Firebox Stove & Hardwood Charcoal
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 08. 2024
- In this video I use hardwood charcoal in my Firebox Stove to cook our supper meal.
When I began my series on using alternative fuels in my stick stoves I stated I was looking for something I could use in Canada's national parks.
I think this may be the best combination I have tried so far
Nice demonstration. The best part of the video was blessing the meal in Christ’s name. Subscriber for life. Thank you!!
Thanks for the sub!
Very appreciative of your excellent videos and straightforward humble thoughts expressed within. I now have a g2 firebox in ss, and it is such a versatile piece of equipment. I also want to tell you of what an encouragement it was to see you and your wife join together to give thanks to God.
You will never regret buying the Firebox. You might regret the weight but it is something I have learned to live with. Thanks for commenting
I do like that you said Grace before starting to eat, God Bless
Thanks for commenting
This is a great video and we truly appreciate the review. You do an amazing job on your videos!
Thank you very much for your kind words and for watching my video
Heart warming & inspiring in every sense. Much love & respect.
Thank you for your kind words
Awesome! Love the dog bowl hack! Amen! 👍😎🇺🇸
Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting
Good stuff Mark! I've never used charcoal in my wood/stick stove but I'm going to try it. Praying before your meal is a great testimony. Sadly we seem to be a dying breed, as they say. Thanks!
Cheers from Michigan!
Somehow missed you comment before now. Thank you
I just got interested in this stove so I've been watching YT videos on it and stumbled onto your channel. I love the dog bowl oven idea!
You can't go wrong with the Firebox. Glad you like the dog bowl idea. Thanks for commenting
Agree!
Actually watch Steve at firebox stove channel give him the views deserved he is the creator of the firebox and shows so many variables
Excellent video. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting
Thank you two for saying grace.
It was lovely to see.
We need to thank God for every morsel we eat.
I loved the video and will be implementing your ideas.
God bless and 👍up.
Thanks you for your kind words
Thank you for sharing your love for God with prayer.
Most welcome
Great Information!!!!! Great Video!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting
Try those spuds again Mark, but add some mint to the butter ;) As a kid, I used to wrap pork sausages in aluminium foil and cook them around the edge of a fire. 40+ years on and I still haven't tried a sausage yet which tasted as good as those. The other thing would be minced / ground beef, stuffed into a hollowed out huge Spanish onion before being wrapped in foil too.
Great video thanks!
Glad you liked the video. Your suggestions sound great. Thanks for commenting
For a treat a cored green apple with cinnamon hard candies and butter in the hollowed part from coring wrapped in several layers of foil, set in hot coals.
I really like your idea sir especially that dog bowl oven I never thought about the charcoal on a twig stove excellent video thank you
Glad you enjoyed the video. Let me know if you try either the charcoal or the dog bowl oven idea
Great video, brilliant idea with the dog bowls 😊
Glad you liked the video. Thank you for commenting
that was awesome thank you for Saying a prayer before you ate
You are most welcome. Thank you for commenting
Can't go wrong by defining God up.
Absolutely brilliant and Amen on you getting to share this with us! Bless you sir! Love the briquettes! Gonna steal that one from you
Glad you enjoyed. My intent is to freely share whatever I have so we can all grow in our knowledge together. Thanks for commenting
What a great video, what really nice to see was your wife and yourself saying Grace as you were about to enjoy your meal. I fear eventually all religions will become a thing of the past
Thanks so much
Another great video Mark. I noticed your insect repellant spiral burning away. Last time I see one of those was 50 years ago camping with my old Mum and Dad. An instant childhood memory, worth watching the video for that alone, at least for me it was anyway. Thank you Mark.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Funny thing about the mosquito coil. After trying a number of new products I went back to using the coils and found they work better than everything else. Thanks for commenting
Mr. Young you are my new favourite Canadian CZcamsr. You're firebox reviews are spot on. I look forward to your future work
Thank you for your kind words. More to come
Years ago when my kids were young. I converted a washing m as chine drum with the holes in the side to burn oak firewood. I used Steel rebar to hold the pots well above the fire.
Iwe would make a fruit cobbler as a dessert for the four of us. I used the light aluminum baking pans I put two small jewelry box hinges and a clasp to keep our makeshift oven closed. This set up laster well till my kids were in their mid teens. Then was usually just my wife and I on vacation.
