When I was a kid my Dad went in the backyard with a hacksaw, grinder, some hinges and other assorted hardware and a 50 gallon oil drum. A few hours later he was barbecuing chicken and grilling hamburgers. Over the years his oil drum grill was the main attraction at a lot of family get togethers. Dave, if my Dad was alive today he'd be your biggest fan.
If I ever got stuck in the woods I would want to be with you and Brook so I know I would survive. I find both of your channels relaxing and a chance to learn something. You are both so knowledgeable about the wilderness so thanks for sharing it.
Ok, now that's pretty slick. I LOVE the height of it. I'm a tall guy myself, and get so sick of having to bend over to do everything. I believe I'm going to make something like this myself.
Great Video Dave! I look forward to your videos all the time! Glad the weather is nice and you will be able to post more updates! Be radical and get outside are my favorite ends to all the videos!
Dave, that was some recycled fuel tank/ cooking stove! I like the height and your creative first meal off of it! Keep on narrating and musically enhancing your episodes. I love your guitar accompaniment. Very soothing and spot on.
Awesome video! Yes indeed 1 man’s junk is another man’s treasure, I can’t agree more. Love watching you and Brooke do great things with the new property.❤❤
Awesome video, that was so cool. And a great reminder for anyone welding or grinding on a propane tank to make a BBQ- it may be your last. Definitely need to get the fuel out of all those pores in the steel.
Super nice big cooking surface, it's always a good feeling to be able to repurpose an item, especially something that will see alot of use, great job Dave, till next time stay well :)
Wow the flames coming out that old fuel tank where pretty radical. Multifunctional 1 man's junk is another man's treasure Nothing better than multipurpose
Your repurpose of the fuel tank……..”Brilliant”! The leg spacing looked a little close together, some sort of a base that’s wider than the legs are now. Or anchored in rock or dirt especially if you have a place you will make your outdoor kitchen. Love you and Brook! Looking forward to seeing how you renovate this property, it’s the whole property you renovate not just the house. What you have done so far is great and seeing the stove you made and the food you cooked says you will not starve! Carry on! Make another video soon, I’m so excited to watch! Thanxz
(Tom here.) Dave, it's really amazing how lazy and uncaring some people can be. Whoever left that kerosene burner there really didn't care about cleaning up after themselves. What a Lazy-Butt!!!! I'm glad you were able to re-purpose it and use it for your own good, sir. A lot of people can learn SO MUCH from you and Brooke through your videos!! Thank you for providing these posts to everyone here on RU-vid. Take care and may GOD continue to bless you, Brooke, and your whole family as you continue to do your work. (Tom)
They found that place abandoned and called the guy who owned it to buy it. Dave said he didn't think anybody had been out there since the 1980's. Abandoned places are fascinating.
So great seeing you Dave, been tending to my hubby and RSV for four weeks, it’s great just hanging with you and watching what you’re up to. So good to just relax and watch. Tx Dave for taking us along, very relaxing!❤❤❤❤
I love cookin on a wood stove outside. I got a stove given to me a few months ago and it lives outside. I have a fire going almost nonstop, so its always ready to cook on.
I went to Costa Rica with Brooke and we made hand-made tortillas on similar kind of flat big top. That farm made the best home grown and fresh hand ground coffee ive ever put to my lips. Tell Brooke to bring the tortilla dough and salsa her next trip up to the UP cabin. Gotta break that in properly on a Taco Tuesday. Eveyday is taco Tuesday in my house. Maybe see what porcupine tacos taste like. 😂 salsa and sour cream, guac...probably all tastes good!
Maybe it's just me, but it looked like the stove was working fine. I wouldn't sacrifice the cook space on top to put in a bigger pipe, unless you are planning to bring it indoors in the winter. Or you could vent it with a bigger pipe off the back side and not have to do any trade-off with space. I love all that great space on top, and I wouldn't lose an inch of it if the stove works well as is.
Perfect timing for me. Been needing to build a dirty kitchen on my property. Taxes are killing me so trying to cut costs where I can. Have unlimited wood on land. A large square fuel tank has been laying on part of the property for the last 20 years or so. Never got around to hauling it off, so glad I didn't. Thank you for my new woodstove.
That's definitely a great idea. You're able to cook for a large group in a very timely manner while everyone is enjoying the campfire. All you need is a little area with a covered roof and Bob's your uncle!
Another AWESOME video!! You amaze me! Can't wait to see the cabin refurbishment project. I'm always so happy when you put a video out (and Brooke, too!)
