This was really a test run to see if the idea would work. The thought was to roast a whole chicken horizontally in a Zebra billy can bush pot over the Folding Firebox 5" Campstove, slowly rotating the pot as to cook it evenly with a pan below to catch the drippings for gravy. I bought some instant mashed potatoes, which I cooked over the Folding Firebox 3" Gen2 Nano. The meal turned out darn good! The chicken was moist and tender, I think the smallness of the oven was a good thing!
I fueled the Firebox with a small Swedish Fire Torch which provided heat for well over an hour without the need to even think about my fire.
The meal turned out great! Winner, winner chicken dinner! Great fun outdoor cooking!
Thanks for watching, please like, share and comment on this video.
I've been cooking for 40 years and I don't think I could have done any better in my kitchen than you did in nature on your stoves, Steve. Especially that gravy, which you nailed!
I just ordered my 16mm Billy pot, bag and coffee grinder yesterday, so I am looking forward to doing more/finer cooking on my Fireboxes soon as well!
That is awesome, I don't think you will be disappointed. Thank you for the kind words and for watching, I appreciate it so much. Cheers!
That’s exactly the set up Iam going for,,,!!!! Large and a smaller unit. Complete Versatility,,,,
Thanks for a demo of my identical thoughts,,,

I enjoy watching the metamorphosis of the chicken cooking.
I've been trying to go in chronological order with the videos.
Your scientific method of discovery, is the bomb.
Hopefully this month of June 2021 you will have the folding tables in I'm looking forward to that. Thank you so much for what you do and have a great day.
We are hoping to have that table the end of June but it all depends on the manufacturer, they have had to push back that date a time or two. Thank you as usual for the kind words, it is appreciated.
It is Kool to see the overall smoothness of everything from this video to the most recent! Perfect!
Thank you Jay!
Steve, you amaze me with the continued and seemingly never ending cooking options with the zebra pots. I can't wait to fire up my stove and try out my 16 zebra for our Sunday dinner! one thing I love about the firebox is even if your not camping you can use the firebox in the backyard and not heat up your kitchen on these hot Texas Summer days :o)
Jay bird2963 Much thanks Jay!
Great, it's 2 in the am and I'm drooling over this video... Gotta get me one of those tables and break in my new firebox with my son!
Lol, Thanks a lot!
Well, it was a year ago when I first subbed to your channel after been amazed at cooking a chicken in a Zebra. You asked me to let you know how I got on doing the same. A year later, it happened last night !!. Wow, absolutely fantastic. Used the Trangia burner in the Trangia Triangle along with the simmer ring right from the start. The chicken was taken out fully cooked after 1 hour 20 minutes, and even then it was a little overcooked for my liking at 82 degrees C internal temp. I used English methelated spirits (like the US Heet) and only used 1.5 burners worth of fuel. Now that amazed me again considering you used 8 oz. Thanks again for the inspiration, will be doing it again many times into the future. Cheers, Neil.
Awesome! I'm so glad it worked out so well for you!
Awesome job! I think I'll try a Cornish game hen.
They are really good, let me know what you think when you try it!
Looks like the chicken is very yummy and the colour is perfect. The potatoes looks very warm. Want to eat them now!!!
+Argus Ng Thanks!
Wow ! Your killing me with that chicken dinner! Dang that’s awesome
Thanks Diane!
Great job... I'm definitely getting some of your gear... and I make almost all my gear.
That is awesome, thanks for watching. You will love your gear!
You will totally Love your Firebox great!
Managed to cook a Chicken this way but using the Trangia alcohol burner.
It cooked almost as quick as a household oven. Love the large Firebox
That is awesome, I am so glad it turned out good for you and that you are enjoying your Firebox. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Thanks for sharing, i ordered my 16cm Zebra yesterday and will be doing this for sure :)
Awesome! Have fun! Please let me know how it goes!
why not make a small waterproof cookbook for the billycan???? just an idea after couple beers
henk Schutte That's a good idea Henk, Thanks!
Steve! I got everything I had ordered from you guys - the GSI folding table, the Oli pot holder, the Zebra 16cm pot with the steel clips, the Gen 2 Nano, and the adjustable fire grate for my Original Firebox! Thanks! So I roasted not only a whole roaster chicken, but I also tried it with a pair of Cornish game hens. They all came out wonderful! I wanted to share a couple things with you...
For the chicken, I used half of a quartered onion, and 1 large celery stalk cut in thirds. I salted and peppered the chicken inside and out, then stuffed the cavity with the onion and celery. I coated the bird with olive oil, as well as the inside of the bush pot. I used Match Light coals in the Firebox (the torch method doesn't work up here at altitude). Came out perfect!