I do enjoy your videos. And thanks for sharing
Stay safe in the woods.
Great story. A little bit of creative ingenuity can make for really good kit. I have seen the washing machine fire pit before. I like the idea of the hinged bake pan oven. Might give that a try. Thanks for sharing
So really nice to see u honour our lord & saviour for your meal thank you
You are most welcome but no thanks needed. Thank you for commenting
Hello Steve, Thankyou for the video on the Firebox,my son just got me one for Father’s Day,,,,Also Thank you for staying true to valves and giving thanks before eating,how refreshing, sincerely Gene. ,Arizona Territory
Thank you for the compliment of calling me Steve (my name is Mark and Steve is the guy who invented the Firebox). I know you will enjoy the gift your son gave you. Thanks for commenting
An absolutely fantastic video. One of the best on youtube I have seen. I love the idea of the dog bowl oven, what a great idea. I am going to use that oven,
Wow...high praise. Thank you. Let me know how the dog bowl oven works out for you. Thanks for commenting
awesome idea...adding a firebox stove to my list. that'll work great for camping in the rain, festivals and state/national parks that don't allow open fires!!! thanks for this sir!
Glad you liked the video. The Firebox is the most versatile stove I own. Just a little bit heavy. Best to check your local laws on wood stoves. In Nova Scotia small wood stoves are still considered open fires by law. Thank you for commenting
Love the baking method! Thx for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed. Let me know if you decide to try it out. Thanks for commenting
Thanks for your video. The dog bowl oven is a great idea! I will be trying the charcoal soon.
Glad you enjoyed both videos. Thanks for commenting
Cleaning the undergrowth prevents forest fires...
Love your forest green, keep it clean!!!
Thanks for commenting
Excellent job friend. I love the idea of using the hardwood charcoal in the fire box stove, and the wonderful oven idea.
Another great vid!
Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed. Let me know if you give it a try
Love your videos with your wife and you are so informative
Glad you like them! Thanks for commenting
Loved the video too. Once again you show just how to do the damper. It helped immensely for me to follow and will do myself! Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting
Great idea with the charcoal Mark. I'm inspired!! I don't have a firebox but have a lixada articulated stove (small). I'm sure you have reviewed it. Anyway the U.K. has had great weather this summer but now the temperature has dropped to 2 degrees celsius today. So walk, potatoes, onions and bacon done with charcoal. Great video, great idea many thanks. Cheers Sel
Glad you found the video interesting. I have used charcoal successfully in the Lixada as well. I actually am enjoying the cooler weather now and I am inspired to cook a meal like yours. Thanks for commenting
Preparing to take my son out tomorrow on fathers day to cook a braised Lamb shank meal using my firebox stove along with the 5 way cast iron cookware set they recently put out. It'll be a longer cook, a few hours to get the lamb shanks nice and tender. Appreciate the video, I've been debating over wood or lump charcoal to use
That sounds like an awesome Father's Day outing. Thanks for commenting
That stove company should be paying you. Very happy you said your prayer before eating. Good bless you Mark.
Lol... I don't mind giving credit where credit is due...The Firebox is a good product, if a bit heavy. Thank you and God bless you as well
Mark, you are a very kind man !
I loved this video, thanks for sharing it.
Nico
Thank your for your kind words
Nico, I just checked out your channel. Amazing. You make me wish more than ever that I could speak French
Thanks a lot Mark ! Years ago, I though about subtitles, but this is so time-consuming ! I should try to speak english once, with my ugly accent lol
This was a fantastic video, it helps jump start your imagination, over the last 50 years I have used countless different kinds of gas stoves, if any thing will let you down, it is a gas stove. I am retired now on a fixed income. the cost of bulk white gas is getting up there and you have always work on them , canister gas is getting out of the question, I still use them some times in minus 25 or colder, but now I use Trangia with methyl hydrate, 3.78L for $10.00 bucks, less than the cost of one canister for a pocket rocket. plus an Ember lit stick stove the pair complement each other. I have used your dog bowel oven in the past and love them but it made me think of my Outback oven and using it with the Ember Lit stove will have to work it out. Thank you very much Greg from Clearwater BC
Glad you enjoyed the video. You have a well thought out system that will serve you in all conditions for sure. Thank you for commenting
Instructional and fun - thank you.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting
Good to see thanks in grace
Thanks for commenting
I was happy to see my search for firebox stoves had a video from Mark !
