building an outdoor kitchen for my off grid cabin 

Thats a good rule to follow !!

You said survivor of the great depression 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I always clean my craftsman tools after working on the car. I just use 91 percent alcohol and they clean up good. I like my tools clean before they get put in the tool box. 73

Yes they will....I too learned from that school !

That is exactly what my late father used to basically say: The job is not complete until the tools are cleaned up, properly stored where they belong and the shop is clean.

Thank you !! short of entering that specific trade its the best way to learn

Totally agree. Sub'd as well.

Very nice! I’m going to build an outdoor kitchen this summer. It will be made entirely of adobe. Have already over 90 9x7.5x3 bricks made all by hand. Using the clay soil and arroyo sand for the bricks. Will use your design or very similar. Good work!

I will never earn your respect 😂

Does LEGO count?

Awesome !! thanks!

Thanks !! It’s a pretty nice way to get away from the rat race . I’m putting the finishing touches on another video right now I built a smoker / oven to go in the block grill

Only an American would come out to woods and bring blocks and concrete to make stupid burgers. Foundation and all... Dear Lord...

He did a wonderfull job And you just wish that You could taste one of Those burgers 😎🤘

@@mobilnistudio AMERICA FUCK YEAH. (eagle screech) are you jealous of my freedom and burgers?

Us Americans do it BIG! ​@@mobilnistudio

Well that’s good enough for me then 👍

😂😂😂

👀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 I was laughing my butt off giggle and saying you just wasted all that cement

@@pammd-b8811 oh you’re talking about what fell of the sides lol yeah I’m no bricklayer lol

Good enough for government work means it will work for the intended purpose but it isn't high quality work. Kind of like...well...the government.

That awesome!! Thank you!!

I fully enjoyed the sounds of nature and the work being performed, no annoying music thank you sir

I know I Hate annoying music in people's videos.

Thanks I'm happy you enjoyed it !!! and thats the way I felt about it too .it was a really fun project . I've had a few people ask why didn't you just buy a grill which makes me think why would those people watch it if thats their mind set just doesn't make sense .

I'll bet this one last a lot longer than a store bought one!!! Amazing work!!! I love your beautiful pup !!!

10.28.2023. Not cheaper than stores now.

thanks! I'm hoping to get another video up cooking on it

awesome !! I think you'll enjoy both the build and definitely using it

4 sure 👍

Inspire a savings account instead.

How's it coming?

Thank you!!! I feel it’s much better to be humble than pretend to know it all and constantly get called out by people that do know what their doing. I’m really happy with how it turned out. Thanks for subscribing I’m happy you liked the video and glad to have you along ! I hope to have more videos coming soon

@@blackspruce1861 you’re awesome!!!! Keep up the good work. I’m a loyal fan and am very impressed with your skills. Forget those that try and put you down. “ They” are the unfortunate ones🤙🏼🏆

Damn i want a burger.

I have since lined the right side fire box with fire brick , haven't done a roof yet but considering how I want to do it . Thanks!

That’s awesome!! I’m glad you liked it some much

Thanks that sounds like a good idea . I've heard just a thick layer of clay can do it too

Bare concrete + hot fire = boom

Good advice I learned from both of you thanks

Thank you !! lol . I'm sure you could learn if you want. I'm really happy you enjoyed the video !!

Thank you !!! it wasn't to bad your boys will probably enjoy it

😂😂😂

I used to find myself more attached to stuff until i learned how to make it myself - now I think 'even if i lose X, i didn't lose the skill i learned to build it'. I had to move recently and leave a lot of stuff behind and the stuff I made was the easiest to let go of because it was a result of skill I STILL had rather than the result of $ i paid which I'd have to re earn to rebuy.

Thanks!! I'm pretty happy with it ,and thanks for the sub

Anyone that comes outside of their comfort zone to try to create/build something we should have respect for ( I know I certainly do) It's saddening to see that some not all, will make every attempt to suck the joy out of another's efforts to create something out of their hearts desires. Please, please, please, keep commentaries respectful. I enjoyed your video and admired that you created such a kitchen..please enjoy it to the fullest ..The burgers look very delicious.. My attempts at fish cakes this morning failed. I wound up with "Fish Hash"..lol.. have a great time ...

Thanks ! They were awesome ! It’s pretty fun to cook on

I hope you gave Charlie a burger for helping fetch the kindling. Nice job on the kitchen.

thanks!! I'm happy you enjoyed it !

I should have got that on film . He got his own patty . he always gets a share

thanks! that's what I though just do it it can't be that bad . I don't think I would go that route for a basement but something small like this why not

awesome glad you liked it !! oh yeah every time someone mentions it I want to go cook a burger LOL . Thanks !!

Thank you !! it was pretty tasty !

