This man makes some well thought out fire boxes. I love this off the ground fire box with grills. Sometimes you have to get your fire off the ground to leave no trace. Consider this man's set up.
Thank you so much Bill. I did get some Ideas from Johnny Nix but I did tweak it to make it my own. Thank you so much for your kind words we really appreciate it.
+TheDanVan thank you Dan. We sure are like to see all of your adventures. Do you have a Dutch yet? If you don’t you need to come over to the darkside and get one lol.
That was a fine display of ur fire box n excessories n very nicely done n l haven't decided if this box is the right size or should l make a smaller one fir our yard we live in Illinios right by Ohare airport n l keep transforming our yard with garden boxes n yard n patio furniture n it's been a tough battle.. n out if all the grills n boxes from everywhere especially Agentinian style l like urs the best it's simple n extremely effective ..l l pay attention to ur speech silvery n it tells me about ur character n l believe you are good holsim family man full of respect n talent keep in doing ur thing nicely done
Well thank you so much. Yes in hind site I would have built the fire box a little narrower but I would still keep the length. The way I built the box has let it warp over the years. I plan on rebuilding it so maybe keep an eye out for that. I do love the length and would never change that . Everything else has been working great though and I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you so much again
I bought the uprights, crossbar and hooks. After I learned how to cook using the hooks I built the firebox and swing grills myself. That way they were the size I wanted plus the shipping on the fire box was going to be $150 dollars. Thanks for watching and if you have any questions please ask.
Thanks for this one. I'm in the UK and managed to find a smith to make me one very similar to yours, couple of modifications to suit me. Ive been searching for something like this for a couple of yrars, Happy it is being made now. Thanks,
Glad we could help. That is so awesome to hear that you found a smithy to make it for you. We would love to see videos of your set up. We have been contacted from people all around the globe that have used this for a set up. As I have always said I got my Idea from Johnny Nix and then made it my own and I am so glad that someone else has done the same from My and Rhonda's video. Cheers and I hope your set up gives you as many great cooks as Ours has given us.
Thanks for going in depth about your set up! It’s pretty impressive. I gotta say that you’re making me wish we had Bucees here in Kansas😄! Can’t wait to see what you cook up next!
Buccees is so AWESOME! Seriously the one thing I miss about living in TX. Everytime someone would visit we'd tell them we were going to take them to Buccees and they would always ask why were taking them to a gas station. We'd say trust us you'll see. They always got hooked after 1 trip lol. Best thing at Buccees has to be their jerky and cake balls. Can't wait until they finish ours in FL!
wow Billy. I like that kit. nice setup. I have to look that up. I'm trying to get setup in the backyard for outdoor cooking. you got me cooking on a different level now. lol
Thank you so much. I really am proud of this set up. Yep we need to get one of those big coffee pots. We have had several people send us pictures of the setups that they have made. Glad we could give you some ideas and thanks for watching.
+David Bierley hey if you do will you please email us some pictures? We have had a few other people that have built them and we would like to make a video showing all the different ways and materials that people used. We love seeing that this video has been helpful to folks. Our email is in the description.
Glad it was helpful! Sorry it took me so long to respond. I don't think these will fail. We are going to have a future video with some of the pictures of some of our subscribers that have built the set up with the mortification's that they have made to what I have done. Hope to see yours one day. Thank you so much ...... Billy from Strong's Adventures
I like that hook storage bag. Maybe paint a bright color on handle end of the poker sound you don't loose this one. Buc-ees! Is that a cobbler cooing in the dutch! Awesome set up for sure. Good job Billy and Rhonda! Darn, it was just chicken in the dutch.
+PAPA Texas lol nope no cobbler! No cake this time either. Yeah I’m going to make a new poker and good idea on painting the handle end a bright color 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much. I am really proud of this setup. It really works great for me . Hope you and that family have a great Christmas. I really hope the Real Billy can come up and see ya.
