While todays project is called a squirrel cooker, I have never seen anyone actually cooking a squirrel on one. Typically this small forged fork and ground stake are simply used for cooking small pieces of meat.

@ghostforge3303 5 лет назад

Again John another super project that fits in so well with the outdoors and the different game seasons. Maybe you could make a fishing rod holder keeping with the lets catch our meal and cook it too.....

@HisWayHomestead 10 месяцев назад

I definitely want to make one. John, if the stake in the ground is more rounded, you can turn the forks away from the fire as well as move it in and out. Thanks again for sharing. I’m rewatching your cooking tools playlist.

@NeilGraham.I.M.F 5 лет назад

Sweet! Love it and Squirrel is acually very good when cooked right

@random40s 5 лет назад

@markmoreno7295 Год назад

A tofu cooker? That’s a funny image and I suspect the squirrels might not mind. I’ll have mine with teriyaki sauce, the tofu that is.

Didn't know you you were a Rendezvouser! Glad to hear it! I used to do the Rondys in Granby and Hot Sulphur Springs. Lots of fun and good sales, too! My wife and I were traders until I got disabled. I want to get back into it on a small scale this year so, I will be making a dozen or two of these, some meat skewers (which I have found make wonderful kilt pins that double as last resort defensive pokers! LOL! And I have been making penannulars for years! Cheers!

Not sure how many of these I have made and sold. I use something like a fishing pole holder for the stand. Don't have to insert or pull the shaft out. Just lift and remove.

Had to go back and listen again. Pretty slick with jingle bells. Merry Christmas my friend.....

@danbreyfogle8486 5 лет назад

No tofu for me, as a kid the neighbor would bring us squirrel, my Mom said it was chicken, but she fried it in a pan and not over an open fire. Great little project.

@tommywright7196 5 лет назад

I like that video makes me hungry for squirrel

@TonyUrryMakes 5 лет назад

I’m thinking a design modification might be to leave the ring open enough that the fork can be disengaged easily without having to pull it all the way through the ring to reduce bare hand exposure to the heat source.

@Jennifer-zb4gc 4 года назад

amazing work! such an good idea :) and thanks for making this super interesting videos... greatings from bavaria

@Dillinger86 2 года назад

I saw one of your videos on FB, you clamped down your anvil so it wouldn't "ring" when you hit it.

@BlackBearForge 2 года назад

@lancelandis227 5 лет назад

I have made these but we used 1/2 in square mild steel and they are much longer.

@CharlesStruble 4 года назад

Only one squirrel was hurt in the making of this video. He was hurt pretty badly though... :-)

@kimcurtis9366 5 лет назад

It's fairly easy to use the horn of an anvil like yours to do the ring, however, those of us that can't afford a REAL anvil and are forced to use a Harbor Freight "anvil" are out of luck as the "horn" is not a horn, at all but, a screwy shaped end to an otherwise sort of usable anvil. SO, we have to use a form, a piece of pipe or whatever is handy and round and close to the right size for this operation. They work, but, I wish I could afford a REAL anvil!

Ok need squirrel

@bashkillszombies 4 года назад

For those reenactors or period people out there watching this; remember, copper and brasses were what all cookware and eatingware was made of until the last century. Which is good because having rusting cooking equipment isn't fun.

@BlackBearForge 4 года назад

That simply isn't true. There are huge numbers of forged iron cookware pieces from colonial America, forks, spatulas, spoons, ladles, skimmers, skillets and sheet iron pots. There are also plenty of surviving examples from medieval Europe as well as viking era that are in museums. If your cooking equipment is rusty, it just mean you aren't taking care of it. Treat it just like you would a modern cast iron skillet and it will last for centuries with no rust.

@ericjason5773 5 лет назад

@rockymtnrenegade6666 3 года назад

Hey John Why choose square bar rather than round bar?

@BlackBearForge 3 года назад

Square is less likely to turn unintentionally in use and people like the twist.

@tomdrazy1338 2 года назад

what is the hold down tool you are using when you split the rod? \

@BlackBearForge 2 года назад

That is called a holdfast here is a video on the topic ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Edt7QGj3fI.html

@caseyoutdoors3897 4 года назад

@michaelprue9024 Год назад

How much sir ? I have been trying to find one to buy for awhile now. I am not a black smith nor am I equipped. And any page I do find that sells them is sold out lol.

@lisacoppinger8448 5 лет назад

Do all your hammers have the same shape and design?

@rafecatchin6450 4 года назад

are you making them to sell by chance?

@BlackBearForge 4 года назад

I certainly can. A set would be $25 plus shipping. You may email me switz@mindspring.com if you're interested

@chrissanwald6669 5 лет назад

Do you have advice for how to prepare coil spring for forging? Such as how to strip the coating if you can’t burn it off and an efficient way to straighten it by hand?

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

I have never had coil spring with any coating. If you live where you can have an outdoor fire, you might just burn it off.

@chrissanwald6669 5 лет назад

Black Bear Forge much thanks
