Roast a Chicken in a 12cm Zebra Billy Pot? Yes You Can!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2017
- Hi, in this video I will be roasting a whole chicken in a 12cm Zebra billy can/pot over my Firebox twig stove. Ideal for solo trips when you don't want to carry a bigger pot or a dutch oven and weight is critical, you can roast your favourite meat or fish over your stove and enjoy a more varied camp diet! For more ideas on how to cook with your Firebox stove and roast using the larger Zebra billy cans, check out the FireboxStove channel. I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!
I did a Cornish game hen in my 14 inch Billy pot with the firebox lid clips on it last week. It turned out amazing.
Nice work! Got to love it when a plan comes together! Cheers!
Thank you! Having watched your inspiring videos using the bigger zebra pots, I just had to have a go with a 12cm. Worked better than I could have hoped for! I think it’s down to the stove! 😉 cheers, Simon.

I copied this mod to the billy can... Such a fantastic idea... I also found if you feed loop thru lid handle it locks lid on... Win win... Simon you have a fantastic channel... You video production is second to non... Inivation enthusiasm and great cooking... What's not to like... Addicted
I did a large chicken for me and some friends in a 16cm Zebra over my 5" G2 Firebox this past weekend too. I got it a tad over-done (was expecting it to take MUCH longer than an hour), but it was quite delicious. 👍
Nice one! Really hard to check how it’s cooking without the metal clips and a thermometer isn’t it! Glad it came out well!
“Simon, a bloke eatin’ chicken in the woods.” Awesome. And man, does that look moist!! Thanks for the super vid.
This has got to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen you cook
😂 genius! I can see me spending the evening watching a number of your videos now 👌🏼
Hi Simon, one tip i feel i can give is for your fire on top of the billycan. Get a sack of weber bbq briquettes; take a few with you on a camp. They are dense lumpwood as a source so burn long and hot once lit. For early or late year camping i can see this being a big help by giving you a stable long consistent heat so you can do other things whilst your food cooks without worrying it has died out etc. Great vids by the way, really enjoying them Simon.
Thanks buddy, good tip! A few briquettes doesn’t take up too much room, and much easier than keep replenishing embers! - I’ll give that a try. Cheers, Simon.
Excellent! Just bought one of these Billy cans. Glad to see they produce such good results!
Thank you for sharing this. Cooking with smaller pots is always a challenge. Well done, sir.
Thank you, it worked pretty well, I’d seen it done with larger pots, so was a bit of an experiment really! Glad you enjoyed it. Atb, Simon.
Oh my, that looks so good!!
I am mightily impressed!!
I tried this last weekend using your times and advise. It was perfect!! Thanks for sharing!! I think this weekend I’m gonna try a pork tenderloin.
Thanks for sharing Simon.
That's some nice chicken, thanks for the video. 👁️♥️🔥📦
Wow, it camed out gr8, & I'm sure it tased deliscious. Gotta tried that out w/ my Billy can & my Firebox. Fun day camping. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.
Brilliant !!
Enjoy these videos Simon. Natural, no hype, actually keen to give it a bash
Wow that's awesome! Kudos!!
I am very impressed.
Brilliant video ,I'm glad I found your channel!
Squatchburger 1 - Thank you! I’m glad you found it too. 👍 That chicken was mighty good!! Atb, Simon.
Outdoor gourmet dining at its finest, that looks fantastically succulent Simon, thanks for the inspiration I'm going to give this a try 👍🔥🍗🌲
Muchas gracias por tu tiempo, genial ahora voy a hacerlo yo , que gran idea ,un saludo desde España 🇪🇦
Turned out amazing!
Cheers, yes, I was pleasantly surprised - works well for baking small bread rolls and pastries too! 😁
This just made me order a 12cm zebra billy can, I also liked your titanium spoon in other videos so bought one similar. Going wild camping for a night next weekend so will enjoy cooking in it for the first time. cracking video as always
Thanks Nathan! Have a great camp! 👍🏕🔥
That looks soo good!
Well done Simon. That was very enjoyable. . Glad it turned out well for you.
Hi! Simon! Thanks for sharing your outdoor Chicken cooking with the Firebox stove. One thing you try next time is putting some small rocks in underneath your piece of aluminum foil to add some control to the heat inside the pot. and also that would help keep the chicken a little further off the main heat from below. That must of been fun to do outdoors there. I love cooking outdoors and it seems to make the experience much more enjoyable.