Very cool! Jim can you leave a link I looked at your channel and didn't. Love looking at the way other people make grills and fire pits. Thanks for stopping by.
Now that's a nice set up sweet. I love to cook outdoors well liked more when I wasn't so sick all the time but I love fishing overnight cause I build a fire and try to cook. Thanks for sharing. God bless
@@strongsadventures cool I'll need watching or trying this weather keeps me sick lupas and cold and hot well it hates weather and I guess fat people. Lol. Have a good night.
@@strongsadventures yea they told me year and half ago my life's been bad since can't get to hot can't get to cold sick all the time the Dr won't tell me nothen just take the pills which caused me to gain over 30 pounds really sicksy kidneys failed first stage 3 kidney disease then they found the lupas trying to get new Dr over 6 months don't no why they can't find mw one unless there's none that specializes in lupas but my Artritis Dr that doing she ain't nice at All. But ide love to no more to maybe fill better tired of being so tired and sick all the time
Grandadz Forge Rob we are going to Christmas in the state park in the morning. If it doesn’t become a complete wash out I will be filming a lot of videos.
Captain Hook! Nice set up. Jalapenos looked good. I was going to ask what was in the dutch, but it is chicken! Thank you for showing us your rig, Billy and Rhonda
Wow I’d love the idea of that out door setup and have a picnic with the family soo cool I love it bright idea my friend keep it up anyway thanks a lot for dropping by see you around
OK, Billy. I'm in love. I've been eyeing up those cook stations for over a year. I'll get there eventually. I have really been enjoying dutch oven cooking and especially with wood. Welding gloves are too bulky for me, so I got the kevlar LaTazas Extreme Heat Resistant Grill Oven Mitts. Love them and they work great in high temps. Nice vid of the setup and cook!
I bought the hooks and uprights for 99 dollars from somewhere out of Colorado. But I built everything else. The set up I have came be about 1700 or more. I have seen the uprights and hooks on Amazon for $65 but they are not constructed anywhere near as good
Wonderful setup you have there Billy! I think I could smell those bacon wrapped peppers; } Oh, and I have not ever seen or been to a Buc-ees… must not be in the west Texas area. Awesome upload 👍
C Dub's Journey we only hung out for a little while but you seem like genuinely sincere person. That’s what I look for in a true friend. Hopefully we can hang out again soon.
I feel the exact same way about you guys! You and Rhonda are awesome! So much was going on while we were at Lollapalooza... But I feel so blessed that we met and got to spend a little while together and share some great laughs! @@strongsadventures Looking forward to another meet up :)
@@CDubsJourney pretty sure your closest one would be in Fort Worth. Would definitely be worth the trip! Or past Waco depending on what of TX you are in.
Hi there, My name is Sharon, I really like your cooking set-up and I enjoy your show. I live in California and I can't find anything like yours and I wanted to know , Do you make and sell you cooking set up? if not can you share with me where I can buy a set up like yours? Thank you!
Thank you so much Shannon. I am really proud of my set up. Rhonda bought the hooks for me from somewhere in Colorado but she can't remember where she got them. I built everything else. Unfortunately I do not have the means to build any at the present time but hope to at some point. If you want you can google Campfire Hooks and find some nice setups but not exactly like mine. Thanks again for taking interest in the set up and so sorry for taking so long to reply.
I bought the same bars, hooks and swing grill years ago for my late husband. We use to watch Johnny Nix cook on his. After my husband died my daughters and their family went to a state park and cooked the entire Thanksgiving meal over the campfire using my set and my Dutch ovens. I wish I had a fire box like you have.
First We are so sorry for your loss. We absolutely love Johnny Nix and in fact he is the inspiration for me building this set up. We have a few videos of us doing Johnny's recipes and are going to do more. I actually built my fire box bigger than the one he sold. That is so awesome that your girls cooked a Thanksgiving Day meal over the camp fire. I bet it was awesome. Thank you so much Jackie.