That is awesome! my dad has a block grill too its quite a bit different but I've always wanted to make one too. you're very welcome

oh yeah love that bacon !!

Thanks !! I'm glad it made it there too , I'm hoping it lasts that long

That’s awesome thanks!! I’m just happy everyone’s liking it so much

I’m glad that’s what you got out of it because You definitely can ! Thanks

Thanks!!

LOL thanks !!

Thanks! he's my buddy and such a good dog

Sweet you should build one , it was a fun project!! I’m actually in the middle of building a pavilion over it I’ve got quite a few ideas that I think should be Pretty cool !! I’m really excited for this one . Hoping the video will be up in a few weeks

@@blackspruce1861 I already have most of the stuff laying around the farm, leftover from other projects. It would only cost me cement! Move over Weber!😂😀

@@barbaradoye1989 heck yeah !!

lol Thanks !! I’m building a sweet pavilion over it now . I’m thinking it should end up being a really cool setup . I hope to have that video within a few weeks

Thanks!! A pizza oven would be great too

@@blackspruce1861 :)

I have been thinking about possibly buying a sheet of thin steel cutting and bending it into a three sided box that’s an inch or 2 smaller each way then drilling a few holes on each side putting some bolts through as spacers to hold it in place

Mix some fireclay with mortar mix and coat fire area with thin layer of that mix. Check with masons or bricklayers in your area to get ideas on how to do that effectively. Man, that burger does look good!!!

Thank you !! , I couldn't agree more . I'm building a pavilion over it now hope to have that video up in a few weeks

thanks he sure is !!!

Thanks!! sorry I had no idea you were hungry lol

Thank you !!!

well thank you thats a good way to look at it

That’s awesome! Thanks !!

Thank you !!! It really is nice to build your own place because you know its new and you know exactly how it was built and you can plan it the way you want it . also the grill is really fun to cook on !

Thank you !! that would be very nice . it may be something I do at some point . greetings

Thanks I'm really happy you enjoyed it !! that does seem a bit odd maybe google is helping you plan your retirement .

awesome Glad you enjoyed it!

It sure is a nice way to relax

Thanks !! I agree if you don't have a good footer its not going to last well . thanks again glad you enjoyed it !!

Thanks!! I did invite you guys was last minute but ok I’ll get you a rain check

awesome thanks !!

thanks !!

thanks! I was so happy I had a lot of left over water . I should never have done that so close to the truck .

Thanks!! It sure does feel good firing it up for the first time, yeah it was a really good burger

really !! that's awesome thanks !

thanks ! that's great kinda what I was going for , me too he's my buddy!

cool . one guy commented that he built one very similar and used liquid nails to hold it together. I enjoyed building the table . it was nice and simple

Thanks!!

me too he's my buddy !! thats awesome , you should check out the rest of my channel I have a couple more videos on this out door kitchen and several cabin videos that might be right up your alley . thanks watching I'm really happy you liked it !!

Thanks !

It sure is !

Thanks Beth !

Thanks !! I really enjoy cooking on it too. That sounds like a pretty good idea I'll put some thought into it

awesome !! those onions looked real nice on camera lol . sure was a good lunch ! thanks !

Thanks !! makes me want one almost every time I get a comment on this video lol

Thanks !!

That’s awesome congratulations on the new land ! Winters not the time for masonry work but once it’s built you might find you like cooking outdoors in the winter too I’m really finding that I enjoy it a lot. My last video we cooked breakfast and dinner on this outside had a great time!

Congrats! I thought the same but found a shed we can convert on rent to own. Just thought I’d let ya know in case that is something that would work for you and your family.

@@elizabethturpin2562 Thanks for the advice! There is actually a building on the neighbouring property that looks like it could do for a while, if the owner would let us rent it, as it's literally ten metres from the boundary of our property. Since the purchase is so recent, we haven't had a chance to even meet them, but certainly that's one thing I will be looking into.

@@JakubMMajewski Good luck and God bless with everything!! :)

@@elizabethturpin2562 Thanks! God bless you too!

Thanks glad you liked it!!

Thanks!! really that's cool all I remember are the post style ones

Thanks!! he's such a goof ball

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video !! I really think you'll enjoy it I know I do .

Thanks !!

Thanks !! every time someone comments on this video it makes me want to go cook some burgers on it lol .

Thanks !!! man I wish I would have known that I could have had it done in no time using that method . I believe it I'm really enjoying mine too . it's like cooking over a camp fire without having to get so low to the ground.

@@blackspruce1861 not to worry, you did a fine job. I suspect using mortar and quick Crete to fill the voids was more cost effective. It took, iirc about 12 tubes...the sand was free from the creek. Regardless, I know you're enjoying it, I know I have enjoyed mine. Best of luck in your endeavors.

@@jimmywalker2429 it might have been but I bet glue would be quick

Thanks! and Charlie definitely got a burger .

