I took some time to head out for some time in the desert to put my new Firebox Stove 5" stainless steel stove to use. I cook up some pork and chopped potatoes in a lot of butter! It was a great time out in the forest!

I don't know how this video alluded me. Just watching it for the first time. Grilling with twigs and sticks can be challenging because you really need a bed of hot coals especially juniper or sage that burns so hot and fast not leaving behind many hot coals. If I'm planning to grill and I know the wood where I'm going won't be very good I'll bring charcoal. To make twigs and sticks work you would need to build your fire way above the top of the Firebox then wait for the flames to die out to mount the grill plate. At that point if there isn't quite enough heat you can add tiny q-tip sized twigs to make a little baby flame bringing the temp up without soot. You picked a pretty challenging meal for your first time. That's your adventurous nature 👍👌😎 cheers!

[@BackcountryExposure]

Thanks for the feedback! Go big or go home right? I just got the 8” fry pan kit and excited to put that to use with the stove. I just enjoy putting new gear to use and learning how to make it work in various conditions. Thanks Steve!

[@ManuelPerez-vy9xj]

As we learned in the Scouts; flames for boiling, coals for broiling.

[@BackcountryExposure]

Thanks! Yeah I was a little quick to get cooking.

[@richbuilds_com]

@@BackcountryExposure Lots of little twigs burn fast and leave embers to cook on. Better than big sticks that take a long time to burn.

[@kimwiser445]

I just bought this stove and it’s nice to see someone else try it for the first time. I also learn a lot reading the comment section.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Nothing better than having a good meal outdoors 👍

[@BackcountryExposure]

Time for some STEAK! ha ha! Thanks Jason!

[@whatkjsaw4461]

Nice to see you smiling and still uploading to KZbin. We are going through the same stresses here in Australia, I’m one of many out of work until all this virus crisis blows over. We all have to do what makes us happy and keep in mind that this too shall pass. Stay healthy, keep smiling, thanks for sharing.

[@BackcountryExposure]

Kerri Intelisano thank you! Wishing you and all the best right now!

[@PumpkinVillage]

Have the same stove. Love it not only for the cooking but you can have enough fire in it for a little wood heat. Love that in the winter. Take care and stay safe, Al

[@ashleybishton742]

Yes it keeps you warm for hours even when its died down to embers there's still enough heat eminating from it to keep everyone warm.

[@buletpoint]

Great stove action, I have firebox stove and love it. Please tell me where I can get the frying pan /high side that you used in this video. Thanks you:)

[@allterrain]

patience... coals not flame!

[@BackcountryExposure]

Alan Taylor thanks. I don’t cook over a fire super often and the juniper was difficult to get a good coal base with. But thanks for the tip!

[@robertdepaulis5188]

Try charcoal :)

[@Chris.Young.]

With everyone being stuck inside for the time being, I for one would love to see some backyard frybake videos 🙂

[@BackcountryExposure]

I wish I had a backyard and that my HOA allowed fires... ha ha. But I will try to get more cooking videos made.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello my Outdoors friend, thank you for sharing your outdoor cookout. I like your firebox stove. Take care, be safe and stay healthy. 🤗

[@BackcountryExposure]

Thank you as always!

[@monstercookie96]

I'd have to say i'm quite impressed with how you put the grill plate on for the first time cooking. I had so many issues trying to inset my grill plate the first time that my sausages ended up rolling off of it into some sand! If you ever burn your steak again, cut off a thin surface layer of it and grill it again. Cheers!

[@sechi7239]

- How well-done would you like it? - Yes

[@brentt8590]

Always love the cooking part in each video.

[@AnabolicAsylum]

A drizzle of olive oil in the pan with your butter will prevent it from turning black and burning like it did.

[@ElliottComeau]

Oh boy. This your first time? Not a chance I'm subscribing, but that was an entertaining and stressful 5 min clip. Woof. 1) Enjoy the newly burned in venting in your rainfly because you kept stirring those coals in the stove you set up right next to your tent. 2) Adds and immediately burns butter. 3) Scraping expensive non stick pot with METAL spatula. 4) Adds and immediately destroys pork chop.

[@BackcountryExposure]

Geez, who peed in your cheerios this morning?

[@Mortzy]

I’m the same way with my stoves I get to excited and start cooking before the flame goes down lol. I once had a burger patty almost completely melt through the grill opening 🤣

[@benhikescamps]

Such a great stove. I use one quite a bit here in the UK. Many thanks for sharing. :)

[@keithramey4723]

Glad to see the Frybake again!

[@all.day.day-dreamer]

Hahahah ... everything is burnt .... hats off for allowing your video out into the wild. .. I couldn't do it. And I'm not sure your doing Steve over at Firebox any favors. Hahhaa ... this was awesome. I've literally never seen anyone cook a pork chop that thick. Also, when you go camping, you want your meals to be fun. Lean meat like that is ... not fun. I think 1" bone-in pork steaks with all that marbling would have been a much tastier meal and it would have cooked a hell of a lot easier. To each his own. Thanks for sharing.

[@BackcountryExposure]

Just here to entertain

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

Nothing wrong with a little char. Juniper is hard to work with. Nice stove. I’ve been thinking about picking up a wood-burning stove to try out this year.

[@BackcountryExposure]

It tasted awesome! Do it man, they are fun.

[@theweekendhomestead]

Thanks for the video

[@scottbutler1561]

Nice demo. I would recommend reverse searing a steak that thickness next time. The ash pan can be configured as a damper to control heat output; that combined with less fuel may improve your result.

