The chicken weighed 4.66 lbs. I cooked it for a total of 1:18 I burned approximately 7 oz. of denatured alcohol, but I think I could do it with 5 or 6 oz. by following the guidelines below.
What I Learned: Next time I think I'll:
#1- Oil the outside of the pot lightly for easy turning.
#2- Leave the simmer ring off the Trangia (run on full high) for the first 10 minutes or so, then put it back on (fully opened) for about an hour or until the chicken reaches about 150 degrees (f) then remove the simmer ring for the last 10 minutes or until the chickens temp reaches 165f - 170f.
You keep talking about your scoutmaster when you were young being your inspiration and mentor...YOU sir are my inspiration and mentor..i am learning so much from watching your videos..im sure others out here agree. THANK YOU.
Thank you for the kind words, I am glad you feel inspired by the videos!!
I totally agree!
This video really showed me something: on a warm day, an alcohol stove can perform miracles...and so can the Zebra Billy Bush Pot. Yes, you do sell the items, but you show shoppers just how to get more out of the equipment than we might have imagined. The 'rotisserie' trick, with and without the oil lubricant, was a mind-expander. Thanks! I also liked the portable table. My wife and I did a lot of back-packing along recognized but relatively undeveloped trails and one thing we would have added if they had them was a sturdy folding metal table such as the one you demonstrated. The cooking project showed just how sturdy that kit was! As an avid home cook and camp fire cook, I agree with every bit of technique you used. Bush-craft base campers and bug-out campers will love to know this: no need to rely on freeze-dried misery!
James Ellsworth thank you James I really appreciate your thoughtful comment!
Just purchased the nano, can’t wait for it to arrive. I did use my 14 cm billy to bury a grouse in the coals after breakfast, then dug it up for dinner. It’s a great out back pressure cooker. Your Billy’s are the best.
Don Eddy nice! I'm so glad you're enjoying our Billy Bush pots. Sounds like a fun project!
Hello Steve, This is something I do both at home and on my trips. I marinate my chicken in Zesty Italian Salad Dressing. It (to me) turns out great every time. Thanks for the vids, info and ideas. Stay safe Sir.
Neat, imma try that, in theory the ingredients and chicken mesh well. cheap and easy too. Thx for idea
Looks delicious!
Brilliant, as usual, Chef. Thanks for the video. Makes me think I need actually to get out more, but in the meantime, I have your videos and my back yard.
Christopher McKellarMcKellar I'm always thinking the same thing, life get's in the way of living sometimes. I'm still trying to catch up to your long trip this spring!
Steve... An excellent video... I want to take this opportunity to say a few things. First, I have purchased both the 5" Firebox and the Nano Gen 2. I am very pleased with both and I appreciate the Military Discount you offered. I have shared my stove with other members in my military group. I just watched a video from someone that did not like your Nano Gen 2 because it did not boil his water fast enough to eat his meal within 5 minutes and his cup turned black. I went camping with my sons and while it took 12 minutes for my water to boil, I had a delightful, quality conversation with both during that time as we cooked our meals. I used the Firebox for a campfire and an old style percolator for coffee. I look forward to the next generation of Firebox and will pass my old one to my sons. Keep up the good work.
Ken T
+Ken T Exactly! Camping is to get away from the rush and relax! No better place to really connect with friends and family.
Thanks for your kind words, Steve
+Ken T I've seen that video with the old guy moaning about the boil time too. I can only imagine he's moaning about the time because he has less of it left! Safe trails brother.
+Ken T I saw the video also and think that he had not seen others be more than successful with the Nano, like anything if you can't take the time to use a tool you may not get the results you are looking for, I have been very happy with mine, I also have the 5 inch firebox and it as well, it just flat out works.
I've also seen the video you're referring to... no fool like an old fool eh? lol
+Dougie lol
It's two in morning and you're making me hunnngry! Love that table and pot; not into tiny teeny fires but you did a great job with that chicken. Thanks for posting. Lol.