Thank you so much for your question. Yes the gloves really work. They are heavy leather welding gloves but this is where the swing grill comes in. You move it over and it cools a bit and you can raise it up. You can also use the fire poker to assist in the pick up it you need too. Thank you so much again.
Thank you so much. I really am proud of this set up. We did have a great Christmas, Hope y'all did too. Wishing you all the blessing for the new year to come.
Thank you so much. I am really proud of it. We have another video that gives the exact dimensions for anyone that wants to build one or have one built. Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for your interest Ken. I bought the hooks and uprights from somewhere in Colorado. I made all of the rest myself. We would really like to make make and sell these one day.
Thanks so much. Yep the ones from scratch are so much better but hey these work good in a pinch. No that reminds me I need to do a from scratch video making them LOL . Thanks and hope you have a Happy New year
Thanks so much! You are so correct. I actually use one of the up-rights and one of the grills over my Dutch oven tables on occasion and it works great.
@@strongsadventures I made a fire rotisserie out of snow mobile parts and an industrial BBQ motor with a 3/8" spit that we roast meat over an open fire. I found your channel as inspiration for another project I want to do just like yours.
Love it...Totally inspired. I think one minor modification would be to make a small wall of thermal bricks at the back to reflect a bit more heat maybe just a reflective board. But otherwise, its really great.
Oh trust me this one reflects plenty of heat especially in the summer. I have thought of making a smaller more portable fire pit and that would work really good for that. Thank you so much for that tip. Hope you are having a great weekend my friend.
I love this, I would love to build one myself.. I'd also have one of the swing grills as a solid grill plate for different frying options, or maybe just have three swing grills/swing out tables. Great set up though man!
Thank you so much. I really am proud of this set up. I like the idea of a solid grill/griddle. If you would like to make a set up like this one I have a video that gives the exact detentions of mine. The link should be at the end of this video. Thanks again for watching and the nice words.
I was thinking the same to have a flat plate for frying but then when you think about it why not just use a fry pan on the grill the grill is a support for anything. A nice cast iron skillet comes to mind.😉
Thank you so much I am really proud of my set up. Oh man that is a tough question. Well we cook Tin Foil foilless dinners on it a lot as well as Lasagna. I also make quite a few cakes on it. Thanks so much again for the stopping by and for the question.
That’s a crazy sweet setup! I was looking at something similar from an Amish guy in PA, but couldn’t afford it. I don’t have the skills to make one myself...
Thank you. Yes they can be quite expensive. I think the setup that Johnny Nix makes sells for around a thousand bucks for everything but he does sell the individual pieces. maybe you could go that route.
Thank you so much Gregory. As of now all of our Dutch Ovens are Lodge. We have been thinking about getting a Camp Chef and a Camp Maid to do a review on. As for the other pieces we have Griswold, Wagner and a few other pieces. Thank you again and we hope you have a great week.
Did you buy the hooks, or did you bend the steel yourself??? I have a similar setup I bought from Sportsman's Guide, but it no where as heavy duty as your set. Since you have 12 pairs of welding gloves, is it safe to presume that you built the firebox yourself??? If so, what gauge steel did you use?? I'm definitely going to put one together up on my place in Alaska next summer. If you're interested there will be videos on my channel!! If you're a welder, you might be interested in my video of the pig roast I did for my 93 year old dad in WV in October. It showcases a very unique cooker I engineered, and he did all of the welding. My channel is: The Lone Moose
Hey Moose. Ok to start to answer your questions. 1 we got the hooks out of a place in Colorado back in maybe 2006 . 2 I do have some welding classes under my belt but I am in no way a welder. 3 I am an electrician by trade and I was very impressed by your windshield wiper motor spit turner.3 I would like in the future to start making these but at this point in my life its not possible. We do have a more in-depth video that gives all the dimensions it is here studio.th-cam.com/users/video3r3xpb05EvE/edit After seeing the Contraption I have no doubt that you can make this. Man I do want that Smoker Pig roster that you built . Hope this helps
@@strongsadventures well I'm nowhere near an electrician, I saw something similar of TH-cam and pirated the concept... lol. I'm sure you can advise ways to improve on the concept???.Where are you located? If you're in the lower 48 maybe we could do a pig roast sometime. If you're up north in Alaska, do one up there. If that idea interests you we can definitely explore possibilities! Have a very Merry Christmas sir, and a very Happy New Year!