Oh yes. Love my Firebox stoves. I have them all now. Will be making more videos with them soon. Thanks for commenting
Love that oven ... smart man thanks for the tips 👍
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
Amen.looks great.thanks for all the tips.
Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for commenting
I have been experimenting with coconut briquettes/logs in the Firebox. The hexagonal logs I purchased ( Napoleon brand, seen them available in the USA and I purchased in the UK) are a bit longer/taller than the Firebox so I cut them to length, which is easy to do. I than placed 5 of these Swedish torch style in the FB stove and it's been a very successful way to use carbon neutral charcoal essentially made from a waste product.
These logs do take a while to get going but a few wood wool fire starters ensure a good start and once going burn hot and long, a few hours!
Very interesting. I have not seen the coconut charcoal before. I will take a look for them. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Not sure if you are on the StoveAholics Facebook group, I have seen a few familiar names on there from some channels I follow.
I did post some pictures on there.
Thanks for including the blessing.
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
Just recently discovered your channel, which is great 👍. My wife and I are enjoying your videos.
I am glad you are enjoyed the videos. Thanks for commenting and for subscribing
Wonderful cooking vid, Mark & Gina; Hard to beat those Fir-Box Stoves, So many different ways to use, & sompact. Thanks for sharing the trip & Meals ! ATB Ter God Bless
Hey Terry. I do love my Firebox. If only it wasn't so heavy. I will still carry it regardless of weight of course. Thanks for commenting
Been watching your videos for a while. Always enjoy. I like the fact of showing of grace before the meal.
Thank you for your kind words of support
Wonderful hearing Grace at dinner time...saw your last video and wood pellets and will also try wood charcoal. Spring time here in Campbell River. God Bless...
Thank you for your kind words. Can I assume you are in Campbell River Kentucky? I have visited the area when my daughter worked there a few years ago. Very beautiful area
You can use pine cones to start the coals too. Drip wax/parrafin/stearin on them...
Sounds good. Thanks for commenting
I had the pleasure of visiting your lovely national parks in Canada a few years ago. I'm from the US and was surprised to learn about not being able to pick up sticks/twigs. But the campsites were all so organized and clean, I did not mind playing by your rules while there. I liked that firewood was supplied or we could buy it cheaply at the campsites vs having to find and cut dry wood.
I am glad you enjoyed your stay in our park (which park?) Good way of looking at the wood rules. Thanks for commenting
Great Idea, Great Cooking, Great Meal, Amen. Great Video.....
Hello. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for commenting
Mark this is another wonderful video, thank you! I will keep you in my prayers for a full and speedy recovery. Haven't been on in a while, dealing with difficult issues myself, but delighted to see you. Be well.
Hi Felicia. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your continued support. You are in my prayers as well
Great job putting this video together! Your ideas and demonstrations are top notch, as are your diction and presentation skills. What I found most gratifying, however, was your prayer to our Heavenly Father thanking Him for your many blessings. May He continue to bless you and yours.
Thank you very much!
thanks for showing the prayer.
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
Great video!
Some food for thought;
I have used charcoal as a forging fuel on and off for many years, and the study of ancient tooling and practice has always been a large part of that.
What you find is that, generally, airflow is more or less provided in a fairly narrow range of flow, with the amount of fuel sometimes being used to regulate heat output. Mostly though, the fires and containers are made to be of a suitable size for the job at hand, and the fuel and air consumption rate is fairly constant.
The big factor controlling heat applied to the work is either position in the fire, as in the case for forging, or distance from the fire, as in the case of cooking and other uses.
Adjusting draft to control the output of a charcoal fire tends to not work very well by and large.
Thanks Randal for the exhaustive treatise of charcoal :) Actaulla, very interesting information. I am learning the hard way but am finding that charcoal is my favourite fuel if I can't use wood. Thanks for commenting
Thanks so much for this "homeboy"...greetings and salutations from sunny Coldbrook/Lunenburg ...well done indeed! :-) I hope "Kuje" opens soon!