I never knew this even existed cooking a whole chicken other than my own similar cooking it much the same way w/out the brine...just great seeing others doing it too. Just my ways on the catwalk behind the truck cab when camping out away from the truckstops. :) C-Ya.
It is amazing to me that it took no longer to cook that chicken than it would at home in an oven. Very neat!
Thanks Mike!
Excellent video, friend! Gonna give this a try as I have alot of the same kit. Never once thought of roasting a chicken this way. Thanx for the instruction and inspiration!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
That stove is awesome. Love the Jacklore, Love the table, Love the Billy Zebra cans.. I love it all.
+05Rudey Laughing, thanks!
what is the table please Steve and is it available in the uk? Also I wondered if you'd tried the roast in a bag chickens...easy for transport n v moist? Hope you made gravy out of the juices, all you'd need us some mash to go with that!!
The zebra pans now have PLASTIC lid locks for the pans so are not worth bothering with anymore (they would melt using it this way)
STEVE!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! Its been a while since I tuned in with you and am SUPER happy to see a whole BUNCH of new additons to the line! LOVE the zebra pots! LOVE seeing your face and that your getting into the videos more! LOVE IT my friend! Keep up the amazing work! WE support you! I've either gotten or suggested a folding firebox to ALL my friends and family! Went to my sisters this past week and was delighted to see that she was using her nano during a power outage and LOVE IT! Bless you and your family and the business too!
+Nat Boggs Thanks so much Nat! I'm actually doing a KickStarter for our G2 5" Firebox on the 25th at 8am MDT Thanks for your support!
Hi Steve! I just wanted to share how I cook a whole chicken. I use the 16cm Zebra pot upright. I put a layer of small rocks in the bottom, and then I place a 4.5 inch, 2 inch deep pan on top of the rocks. The pan collects lots of juice for gravy! Also, I put a damp tin foil pouch of smoking chips between the rocks and the bottom of the pan. Works great for me! I prefer to use the Nano Stove, as it is easier for me me to maintain a very small bed of charcoal. Keep up the great videos! Thank you!
+Paul Gibson Sounds Awesome Paul! Thanks for sharing your technique!
You're awesome brotha! I've cooked like this before and yours didn't bunr NEAR as much as mine. Thank you for the video!
+jiujitsu2000 I get lucky. But thanks!
Every time I watch your vids I get hungry. You are my favorite --- very informative.
Lol hopefully you are getting some great food. Thank you for watching!
Seein' is believin'! And all the comforts of the home kitchen in the back country. Worked out very well Steve, thanks for showing us it can be done. Yes I've noticed that about Trangias! Thought I was seeing things.
Canesser Thanks Clint!
Never mind the negs. out here. I appreciate everyones videos they make on their own time. What ever works that's all that matters. Keep up the good work!
+Keith Lapere Thanks Keith!
Keith Lapere Great Comment, neg Comments are weird where their better videos...ha ha.....take big shoes to beat this one! I'm old guy and he taught me couple things!
Finally someone that has a table to work from! I was thinking on the 100 plus videos that I've watched in the past few weeks and wondered why people did all of the cooking on the ground. And asked myself isn't there a table that you could bring to work from? And there you have it. Thanks man!
I pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Every time I watch your cooking videos I have to cook something to est. I do have to also say that Ashley most definitely has a great fife with you and your family. Thanks again Steve for your video's.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Ash for perfectly in it family for sure!
Very inspirational and enjoyable to watch this, flies seemed to like it too! a bit to hot for them,give some to the woofer.....lol.
Gives new meaning to 'stuffed chicken'! Great camp cooking video.
Michelle Jacobs Thanks Michelle! I'm glad you found it entertaining! I liked your first comment better though ;) laughing!
Hi i love your channel. Good information and inspiration. So i start my expedition 365 days in the woods at 1. April and i'm happy to see how it works. . .thanks Dirk
13:14 That's some damn good camo your dog's got there :)
Especially in black and white!
These videos are awesome, definitely will be purchasing a firebox!! I'm sold!!
