I'd like to see a single video where you give an extensive long-term review on all of the Minuteman stoves you have in your collection. I'm interested to see how your experience with them compares to my own. Thanks, Happy New Year !
Some cool fire pits... Cool video, brother...👍🏻 One of the best ones, was when me a buddy of mine had used a carburetor lid from the truck as a cooking surface for the campfire, when we’d gone firewood cutting... Slight taste of 20W-50... Country ingenuity at its finest...
Definitely quality products coming from these guys; I like the rocket stove a lot. If I was in the market for a fire pit/grill, I’d definitely consider this one.
Glad to see you're still making videos Brian . I've been out of the loop for about a year but prior to that watched I think every single Schrade knife video you've made . So now you're sitting down on the job eh ? 😆 Great grill/fire pit there . The sliding grill is a cool feature allowing more fuel to be added . Again , it's great to see you're still at it . I'm a big fan of your channel .
I’m a fellow pyro.🔥 That’s a great pit and great review! Like the knife, and fire building tips. Those steaks looked delicious, made me hungry! Thanks a lot! I’m going to check on getting one of those pits! 👍👌✌️
Good job Brian, it looks good and functions as well. I shared this with a friend . Your tip on the ashes was very good. The ashes are caustic and once the coating is burned off they will definitly promote corrosion.
You made a good point about the fat wood not being the greatest for taste. We did some steaks over a wood fire a couple weeks ago and my son wouldn't eat his just for the smell.
What hardwood are you cooking with. Looked like Maple to me. The bark off even an ol' Water Maple makes the best smoke flavor if you throw it on some coals. Just as a suggestion, you probably have dozens of camp pots, mess kits, plates, etc. lying around. I know I do. Think about flipping a few of them upside down and building your coal bed on top of them. It should raise the heat a little closer to the cooking grate. Another trick is to loosely fold some hardware cloth multiple times and build your fire on top of that. Looks like a solid product but I didn't see any drain holes to prevent it from acting like a big square bucket if it's left in the rain.
@@mrhalfstep There are no drain holes. Simple fix with a hand drill, if you require them - I would suggest one in each corner. Just be mindful of the risk of ash and falling embers. I never leave mine outside when not in use, so I don't have the need for drain holes myself. I always clean the ash out right away, and spray with cooking oil to protect against rust issues. I've also fabricated a grate for elevating the fire, which I simply use fire bricks to adjust the height. I get several choices, depending on my fuel type and amount, as well as just how close/hot I want to run it depending on what food I'm grilling. In addition to using the supplied grill grate that comes with this unit, I've used the larger Lodge cast iron griddle grate, and several different cast iron frying pans and dutch ovens... even the grate from my Lodge Sportsman's grill. All worked perfectly. About the only thing I haven't tried - yet - is setting up a tripod in conjunction with this pit for use with a large pot... which is definitely on my soon-to-do list. It's been a very easy and enjoyable experience learning to grill with this pit. Like all grills, each one is different, and has it's own learning curve for success - I enjoy that challenge !
@@SurvivalOnPurpose Pretty sure I'm getting this grill so thanks! Here's the best chain scrubber available: the Mono Softmesh made in Germany. Pricey but worth it. Take care.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose welded links ensure it won't break or scratch things and the links are 1/3 the size of other ones so much more efficient surface contact
I use the Lodge Logic "Sportsman's Grill" which is about the same size, but made out of Cast Iron. It's hard to find now, cause everyone bought them up when everyone went into "pandemic panic" last year around this time. It's heavier, but more "nostalgic" in use like cowboy cooking, cheaper in price, retains the heat better, made in 🇺🇸 I use mine in conjunction with the Lodge reversible griddle/grill top to have a different cook surface if I don't want to bring along pans
I mostly use it to grill Korean BBQ at Park/Beach cookouts than I do with camping. For camping we mostly use it in the mornings place all the camp percolators and vessels to heat up hot water
The only feature that's missing on this unit, is a raising and lowering feature to manipulate heating dynamics ♨🔥. Other than that, it looks like a quality grill. Kinda on the expensive side though LOL 🙄.
I'm thinking the exact same thing, which is why I'm going to fabricate an adjustable fuel grate to accommodate different fuels (specifically charcoal) for different grilling temperatures. Definitely a work in progress, and I like to change things up to my way of perfection.
Nice firepit. I just looked at it online, but when you go to the cart, add the SOP to the promotion code, it just gives you free shipping, nothing about a free package of Fatwood. Wonder why???? Anyone know the answer to that???
I checked. On the home page pf the website (you have to scroll down) it says: WHEN YOU ARE PLACING ORDERS USING PROMO CODES FOR FREE MERCHANDISE, THE FREE MERCHANDISE WILL NOT APPEAR IN THE SHOPPING CART BUT WILL BE INCLUDED IN YOUR SHIPMENT. So, you will get the free fatwood if you use the coupon code for a stove or grill.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose For what it's worth, i did go and order a cheaper version, definitely not the same, for 1/6 the price, after watching this. I'll probably mess around and practice with it while I save up (and try to think how to explain this to my wife) for this one :-D
Nice stove and review. Will have to save up though. I don't mind paying a little more for Made In America goods as long as it is quality stuff. If it is good quality it means that the people who produce it have pride in themselves and what they do and it isn't all about the paycheck. Unlike many of the yahoos that work in the drive thru part of fast food restaurants. I thought you might starve before you felt you put enough wood on that fire. FIRE = warmth, light and food.

yes it is

My pleasure!

pro trick: watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Hezekiah Abdiel Definitely, been watching on flixzone for since december myself =)
I actually watched a man cooking on one in Indiana Thursday n Friday May 13th - 14th in a KOA in Gary, Indiana.

Very nice grill!! If I didn't have the BioLite FirePit, I would definitely grab this! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you for showing this. The best grill accessory I have is a chainmail scrubber to clean the grate.
Great tip!

Unfortunately, it looks like it has been discontinued. But it looks like a great grill. The only ones I found were now well over $200
@@SurvivalOnPurpose up until 2 years ago, you can get it for cheap at Walmart for $98.00, but soooooo many snatched them up soooooo quick
It needs a great on the bottom for the wood. Good video good job.from Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
The star shaped holes give it plenty of combustion air so it doesn’t really seem to need a grate on bottom.
Oh man, that looks like a really nice one!👍🏻
It is!
i need that
Great review , thanks for sharing , God bless !

Unfortunately we just bought a new smoker grill..
Spay the grill with vegetable oil like Pam a couple of times and it's seasoned
Great Video as Always! I Love Me Some Meat!!!
Me too!
Q - Is the removable grilling part made of regular black steel as the rest of the thing? Stainless steeel is not suppose to be any good for cooking.
Yes it is. So it will rust if you don’t take care of it. But if you do take care of it it will last a long long time

Man, $300 is the only problem... that thing looks awesome though
It is made by hand by craftsmen in North Carolina using steel that has increased in price at least 300% in the last year. But once, cry once.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose in SC steel and wood have gone up 2 -4x its cost in 6months.

Very true!
What wood do you recommend for slow roasting gizzards???????
Spruce
@@SurvivalOnPurpose had not considered spruce, thought cedarplank over hickory would be nice ( we have alot of hickory)