Well.....Mad Nomadder didn't wait til after Christmas lol....I found a great deal on a 14" 10 Qt Deep Camp Lodge for $77. I bought some accessories, when I went, but I feel you have the ideal setup. So I'll be asking many more questions......Your firebox and grates for cooking.....I have to look all over for cooking wear....West Virginians are deprived lol
+The Mad Nomadder lol looking forward to a video about you showing off your new haul. You just need to make a trip to Tenn to the lodge outlet store. LOL bring lots of money
@@strongsadventures I'm a tad confused, for some reason I thought you guys were from Texas....Gypsy Lynn said you are all from Louisiana. My whole world is upside down with that lol Can you straighten us up?
+The Mad Nomadder lol yes we are from north west Louisiana. We go to Texas all the time because it’s only 20 miles away. We live in Shreveport. We go to Tennessee as often as we can because we love that area. Now to truly confuse you my son is a a Jr at the University of Alabama.
@@strongsadventures My mind is blown.....lol We were definitely in your neck of the woods last year driving through to Texas. I'm trying to see why you go to Tennessee so much...lol I tend to try to head west...not east lol Curious for your reasons.
There you go ‼️
Was your fly open?
Lol 😜
Not in this video !!🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
Ha.. his fly is always open!
@@mechanic911 gotta be ready for action. lol
That is legit! Need to start selling these, hard to find good setups like that!
That is a fantastic set-up there. Just totally awesome. Can only begin to imagine the succulent meals coming off of it. Keep on rockin'! 🤟
Thanks so much! Yes it has cooked many a great meal.
Looks like a Johnny Nix Cook Set. I have had one for 10 years or so. It goes with me every time I go camping...
Thank you so much Jason. This set up was inspired by Johnny but when I built it I added my own touches to it.

Nice I have been looking for something like this. Thanks
That is the coolest cooking setup ever! I know lots of people are wanting one of those! Stuffed jalapenos yum!
+Frugal RV Gal thank you Frug. I know I wanted one for a long time before I got mine.

If I may use a 1980s reference: TOTALLY AWESOME! Really cool stuff
Thank you so much. I am really proud of this set up.
Now that’s an outdoor cooking set up. My husband would love this!! Thanks for sharing! New sub here.
Thank you so much. I am really proud of it. We have another video that gives the exact dimensions for anyone that wants to build one or have one built. Thank you for watching.
Just checked out your channel. Really great stuff y'all have. New friend here.
Lol my husband could care less but I'd be in Heaven! This outdoor cook station is AMAZING!
That is a sweet set up brother 🇺🇸🔥 🔥🥓 🔥
Thank you Red. I am pretty proud of it. Have a great rest of the week brother.
That is one nice setup!
Thank you. It does work really well.
Excellent set up brother! The bacon wraps looked awesome. I been doing bacon wrapped asparagus there the summer good stuff.
Survival Mindset thank you for watching. I have been wanting to try the BW asparagus. Thank you.
Bacon wrapped poppers are SOOOOO GOOD!
amazing outdoor cooking friend best wishes
+LIFE SOUL thank you very much.
Thank you
I like your setup. Did you have it made or can you buy something like it?
Thank you so much for the question. I bought the hooks, uprights and cross bar. I built the swing grills and the fire box myself.
Great setup. I’m looking to purchase a set. Where did you find it?
Thank you so much for your interest Ken. I bought the hooks and uprights from somewhere in Colorado. I made all of the rest myself. We would really like to make make and sell these one day.