Thank you Mike, you will love it!!
thanks steve now I know why I like the pots they are storage as well. thanks again
Patrick Smith Yea, you can fit in a lot of stuff, I was surprised!
Simply brilliant! Just got my Nano in the mail (right here in the Netherlands) and will try this this weekend.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers, Bas
+Out and About West Thanks Bas!
Now I've got all the kit I'm going to try this later this week. Looks delicious Steve. Great video.
I would love to know how it goes and if possible a picture or two would be nice.
Be sure to check out the description, I listed everything I plan to do differently next time I do this.
Great video, loving them all.
Thanks Brian! I certainly appreciate you watching and commenting!
thanks a lot... I live in england and I've just started to try to explore the world I have on my doorstep... Took a lot from your video... Roast Chicken... Nice... Thanks again...
+Ronnie Lewis Thank you Ronnie!
This video is awesome! Certainly expanded what I thought was possible
Thanks Joshua! If I think there's any chance of something working, I get excited to try it 👍
I have been cleaning out my old gear. I normally use my small North Face mountaineering pack for day hikes or overnights, but I pulled out my old EMS external frame pack and am planning to use it soon. I gotta send my NF pack and tent in for some basic repairs. My tent, stove, water purifier, two packs, and more are all stuff I purchased when I was 15 to 17 so some of it is up to 24 years old and still working mint. No one will probably even know what an external pack is anymore since I haven't seen them for sale in probably nearly 20 years. It is awesome if you sweat a lot since there is a gap at your back, but bad for balance over rocky terrain.
I'm impressed. Going to try this with tandoori or jerk marinade. Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate this method.
+thebricklayer My pleasure! Thanks for commenting!
Great video Steve! Really enjoyed your tips/tricks on roasting a chicken in your 14cm Zebra pot... I'm considering the 16cm pot for my family and think this method would be perfect! Thanks again and I'm sure others would love other cooking videos as well not only with the Zebra Pot but other methods as well! Again, Thanks for all you do and may the Lord Bless You and Yours!
Thanks Kenn!
wow very very nice great for winter cooking thanks so much for posting
michael tucker My pleasure Michael!
your welcome
Super cool, will definitely try this method!
Thank you Dave, glad you found it useful!!
I just bought one of these little Trangia burners and was looking around at how other people cooked with them This is one of the most unusual for sure! Well done, and good on you for sharing your efforts with us! I don't own a Zebra Billy, but if I ever get one I'm tossing in a whole chicken and roasting it on my Trangia lol. Carrots, onions and taters are going in with it!
Awesome! Thanks!
Very good idea! Bringing the ability to cook proper meals to the Bush!
+kc329191 Thanks!
Great video! I have a pheasant in the freezer, I know where it's going this week! Thanks again for all that you do I totally love your products.
Oh that sounds delicious, let us know how it turns out. Thanks for the business and support James!
No problem, I've been telling everyone I can about you and you're products.
Looking forward to that folding GSI table when it gets back in stock!
Have a great day😎
Wow, this is very cool. Subscribed. Please keep the videos and products coming!
+MetaLexxer Sure will! Thanks!
Just stumbled onto your channel and love it. I visited your website and will be making some purchases soon. Love what your doing and offering. I wish I could get out more but for now I will live through your channel lol, keep up the great work.
Troy De Hoyos, thank you for that! You will love your stove.
Awesome way to cook a chicken and it looked so good. Thanks
Gary Cloud My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
As always...I’m in awe of your invention. I’m wondering about how to set up a rotisserie? Can you do that? Thx. Oh yeah, I purchased a stove out of Canada the other day. Can’t wait!
Awesome, I will be cooking the chicken soon, on my new camp out. Did the cookies and crumb cake at a boy scout backpacking adventure, it was a HIT.
808Hiker That's great! Did you happen to get any pictures?
Because of this video, I'm cooking a chicken in my backyard right now! I love that Billy pot and plan on getting myself one for my birthday. oh yea, I would have loved to have seen a Jackalope on your vid but oh well. My grandfather used to have a head mount on his wall. very rare to see one alive these days.