Awesome Simon!
👍
Thanks Mike - it came out well - tasted pretty good too!! 🍗
We just spent a small fortune having our kitchen 'done' (and we couldn't use it for a month - fitter's wife had a heart attack as it was all cleared out) but honestly the best times were when I had to cook outdoors on my camping stoves or on coals! I am asking for a firepit in my back garden for my birthday so I can just sit outside and cook from now on!
Looks delicious. Well done sir!
Hi Simon . I’ve watched a lot of camp survival vids but still come back to yours as they really are the best !!!
Looks great! I bought a small grate at the army surplus store and use it as my shelf.
Nice improvisation. Creative campfire cooking.
You made me so hungry. Great job! Going to try it myself.
Cheers Douglas! It’s easier with the larger Zebra - 14 or 16 cm, but does work with smaller birds in a 12. Really tasty! Good luck, Simon
Simon another awesome episode for the outdoors .... well done
+kris4362 - Cheers Kris, glad you enjoyed it - I certainly did!! ......mmmmm........chicken!
I'm only 2 and an half minutes...
Ingenious !
Thank you.
Alain
Thank you Alain!
I love this video. I have the 12cm zebra as well and have been looking for a way to roast a cornish hen. I keep thinking about the part in the lord of the rings where Frodo saves Sam's spice box with salt and herbs for a roast chicken. 😂
Excellent demonstration.. I learned something today😄.. Will tune in more.. Thank you & God bless.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! Atb, Simon
"today, I'm going to have a girl roasting a chicken..."
You've gotta love auto-subtitles in the preview videos!
Hahahaha!! Well that might get some extra views!! oh dear........
Looks good!
Thank you Carol, I was really pleasantly surprised at how well it came out - I was expecting it to burn more and dry out. Cheers and Atb, Simon.
Great vid. Will be trying myself
Looking great! Thanks for sharing, gotta try this someday😊
That looked real tasty, well done, just ordered a 120 Zebra, thank you.
Looks good
Nice! Il have to give this a go
Thats amazing! Can’t wait to try that one! 👍 good job.
Good job chef . 😋😎
Just a new take on the old dutch oven cooking I did in the boy scouts a ways back when. Looked awesome!
How incredibly interesting and awesome kudos to you!!
Thank you! 😁👍
Another way , I made a grill to fit in bottom out of Ti sheet raised 1/2 " off the base and a crunched up double layer of tin foil round the side , then you can bury the hole pot in the fire .
works a treat for baked spuds
Simon, the bloke eating chicken in the woods, terrific!!! Heh, heh. Thanks, Texas
fantastic!
Thank you - it was really good - except for the burnt bit, that wasn’t so good! Cheers, Simon
Hi Simon 👋 nice to see you again! Awesome meal!
Great vid Simon, really enjoyed it. Nice to see some outdoors cooking. Thank you sir! Regards, André / Sweden.
Thanks Andre! 😁🔥
Very good video - gonna give that a try - looks delicious!!!!
+GoFeesh 85 - It was! I’d try to lift the chicken further off the bottom of the pot though - might burn the bottom less! Cheers, Simon.
Nice. Job!
Another good one Si. Looked really juicy and well cooked
Awesome mate , I was wondering if this could be done and you've done it, cheers mate
thanks for sharing
ATB Jimmy
How ingenious is that :-)
You clever sausage. . Bravo Simon
Excellent idea with the esbit stove Simon! Works great on grouse, too! Firebox Stoves are hard to beat until we have our "burn ban" here in Washington state every June.
im hungry now looks yummy
Nicely done. I’d suggest keeping just the bottom heat source and rotate the can over time. You could suspend the chicken in the Can with aluminum slats.
Thanks! Good idea with the slats, I’d thought about rotating the pot as you suggest, just thought the chicken would keep slipping back to its original position as the billy is turned - but perhaps if the slats were a tight fit it would grip it. Thanks for the tip! Atb, Simon.
Simon, a bloke in the woods make that idea episode 2 ! Thanks again.
Thank you
love the video, chicken turned really well and yummy! :)
That was a Cornish hen, that looks great, I did not think of the Cornish hen, good job.