Hi there neighbour. Glad you found my channel. Summer is coming but I doubt the National Parks will open...maybe. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Oh..I don' need no stinkin' parks...they won't find me where I go #GoogleMaps Keep up the tips n tricks n hacks! Love it :-)
Thanks for sharing. Definitely some things I will try next summer when we go to Algonquin Park for a week of tent trailer camping. Take care and hope all goes well with your health.
Glad you enjoyed. Sounds like a great trip for next summer. I am recovering well. Thanks for commenting
Well done. I bet firebox man, Steve, is very proud of you! Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks. Steve has made a great stove
Mark Young agreed! I bought two of them and really enjoy them both.
I like this video. I was wondering about charcoal in my stove. Glad I found this. Isn't cooking Outdoors fun.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Charcoal works amazing in these stoves. Thanks for commenting
Interesting Idea...Although I find plenty of wood to use I am now interested in making charcoal chunks and testing it out in a couple of my DIY stick stove..
I usually make enough charcoal each year using willow sticks I use it for charcoal drawing and in my outdoor shop to rough mark logs and projects handy and cheap...
I have not tried making my own charcoal yet but it is on my list of things to do. Lot like making charred punk wood but a much larger scale. Thanks for commenting
Well done…God Bless! 🙏🏻
Thank you very much
I really enjoy your video 👍
Thank your very much
Charcoal works great! great video, thank you for sharing Mark. Best regards -Yves
Charcoal is turning out to be a great fuel alternative. Gald you enjoyed Yves. Thanks for commenting
Since you mentioned onions you might like this recipe. Make the potatoes like you did and at the same time add Italian sausages (bulk or whole, also add some green bell peppers and the onions. Also used some of your Tex mex... Excellent taste. I must try a blueberry muffin... NIce video Thanks.
Sounds tasty. Thanks for commenting
Really swell video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed. Thank you for commenting
Got me sold on the FIREBOX and looking forward to using
.
Hard to beat the Firebox. Thanks for commenting
Amazing my Friend,,,,!!!!!
Maybe next video you could allow us to visit and hear your lovely wife’s thoughts on your stove. I just purchased the titanium firebox. I’ld certainly love to try out a few of your awesome Parks,,,!!!! I also like your choice of charcoal.
His Blessings,,,,

Glad you enjoyed the video. My wife likes the little stove but I expect she would say I spend too much money on them. How many do I need?🤔 I could ask her to do some cooking on one and record what she has to say. Thanks for commenting
Great Vid Mark and I agree you are a good cook more cooking tips and recipees please take care
I can't claim to be a good cook but I will be happy to share what little I know. Thanks for commenting
I love chunk charcoal. Has the added benefit of being so light weight! Have to take care not to crush them, but that's not difficult.
Right on. Much better fuel that briquettes. Thanks for commenting
Great video Mark. I use my FireBox Stove with lump charcoal all the time. It’s my favourite stove. I don’t use the damper, I find using the damper can cause a buildup of ash. But the damper does work good for some cooking. The stove can easily cook two Big beef tenderloin or chicken breast. I need to try that dog bowl oven, it sure works good.
I agree the damper is not worth the effort most of the time. It did little to control temperature as I thought it would. For sure you can cook a good size meal on this stove. Glad you liked the dog bowl oven. Thanks for commenting
Nice job thanks
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
My first generation Firebox Stove doesn't have that extra slot in the sides for supporting the damper, but I don't imagine it would be too difficult to add one. You know, in all the videos I've watched you make, I KNEW there was something special about you! Now, after watching you pray over your meal, I get it . . . you're a Christian. Hey, thanks for the great video, my friend.
Of the additions to the 2nd gen Firebox stove I think I like the feed ports on the side the most. I need to play with the damper more to determine its real value. I tend not to be pushy about my faith but I but I am secure in my beliefs. Thanks for commneting
Thanks for this great video I really appreciate it I use the same charcoal it’s far better for me than the brickets
Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for commenting
Amen. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting
very encouraged by prayer to true God and your skills with firebox; amen
Thank you for your kind words and for watching
Nice video l must try the Charcoal in my firebox and the offen you made was a great idea nice one 26 is warm here we have autumn and mornings 7 to 13 degrees and on the daytime 17 , 18 regards Barrie
Hi Barrie. Much cooler here now in Nova Scotia are monrings are about 16c and about 20c in the afternoon. You won't be disappointed with charcoal in your Firebox stove. Thanks for commenting
Wow, Mark. Great report.. The lump charcoal is very light and super easy to ignite. If you have the room in your pack it is a great choice as a fuel. Your idea of using the ash plate as a damper is ingenious. Thanks for sharing.