Lol! Yes, I consider myself very lucky!
Such a kick to watch this. Thank you.
Thank you for watching Cindy, glad you enjoyed it!
AWESOME video mate.
Excellent demonstration! Just subsribed. Just returned from Boundary Waters with my son he would have loved this. I baked walleye in my bush pot. Turned out awesome.Thanks again!
19:40 Too Dark Don't Exist My Brotha. That's Just A Little Extra Love!
Lol thanks for watching!
I have the 2gen 5" and the nano - amazing what you can do with these - love my fireboxes!
Thank you for your ongoing support, it's very appreciated! 😁
Also, try oven bags for roasting without mess and conserving all those great juices for creating a quick sauce or gravy over the fire.
+Joyce Champion Good idea! Thanks!
Haha beat me to it. Some water, stock cube and all those juices back in to the large pot is a soup ready to go for some quick nutrients later on. I think it's good for a couple of days if boiled properly when re-heated and stored with minimal air contact depending on the climate. In winter you can extend that to a week I guess. great vid apart from the cooking thermometer Firefox stove :-) who but then again it is a whole chicken. Someone just needs a pot like this with a temperature gauge on it.
@@grahamnumber7123 Steve grills a hole in the lid for a minimal cost and the temperature gauge is available too. I got both of those options with my billy pot after watching his video using them.
Love your videos. Love to see some bushcraft breakfast cooking too. thanks my friend
Thanks for watching Frank!
Very nice!! I might grab one of those pots for the locking lid.
Preston Gladd Thanks Preston, you'll like it!
FireboxStove order placed
You cook that chicken very good, just purchased that pot looking forward to use it.
Thank you for the support! You will love the pot.
Awesome video! Really enjoyed seeing this was actually possible,
+Christopher Murphy Thanks Chris!
That is impressive job, BRAVO
Charles Bugeja Thanks Charles!
Great video. I learned a lot! Very cool idea! Thanks
Thanks for watching "M"
Quelle bonne idée! Merci!
I have the tiny 12cm zebra..cant find a pan small enough to go in it..one day I hope to upgrade to 16 cm..I OWE YOU A BIG THANK YOU!!!! I keep looking at your little table and wanting one..for some reason when you just called it's name a big bell went off. I began digging thru things I've bought a few years back and not used....I HAVE THE GSI CAMPING TABLE!!!! Its now sitting in the front seat of my car...Thank you for saving me money I was getting ready to spend this weekend to buy one
That is great, I am glad you found it! I hope you have a blast out there with your gear. Thanks for watching!
That does look very tasty. If you dont have a meat probe you can test for doneness in chicken by poking a knife or skewer right into the joints and watching what colour the juice runs...It should be clear. Hope little woofer got some of the meaty bits
I love what you do with the chicken! Reminds me a bit of the Costco rotiserrie chickens!
They really turn out delicious like this. I am glad you enjoyed watching!
Great effort mate. We tried a similar system but with a bigger bush pot so the chicken is not touching the sides & using a tray/grill to sit the chicken on so we don't really have to turn the bush pot. It works perfectly, just like doing it in an oven which what the bush pot is practically. Miss the goats & fish. Cheers mate from Australia.
I miss the goats and fishing as well. We still have eight or nine feet of snow in the mountains and I broke my foot riding my motorcycle. I hope to get back up there soon but please be patient with me 👍😎
Have used this technique when bird hunting with a fresh pheasant or grouse, yum.
A tip, brining a chicken is always the way to go but, when you lube your pot, sprinkle some chopped or dried herbs, not a lot, and insert the bird. Also, tossing a sprig or two of fresh rosemary and some onion pieces in the cavity... really makes a big improvement for flavor. :) Good vid. Thanks!
Thanks for the cooking tips! Sounds delicious, I can't wait to try out your new methods!