[@gdzan_man1459]

Very sooty fire. A cleaner burn with better fuel will help. I would suggest carrying lump charcoal for future cooks. Very good heat and long lasting fire for super cheap

[@rickfromvirginia]

Great to see you cooking outdoors! Also awesome recovery on cooking that extra thick pork chop! It's what I like about your videos, honest content! Where most would of shot the video over, yours was a true experience of what cooking in the field can be like! Thanks for the video and I look forward to seeing more! Rick from Virginia

[@BackcountryExposure]

Rick From Virginia really appreciate that Rick. Just because I make videos, doesn’t make me an expert at everything. Thank you! The pork chop had awesome flavor by the way!

[@fiercepandaz]

The fire grate and charcoal will ensure great steaks, trust me

[@jonb8164]

Got that stove for Christmas a few years ago. Liked it so much, my wife got me the nano stove last Christmas. They are awesome. The frypan Dutch oven is cool too

[@BackcountryExposure]

I had struggles with the Nano, but that definitely could have and probably was user error. May need to get another one and give it another try.

[@alexmacdonald258]

I'd LOVE to have a deep pan like yours; where did you get it?

[@BackcountryExposure]

It’s a FryBake Alpine Deep!

[@larryl4881]

I've been messing around with mine and made some amazing kabobs this weekend in the superstitions mtn exploring canyons and creeks. I love my stove there are so many things you can do with it. Kind ofmind blowing from the short time I have had it on the capabilities

[@larryl4881]

I also packed out large coal chunks so that I didn't have to find wood and get a coal base going. Keep messing around with it sir and keep putting out videos on what you do 🤠

[@BackcountryExposure]

Yeah, Steve has done a solid job with that stove. I got the baking kit with it, and want to get into baking some stuff soon. Thanks!

[@larryl4881]

@@BackcountryExposure That is next on my to buy. I look forward to see what you are going to make 🤓

[@EddieErion929]

What’s the weight of all the parts you cooked with please, and what’s the weight of the whole packed kit, thanks- looked delish to me, better the freeze dried for sure.. made me hungry for pork chops and applesauce

[@Mountain_Maxx]

Those fire box stoves look so cool. It was a nice weekend to get out. Nice job man, looked like a good meal.

[@BackcountryExposure]

Wasatch Back Explorer so tasty!

[@Z0MB13Redfield]

Food like that to me always taste better on the trail.

[@BackcountryExposure]

oh for sure! Camping food is my favorite. Hope you are well man!

[@HikeCamp]

Nothing like a good char and some wood ash on meat and potatoes... Really, it is good! 👍😎

[@BackcountryExposure]

I definitely enjoy a good char. Good flavor!

[@ChefEvanOutdoors]

Can that box hold coals for an extended period of time? If not perhaps a Sous vide pre cook would help? Love too see you out and cooking regardless, keep it coming!!

[@BackcountryExposure]

Yeah it should hold. Juniper is hard to establish a coal base with. But thanks for watching!

[@ChefEvanOutdoors]

Backcountry Exposure juniper was a nice choice!! Would be great with duck!!

[@TheWasatchGearReview]

Nice lil get away. Food looked good to me 🏕🍃🌲

[@BackcountryExposure]

So good! Thanks Korbin!

[@titanpreparedness]

Looks good man nice stove

[@townieoutdoors8121]

What foods would you recommend for the grill plate ?

[@mobilewintercamp7515]

Good for you, I left Maine to be stuck in New York, basically 🙁. Keep hot tenting😊

[@gurgenmakaryan4428]

Yous dammaged the meet

[@BushcraftnaCaatinga]

Show 👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@mbikesrulee]

Where did you get away to?

[@BackcountryExposure]

mbikesrule just out in some BLM land in Utah County.

[@Motorep146]

Nice but I think Steve has you beat on the stove flip though! Stay safe.

[@BackcountryExposure]

He is the master. I tried. Ha ha

[@pahanin2480]

You’re supposed to break it in with hot dogs and trout up in the high Unitas

[@keithharris4042]

i would grill with another wood like oak or something cedar and juniper are evergreens in tghe pine family thats basically like grilling with lighter fluid. bad taste.

[@ericsidolmind]

Many a steak has chared a little too much over an open flame in the woods. Yours wasn't the first, nor will it be the last! I mean damn, I almost burnt my hashbrowns to an unrecoverable extent this morning, because I was returning an email, and I'm a Chef! As long as you enjoyed it and learned something.

[@BackcountryExposure]

Once I cut it up and had it in the fry pan, it wasn't crispy or burned at all. The char had a great flavor! Thanks!

[@thebruffy1077]

Need a thinner steak!

[@royalblue2043]

Ya burnt the be jebas out of it.lol

[@perrywong5738]

4:50 4:50

[@TroutWest]

Butter Overkill? You are now questionable. Lol. That meat was hella burned tho. I was telling the guy that owns that company that most people don't have the skills to cook with that stove and Will burn most of food they cook on it. It's challenging to cook on Open fire it takes a lot of practice.

[@BackcountryExposure]

👍🏻 once I cut it into pieces and put it in the fry pan, it was awesome and the char had great flavor. But hey, gotta start somewhere and you’re not going to learn if you don’t get out there and just get er done. Thanks!

[@TroutWest]

@@BackcountryExposure when it comes to open fire cooking you have to you think of what the natives used to do... Small fires go a long way. They used to call big fires white man fires.

[@jcoats5529]

First thing let's burn all the butter, next the meat. That's a carcinogen.

[@BackcountryExposure]

YOLO!

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

Your doing it wrong.

[@BackcountryExposure]

Wow Tim, thanks for your honesty…

[@d1ppaz]

How can you say that’s incredible lol Your chop is sooty :/ It needs to be cooked on embers not a naked flame
