Thank you, you're a life saver! Always love cooking over a wood fire, but was always afraid to run out of fire and have to stop and start...your layers of heat method I will never forget! Thanks again!

[@PaiviProject]

Hey, I though all this was great. Your food looked mouthwatering 😋I am drooling. We are moving next year and I am finally goint to have the firepit I always wanted. It is big enough to do some cooking. I need one those those racks you got. I can't wait to get to try one day. This old gal have big dreams and this is one of them. Thanks 👍

[@isthisforest-cookingandbus8150]

Very appetizing. I would always cook in the yard. Special taste.

[@andrescolintv]

This was the best fire pit cooking master class I’ve ever seen. Thank you sir!

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@andrescolintv]

@@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen any chance you’d share a link to the “cheap camping grilling grate” you’re using in this video? Just ordered one from Amazon but seems way too small

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Sure! www.amazon.com/dp/B000P9F092/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_4AAMERVSQPQS9EV84PQ1?th=1&psc=1

Well done, good pointers! Thank you!

As a South African, I was rather amused watching the American take on what we refer to as a 'braai' (pronounce it like bride but with a silent d). We don't cook vegetables on the open fire like that, but if we had to, we'd make a new fire again for the steak as a steak must have a very hot fire. The wood must be freshly burnt to embers and then the steak is placed on the grill to cook. 4 minutes per side and you're done. Any longer than an 8 minute cook time will take the meat to overcooked. Aim for about 125 degrees F internal temperature for a nice medium-rare.

Cooking over fire isn’t foreign to America

[@davidperkinson864]

Great video and great detail! Thank you!!

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Thank you!

That corn looks amazing, i always flame grill mine. Boiling corn in water is just a no no. Great video, i love fire cooking.

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Thanks! We are glad you enjoyed it.

[@dustinsonnier5602]

How come boiling corn in water is a no no 🤔

[@Breitman123]

Great video 👊🏻

[@headspacemhk8297]

So I’ve been wanting to do this but a complete beginner at this lol could you do a video on how to start the fire and what you use and etc

[@embersash9204]

Nice pit! Perfect for a fire dome🔥

[@Kingshroom09]

Love open fire cooking and love everything you have done here! Great setup for some quick grilling. Only thing I would do is soak your corn in water before you put it in the coals. It helps create a more even cook on the corn by having it steam much longer. Subscribed!

[@BearMeat4Dinner]

I’m going to try this when I get home!

[@bunkyman8097]

Very educational video, thanks!!

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

[@AntAntL]

Nice setup, but I do have some comments. I think the top of the base is too low. I sometimes cook food for 3 to 5 hours on an open flame, and squatting for that cooking duration has to suck. Brining that cooking grill about 2 feet higher would be ideal. I am not a fan of the bricks your using. I bet they are affordable, but putting firebricks would help with heat retention and ultimately the cooking process. Firebricks are not that much more expensive than the bricks your using now. Adding a riser or lifting grill (santa maria grill) would do wonders for your setup. Otherwise, good vid.

[@kvitoroulis]

good stuff :)

[@kiplupinetti3700]

How long on each side for steaks

[@JonahMotley]

Great video! One of my favorite things to do is get shit hammered and Cook over the fire.

[@robertrupp2865]

I’m curious what you used for your base to support the grill grates. I’m having a difficult time finding a base that would accommodate grates like that. Thanks for any suggestions

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Gavin used this one: www.amazon.com/Texsport-Heavy-Duty-Camp-Grill/dp/B000P9IRKQ/ref=asc_df_B000P9IRKQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167126940649&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3461983538126748792&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1023819&hvtargid=pla-307322448428&psc=1

I love fire

[@TV-vq8et]

Ribeye on the grill slow cooked

[@vtecbanger3180]

Does the wood give a desirable flavor?

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Yes the type of wood you choose will play into the flavor on the meat! :)

[@vtecbanger3180]

@@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen even camp fire wood is good enough?

[@zh85]

@@vtecbanger3180 There is nothing out there that can beat the flavor of firewood cooked meat or pretty much anything in my opinion and Yes even camp firewood will do the trick. Good luck.

[@ahmedalfasatwi7731]

This won't work for me, by the time the meat is cooked, I'll have gone throu and eaten all the carrots... Very nice setup bro

[@SherryJav]

This looks like it's really bad for your back and knees, also just one push and your on the grill lol
