- Many have asked about the fire pit or grill set up I use, so this is a review of my outdoor cooking set. I have my very own portable outdoor kitchen! I explain it in detail, as well as demonstrate it by grilling some bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños from Buc-ee's, of course!

There you go ‼️
Was your fly open?
Lol 😜
Not in this video !!🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
Ha.. his fly is always open!
@@mechanic911 gotta be ready for action. lol
That is legit! Need to start selling these, hard to find good setups like that!
Awesome setup! Just WOW! I'm envious and wishing I had something like that!
Thank you. I really love it. Thanks for watching.
That's one sweet set up! Good cooking! Thanks for sharing!
+TheDanVan thank you Dan. We sure are like to see all of your adventures. Do you have a Dutch yet? If you don’t you need to come over to the darkside and get one lol.
That is the coolest cooking setup ever! I know lots of people are wanting one of those! Stuffed jalapenos yum!
+Frugal RV Gal thank you Frug. I know I wanted one for a long time before I got mine.
I bought the uprights, crossbar and hooks. After I learned how to cook using the hooks I built the firebox and swing grills myself. That way they were the size I wanted plus the shipping on the fire box was going to be $150 dollars. Thanks for watching and if you have any questions please ask.
+Sapper Gardener I actually would have made the hooks myself if I hadn’t already bought them. Thanks for the compliment I really like it.
What do you forge that pertains to open fire cooking ?
Todd Owens I have made a lid lifter for myself but I don’t think that my craftsmanship is worthy of a video
Where did you get the uprights and cross bar
That is awesome!
Thank you so much.
Thanks for going in depth about your set up! It’s pretty impressive. I gotta say that you’re making me wish we had Bucees here in Kansas😄! Can’t wait to see what you cook up next!
+Marty’s Crew: Our Family Adventures thank you. LOL I wish they would build one a little closer to Louisiana.
Buccees is so AWESOME! Seriously the one thing I miss about living in TX. Everytime someone would visit we'd tell them we were going to take them to Buccees and they would always ask why were taking them to a gas station. We'd say trust us you'll see. They always got hooked after 1 trip lol. Best thing at Buccees has to be their jerky and cake balls. Can't wait until they finish ours in FL!
@@strongsadventures the one in Canton should be close aren't you all in Shreveport?
@@LipSmackingEats The closest one to us is in Terrell So about 2 hours away. LOL and yes we have driven that far just to go there and then came home.
That is a fantastic set-up there. Just totally awesome. Can only begin to imagine the succulent meals coming off of it. Keep on rockin'! 🤟
Thanks so much! Yes it has cooked many a great meal.
wow Billy. I like that kit. nice setup. I have to look that up. I'm trying to get setup in the backyard for outdoor cooking. you got me cooking on a different level now. lol
LOL Well that will happen hahaha
That set up is awesome! Good cooking too. Thanks for showing.
Thank You! So glad Dee at Native Tearz sent you... Welcome
Good looking outdoor set up Billy ! Love it !
Thank you and thanks for supporting our channel
That is one badass cook set up! I want one! Thank You for sharing!
+Grizzlytaco Lmao it is pretty sweet. I built most of it myself. Knowing what I know now I would have built it all myself. Thank you for watching
+Grizzlytaco thank you. I really am proud of it.
Me too!
About to make one of these. I love the design. Thank you for sharing this
+David Bierley hey if you do will you please email us some pictures? We have had a few other people that have built them and we would like to make a video showing all the different ways and materials that people used. We love seeing that this video has been helpful to folks. Our email is in the description.
Wow!! Thats an impressive cook station!!
thank you. It works really well. i will be doing more cooking videos with it in the future.
I agree with you about making the hooks. I just saw your video on your setup with measurments. very helpful. Thank you much.!
Glad it was helpful! Sorry it took me so long to respond. I don't think these will fail. We are going to have a future video with some of the pictures of some of our subscribers that have built the set up with the mortification's that they have made to what I have done. Hope to see yours one day. Thank you so much ...... Billy from Strong's Adventures
This man makes some well thought out fire boxes. I love this off the ground fire box with grills. Sometimes you have to get your fire off the ground to leave no trace. Consider this man's set up.