I am surprised and stunned 😱 It works, it' sur incredible, I never thought that and alcohol stove can eventually not just cook but roast a whole chicken. That's really impressive and the cooking Time is also Very impressive, I think that the initial brime setup might have help to fasten the process. It's certainly lost of attention to manage to rotation and so on but the result Really worth it and you are outdoors enjoying good Times probably sipping a good beer 😉 I saw in the comments some peoples asking why not making it on an open fire? Well people have to realize that open fire is not always allowed for many good reasons. So having an option like this one is really interesting specially for a hiking or canoë trip in some parks and reserves where there is fire ban. Thanks so much Steve for this Awsome demonstration of the versatility of the Firebox products and your great MasterChef skills 👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👊✌️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes I agree with you on this Laurent Gouzou AKA Lynx1963! Thank you for the great comment and for watching, I appreciate it.
awesome, as a foodie this was very inspirational thanks
+Charles Peters Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! Try brining chicken pieces overnight and then buttermilk them in the Ziploc bag until dinner time. Then flour and salt/pepper them and shallow fry in oil for amazing fried chicken.
Sounds delicious!
Like that knife. Since I have the 14cm pot, I need to try this. Looks so good. Give Ash a love for me!
Bob Wampler Thanks Bob, please let us know how it goes. And take a look at the description, I list what I plan on doing differently next time.
Ash is such a great dog! I'll be happy to pass along some affection to her.
I have done something similar using a dutch-oven style pot on top of a home-made stove fashioned from a coffee tin and using alcohol based gel fuel with an empty tuna-can as burner. I also placed half a lemon in the cavity of the chicken and from time to time turned and basted the chicken with lemon juice. I strongly recommend a thermometer to verify that the chicken is cooked right through and in my experience it took a whole lot longer than I expected.
Thanks for the suggestion, sounds like it would work well. 😁
Steve, you're making me hungry. Good job.
Tim Raine Thanks Tim!
fine job keep them coming!!!!
+anthony marino Thanks!
Love your dog.🐕
Thanks John!
oH my gosh that is fantastic. Nice nice nice. Yummmm. Jules
+steinwaygoat Thanks!
A lil tip, use a tall wind shield around the billy because it helps trap the heat around the sides, even though there is heat inside too. I do a lot of cooking with my billy like that myself and have found it's a little more fuel efficient too.
Thank you for the tip, I appreciate it!
Steve, great video. I will be getting the 14cm Pot. Thanks
Thanks for the support, glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
не, я немогу спокойно смотреть такие видео!!! Пойду чего нибудь поем!!!!!!!!!!!! ну очень аппетитно!!!!!! ням,ням!!! мне кажется на щепочках вкуснее будет, да и дешевле, спирт то дорогой. спасибо за вкусное видео!
Thank You!
just goes to show just how brill the nano and trangie combo really is
John James Thanks John!
Nice video.
nice fire box
+Eric McNeil Thanks Eric!
Great video. Yes, Cook's Illustrated (high falutin mag around cooking, meant for pros) experimented with several ways to cook fowl (Holiday Turkey basically) and they found that salt water brine was the hand's down winner. It does NOT impart excessive salty taste unless you don't clean off the brine, which you wisely DID. It keeps the moisture from cooking out of the bird due to capillary action and heating.
Clever use of the pot and the burner, as well as the oiling up of everything. When I try this (hopefully will get to), I will imitate this way. a few bottles, a few stove parts and a bird in a brine bag are easy to put together, and this will yield a ton of food for a small group. Instant cook/hero!
Thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoyed it.
Steve I like that you cook all kinds of food on your stoves. What better way to showcase their versatility. I want stoves that do way more than just boil water. I want to be able to cook real food. Thanks.
1eyedjacksRwild, thank you for your kind comment.
Smells great especially the dog hair! Lol
Thanks, I think? Lol.
That was fun. Looked good! Those flies would have made me crazy though. Cute dog.
+Brenna J Thanks Brenna J
Great, great video in past spending several years rough camping I can imagine the sour dough bread, and cake that oven would be awesome. The brand pot I not sure where to get but is a must have! Beat that 18 hr hike with cast iron oven bet it still up there! Thanks food can boring after couple weeks get solutions! Yes did sub.👍
Thank you Stephen Mitchell! You can find the pots I use here: www.fireboxstove.com/camping-gear?page=4.
wow good job - now i'm hungry!
