving. This does require a different fixing and an assessment of the base to support the structure. Please contact our Sales Team to discuss this option further if you are interested.

There is no single answer to this question. This will depend on where you live and your individual council's interpretation. Particular consideration should be given to e.g. listed properties, AONBs, proximity to boundary walls etc. Please contact our Sales Team if you wish to discuss this further.

For what is included as standard with each size of WildKitchen, please view our comparison chart here.

The lead time for a WildKitchen order will vary depending on the number of orders we have. All WildKitchens are made to order by our skilled team. We roughly work to a 12 week lead time, but this varies greatly by season so please discuss this with our customer team for an up to date estimate, or with any specific requirements you may have.

This will depend on a number of factors including travel, but once the materials and equipment are on the deck, we estimate a Single WildKitchen will take 1 day to install, a Double WildKitchen will take 2 days, and a Commercial WildKitchen will take 3 days to install.

Please see the overall dimensions for all sizes of WildKitchen on the following downloads: Single WildKitchen; Double WildKitchen; Commercial WildKitchen.

Depending on the requirements, we are able to make some changes to the dimensions of the WildTent. It is hard to reduce the size of a Single WildTent and still accommodate the WildTable 12 and furniture. Please contact our Sales Team, who will refer you to a designer to discuss options and find an appropriate solution. 

Yes , customisation is possible within the constraints of the overall space. Please contact our Sales Team, who will refer you to a designer to discuss what can and can't be achieved.

The WildKitchen have been designed to allow you to entertain outside all year round. However, safety and durability must be considered in high winds. Please view our WildTent User Guide to understand wind speed limits, as well as snow loading guidance.

The WildTent is designed to work with the British weather, but as with everything, there are a few limitations. To stay safe during high winds, as well as protect the canvas and tent structure, extra precaution is needed. If winds are due to exceed 30mph (50 km/h), roll up the side panels to allow the wind to pass through. If winds are due to exceed 37mph (60km/h), roll up all side panels as well as the roof panels to allow the wind to completely blow through the structure.

It is essential during high wind speeds that you take preventative action with your WildKitchen. Please read details on wind speed thresholds and associated action in our WildTent User Guide.

In line with our structural engineer's report, the maximum layer of settled snow on the roof panels must not exceed 130 mm (5 inches). When the snow load does exceed this threshold, you will need to either manually clear the snow, or remove by burning the WildTables to melt it from underneath.

This will depend on the canvas that your WildTent is made from. Please contact customerservices@ccwildkitchens.com to discuss this further and appropriate guidance can be offered.

During the combustion of any solid fuels (e.g. charcoal and wood), carbon monoxide can be an unwanted byproduct. While the WildTable has been designed to draw emissions away from the table, and WildKitchens have inherently good ventilation, it is recommended practice to install the supplied carbon monoxide monitor within 3 to 6 metres of the burner and test the batteries regularly.

Yes Cashmere Caveman Co offers an annual  Care Plan to assist with the ongoing care and maintenance of your WildKitchen. For more information, please contact sales@ccwildkitchens.com.

To ensure you get the maximum enjoyment from your WildKitchen year-round, Cashmere Caveman Co. offers a biannual Care Plan. As with all products that remain outdoors all year round, the WildKitchen will require maintenance and attention. During the visits, an experienced member of the team will visit and assess your WildKitchen to anticipate any repairs and replacements, replace any consumable parts that have expired, carry out routine maintenance and offer advice and support on how to best look after your WildKitchen. To find out more, please contact our Sales Team.

We recommend that the flue is swept by a chimney sweep once a year, as with any wood-burning appliance.

The flue can be accessed via the small door on the side, above the damper. Remove the oval flue filter to give clear access for an extendable brush to reach all the way to the top of the flue. The small section of flue below the damper is close enough to the firebox that the heat will ensure no buildup of residue here. 

To clean the flue filter / spark arrester, open the small door in the side of the flue above the damper, and remove the spark arrester (oval-shaped metal disc). This can be tapped on the side of the burner to shake off any loose residue or soaked in cold water for an hour for a more thorough clean. This should be done frequently. You will notice that it bends downwards towards the burner which is expected, but when reinserting it back into the flue, insert it the other way up, and it will bend back over time.