Thank you so much Bill. I did get some Ideas from Johnny Nix but I did tweak it to make it my own. Thank you so much for your kind words we really appreciate it.
Sweet set up you have there. I could almost smell it cooking
Thank you. I am really proud of it. Thank you for watching Merry Christmas.
Nice I have been looking for something like this. Thanks
Love that cooking set up. That's the way to cook.
Thank you. I am really proud of it. Thank you for watching
Looks like a Johnny Nix Cook Set. I have had one for 10 years or so. It goes with me every time I go camping...
Thank you so much Jason. This set up was inspired by Johnny but when I built it I added my own touches to it.
Wow I’d love the idea of that out door setup and have a picnic with the family soo cool I love it bright idea my friend keep it up anyway thanks a lot for dropping by see you around
Thank you so much. Yes we have lots of family meals around this cooker .
I really like your cooking set up. Very nice👍🏼👩🏻🍳
Thank you I am really proud of it. Thanks for watching.
That is a seriously awesome set up, I really enjoy watching your videos 👍✌️👍✌️👍✌️👍✌️👍
Ricks Outdoors thank you i really am proud of it . I'm so glad that you are liking the videos . Thanks for watching .
Love it...Totally inspired. I think one minor modification would be to make a small wall of thermal bricks at the back to reflect a bit more heat maybe just a reflective board. But otherwise, its really great.
Oh trust me this one reflects plenty of heat especially in the summer. I have thought of making a smaller more portable fire pit and that would work really good for that. Thank you so much for that tip. Hope you are having a great weekend my friend.
I think that sounds like a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. I’m sure there’s no shortage of heat.
Man still love this setup! Would be so fun to cook on that badboy in the fall when temps drop down and the fire warms you up.
Yes ma'am it is really cool. Hoping y'all can cook with us sometime . Thank you so much .
Captain Hook! Nice set up. Jalapenos looked good. I was going to ask what was in the dutch, but it is chicken! Thank you for showing us your rig, Billy and Rhonda
+shovelhead8 thank you. LOL yes filmed both at once.
I love this, I would love to build one myself.. I'd also have one of the swing grills as a solid grill plate for different frying options, or maybe just have three swing grills/swing out tables. Great set up though man!
Thank you so much. I really am proud of this set up. I like the idea of a solid grill/griddle. If you would like to make a set up like this one I have a video that gives the exact detentions of mine. The link should be at the end of this video. Thanks again for watching and the nice words.
I was thinking the same to have a flat plate for frying but then when you think about it why not just use a fry pan on the grill the grill is a support for anything. A nice cast iron skillet comes to mind.😉
I like that hook storage bag. Maybe paint a bright color on handle end of the poker sound you don't loose this one. Buc-ees! Is that a cobbler cooing in the dutch! Awesome set up for sure. Good job Billy and Rhonda! Darn, it was just chicken in the dutch.
+PAPA Texas lol nope no cobbler! No cake this time either. Yeah I’m going to make a new poker and good idea on painting the handle end a bright color 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That's pretty cool, love the set up.
Thank you. it works great and I am pretty proud of It.
Pretty sweet setup man...well thought out and functional.
Thank you, yes I find it very useful
Damn ! I just found my next rainy day at the shop project. I've got to make a set-up like that !
Yeah man I am pretty proud of it for sure. I sure use it a lot.
This is awesome. After seeing it in person, it is impressive
+AOK Foraging and Adventures can’t wait till you get to use your Dutch on it.
@@strongsadventures are you sending me a set up? Lol you can wait and bring it up personally. I am so funny
+AOK Foraging and Adventures lol I’m actually thinking about starting making them.
Thanks for this one. I'm in the UK and managed to find a smith to make me one very similar to yours, couple of modifications to suit me. Ive been searching for something like this for a couple of yrars, Happy it is being made now. Thanks,
Glad we could help. That is so awesome to hear that you found a smithy to make it for you. We would love to see videos of your set up. We have been contacted from people all around the globe that have used this for a set up. As I have always said I got my Idea from Johnny Nix and then made it my own and I am so glad that someone else has done the same from My and Rhonda's video. Cheers and I hope your set up gives you as many great cooks as Ours has given us.