Perhaps you need to bank a supply of dried onions for extended forays in the future (very little weight penalty there). I really liked the idea of using the parchment paper. That worked very well. That should be a standard component of your lightweight dutch oven kit.
God's speed on your recovery. God bless you and yours and keep the good ideas coming....
Funny thing, I had dried onions at home...ah well. Glad you enjoyed the video. I am recovering well and will be starting cheno shortly. Thaks for your continued support
An addendum to your Dutch Oven.......
I watched an INSTRUCTABLE video this morning that suggested the use of a carbon fiber pad as a separator/insulator.
The carbon fiber pad weighs almost nothing and has some advantages.
The heat convection aspect for the system needs to be evaluated - it may restrict the heat flow excessively.
You have some work you need to do.
Hey man, we need your continued input - you have a great ability for conveying your great knowledge to the rest of the world..
I love your gentle demeanor - I pray for you.
Good luck my friend - God's speed on your recovery.
Jim Ferguson ...Good to know I am still wanted...I would love to get a hold of some carbon fibre matting. I can think of a number of uses for it. It is available here at Home Depot but it is not cheap as I would have to buy a rather large "blanket". Apprenetly, it is intended for use as a welding blanket and comes in a fairly big size. Maybe I could find someone to go splits with me.Thank you for your continued support
Mark - let me see what I can arrange - talk to you soon.
Ótimo vídeo Parabéns 👍👍🇧🇷
Muito obrigado😊
" Walmart in the US, sells a 4 pack of flat heavy duty skewers that look virtually identical to the fire sticks, except they are about 15 inches long and have a question mark end that's about 1 inch around. They sell for about $1.88 per 4 pack. Might work as a substitute for actual fire sticks. "
I actually have a video showing exactly that. Thanks for commenting
you're definitely right about waiting till near the end to add seasonings, minus salt for most things minus eggs lol, you do definitely lose some flavors when those delicate compounds get heated for too long or too high
Right on. The art and science of BBQ. Thanks for commenting
Thanks!

Hi Mark from North Wales in the UK
this is my first visit to your channel, as I was searching for info regarding this firebox stove and came across your video, Firstly id like to say what a truly nice guy you are!!, secondly a really great video you have done on the fire box stove and how you use it, I`m going to subscribe right away because i know there must be some great videos to catch up on. all the best, stay strong
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad you found the video helpful. Thank you for commenting and subscribing to my channel
Mark, I've done much the same (using briquettes) with my homemade hobo coffee can stove, but the idea of using a folding stove just sold me. I agree with you 100% about not using wood debris from the floor of the Prov. or Canada Park. I've seen too many examples of damage to dead & green wood by unthinking campers. This is a real alternative to bringing in gas stoves with fuel and all that entails. I also know that two burner stoves made from two coffee cans hobo stoves, sterno stoves or these folding wood burning stoves would not only be practicable, but also appeal to our "get back to nature" minimalistic approach to camping. So in the next day or so, I will go out to price & maybe buy a folding wood / charcoal burning stove. Great video.
Hi Richard. I agree charcoal, especially chunk charcoal is greatly underrated as a fuel as is wood pellets. I absolutely love my folding Firebox stove and highly recommend it to anyone who can justify the cost. Truthfully, if money was an issue for me I would be almost as happy to stay with my Ikea hobo stoves. Glad you found the video helpful and thank you for commenting
There's a kit to use the zebra billy pot with the firebox as an oven btw!
Yes, I have the kit for my larger 16cm Zebra pot. Thanks for commenting
Dog bowl oven love it. ty. for the ideal. I use PIC Coils every time the bugs are out.
Glad you liked the video. Yes, the old school coils still work. Thanks for commenting
Great vid and demo Mark! The firebox is certainly a versatile stove, the best IMHO. My stove obsession ended when I got both of Steve's stoves. Maybe Santa will bring you the Nano and then you can cook the sausages and the fries the same time next year! Hope your feeling better. Hi to Gina!