😳🥺😩
I’m hungry now , thanks.
Wow , that looked GOOD! That was a awesome idea, all the times I have been camping never thought of that, I always used a stick, not anymore!
Glad I found your channel today , having a blast watching your videos.
I’m a Simon, a blok in the woods fan now.
Much less burning in a pot than over the fire on a stick that’s for sure - check out Firebox Stoves on RUclips - he does a lot of baking in the zebra pots - I pinched the idea from him, but adapted it for my smaller pot! Cheers, Simon
Hi Great video but I am not clever enough to drill holes and that to adapt equipment , looked delicious best wishes :)
+jackiesmiths Metaldetecting videos - Hi, thanks for taking a peek! Glad you enjoyed it - it did taste good! Rather than drilling you could always just use the brute force approach and pry the pot supports off! If I wasn’t filming it that’s what I’d have done! 😉
Nice
Yummmm
Thank you - it did turn out well! Atb, Simon
Bloody brilliant! Thank you! (and no honey stove LOL!)
Thanks Paul, hahaha - Yes, it’s a bit of a dinosaur compared to the Firebox! Thanks for watching, Atb, Simon.
Fantastic fix to having to buy yet something else. All I'm waiting for now, is you showing us how to bake......:)
Hahaha - I can get only show you how to burn stuff, that’s how my baking always comes out! Cheers, Simon.
Pretty good :) I do like a roast chicken in the woods ! ATB - Andy
+Kent Survival - Hi Andy - me too!! Shame it caught a bit on the bottom - but I quite like it a bit charred anyway!! Thanks for watching, cheers, Simon.
I have the 16 an love it
A better size for roasting and baking too! 👍
That's looks perfect. I have the 14". Slightly larger.
Bernie Wojewski - Cheers Bernie - I have the bigger one too - it doesn’t get used as much, unless I’m cooking for more than one. This was a useful exercise to see if it was possible in the smaller billy - I was well pleased )so was Maggie!!) Atb, Simon.
Oh my God Si! That looks superb, Just bought myself that size Zebra pot. Well done Im gonna get cooking.
They are great pots! If you try the roast, is recommend using coals - even charcoal - a bit less heat, slower cooked! 👍
@@simonablokeinthewoods Thanks for that mate
Great
Thanks Scott, Atb, Simon.
Wow, that worked great. I really like the way you have your billy pot set up. I have been looking at the Zebra pots but didn't know if the 12cm was large enough or if I should get the 14cm one. Looks like the one you have is a decent size though. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work my friend.
+North Country Adventures Cheers! I spent ages debating which size to get too - I ended up with both the 12 and 14 cm - actually I got a 10 too but sold that on as it never got used!! I use the 12 all the time - it is perfect for solo use and the 14 gets used if I’m taking my kids or a friend out. If you haven’t already, you should check out the Firebox channel ‘Fireboxstoves’ - loads of great videos on the Zebra (and of course the firebox!) Atb, Simon.
Nice video, and I too am going to try roasting a chicken in my pot, the chicken you roasted looked real good .
Cheers! It came out really well, tender and juicy. Hope yours turns out as well! Atb, Simon.
Subscribed! Can’t get enough.
Thank you and thanks for the sub!! 👍
Nice improvising.
Thanks Shane - worked really well. Ideal for solo use! Atb, Simon.
Congrats on 2000 subs. Great idea for the chicken. I made muffins the same way
Thanks Tony, and thanks! I didn’t even know I’d hit the milestone til I saw your comment - lol! Muffins sound good! Atb, Simon.
Cheers I think this is my favorite of your Vids , on this side of the pond Ive always heard those birds referred to as Cornish Game Hens .. Ive done 2 side by side in an 8 inch dutch oven .. Thank you !!!
Double chicken dinner! I love the sound of that. 😁👍
@@simonablokeinthewoods I wish I could post the pic ..but I cant so I will say ,it was delicious!!!
Yummy hope it works on my new Honey stove
Nice one Simon.
Martin Outdoors69 - Thanks Martin - gotta love the roast chook! Atb, Simon.
Simon, a bloke in the woods yep seen Steve from firebox on his videos cooking some right gourmet meals, very tasty. Had a firebox for years now got the gen 2 and the nano great bits of kit.