Now that’s an outdoor cooking set up. My husband would love this!! Thanks for sharing! New sub here.
Thank you so much. I am really proud of it. We have another video that gives the exact dimensions for anyone that wants to build one or have one built. Thank you for watching.
Just checked out your channel. Really great stuff y'all have. New friend here.
Lol my husband could care less but I'd be in Heaven! This outdoor cook station is AMAZING!
I'm totally playing thru this whole playlist. Have a nice Day!
Hey Momma B. Is this the Cast Iron Wednesday Play List? If so there are some really great recipes on that one. Hope y'all had a great weekend.
@@strongsadventures yes! They are inspirational!!😋
@@handydandycrafts Thank you so much. Yes lots of great recipes from the CIW folks.
@@strongsadventures cool!
Pretty nice grill set up. Thanks for sharing
Thank you I'm pretty proud of it Thank you for watching
Nice setup.
I have almost the same thing with some differences since I made my own from Scratch here in Chile.
Thanks. Jim
Very cool! Jim can you leave a link I looked at your channel and didn't. Love looking at the way other people make grills and fire pits. Thanks for stopping by.
You know I love your cooking set up😁👍🙏💙
Thank you so much. I am really proud of this setup. It really works great for me . Hope you and that family have a great Christmas. I really hope the Real Billy can come up and see ya.
@@strongsadventures Thank you. I hope & pray me & Mr Down Under can meet. 🙏😔🐨💙
That’s a crazy sweet setup! I was looking at something similar from an Amish guy in PA, but couldn’t afford it. I don’t have the skills to make one myself...
Thank you. Yes they can be quite expensive. I think the setup that Johnny Nix makes sells for around a thousand bucks for everything but he does sell the individual pieces. maybe you could go that route.
thumbs up and shared nice set up food looked yummy
+DriveShaft Drew Thanks I really like it and it was.
Hello from south Louisiana!!! Really cool set up thanks for sharing, just subscribed to see more!!
+Treasure Hunt Travelers thank you so much for stopping by. We really appreciate it.
I love that set up. Hope y'all had a good Christmas.
Thank you so much. I really am proud of this set up. We did have a great Christmas, Hope y'all did too. Wishing you all the blessing for the new year to come.
@@strongsadventures I'm sure praying for a better year than last.
@@rvingkeepitrolling8797 us too we haven't been camping since the last of February.
@@strongsadventures I camp everyday 😆
Wow. Incredible set up. Thanks for sharing new friend
I am very proud of this. Thank you and thanks for stopping by.
Wonderful setup you have there Billy! I think I could smell those bacon wrapped peppers; } Oh, and I have not ever seen or been to a Buc-ees… must not be in the west Texas area. Awesome upload 👍
C Dub's Journey we only hung out for a little while but you seem like genuinely sincere person. That’s what I look for in a true friend. Hopefully we can hang out again soon.
I feel the exact same way about you guys! You and Rhonda are awesome! So much was going on while we were at Lollapalooza... But I feel so blessed that we met and got to spend a little while together and share some great laughs! @@strongsadventures Looking forward to another meet up :)
You need to schedule a vacation stat to just visit a Buccees!
@@CDubsJourney pretty sure your closest one would be in Fort Worth. Would definitely be worth the trip! Or past Waco depending on what of TX you are in.
OUTSTANDING !!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS IS JUST GREAT , 👍🏼 I REALLY LOVE THE SET UP !!
Well thank you so much. We are very proud of this set up. I hope it will give so ideas how to make one for yourself.
Excellent set up brother! The bacon wraps looked awesome. I been doing bacon wrapped asparagus there the summer good stuff.
Survival Mindset thank you for watching. I have been wanting to try the BW asparagus. Thank you.
Bacon wrapped poppers are SOOOOO GOOD!