For the game hens, I used a generous coating of Old Bay seasoning inside and out. Olive oil on the outsides of the birds and insides of the pot. Was incredible!
I caught all the drippings with the bush pot's pan like you did, but I added butter and flour over low heat from the Gen 2 Nano, using alcohol for fuel. Kept stirring and it came out delicious in both instances.
So I wanted to ask you if you might consider making high-altitude versions of both of your stoves? Both of them have trouble with airflow up here at 9,800 feet above sea level. There's just so much less oxygen in the air, that there isn't enough airflow from the holes to get a torch burning at all. And most of the camping that I do is at around 10,000 feet above sea level. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Even the Gen 2 Nano, using 99% isopropyl will burn orange and sooty because it doesn't have sufficient airflow to feed the flames up here. They work great when I come down to around 6,000 feet or so - but up here, they are struggling to stay lit with the amount of airflow the holes currently feed.
Thanks for everything!
BLESSINGS!
Sam
ace1usmc Wow! Sounds awesome! Did you take some pictures?
As for the air flow question, The Nano can run with the Fire Grate up, the sticks being fed through the sides support the fire but all ash and coals drop allowing free air flow. As for the Firebox I realized the need for a center hole in the Fire Grate, just for running the Fire Torch pre-fuel method. Watch for that in the future.
I've never had good luck with Iso. I stick with ethanol or methanol.
Thanks so much!
that pot of gravy would have been an excellent catcher for those drippings and I can imagine how flavourful that gravy would have been!!
I cannot wait to try this. I'll be bringing along a jar of IKEA Lingonberry jam. My mom has been asking me to cook a meal up at her place using my Firebox Stoves, so I think this will be the meal!
Helen Nelson Awesome Helen! Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
awesome, zebra pot has been on my list for awhile, but I agree, that waiting was worth it, because it looks like those clips are a added bonus. try wrapping your chicken in aluminum next time, and you can do it without the lid, it will be like cooking coffee can chicken. if I had a zebra pot I would show you myself how to do it.
+SINISTERCLOWNS Thanks for the tip!
Camp rotisserie chicken!!!
The combination of rotation and removal of the juices simulate a rotisserie.
Well done.
Jerry Gottheil Thanks Jerry!
Love my little firebox, certainly has come in handy here in Florida during Hurricane saeson.
Thanks Ann!
Hey, Chef! Another brilliant idea and execution. I'll be the guys at the restaurant are even more sorry they let you get away. And I'm getting more and more glad that you did! Thanks again.
Christopher McKellarChristopher McKellarChristopher McKellar I'm sure glad I did! That place was pure craziness! I still have Grappa dreams and wake up feeling stressed out. But now I'm doing what I love thanks to awesome customers like you! Cheers!
Luv this idea, going to try it. I'm going to wrap chicken in foil then put it in the pot and see how it turns out.
Thanks for the vid.
RAYSALLSERVICES That's a good Idea! Please let me know how it goes.
Utterly Awesome Dude! You may want to try rubbing the salt (and any other spices you like), firmly on to the whole chicken before you start cooking. This tends to give you very crispy skin. Thank you again Steve! Your wife must be getting jealous of your new found cooking skills!
Paul Gibson Laughing, yeah, she likes that I do all the cooking at camp. I would have given more care to the bird but I didn't have a way of washing my hands.
Thanks so much Paul!
Hi Buzzsaw, I think cooking it upright may cause the drippings to burn against the bottom.
Really great meal, your clips make it possible, love the lunchbox and zebra pot. My mouth was watering watching. Thanks Steve. Ted.ps. Still loving my fire boxes, best stoves made.
daddated1 Thanks Ted! You're Awesome!
That was wonderful. My mouth is watering here. Perfect.
I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
First time a charm. Looks great. I'm going to have to try this. A second Billy pot to bake fresh bread.
It works really well, fresh baked bread is the best!!
Would you ever or is there a firebox cook book?
Great video and amazing info 😻
Thank you for the kind words and for watching!
Okay Steve,
It looks great, no thermal mass ( rocks or stainless steal beads). I will be tryiing this in the next week. I do have the bird waiting for this wonderful cooking procedure.
That is awesome Larry, let me know how it goes. I received your seasoning today and leave for a trip today as well, I will bring it along and try it out. Thank you for sending that!
@@fireboxstove Have a great Labor Day weekend, enjoy your time out with the family and I look forward to the recording of your trip, if you plan to record.
We have a hurricane headed our way, I guess that is what we have to look forward to this weekend. Take care.
