Baking Coconut Cake On The Beach In The NEW Firebox Ultra Cook Kit!

Awesome Camp Oven System! Baking While Camping Just Became A Piece Of Cake!
I wanted to try baking a cake in the new Firebox Ultra Cook Kit using salt as thermal mass (between the layered pans) so I bought a yellow cake mix at the beginning of our Hawaii trip. After tasting some locally made coconut we realized how easy it would be to convert yellow cake mix Into a decadent rich coconut cake. I replaced the water with coconut milk and added a couple handfuls of shredded coconut. Tasted Great!
Adding the salt as thermal mass worked even better than I expected. It tempers the heat as well as regulating heat fluctuations. I was using charcoal, which provides an even low heat, but I think a small flame could also be used without high risk of burning the bottom of whatever it is that you're baking. I think this is the simplest and most foolproof baking methods I've tried. In this video I was using the eight inch Kit with the optional Shallow Camp Plate. The optional cutting board is also shown, but not used.

What I enjoy about this channel is that the videos are simple. I usually don't enjoy vlogs, but here it's like; minimalist, chill, innocent family time outdoors. No flashy music/editing, ultra lavish showboating, etc... Keep up the great work! Edit: And you get to learn a few culinary things lol

[@fireboxstove]

I am glad you can appreciate what I am trying to accomplish. Thank you for the kind words, I am glad you enjoyed what you saw. Thanks for watching as well!

[@alf3553]

You forgot the cream cheese icing 🔥 The salt was an interesting addition. I’ve tried lots of things as a heat brake, ceramic pie weights work but I think the easiest is just an air space. I sometimes use the top of a large can with the pot support crossbars for a Trangia Stove.

[@fireboxstove]

That sounds like a great idea, I will have to give it a try. The cream cheese frosting would have been INCREDIBLE with this cake.

[@mohamedparhamalawadhi9826]

Brother, you need to create a special lid for baking using top fire source heat. One that creates distance between top fire source (coals) and top lid. It should also not allow any ash to get into the food. Lastly, it will need a handle to remove. Great videos and good luck!

[@fireboxstove]

Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!

[@stephenlambert9826]

It has to be said that Steve in an absolute expert at using the cook kit.anyone buying his stuff should not be put off if their attempts do not come off as good as Steve’s at first.when Dutch oven style cooking like Steve is in this video you need to get a bit of experience so you know when to manage the heat.he makes it look easy and at first it is not 😂as I found out.I’m 36 now and 13 years ago I’d of binned my kit because I would not have had the patience to master it.

[@Bob814u]

When you started pouring the salt in I remembered the Grandpa Kitchen video where he used it for baking a goat (whole) in a pan. I tried the bisquits in my pans on my last camping trip and made charcoal. Definately going to try the salt trick.

[@fireboxstove]

You will get it with time. The key is low heat on the bottom and more heat on top! A whole goal huh? Interesting!! Thanks for watching!

[@oozietokes3115]

Amazing vid👌🏽

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you!!

[@CheezeheadChris]

I really like the use of salt idea. I'll have to try that out if it ever stops snowing here in the Wisconsin Northwoods. The subbing the coconut milk was a great idea. The flavored coffee creamers make for some very yummy flavored cakes also. Canning jar lid rings may work as a nice spacer also, but it may be too tall for your pan set up.

[@fireboxstove]

That is a great idea, thanks for sharing!! I am glad you enjoyed watching! It has been cold here in Utah as well. The break in Hawaii was super nice. I hope you can get out soon as well. Thanks for the comment, Cheers my friend!

Always wondered why you never seem to bring along bread to your fishing trips? It seems like a practical choice. It’s filling, light and lasts awhile. Is it personal choice or is there another reason you don’t bring bread?
