greenman 221 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 This is my fire pit at the end of the garden, that's a leg of venison on the spit from some time last summer. We cook out there every weekend if the weathers dry. Cooked a joint of pork yesterday, nothing better than cooking outdoors. Get a decent cast iron pan, kettle and a good sized pot and you'll never want to use your kitchen again. My eldest daughter is 2 and she loves sitting outdoors eating round the fire. Built myself a hog roast out of bits I found on the farm. It's 8' I can cook 2 pigs at a time with the heads off, hoping I can get a dexter or a veal calf on it for my 40th in a few years time. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greenman 221 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Trivet I made out of horseshoes and some scrap bar. Perfect for the kettle or the pan. Goes in with my chainsaw gear when I'm working in the winter. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greenman 221 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Sorry for the multiple posts but couldn't get all the photos on one post. This ones been on before, a grill is another essential bit of kit for cooking a trout or toasting a sandwich when I'm working. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greenman 221 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 If you can weld trivets are easy to make. I saw a horseshoe one at a show for £25. I asked the farrier when he was doing the bosses horses if he could spare some old shoes and he gave me a bucket full. I brought the spit and motor but you can pick up everything you need for outdoor cooking from scrap bins, car boots and charity shops. My hog roast is a water trough, a sheep fodder beet feeder, old drill discs, a g clamp, a length of inch steel rod, some corrugated sheet and some bolts so it all dismantles to store in the shed. Bit of time and ingenuity and we fed 150 guests at our wedding. Another good idea I saw in a coppice magazine is the drum from a washing machine makes a handy fire basket and a frying pan sits on top. Just so happens I acquired one of those from a plumber which is waiting in the shed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

forest of dean redneck 11,262 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Beautiful here this morning as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greenman 221 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 If your having a BBQ make sure you use local made stuff. Burns hotter, lights easier and helps keep a roof over my head (not that I'm ever in the house if I can help it). 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