@@larryschneider8245 Oh that is not good, stay safe out there. I will be filming this trip and we are heading out as a family this time for several days. I look forward to sharing my trip with you all. Thank you for the support, take care!!
gravy and mash looked great , good try on the whole chicken , try Cornish hens theyre smaller feed 2 adult and a kid and will fit perfectly and wont burn on the sides cause there will be room around the Cornish hen if you use ur lil pan , the pan u use to bake with
Thanks for the suggestion, I will have to give that a try!
Well done 👏
Great idea Steve. Brilliant video.
Stokie Joe Bushcraft Thanks Joe!
Looking very very good job my friend keep it up Bless on your family
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate your comments Wayne! Means a lot that you enjoy the videos. Cheers!!
Turned out really good, I'd have paid for a plate of that and come back for more!
+Paul O Well, thanks!
Great job Steve I could almost taste how succulent that bird was man..
Nobby Richardson Thanks Nobby!
Just what to say steve you the man
Great video.... Watching this reminded me of my earlier question regarding the top plate of the trangia stove I asked recently on another video.... You tip worked... Thanks!!!! Will be ordering a nano 2 from the UK supplier shortly... Great work... Cheers Phil from England
Philip Nunn Thanks so much Philip! Please let us know how you get on with your new Nano. Cheers!
Philip Nunn question but who is the British supplier ?????
Hi.... This is one place I have seen in the UK who stocks the gen 2 nano... www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk/folding-firebox-nano-stove-gen-2---the-folding-fireboxes-little-brother-14903-p.asp
cool I checking it out
mellon marshall No problem.... :-)
I liked the Frank Zappa reference. You remember to remove the giblets? I find butterflied cornish game hens to be a more managable thickness for open fire cooking. Great vid, will have to give it a go.
pilsnerpopper This chicken didn't come with the extra bits inside so it was basically good to go.
Thanks for the comment!
Very cool! I wonder if the 14cm Lunch Box will nest inside the 16cm Billy Pot? If so that lunch box might be my next purchase.
PlanetRigo Sorry, it doesn't fit.
Great idea, Steve! Bravo! I'm gonna try this, too! Did you make a note of your approximate cooking time for the bird? -Sam
ace1usmc Hi Sam, Thanks! I didn't keep exact track of the time, but I think it was about 1:20
Good luck on your bird, please let us know how it goes.
This is an awesome invention!
Thank you, I appreciate that!!
Cornish hens are smaller and would probably work better, you could also and fingerling potatoes on the bottom of the chicken help keep chicken off the bottom and cook some veggies same time, guessing it might be worth a shot.
Thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate that and will have to give it a try. Thanks for watching!!
wow looks good yummy mmm yum thanks
Thank you Joe!
I'm so glad I waited to buy my zebra pot. Those metal clips are a great idea. Was wondering if you sell a baking sheet pan that will fit inside the 14cm zebra pot?
+MAXCOBRALAZERFACE Yes: www.fireboxstove.com/camping-gear/baking-kit
why would it not work ? The zebra billy can is like a small dutch oven , but i do think the firebox and billy can is a great combination thank you for sharing
atb
paul
great video, good food
dalton vickers Thanks Dalton!
Great video! It was killing me to see so much of the juices falling on the table. Gotta bring a mug or something to capture every last ounce of that nectar.
Christopher Biegel Yeah, I know, I was watching, thinking why didn't I just put the gravy pan under while I was waiting?? Duh? Oh well, next time!
Thanks!
Great test kitchen!!!
Thanks Paul!
Steve you're my kind of gourmet cook! I'll give it a try with my bush pot.
Just fed the family your breakfast burrito while camping this weekend. They think I'm a genius! Thanks for raising my stock :-)
How do you deal with the pot cleaning and care?
David Long Thanks David, I'm actually quite new to this Zebra pot method, but what I've learned so far is to be careful to only get the pot as hot as needed, too much heat can warp the pot and heat will lessen the stainless steel's ability to resist corrosion so I clean my pot with a maroon Scotch Bright and leave a light coat of oil on it to keep it nice between uses.
Thanks for asking!
Always good stuff/ Is that a Bark River knife ?
Can't wait to get back in the wild
~rad~
that looks delicious
+Gary Thompson Thanks Gary!
One last question,,,,,,, do you think that spraying some Pam , cooking spray, would of helped keep the chicken from sticking to the billy pot,,??? Joshua
It would probably help for sure, we will have to give it a try!
You need a barbecue lighter Steve. Good job on chicken. Yum.
