Cooking On Coals With Bark Bowl
ฝัง

- This is a demo where I place a birch bark bowl full of ice cold water fresh from the creek directly onto campfire coals to see how well this method can be used for cooking. It proved to be en excellent method for soups or other high liquid recipes that require longer term cooking. Ideal would be to let the bowl heat up as hot as it's going to get and then use a hot rock or two in there to boil as long as you need high heat to kill any bacteria. After that then just let the embers do their work for as long as you want to tenderize and finish cooking. Another option would be to "sew" some sticks (with willow cordage or....)to the diameter of a small piece of Birch Bark to use as a lid. The sticks would be to keep the bark from curling. I believe the bowl would boil on it's own then.

@phreshayr FYI: Heard that "steaming hot" not necessarily boiling will do the trick after 20min. Another sanitizing method (not sterilizing btw) is using a clear bottle out in the sun 4-8 hrs. They use that at a school in Africa and the kids have FAR less water borne illness. Thanks for the video!
Maybe another sheet of birch bark as a lid would help keep heat in and make for an easier boil.
This is still one of my favorite videos of yours- thanks again Lonnie!
Eric Tyler Interestingly enough, this is also one of my favorites. I really enjoy true bushcraft projects like this.
nice to see i was impressed how the bowl held up but like you say the water keep it cool
Amazing!!! Always amazes me.
Thanks,
Clark
Lonnie,i wish you happy hollydays,a happy new year,keep up with your videos!
I wish you all the best in the world,to Coonie too,off course!
that's wicked awesome! Great video knowledge seems endless
I love this one... a kind of Birch Bark Cooking Canoe.
A useful technique in a pinch...
Thanks for that
and again a very good video
I love these videos! I have cooked over coals on a dutch oven, but never in birchbark bowls! Cool! I'll have to try this on the campfire in my glass tipi when I go home to Canada for Christmas!
great idea.hot water over a longer period will kill everthing in the water anyway.would make a nice slow cooked squirl too.great job.im gona try that someday to see how it flavers the food.thanks for the idea...jerry
That sir, if freaking amazing!!

great demo it would be great to do it again but messure how hot the water get's. thanks for the great vid
always wondered if this worked. I remember reading about it in some Louis L'Amour westerns, main character would boil water in a birch bark bowl making sure the flames would not go above the water line
I have read just about all of his westerns. Great books.
Okay, I'll film it when I do it!
@JustinBaker2567 Yes, it must boil for several minutes. Of course in areas without the really dangerous microbes etc. this would probably be good enough. BUT there are bacteria, viruses, protists, worm eggs that will only die in a good long boil. The higher the altitude the longer it has to boil, as in higher areas the boiling temperature gets lower and lower due to falling air pressure.
Cheers, Tim
Interesting method. Maybe you could finally bring it to boiling by dropping in a heated stone from the fire.
Greetings, Tim
Good for sanitizing water.
Must be how Native Americans made maple syrup...always wondered how they did it without metal pots.
Thanks Lonnie, It would have been a bit more interesting to see what the temperature of the water finally came to. I believe you had temp's high enough to pasturize the water with. Could be wrong though, of course.
Hello Lonnie another great video I'm really learning lil tricks from your videos..I was thinking that maybe your water did reach 212 degrees but didn't actually bubble like tap water does..I have experimented in the past with boiling water and regular tap water bubbles when it reaches 212 because of the impurities in it and I have boiled distilled water and when it boils or reaches 212 it doesn't actually bubble because it has no impurities in it I don't know if this applies to melted snow or creek water or not I will have to try it this winter..You think maybe it did boil or reach 212 but didn't bubble because it doesn't have impurities in it ?? Take Care!
Ronald Cox I don't know for sure since I didn't measure the temp but my gut feeling was that it just did not get hot enough to boil. We use well water here at home and the creek water would be very similar in that they are both flowing through mineralization. Thanks for watching and glad you are enjoying the videos and that they are useful.
If you let it steam for long enough, would it kill all of the bad stuff? or does it have to come to a boil?
@gjholcomb "hot water over a longer period will kill everthing in the water anyway" - Sorry, I have to disagree. From what I learned in parasitology, the water must boil over a longer time to kill all germs etc. In high altitudes even boiling might be not 100% safe, as the boiling temperature decreases with altitude. - Of course it always depende on the location you are in: in the tropics you will take other precautions than in the north. But you can get really nasty Giardia in Alaska too. Tim