Wow love that porta-grill!! And the bacon stuffed peppers look good too! ✌️❤️😎
LOL This is my baby. I am so proud of it . Thanks for watching
@@strongsadventures I would be too! You should make more and sell them! Money in the bank!! ✌️😎❤️
That is a nice set up. Appreciate the shovel tip I will put holes in mine..
Thank you Look for a shout out coming soon
That is one nice setup!
Thank you. It does work really well.
OK, Billy. I'm in love. I've been eyeing up those cook stations for over a year. I'll get there eventually. I have really been enjoying dutch oven cooking and especially with wood. Welding gloves are too bulky for me, so I got the kevlar LaTazas Extreme Heat Resistant Grill Oven Mitts. Love them and they work great in high temps. Nice vid of the setup and cook!
I bought the hooks and uprights for 99 dollars from somewhere out of Colorado. But I built everything else. The set up I have came be about 1700 or more. I have seen the uprights and hooks on Amazon for $65 but they are not constructed anywhere near as good
Great setup. Very versatile.
Thank you George. I am very proud of this setup and yes it is really versatile.
If I may use a 1980s reference: TOTALLY AWESOME! Really cool stuff
Thank you so much. I am really proud of this set up.
That is a cool setup! Your videos make me hungry. Every time.
+Grandadz Forge lol I wish my videos made people go out and hit hot iron. Hahahaha
Grandadz Forge the computer crashed so no videos for about a week.
I'll starve
Grandadz Forge Rob we are going to Christmas in the state park in the morning. If it doesn’t become a complete wash out I will be filming a lot of videos.
Grandadz Forge been missing your videos are you ok ? Or just the holidays?
Great set up mate and thanks for run thru
I am pretty proud of this setup. Thank you so much for the complement and for taking the time to watch the video.
Awesome video and great cooking setup! Those jalepenos look delish!! Saw u on AOK's vr and glad I did. Just subbed ya and looking forward to more vids!👍
Thank you so much and WELCOME! Those 2 are great people!!
Love that set up.....Its better than mine. I better get to work! Nice job
Thank you so much. I am really proud of my set up. We do have another video that shows all the dimensions. Thank you for watching
that is bad ass. Really gives me ideas! Just need the 2 gallon coffee pot hanging over the fire now :D
Thank you so much. I really am proud of this set up. Yep we need to get one of those big coffee pots. We have had several people send us pictures of the setups that they have made. Glad we could give you some ideas and thanks for watching.
Now that's a nice set up sweet. I love to cook outdoors well liked more when I wasn't so sick all the time but I love fishing overnight cause I build a fire and try to cook. Thanks for sharing. God bless
We are definitely going to try to have at least one cooking video a week along with another non cooking video hopefully . Thanks for watching us .
@@strongsadventures cool I'll need watching or trying this weather keeps me sick lupas and cold and hot well it hates weather and I guess fat people. Lol. Have a good night.
My step mom has lupus . It can be a really misunderstood disease . My dad and she used to be in a group over here for people with lupus.
@@strongsadventures yea they told me year and half ago my life's been bad since can't get to hot can't get to cold sick all the time the Dr won't tell me nothen just take the pills which caused me to gain over 30 pounds really sicksy kidneys failed first stage 3 kidney disease then they found the lupas trying to get new Dr over 6 months don't no why they can't find mw one unless there's none that specializes in lupas but my Artritis Dr that doing she ain't nice at All. But ide love to no more to maybe fill better tired of being so tired and sick all the time
Really sorry to hear that . Next time i talk to my step mom i will get the name of her Dr.
Awesome setup!!
I really love it. If you are interested in building one we have a video that shows all the dimensions
the old gun case is a great idea
Thank You and it does work really well.
That is a sweet set up brother 🇺🇸🔥 🔥🥓 🔥
Thank you Red. I am pretty proud of it. Have a great rest of the week brother.
This just popped up, awesome!
Its Papa ! Papa Texas ! Thanks Papa.
Great setup.
Thanks for sharing.
God bless
Thank you I am pretty proud of it. It works awesome. Thank you for watching.
Nice review bud way cool nice setup for sure 😎👍
Thank you
Your camping set looks really cool.😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much. We really like it and it works really good for us .
amazing outdoor cooking friend best wishes
+LIFE SOUL thank you very much.
