Perfect wood fired pizza at the out door kitchen and making maple syrup 

Thanks it was pretty good I’ve got it figured out now

Thanks ! That’s a good haul for syrup . I think you’re right a rocket stove would be pretty nice for boiling sap too

Thanks !! oh Charlie loves some pizza

I can see why its expensive takes a lot of fuel to boil it down it sure is good though

hey thanks !! its good to be back I've been busy with other stuff hopefully I can post more regularly . awesome I'm sure you'll get it right !

I don't know if there is a right or wrong for height of the taps I just did it so I didn't use as much of the hose .

Thanks it worked really well this time .They do hold heat nicely but the main reason for the fire brick is concrete blocks can't hold up to hours of intense heat they will crack so it makes a bit of a barrier for them . it did smell pretty good ,when I went for my walk I could smell that the sap was burning from half way back lol but it still smelled good . pretty fun time I'm glad you enjoyed it

It sure was a good day . it's fun isn't it . the first time I made it I was amazed how it seems like the homemade stuff over the fire has a natural buttery flavor to it just delicious

Thanks ! me too you just have to figure out what went wrong and make some changes

Nope I don’t mind at all . The cabin is just a getaway spot . I have a normal but small house I worked building electrical substations until I had everything paid for . Now I kinda do my own thing building bit here and there RU-vid and now selling knives . Living totally off grid I Think would be awesome but I would have to find the right piece of land to want to start over pretty happy where we are . And now having the cabin it’s a pretty nice way to kinda check out

thanks !! it was the best one so far . that would be funny I sneak out there build one while they're not around lol . probably not a great idea

Thanks !! yeah you can't wander off while its boiling for too long lol . happy too glad you liked it .

I am amazed at the amount of sap that you ended up with. How long did it take you to collect that amount?

thanks !! it was out of a bag lol sorry

Oh nice, I was over in northern Wisconsin a couple months ago.kayaked the wolf river . I just don't leave anything out and try not to spill anything , doesn't mean they wont still check it out but I don't know how you would stop them

that could be !

Thank you !!!

well I takes a few days to fill a bucket but I did wait a little too Long to boil it I had a few more bucket full sitting on a nice pile of snow to keep it cool then it rained one night the snow melted and my buckets tipped over lol . the pizza was delicious !!

I know I should have waited a few more minutes but I wasn't sure it would get much hotter next time will be better yet

Thanks it must have been a success If I made you hungry😁

Thanks !! the syrups not really that tricky you just can't wander off for as long as I did lol .

Thanks !! it's a fun project

Thanks !! I was pretty happy the change worked I might tweet it a bit more but much better than the first run. I do feel pretty fortunate to have them making syrup has become one of my spring traditions. Thanks again I'm happy you enjoyed it !

thats how you make maple syrup yes . the sap runs in the spring as the trees are thawing out. you boil it down a bout 40 gallons of sap will give you a gallon of syrup .

thanks !! really thats awesome what do you have in mind

@@blackspruce1861 what's a good way for us to talk about it

LOL not poured on pancakes

Maple syrup water

thanks !! I was pretty bummed but you win some you lose some . had I just added more sap and filled the pan before I went for a walk it would have been fine .

Thanks !! That’s awesome ! You might want to line the fire boxes with fire brick to make your blocks last longer

@@blackspruce1861 That definitely makes sense.

Thanks !! it sure was . I'm really happy you're enjoying them

Thanks that makes sense you cut the pizza on it you get a mess .

My pizza stone shattered after many years of using it, you shouldn’t remove it from the oven until it is cold, the slower it cools the better. But since mine shattered I switched to a plate of 3/8” thick steel my buddy cut to size with his plasma cutter. I seasoned it just like a cast iron pan. Less sticky and it should last forever.

Thanks you too!!

Thanks David !! It was very tasty felt pretty good to figure out how to make the oven cook right too

Oh yeah !! It’s so much better homemade over a fire

thanks !! thats quite a move MA to France . it's not super cheap in michigan about 10 bucks for a pint I believe .

Yes we’re brothers

one is an austarilian Shepard mix the other is a corgi pitbull mix. I can't remember if both dogs were in this video

It was pretty nice thanks !!

Thanks !!

It is pretty enjoyable !

yeah pretty close I guess

Thanks !!

I’ve never cooked over that might work nice I usually use hardwood

@@blackspruce1861 Sadly we don’t have hardwood around here

Thank you !!

Thanks I’m just finishing up another one today

my pleasure I'm glad you enjoyed it !

thank you !! I'm really enjoying cooking with it

they're just fire bricks from Menards and blocks from the same place

Thank you !!

same here syrup season is great I hope to put a little more time and effort into it next year . thanks I have a couple more knives that I need to finish the handles and getting ready to start a new one today . I've never seen a square pizza stone thats different . I wonder if it would make any difference in how it cooks if you put tinfoil on the stone between it and the pizza so you never have to scrub it clean , I've been thinking I'll try that next time . thanks! and you and yours as well

@@blackspruce1861 ... The stone came with a wooden pizza "spatula" (I forget the actual name of it) and I'm planning to try cooking with it on my tent stove top (with a lid). REALLY want to try the wood-smoked baking style for myself, though! Later, friend :) P.S. ... I've heard from those who've used a cooking stone that they're like cast iron ... once "seasoned" they cook better, but never wash them or they lose their non-stick qualities. Mom had one that seemed to really work well and had a kind of "character" that got better with repeated use. Hope that helps, Ryan :)

@@gosmoothgolight7567 no kidding I already washed this one a few times I guess I’ll try to build up a season on it

Thanks I made it . I’ve been making them for a few years just one here or there mostly but I’m starting to make a lot more now that I have more time . The copper and brass are loveless bolts pretty cool hardware to work with you can get them I think in copper brass and stainless and you can mix and match however you want. opening up that heat Shield was key the fire just needed to breath better I think I might drill a few more holes in the air intake and it should be about right . I’m thinking I might film a knife build start to finish next

@black spruce I had a feeling you were making them, saw some of the equipment in your shop in another post. Put me on the list for one. Love to see a knife build as well.

@@joshkelloggKCR awesome maybe I’ll have to come up and hit the au sable with you and bring a bunch up so you can check them out I totally forgot I bought a canoe last fall it and old fiberglass Mohawk in rough shape but if floats . I actually bought it for a restoration project but haven’t gotten to it yet

@black spruce heck yeah, soon as it warms up. I think the water is about 34 deg right now.

😁👍👍thank you !

found my answers in your other videos!:) I'm going to make the same one, but will use fire bricks right from the start on the top.

good deal . I was going to share both videos with you but it would only let me do one at a time then I couldn't find your comment again after I replied the first time . good plan the fire brick will make it last longer for sure .