Martin Outdoors69 - He has some great videos - clever guy! I looked at the nano, but thought it might be too small for my needs - I like the weight of it though!!!
Simon, a bloke in the woods the gen 2 nano is a great bit of kit, probably use it more then the 5” firebox, works with a Trangia burner perfectly.
For a guy eating out in the woods you damn good.
Simon, merci beacoup. The chicken looked awesome. Why u didnt just bury the billy in the coals of the fire. Have done venison , chicken and cougar roasts in the fire , just wrapped in several layers of tin foil. But hey mate, to each his own. Cheers , lovely vid as always.
Hi Simon great to find your channel - came over from +LiveSimplyFilms. Will be checking out some great tips from your channel! Great chicken cook. Tried one on my last forest camp but using a firevbox XL stove and 14cm with a trangia which took 1hr 10 mins with some rotations. You've given me more ideas so perhaps might be a Christmas camp with turkey breast, roast parsnip & potatoes haha.. ATB Stephen.
+Stephen Turnock - Thanks Stephen! Turkey, parsnips and spuds sounds really good! I love parsnips - one of my favourite veggies!! I hadn’t thought of using a Trangia burner - I guess rotating replaces the need to have heat above - I’ll have to give it a go at some point! Nice one!! Thanks for stopping by! Atb, Simon.
Great video Simon! I am a new subscriber and I am enjoying your videos. I like that you take your dog with you too! I take mine too. Very informative video, I am going to get the 14cm BillyPot for myself to try out. Thanks again and Cheers from North Carolina in the US of A. Shannon
I SHOULD HAVE COMMENTED BEFORE NOW. This has been among my 'LIKED' videos for some time. YOUR Firebox and Zebra Billy hacks have me thinking: I'd use a larger Zebra Billy and two grids inside. I'd use one to roast some vegetables under the other to hold the chicken/poussin/Rock Cornish game hen.
so tender...
Simon, have a look at electricians tie wraps, they are now available in stainless steel, these have masses of uses.
nice looking chicken Simon
Cheers Stephen! It was really good - nice to know it’s possible even with a small billy can! Atb, Simon
ของไทยมีคุณภาพจริงๆ🇹🇭
Great video Simon, i love pot chicken :D I bet that smells nice. ATB
+Bushcraft Bjarke - Hi Bjarke, thanks for watching my friend - it did smell good, but tasted even better!! Atb, Simon.
HAH! I cant believe that worked so well Simon. You've got me really excited for Xmas lunch in the woods this year now! Btw this is Alec from HTFU ;) . Great video as always mate.
Strange Trails - Hi Alec, thanks for watching mate! You might need a bigger billy can for Christmas dinner dude - i reckon a remodelled beer keg would do the trick!! It came out really well - even the ‘caramelised’ bits were good! Cheers mate, Simon.
Wow, U're like Bobby Flay, bushcraft version. Yummy L@@King chicken in 50 min is certainly a gr8 meal. Thx 4 sharing on the internet. Keep on camping & cooking.
changed from placing burning coals on top to Trying to turn the pot little by little every 5 minutes is much easier. Check it out: Congratulations on your special meal.
Nice one Simon,
I'm a new subscriber, but I have seen a few of your vids, I have a 12cm zebra, I have a tray, homemade out of the thick aluminum tray you get in the ready to cook stuff at the supermarket, and it keeps the juices in the tray, plus you can throw a few few small spuds and carrots in,, 😀 😀,
Maggie would love it 😂😂👍👍👍👍.
Yum! Can’t beat a full (micro) roast!! 👍😁
@@simonablokeinthewoods
Use a good chicken leg, skin on, has more fat, stays. moist don't use a breast it will dry out in a small pot, you also get crispy skin, give a good leg an hour or so medium heat, not to fast, you will never cook a poussin again my friend, and give you plenty of time to put in, spuds, carrots, parsnips, beetroot, squash.... hungry yet?
If you freeze meat before a trip you can have chicken up to day three, and beef /venison 4/5 may be day six depending on conditions /storage, and root veggies and squashes keep for ages, leeks, onions, hard cabbages, plus many other veg and fruits keep well for a long time, we may like to be out in the woods, but if you don't have to travel too light why live like a caveman, check out one pot cook books and adapt them,
You may have sussed I don't do MRE.
Looking forward to seeing more of your posts,
Many thanks.
Nige.