Thank you
great set up 👍👍
+dazzling wave thank you for watching.
I bought the same bars, hooks and swing grill years ago for my late husband. We use to watch Johnny Nix cook on his. After my husband died my daughters and their family went to a state park and cooked the entire Thanksgiving meal over the campfire using my set and my Dutch ovens. I wish I had a fire box like you have.
First We are so sorry for your loss. We absolutely love Johnny Nix and in fact he is the inspiration for me building this set up. We have a few videos of us doing Johnny's recipes and are going to do more. I actually built my fire box bigger than the one he sold. That is so awesome that your girls cooked a Thanksgiving Day meal over the camp fire. I bet it was awesome. Thank you so much Jackie.
Love this.
Thanks so much. It really works well for us.
❤❤❤❤❤ your cooking set up!
Well thank you so much. We are really proud of it.
I really like your setup as always you can tweak it to suit your taste add things take away things. Thanks for the demonstration
Thanks so much! You are so correct. I actually use one of the up-rights and one of the grills over my Dutch oven tables on occasion and it works great.
cool stuff..thanks for sharing👍
+Nataliya Jordan thanks for watching.
Love it! Thank you for sharing my man
Glad you enjoyed it! We really appreciate you taking time to comment.
That’s a pretty slick set up
Thank you I really appreciate the complement. I am very proud of the set up.
This is pretty cool deal for cookin 👏💖👍
Thank you. I am really proud of my setup.
i do those stuff jalapenos from scrath they are delicious.
Great set up !
Thanks so much. Yep the ones from scratch are so much better but hey these work good in a pinch. No that reminds me I need to do a from scratch video making them LOL . Thanks and hope you have a Happy New year
I just subscribed. OUTSTANDING!! Very nice set up. I have been exploring what type of grill I want, there are always the Weber’s and etc., building a brick or block grill/smoker, but I like what you have. Did you build it or had someone do it for you?
Again, AWESOME!!
Awesome! Thank you! Yes this was all built by myself and a coworker except for the uprights and hooks. My wife purchased those from a company based out of Colorado she thinks but that has been 20 years ago and we have been unable to find them again. My set up is based off of the set up that Johnny Nix sold but I don't think he sells them any longer . We did do a second video of all of the dimensions if you wanted to make it your self or have it made locally. I will also tag a video of a Blacksmith that makes something similar. I have thought about making these to sell but they would be over two thousand bucks to make commercially and the shipping would be astronomical. Here is the link to the one that is similar czcams.com/video/zPP3lv6Y5U4/video.html and he sells them . We would really like to go into business one day making these but unfortunately our current life is not letting that happen. Thank you so much for your inquire though.
Gotta make one of those for me. Really nice!
Thank you very much. We really enjoy using it.
Nice set up. And peppers. Yumm
Thank you. It was very good
Nice setup man!!!
Thanks. This set up really works for us.
Great setup!
Thank you so much. I am very proud of it.
Ivy's forge sent sent us your way we look forward to getting to know your channel and God bless!
Tony n Lee Ann
Anson and Gladis are some great folks. Thank you so much we really appreciate Y'all .
@@strongsadventures absolutely
Great outdoor setup. I Love those swing arms ! Spicy good !
+PREPFORIT I really like this setup it works great for us. This swing grills are super versatile. Thanks for watching.
Great setup!! Can you show how you would raise the grate if you needed too?
Not a problem. Just look at our next video. you should see me raising the rack in the newest video
Great video!Very nice description of all you have there.What brand of cast iron do you use?
Thank you so much Gregory. As of now all of our Dutch Ovens are Lodge. We have been thinking about getting a Camp Chef and a Camp Maid to do a review on. As for the other pieces we have Griswold, Wagner and a few other pieces. Thank you again and we hope you have a great week.
