This is HEAVEN, forget the eating, I am talking about the prep! smell of wood smoke, that beautiful potjie pot and can one be any closer to nature! This is what we have been missing! enough of video games, going out to expensive restaurants to eat, this is it!
Philip Truitt She never stops. Always on the go. I wish I would have gotten a video of me sharing with her, but Momma had called her in to take a break and get a drink.
No Problem,,👍👍 Rewatching the video. Just got your reply,,, I also Noticed your Pathfinder logo on your hat and bag,,👍👍👍. Iam new to the Potjie pot cooking.,, any instruction would help,,,, Excellent backyard environment,,,, Joshua
Nothing real special about cooking with them. I would just caution buying too big of one and with all cast iron be careful changing the temperature too quickly. For example cooking out in the Winter months can be challenging.
Looks absolutely fantastic right down to the rustic preparation like using an ax in the place of a knife and starting the fire with char-cloth as you go from a spark to a flame - priceless. I do not know if you would agree but for me cooking in "The Outdoor Kitchen" makes food taste a couple of notches better. You need to know what you do though and you do. Great post. Is this in SA please? 💖
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes for me the outdoor cooking tastes so much better with the added wood smoke flavor. As for your question about it being in SA, I don’t know what that means. Sorry. If you can explain it to me I would be happy to answer. Thanks again.
@@odelloutdoors3424 Well that is more my fault than yours and sorry bout that. SA is for South Africa. I was asking because you got the traditional South African name for the cooking vessel as well namely - "Potjie". Many just call it a cast iron pot.
Just seeing this comment. Sorry about that. I was going for more of a chill relaxing video rather than instructional one. Maybe I should remix it with some voiceover.
What size potjie is in this vid? How many pounds was the chicken? I'm trying to figure out what size pot to get because I'm wanting to roast a chicken over the campfire. The chicken I've got is 10 lbs. It's like a mini turkey! Approx how long did this chicken roast? Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for the questions. My Potjie is a size 3 which is between 8 and 9 quarts. That’s a good size pot to serve at least 4 people. The chicken in the video was probably 2-3 Lbs I would say and doesn’t take long to cook in that style pot because the steam being generated inside kind of circulates around. I’d say around 2 hours if I had to guess. That was a few years back. Hope that helps.
@@odelloutdoors3424 this was by far one of the most excellent chickens I've ever cooked! I did a brine for mine first using similar ingredients, then used a portion of that brine to put in the bottom of my potjie while the chicken steamed/roasted. . top notch!
@@saraheskola Very cool. I’m glad it worked out for you. And glad you reported back. That makes it worth while to make videos when it encourages others to give it a try. 😊
Broken Branch Outdoors and Homestead We gotta meet up sometime to enjoy a cookout together. I’m sure you could show me a few tricks to make it taste even better.

Awesome! I truly enjoy watching the cooking process! The cast iron and hardwood fire make an unbeatable combination! The dog makes the video!

That looked amazing! I'm sure it tasted great. I may have drooled a bit : ) Thanks for sharing.
Just now seeing this. 🙄 Lol. I drooled a lot waiting for it to finish cooking. 😂
Oh my goodness that looked good. The pot is sweet as well. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for watching Mark. The shape of those Potjie Pots lends itself well for cooking like that.
No Problem,,👍👍

Looked great. How long did the chicken take to cook?
David A. Blake
I’d say total was about 2 hours. That process basically steams it.

@@saraheskola Nice. Let me know how it goes for you when you do.

Oh it was. Thanks Adam. I appreciate you watching.
How did you get hold of a potjie pot ?
I don’t remember for sure, but I believe it was off EBay
Well damn.. that looked good brother.
Thanks for the video
Eat Carbs Outdoors
It was pretty good. First time I tried a whole chicken.
how many qts in this cauldron?
Sorry for the late reply. I never got a notification for it. It holds a little over 8 quarts.
That was a great video babe!

Hey thanks gorgeous. 😊
What size is this pot?
Marilynn Jordan
It’s a 3. I’m looking to get a bigger one someday for large gatherings. This one is great for a family of four.
this is awesome, the only thing that i wondered was, why cut your veggies up with an axe when you have a perfectly good knife on you lol
Because I can. Lol. Most hatchets and axes aren’t sharp enough to do that with. I keep mine sharper.
will dinner this this supper.
Lol. Yeah I know different regions call it different things.
Now that's looooking goooood..

Why not just use a dam lighter ffs
I was trying to educate people on other ways of producing fire. Unfortunately not everyone is willing to expand their knowledge base.
