Building a Finished outdoor kitchen for the off grid cabin

[@JEB2024]

This is the LIFE! Just working on your own building stuff. Outside in nature. Not stuck in an office all day long! 👍

[@blackspruce1861]

you got that right !!

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

Well after almost 48 minutes of amazing work and perfect edits and I always learn tricks from you and dave. I really think this video is Exactly what KZbin is all about. I know how much work it is to build something like this and ALSO have to move the camera angles every time you do anything. A 2 hour job turns into 3 4 with camera work. This video was amazing and so much work. I hope it hits 1 million views and well deserved!!!

[@blackspruce1861]

Thank you !!! I hope it hits a million too !! and yeah filming sure slows everything down A LOT . Really happy you enjoyed it !

[@HerLadyship-P]

Whipples are worth waiting for. Enjoyed watching. Love listening to you's guys talk. Very soothing. Saw you over there helping with Belle's Cafe. All in the family. I love how you all support one another.

[@blackspruce1861]

Thank you !! yeah she's really made a nice little coffee shop , and everything tastes too good !!

[@walkinginwatercolourswithmicah]

They are, aren't they?! Truly enjoy following Mick and Belle now. Wonder when we will get to see a family video? 😊

[@joankline343]

Hey, that is one beautiful, fancy and well built, outdoor kitchen. ❤ You've done an excellent job and it will last a lifetime. 👏 There's even room for company. 😉 I was watching a program several years ago on Link TV that they were cooking and baking on an outdoor oven, made the old fashioned way and I thought that's what you were up to. I'd like to have one of those someday. It's good to see you again. You and your brother do excellent work.

[@ROROCOLORINGBOOKS]

I am so impressed with how efficient you are.

sometimes its the best choice of action , thanks !!!

[@TheElevenBravo]

Absolutely! It applies to me perfectly. 😔

[@babaiker]

@@blackspruce1861 True! Sometimes i say "well, just start doing something and solve problems as they arise"

[@steventrostle1825]

Yep doing Anything Right means it will be more time consuming AND more expensive. Respect to " Mr Spruce" for demonstrating that and his determination to DOING IT RIGHT! I have a friend who made a very good living building decks, docks over water, pavilions etc and he was initially the most expensive service in the area but always right or if not right he'd fix any mistake at no additional charge. Within a few months of starting his business he became THE Contractor for this kind of work and he lead that community till he retired, still the highest $$$$$ but Definitely the BEST> A lesson many contractors will probably Never Learn.

[@blackspruce1861]

That is so true . thanks !!

[@michaelmartin5453]

I’m an architectural drafter and I feel like I definitely learned some things from this video. I always try to consider how to make things buildable as I don’t have much construction experience myself.

[@blackspruce1861]

Thats awesome !! sorry for the slow response . so as an architectural drafter does that mean you draw up blueprints and plans? I've been considering having some plans drawn up from my builds if you're interested shoot me an email . [e-mail]

[@buddhaweatherby368]

A well right there would be great. That said, you may just want to add gutters and a rainwater capture system to get additional utility from that new roof. There are a number of ways to customize that sort of setup and you seem clever enough to customize one to your specific needs. Great build and video by the way. I really appreciate the simple and straightforward approach on this.

[@blackspruce1861]

Thanks !! I keep going between those 2 ideas just haven't been able to commit to one yet

[@blackspruce1861]

[@jefferyrowe2648]

What a great process! Really cool that you constructed most of this by yourself, and using some scrap wood nailed in certain places to act as another pair of hands. Gonna do something like this in my backyard, so thanks for a great build video.

[@blackspruce1861]

Thanks !! yeah an there's always a way to make it easier for yourself . Glad you liked it !!

Love it. I will build one outdoor grill/oven. We call it a Dirty Kitchen in the Philippines. Our method here is to build foundations on stone slabs and make sure the logs are above the ground. At least in rural areas where concrete is not common back then. The reason is to avoid the wood logs getting soaked wet during rainy days (we have rains all year round).

If I had an outdoor kitchen that nice I'd have an excuse for putting on a few pounds. Always nice to have Dave show up, he needs one of these in the UP.. maybe add some screens for his.

Awesome job. Love all the creative thinking. Not a big deal in this setup but the male end of chimney pipes should always face down to allow the creosote to drip down inside the pipe and flow back to the fire source rather than run outside the pipe. Very important in a cabin where you sleep.