+Frank Hyland (FlatBrokeFrank) Thanks Frank!
Wow that was a cool video never even thought of doing that incredible man thnx
k9razz My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Awesome video !
Now you made me hungry and it's 2am.
LOL, better get a snack! Thanks!
that is a great set up. Who doesn't like chicken. Great video
dalton vickers Thank you!
Hi there from the S.W. UK Had to sub to your channel when I saw that you were cooking a chicken with a Trangia stove. Great idea and one that I will definately try next time I'm at camp. All the best and cheers for now. Neil
Neil BusbyBusby Awesome Neil! Please let us know how it goes. And you may want to look at the description of this video where I list what I plan on doing differently next time. Cheers!
Simple and to the point of a very difficult task.
+Thut moses Thanks Thut.
Another great idea.
Thanks!
That was Impressing good job.
I like the Coool camping gadgets !
Thanks Terry!
Nice ! Nice! Thank's Steve you always have good ideas, you inspire me for my summer holidays . Have good time in the wild and see more jakalope :-P
Cynthia Gamache Ah ha, you caught my little joke. On my way up the canyon a saw at least 15 jack rabbits, they seem to be on the upside of their population cycle. One was crossing the road and I thought I saw antlers ;) Cheers!
Oh my, that's awesome! I have to try this out the next time I catch and dress one of these wild rabbits. Could even stuff it full of some herbs before hand... heck, could even toss some water in there if you want a nice stock out of what your cooking! That way you could get a lot more out of small game by boiling the head and bones along with everything else. Going to check out one of those pots!
+Cretaal Thanks! You had me at "boiled head" Lol
Vielen Dank für das sehr informative Video. Da ich erst vor kurzem die Firebox incl. Dem Trangia gekauft habe, hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass er so eine Hitze produziert um ein ganzes Hähnchen darin zu garen. Top. Danke und liebe Grüße aus Hessen in Germany.
My pleasure Hessen. I'm glad to hear you're having fun 👍👌😎
@@fireboxstove 💪😘
New to your site and must say, I find your adventures and equipment very interesting. Sadly, your gear comes at a time when I am too old and broken down to take advantage of it all. But 20 or 30 years ago I was a hiking and camping dynamo!
But from what I've seen here and comparing to what was available all those years ago, your setups are head and shoulders BETTER than what I had in terms of durability and weight savings.
Going further and for longer periods of time meant doing without since it seemed my "old" gear was cast iron instead of the newer and lighter materials.
Good Job!
And to those who think they'd like to try hiking and camping, DO IT! Don't just think about it.
NOTHING will make you feel more alive than when you are outside with Mother Nature, a companion like your pooch or favorite friend or Loved One.
And it will give you MORE drive to do your job back in the mundane world, knowing you are saving and preparing for the NEXT outing which will set your mind and Soul FREE if only for a few days!
God Bless and Good Luck!
Amen! Thanks a bunch!
wow I love your table it's so cool i like one
Thanks!
I want a Jacklore more than any knife in the world, but I'm sixty-two and disabled, so I doubt I'll ever be able to afford one. Just holding one tells you there's something special about it. I may not be able to afford one, but I can still admire them from a distance, vicariously, I guess. That'll do. It's a real pleasure seeing one owned by someone who appreciates a great knife.
+James Ritchie Yes! As with all things made by hand by true craftsmen who take pride in their work!
Looks really good bro
Thanks!
awesome vid.....would like to see you have dinner with your dog...sorry forgot his name.... all and all awesome....cooking camping fishing the works....:)
Want to have some fun try a Cornish hen cooked in your baking pan, eliminates the turning and the fat will collect in the backing pan, also use a small SS round cooling rack to keep the bird out of the grease/oil. I did learn you can fill the trangia without a complete cool down. Thanks Mike
prophotos365 Sounds yummy Mike! Thanks for the suggestion!