@@strongsadventures i would buy
i do those stuff jalapenos from scrath they are delicious.
Great set up !
Thanks so much. Yep the ones from scratch are so much better but hey these work good in a pinch. No that reminds me I need to do a from scratch video making them LOL . Thanks and hope you have a Happy New year
Love this.
Thanks so much. It really works well for us.
I really like your setup as always you can tweak it to suit your taste add things take away things. Thanks for the demonstration
Thanks so much! You are so correct. I actually use one of the up-rights and one of the grills over my Dutch oven tables on occasion and it works great.
Nice setup, I’m jealous!
Thanks! I am really Lovin this setup and I have found that its the best for the way and stuff I like to cook. Thanks for commenting.
Great setup. Very versatile.
Thank you George. I am very proud of this setup and yes it is really versatile.
Awesome setup!!
I really love it. If you are interested in building one we have a video that shows all the dimensions
Great set up.
Glad you think so! I really appreciate you likening this. I am so proud of my set up . Thanks so much for stopping by.
@@strongsadventures I made a fire rotisserie out of snow mobile parts and an industrial BBQ motor with a 3/8" spit that we roast meat over an open fire. I found your channel as inspiration for another project I want to do just like yours.
Your camping set looks really cool.😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much. We really like it and it works really good for us .
Pretty nice grill set up. Thanks for sharing
Thank you I'm pretty proud of it Thank you for watching
Wow love that porta-grill!! And the bacon stuffed peppers look good too! ✌️❤️😎
LOL This is my baby. I am so proud of it . Thanks for watching
@@strongsadventures I would be too! You should make more and sell them! Money in the bank!! ✌️😎❤️
Pretty sweet setup man...well thought out and functional.
Thank you, yes I find it very useful
great set up 👍👍
+dazzling wave thank you for watching.
Love it...Totally inspired. I think one minor modification would be to make a small wall of thermal bricks at the back to reflect a bit more heat maybe just a reflective board. But otherwise, its really great.
Oh trust me this one reflects plenty of heat especially in the summer. I have thought of making a smaller more portable fire pit and that would work really good for that. Thank you so much for that tip. Hope you are having a great weekend my friend.
I think that sounds like a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. I’m sure there’s no shortage of heat.
Great video my friend thanks very much for sharing 😎😎😎🌷🌷🌷😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Thank you so much my friend
I love this, I would love to build one myself.. I'd also have one of the swing grills as a solid grill plate for different frying options, or maybe just have three swing grills/swing out tables. Great set up though man!
Thank you so much. I really am proud of this set up. I like the idea of a solid grill/griddle. If you would like to make a set up like this one I have a video that gives the exact detentions of mine. The link should be at the end of this video. Thanks again for watching and the nice words.
I was thinking the same to have a flat plate for frying but then when you think about it why not just use a fry pan on the grill the grill is a support for anything. A nice cast iron skillet comes to mind.😉
I really like that setup
Thank you Garry. I am really proud of it.
That think looks awesome, whats your "go-to" or favorite thing to cook on it?
Thank you so much I am really proud of my set up. Oh man that is a tough question. Well we cook Tin Foil foilless dinners on it a lot as well as Lasagna. I also make quite a few cakes on it. Thanks so much again for the stopping by and for the question.
Like your setup.
Thank you so much Bill. I am pretty proud of it. Wishing you a great week my friend.
That’s a pretty slick set up
Thank you I really appreciate the complement. I am very proud of the set up.
cool stuff..thanks for sharing👍
+Nataliya Jordan thanks for watching.
Pretty cool setup
Well thank you so much!
That’s a crazy sweet setup! I was looking at something similar from an Amish guy in PA, but couldn’t afford it. I don’t have the skills to make one myself...
Thank you. Yes they can be quite expensive. I think the setup that Johnny Nix makes sells for around a thousand bucks for everything but he does sell the individual pieces. maybe you could go that route.
Great setup!
Thank you so much. I am very proud of it.