HI Jackie. The Nano is at the top of my wish list. I tend to pack too heavy most hikes and want to start packing a little lighter. The Nano will likley become my goto stove. I will pass on your hello to Gina. Thanks for commenting
It was nice just to see you praying. You don't see that enough anymore. Keep up the good work .
Thank you, I will
Great Video - so good to see prayer at the dinner table. Hope everything is going well with your recovery.
Gald you enjoyed the video. I believe it is always proper to give thanks for our blessings. I am doing well waiting to start the next step. Chemo
I almost left when you said "my lighter just died," but I'm glad I stayed. LOVE your use of the dog bowls and paper clips! VERY resourceful!
I'm glad you stayed and enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching

@@MarkYoungBushcraft you are welcome and God bless you guys
Does anything smell better than hardwood charcoal on a grill -- or firebox? I'm hungry just thinking about it. Of course in Texas where I'm from, we would be using mesquite wood. An outdoor meal cooked over an "open" fire is the absolute best. Saying Grace makes it perfect. Bless you and your channel, and prayers for continued success. Your channel is a welcome island of peace in my on-and-off internet time.
I enjoy a cooking over coals as well but when that is not possible, charcoal is the next best thing. Thank you for your kind words
i think i need to go to kouchi next time you are there and smell my way to your camp ;)
Let me know if you ever go. Would love to meet up with you and the family
Nice job Chef Mark!
Wow, no one every accused me of being a good cook LOL...thanks for commenting
Yum! Yum!🙏

Great video Mark, I love that dog bowl oven! I'm going to try that. I noticed that you had a really nifty set of tongs that worked perfectly to remove the dog bowl oven, it was great how they wrapped around it. Did you make those?
Glad you enjoyed the video. Actually, I got lucky with the tongs. I picked them up at a thrift store for another project and it turned out they were perfect for this. Thanks for commenting
WoW You make me hungry Mark 😉 Absolutelly great demonstration of the versatility of the Firebox and the comparison with the old and trusty Hibachi is Just right with a big difference: the FireBox is far way easier to pack and carry and much more lighter 😉👍👍👍 But if I clan put my hands on one of those vintage BBQ in a garage sale or fleas market guess what will happen 😂😂😂
Hope you a e doing well and That your are fighting good That disease 💪💪💪💪Sending lots of positives and healing energy Brother 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ciao from Québec ⚜
Laurent Gouzou AKA Lynx1963 Hey Laurent. Good to hear from you. I agree, the Firebox ia a great piece of kit. If only it wasn't so heavy. I also would love to have one of the older cast metal hibachis to use here at home. I'm doing well. Actaullu got out for a hike in the woods yesterday. Just waiting to start chemo now.

Hello Mark from Niagara, Canada. I use the Varusteleka Sarma twig stove. It is very robust and only $23 CAD. www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-wood-burning-stove-laser-cut/34410
Keep up the good fight.
Another name for that lump charcoal is Cowboy Charcoal.
You can actually make that charcoal easily.
I had not heard that term before. Yes, I recall making it with my father, maybe 50 years ago. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft No prob.
I saw a bag at WalMart one day.
I made my charcoal for use in the garden as Biochar. Very small pieces. took all winter to make about a dozen bags of it due to size needed.
I can make almost any size charcoal - pretty easy too.
You just need a long hot fire, stainless steel stock pot with stainless steel lid, some wood pieces.
You basically cook the wood (lid on loosely) until the gasses stop flaming, then wait 30 more min.
Remove keeping lid on, let cool WITH LID ON.
Takes about 3 hours or so to make one batch.
You get nice crisp charcoal that way.
I believe a campfire is literally a human right. None of us would be here without humans gathering some wood together and making a fire.
Lots of good things happen around a campfire. Thanks for commenting
I think you could forge steel over that little rig. Great film as always sir.
Pretty much. I have considered adding a fan to see how that would work. It would really be a forge then. Thanks for commenting
Wow, haven’t seen that mosquitos repellent in ages......🤣, did not know they still sell those...
Yup, and they still work. Thanks for commenting
