Great little, handy little FP grill! Just that you repurposed a bed frame, Presto! Into a cook stove, for the fire pit! Genius!!!

[@gardenfork]

Exactly 😀 thx! Eric.

[@atvridah]

Now we need a recipe video using this contraption. Nothing better than cooking over a fire. Thanks for the great video!

[@gardenfork]

Good idea Dan, thx! Eric.

[@mdboatbum]

The improvement in your welding since your first welding video is incredible! Went back and watched that one after this one just to see, and the difference is night and day. Congrats!!

[@gardenfork]

Thx! Slow and steady wins the race , literally with welding. And get the wand closer than you think it should be. 😀 Eric.

[@amberjay5361]

Why did I watch this and think I could weld? Lol! Thanks for the video. I really like you! I wish I could come shadow you for a day because I’m always trying to do little things to our first home. You’re a good teacher!

[@lechatbotte.]

Always amazes me what people throw away. I love your attitude use what you’ve got. Wow nice bead there

[@gardenfork]

I’m getting better at welding. Thx! Eric

[@monicareid8858]

Anything that has to do with chopping up and welding a bed frame is extremely satisfying in my book. I hate those viscous ankle-grabbers!!! The fact that you turn it into a grill top is a bonus!!! Great video Great spirit Keep them coming ☀️

[@gardenfork]

Thank you Monica ☀️ Eric

[@joshportelli]

Thank you sir! I have been keeping 2 bed frames around for 2 years thinking I will think of a use for them. I was about to take them to the scrap yard, but now I have other plans.

[@gardenfork]

Yeah!

[@yushi911]

I live in Canada and we fortunate to have a fireplace in the living room and a wood stove in the basement. We live in the middle of the city. It more additional heating when is -20C outside and for ambiance…but what a great idea if their an electric outage to have an alternative way to cook and heat the house.

DIY is better than store bought for sure. Here's proof. Years ago, maybe 6 or 8, I built a 16 x 8 foot raised bed garden in my backyard. The same year I purchased an 8 x 6 foot raised bed garden. Yesterday I noticed that the store bought garden had collapsed on two sides. The boards simply collapsed. My DIY raised bed garden is just fine

[@gardenfork]

Yeah! Eric.

[@davemeiser521]

Nice little project good job!

[@gardenfork]

Thx Dave! Eric.

[@renenunez3404]

Man I'm going to build one like yours soon . I've been wanting to cook inside for a while

[@garrisonh]

big improvement on your welding-good job!

[@gardenfork]

I’m working on it thx! Eric

[@meurigf]

You’ve convinced me - after the sewing machine, I’m getting a flux core welder (I may need to get a garage at some point first 😆). Thanks for making these cool projects accessible. Can welding really be (almost) as easy as hot glueing? Only one way to find out!

[@gardenfork]

Flux core and mig welding is quite easy. Flux core has more spatter and smoke, you can MIG weld indoors IMO. Eric.

[@2andrea]

That's a nice grate. Most of the ones at the stores are flimsy, but that's what's needed for Dutch ovens.

[@gardenfork]

I owe you a Christmas card 😬

[@2andrea]

@@gardenfork we would love one!

[@dannydunnagan3267]

We have a lot of those bed frames around the farm my dad uses to own a furniture store for 30 years I need to get a flux core welder I have a Lincoln stick welder it does good for welding on farm equipment.

[@gardenfork]

Stick welders are great. They’ll weld anything. Thx! Eric.

[@bobd.fletcherjr4912]

🇺🇸👍👍👍 that's a good idea with the bed frame so I've been doing that for years angle iron is hard to get very expensive Bob Elkhart Indiana just don't forget when you used bed frames you got to burn it the excess paint off before you cook on it

[@AntonioMazzolaWatercolors]

This grate cook cooker reminds me of when I lived in Sicily. You would hire the local metalsmith to whip you up one of these and we’d have coals right on the earth on the property. Roasted artichokes were my fav. Good times, good times. 😃

[@gardenfork]

Let’s go! Thx Tony. - Eric.

[@welshmanjasonpatrick8607]

Great inder for cooking on wood make nice tasty things

[@gardenfork]

Thx Jason!

[@mr1pearl]

Gee I want to learn how to weld ! Nice work just like a pro nice 👍

[@gardenfork]

It’s not hard Bill. If I can do it you can do it. Eric.

[@russtex]

Great job!

[@JBLewis]

Tacking the four corners and then fully welding them might have helped keep the frame as square as it was when you checked it. Anyway, love your videos! It's almost Maple Season again!

[@gardenfork]

I’m always learning JB, thx for the note I should have stacked them. Thx! Eric.

[@hipdaizii]

How many amps does that welder take... is it on a 20 amp or a 30 amp circuit

[@gardenfork]

It’s plugged into a 15 amp 120 volt outlet. I’ve run this on a 50’ extension cord. It’s good. Thx! Eric.

[@hipdaizii]

@@gardenfork thanks for the response

[@VintageNaehmaschinen]

Great made video :-)

[@gardenfork]

wow thanks, just checked out your channel, nice! I have a 1970 Singer Sewing Machine. - Eric.

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

really cool!

[@CharlesG.2525]

I built mine at home with angle iron

[@Robertsshed]

I now know the origin of the term lap joint.

[@jodylinton4171]

What about the chemicals on the metals?

[@gardenfork]

There's paint on the angle iron what burns off quickly, that's about it. :) Eric.

[@jaynemar1]

Don’t forget to burn off all the paint toxins in the bed frame metal before you cook on it!

[@gardenfork]

Yes , we toasted it in the fire thx!

[@stevareno6995]

ist time watch. great. with all the political problems was looking for something that I can use for cooking if we got an emp and power grid collapses. Have an indoor fireplace (no bbq) and thought can use that. but it looks like it would be cheaper to buy a grill or portable stove. It would cost me more to get the equipment to build what you did + no skills + 80 year old with some physical limits. So great job and entertaining,