Suggestion: tumble some rosemary garlic and veggies with the chicken (if they fit)
Thank you, I will have to give that a try. I appreciate the suggestion!
Oops I just tried to eat my phone that look really good I wish I would have had one of them boxes couple weeks ago I did a road trip through Oregon fishing maybe next time take care of my friend
Thank you Chris! You will have to get one for your next trip. They are so nice to have along for the ride. Cheers!!
What brand of folding table is that? Chicken looks awesome!
It is made by GSI and we are out of stock right now but will have more in March. Thanks for watching Nick!
@@fireboxstove sweet. thanks!
Nice
Thanks Bernie 👍😎
wow great video wil try one time and maby some porkbelly mmmmmmmmm
henk Schutte Ooo, that sounds yummy. Let us know how it goes.
FireboxStove i will maby next week into the forrest
how long did it take to roast the chicken? Obviously it would be different every time, but I'm wondering about a general time.
I don't remember specifically but I do remember it was very close to the time recommended on the package. Thanks!
You don't need to cook it on the side. Stand up the pot and use a chicken stand to hold it up straight in the pot.
Great job Steve, you did it! How long did it take to cook?
Bob Wampler about 1:20 I'll keep closer track next time.
Thanks for asking!
should have put a few onions in with chicken
If you add some of your dehydrated potatoes to the gravy, it will help thicken it.just dont over add or it wont taste right
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Firebox Stove its like thansgiving! Lol
great idea, thank you, what brand is that table?
+Mumma Bear GSI, here's a link: www.fireboxstove.com/camping-gear/micro-cooking-table
OMG....What about the inerts of the chicken, the bag?! AND RINSING OF THE CHICKEN?!
I forgot to ask you Steve, what was the weight of the chicken you used? Total cooking time? Thank you!
Paul Gibson I don't know the weight, I chose the smallest one thinking it might be a tight fit, which it wasn't. And cooking time was about an hour and twenty minutes. I didn't time it exactly. Sorry for the lack of info, I was shooting from the hip on this one.
Costco has great deals on chicken, doesn't it? ;) (your water bottle says kirkland)
well done
Thanks!
Beautiful smile!
Do you think the Nano could hold a 3Qt pot , full of water,,,??? Joshua
Yes it sure could, it is small but mighty!
I wonder if bread can be cooked in the same way as your chicken?
+Chris Williams I tried it. Here's the video: th-cam.com/video/EEdCxvW6mKQ/w-d-xo.html
how long total time did it take! Nice!
I'm sorry, I don't remember. You may find the answer in past comments. Thanks!
roasted chicken and filet mignon?
I love these videos of yours. What wood do you use? ATB Muddy
Generally, I use what I can find. I prefer Mapel, Juniper or Scrub Oak. We don't have the real good Oak varieties here.
Thanks for asking!
FireboxStove Good to know. Thank you for replying.
Hi Steve from where did you get the gas adapter?
That is the Trangia Gas Burner we carry on the site. We are out of stock unti some time in July though, as is the manufacturer. Once it is back in stock it will be back up on the site.
How long did you cook the chicken?
It was like an hour and a half. It ended up being a little shorter that the time mentioned in the instructions
i got to get me one them firebox
Thanks Douglas! Here's a link to our value kit for our best deals: www.fireboxstove.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=68
should have a pan there to catch the juices.
Yes! On a different occasion that's exactly what I did and then I made it into gravy for the mashed potatoes. Thanks!
Why didn´t you spiced it before putting in the Pot?
+Brause witz I salted it. Does that count?
No because you spiced it after you put it in Zebra.
And no drippings issue
Have you got a link for that folding table ?
Frank Into the wild Yes, in the description. Thanks for asking!
FireboxStove Yep thanks...note to self : wear my glasses next time
Frank Into the wild I added titles when I got your first comment so it's my bad. Cheers!
(Y) thats
Why didn't you put some of the hot fat back onto the chicken?
well......I'm going to Boston market..
+Nicholas B That works too!
got to be 10/10
John James Yeah, I can't wait to try it again, now that I know what to expect.
Thanks!
Then remove shicken from pot and deglaze with water or wine. and voila
Looks fuken good
Glad you like it, thanks for watching!
The only thing I didn't care for was skipping the step of washing the bird. Food safety first ;-)
+TantoFan It certainly reached temperature.
FireboxStove I saw that. But there is a reason you are supposed to thoroughly wash poultry. Not that I might not have done the same thing ;-)
TantoFan alot of rules say DONT waah the chicken.
Emma is going to get mad, you left her out
Lol thanks for watching Roy!
