A skillet holder is the perfect camp fire cooking accessory to go with the fire irons we made previously. This skillet holder is forged from one piece and is adjustable for proper positioning over the campfire.

By far the best smith on RU-vid (shhh don't tell the other smiths I sub to) 😉. Always showing every step of the process and always making things even a beginner like me can handle. You would make an excellent teacher John, I would pay to go to CO and take a class or 2. Much gratitude for all your hard work and time to share your craft with the rest of us. 👍

Bon appétit ! I just came back from holydays in the USA, hiking and camping in the Yellowstone National Park and the Badlands, and I have to say that all the back country camping sitting by the fire or the river, enjoying these beautiful landscapes really was something... Amazing country, so much wildlife and great space, If that doens't make you want to cook on a camp fire I don't kow what does !

Good Morning , John Great Video , I Really enjoyed the way you used the forging , Making the Skillet hold and the use of a real Camp Fire setup to demonstrate how the whole device would work in a real time Use !

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

You can, but it tends to force it to align only on the flats of the bar which really limits the positioning options

@Big222Dog 5 лет назад

Nice. I have round steel bars & a 1/2" hole in the skillet handle & holes great. I think that may give your holder more friction too. Worth a try.

@thomasarussellsr 5 лет назад

Great, thanks, now I want some eggs. LOL I was thinking some sort of U-shaped bend to hang it from the camp-fire irons, but hey, this works too. The U-shaped holder could fall off sideways, but it could be added to a previously set up set of irons without disassembling everything. Food for thought.

@Cadwaladr 4 года назад

Never forged or used a forged skillet, but I have a carbon steel skillet that I use a lot. It's like made in China or whatever, but it's just mild steel, so that really doesn't matter, it's nice and thick and it heats up so well. It's way better than my cast iron, and a lot lighter, although I have some nonstick aluminum pans, and there's that difference, but I still love my steel pan the best.

@ronniekeates3349 3 года назад

You should really make a short video on how you manage to hacksaw stock so quickly! I don't think my bandsaw can hardly keep up with you!

@ravenbarsrepairs5594 Год назад

I"m more into the bushcrat/backpacking side of things. As of late, I've been thinking of making a "squirrel cooker" using a single straight upright, and the pigtail being in the center of as horizontal piece, having a skillet holder on one end and a pot hook on the other. The trick being that the horizontal bar needs to be flipped to change from one end to the other. I'd be losing the ability to adjust in and out over the fire, something which could be accomplished by swinging the pot/pan on the upright, will adding the ability to easily adjust up and down, which in my experience are more important. As I haven't fired my forge up in years, I've yet to create a proof of concept design.

@davidcarey8350 3 года назад

@mandycole21 5 лет назад

Just make a long S hook and hook it to the top cross bar and then the other end on the skillet bar and then it wouldn't fall into the fire and the S hook can also be used on lower fires ....just an idea for you