Hi Billy, sweet set up. I would like to make one too. I do a little welding (very little) and I have one question, what gauge of steel did you use for the base. I want it heavy enough not to rust out but not too heavy so I can still move it
The fire pit is made out of 1/8 inch plate steel. It's not to bad to move by myself but I wouldn't want it any heavier if i had to pick it up myself. I'm actual building a set of removable wheels so i can roll it around like a dolly. If i can help you with anything else please just ask.
Thanks Billy I appreciate it
You should market this!!
We would love to Craig but at this time we both have full time jobs and can't really do it at this point in our lives but thank you so much.
That think looks awesome, whats your "go-to" or favorite thing to cook on it?
Thank you so much I am really proud of my set up. Oh man that is a tough question. Well we cook Tin Foil foilless dinners on it a lot as well as Lasagna. I also make quite a few cakes on it. Thanks so much again for the stopping by and for the question.
Very nice!
Thanks for the visit. We really appreciate you stopping by and giving us a look.
Well.....Mad Nomadder didn't wait til after Christmas lol....I found a great deal on a 14" 10 Qt Deep Camp Lodge for $77. I bought some accessories, when I went, but I feel you have the ideal setup. So I'll be asking many more questions......Your firebox and grates for cooking.....I have to look all over for cooking wear....West Virginians are deprived lol
+The Mad Nomadder lol looking forward to a video about you showing off your new haul. You just need to make a trip to Tenn to the lodge outlet store. LOL bring lots of money
@@strongsadventures I'm a tad confused, for some reason I thought you guys were from Texas....Gypsy Lynn said you are all from Louisiana. My whole world is upside down with that lol Can you straighten us up?
+The Mad Nomadder lol yes we are from north west Louisiana. We go to Texas all the time because it’s only 20 miles away. We live in Shreveport. We go to Tennessee as often as we can because we love that area. Now to truly confuse you my son is a a Jr at the University of Alabama.
@@strongsadventures My mind is blown.....lol We were definitely in your neck of the woods last year driving through to Texas. I'm trying to see why you go to Tennessee so much...lol I tend to try to head west...not east lol Curious for your reasons.
+The Mad Nomadder I sent you an email
Where did you get most of this stuff? I cant imagine where I would get half the actual iron equipment, like the box, rods and hooks
I got the uprights and hooks from a website on line. You can get all of the steal from any local metal shop or a Welding shop. There are several companies on line that sale the complete setup though Thank you for your question.
Ok seriously LOVE your outdoor kitchen!!! Getting ready to start the build for our outdoor kitchen. Where did you get your box at?
I built the swing grills and the fire box. We bought the hooks from somewhere out of Colorado on a web site. I have another video that shows all the exact dimensions. It should be tagged in this one if you are interested. Thank you so much. I am pretty proud of this setup.
@@strongsadventures it is one of the coolest one's I have ever seen!
@@Adventureswithbecky Thank you so much. We have had viewers send us pictures of the ones that they have built and I love how they have modified some things to suit their needs. Video of that coming as soon as time permits. One guy is from Holland.
@@strongsadventures that is awesome! Can't wait for that one to come out. Haven't gotten into Dutch oven cooking but really want to learn. I love cooking with cast iron skillets but Dutch oven's are a whole other beast!
@@Adventureswithbecky LOL its not that hard to cook in. If you can cook it in an oven you can cook it in a Dutch.
Very nice setup
Thank you and thanks for watching
Excellent set up! What steel did you use for the firebox?
Thank you for watching. It is made out of 1/8 Inch sheet steal.
Excellent! How do you raise it up if it's flaming hot? The weight seems like it would require touching the metal in the flames. The gloves don't burn?
Thank you so much for your question. Yes the gloves really work. They are heavy leather welding gloves but this is where the swing grill comes in. You move it over and it cools a bit and you can raise it up. You can also use the fire poker to assist in the pick up it you need too. Thank you so much again.
@@strongsadventures that makes sense, thanks!
Love the video brother
Well thank you so much Kenney.
Wow! That thing is fantastic. Did you make it or buy it? You must cook for a lot of people. Now I'm hungry. 😃
I made this one for myself and Rhonda and the kids. thank you so much
Nice setup
Thank you I am really proud of it. Thanks for watching
Pretty cool setup
Well thank you so much!