Thank you!

he sure was !! thanks !

Thanks! It was very tasty !

Thanks!! honestly other than pouring concrete nobody really taught me any of the other stuff mostly trial and error learning . thanks glad you enjoyed it !!

that would be a cool surprise for sure !! .

I 've been thinking about doing that

Exactly,i have seen big explosion if over concrete,its very dangerous

Thank you !! that's awesome you're building yourself a cabin I would love to see what you built . yeah it really is seems like sometimes you just have to stop thinking about how you're going to do it and just get started . I'm more than happy to share I'm glad you enjoyed it . No thats actually a knife I built . back when he was making knives he asked me if I wanted to start a knife shop together and it sounded great so I started making knives too and I really enjoy it . we didn't end up doing that because I think it was Brooke that wisely reminded us that going into business with family or friends can potentially ruin that family or friendship . and I think that was really good call I wasn't ready at the time . But yeah it's one of mine all the knives I've used in my videos are ones I've made . I think I'm going to make some kind of chiefs knife for more cooking videos. well hey thanks again and I'm happy you're going for it on your cabin very cool.

@@blackspruce1861 ... A big hang-up for me was "location" as I'm not in a heavily wooded area of Michigan. I do have a North-facing view of a woodlot, though ... really nice colors this year! I'm really happy with my first attempt, and I can already see how I'd make it better if I ever do find a more backwoods location ... but the heat from my wood stove should feel just as good this winter here as anyplace else :) I'll have to send pictures of my progress sometime. Later, my friend!

Yes! Thank you!

LOL well it did still serve its purpose of giving me a level surface to screed my concrete from

@@blackspruce1861 Just make the concrete thin enough and itll level itself out. I learned that over the years. 🙂 Whenever I have to pour a concrete slab today, Im making my life a lot easier and simply dig a hole and fill it with thin concrete. Anyways: Your outdoor kitchen came out awesome! Watching your video made me want to build my own. 🙂

Thanks! . yes it does work . when you are getting the fire going without the griddle on top it does nothing , but when you set the griddle over the fir it starts to draw . I do think it would draw a little better if I would have had it even one block higher though . still it does keep a lot of the smoke out of your face . oh yeah it was a good burger for sure

"One block higher" Hello NASA?

Thanks! I was thinking of that or maybe some clay .I might do a roof but still a little unsure if I want one. oh yeah it smelled and tasted great .

@@blackspruce1861 You will definitely want one when it rains.

Thanks !! the trades definitely seem to carry over to others a bit. I'm glad you liked it !!

Awesome glad you enjoyed it !! thanks !!

Oh man it was really tasty!! Thanks!!

Thanks !! I will have to get a charcoal chimney quite a few people have said it tastes better without the lighter fluid . I've got to find out

@@blackspruce1861 yes definitely get yourself a charcoal chimney

@@blackspruce1861 get some cowboy charcoal. It doesn't have lighter flyid in the coals either, and tastes fanrastic. You won't do the briquettes after trying the cowboy brand

@@anothersomebody8195 I’ll have to see if anyone around here sells it I don’t recall seeing that brand around

@@blackspruce1861 I got mine at an ace, but this store tends to stock brewery stuff too. More of the specialty products. Just buy something that's lump coal. I never knew briquettes tasted nasty until I tasted what lump coal is like.

Yes that griddle is pretty awesome . I put a little butter on it and hardly anything stuck to it . super heavy duty I bet it weighs probably between 15 and 20 pounds. I agree fire brick would be a good idea , but I was on a bit of a budget . I think having a layer of solid block on the bottom and sides of the fire box will be sufficient for a while I don't think the cinder blocks will get a lot of heat being under the solid block. I definitely should have used refractory mortar but at 50 bucks a bag I wasn't buying it if it breaks I will upgrade later

Well thanks !!

Thanks I'm really happy you liked it !!

Thanks !! the company is called MMMUSA

Thats great !. I don't remember the amount of any of the materials. its 2'x4'. I think I went 4 rows high of 8'block. Really it might be nicer if it was 1 row shorter, that would depend on how deep in the ground your footing is. I think around 15 4x16x8'' solid block the footing has to be a bit bigger than 2x4 2'6''x4'6 ''would workaround 9 bags of redi mix for that . a bunch of 2x4x8 standard block and some mortar I used a redimix style for that too. found the grate on amazon . the griddle is MMMUSA

Awesome thanks !! glad it helped

Me too I really can’t stand listening to a generator

Thanks !!!

Thanks! it was pretty tasty too !!

I could see that use the rocket stove for boiling water and cooking with pots . cool idea . I've been thinking of maybe putting a roof over it this summer

Thanks!!

it really is nice to have ! happy to share I'm glad you liked it !

Thanks !!!