Nice set up. And peppers. Yumm
Thank you. It was very good
Love the video brother
Well thank you so much Kenney.
Great video!Very nice description of all you have there.What brand of cast iron do you use?
Thank you so much Gregory. As of now all of our Dutch Ovens are Lodge. We have been thinking about getting a Camp Chef and a Camp Maid to do a review on. As for the other pieces we have Griswold, Wagner and a few other pieces. Thank you again and we hope you have a great week.
great design , I might modify it to a smaller size due to the fact that I am a empty nester
That is what is so cool you can make it anyway you like. Thanks for stopping by.
Nice setup man!!!
Thanks. This set up really works for us.
Good looking outdoor set up Billy ! Love it !
Thank you and thanks for supporting our channel
This is fantastic 👏 👌 🙌
Thank you 🙌
Did you buy the hooks, or did you bend the steel yourself??? I have a similar setup I bought from Sportsman's Guide, but it no where as heavy duty as your set. Since you have 12 pairs of welding gloves, is it safe to presume that you built the firebox yourself??? If so, what gauge steel did you use?? I'm definitely going to put one together up on my place in Alaska next summer. If you're interested there will be videos on my channel!! If you're a welder, you might be interested in my video of the pig roast I did for my 93 year old dad in WV in October. It showcases a very unique cooker I engineered, and he did all of the welding. My channel is: The Lone Moose
Hey Moose. Ok to start to answer your questions. 1 we got the hooks out of a place in Colorado back in maybe 2006 . 2 I do have some welding classes under my belt but I am in no way a welder. 3 I am an electrician by trade and I was very impressed by your windshield wiper motor spit turner.3 I would like in the future to start making these but at this point in my life its not possible. We do have a more in-depth video that gives all the dimensions it is here studio.th-cam.com/users/video3r3xpb05EvE/edit After seeing the Contraption I have no doubt that you can make this. Man I do want that Smoker Pig roster that you built . Hope this helps
@@strongsadventures well I'm nowhere near an electrician, I saw something similar of TH-cam and pirated the concept... lol. I'm sure you can advise ways to improve on the concept???.Where are you located? If you're in the lower 48 maybe we could do a pig roast sometime. If you're up north in Alaska, do one up there. If that idea interests you we can definitely explore possibilities! Have a very Merry Christmas sir, and a very Happy New Year!
Where did you get the hooks from? I would really like a set like that.
Well.....Mad Nomadder didn't wait til after Christmas lol....I found a great deal on a 14" 10 Qt Deep Camp Lodge for $77. I bought some accessories, when I went, but I feel you have the ideal setup. So I'll be asking many more questions......Your firebox and grates for cooking.....I have to look all over for cooking wear....West Virginians are deprived lol
+The Mad Nomadder lol looking forward to a video about you showing off your new haul. You just need to make a trip to Tenn to the lodge outlet store. LOL bring lots of money
@@strongsadventures I'm a tad confused, for some reason I thought you guys were from Texas....Gypsy Lynn said you are all from Louisiana. My whole world is upside down with that lol Can you straighten us up?
+The Mad Nomadder lol yes we are from north west Louisiana. We go to Texas all the time because it’s only 20 miles away. We live in Shreveport. We go to Tennessee as often as we can because we love that area. Now to truly confuse you my son is a a Jr at the University of Alabama.
@@strongsadventures My mind is blown.....lol We were definitely in your neck of the woods last year driving through to Texas. I'm trying to see why you go to Tennessee so much...lol I tend to try to head west...not east lol Curious for your reasons.
+The Mad Nomadder I sent you an email
Who made this setup? It’s really nice.
I bought hooks and uprights and I made everything else myself. Thank you so much I am pretty proud of it.
the old gun case is a great idea
Thank You and it does work really well.
that is very cool set up did you build that
+The Bobcat Guy I bought the uprights crossbar and hooks for 99 bucks. But I built everything else. Firebox and swing grills. Saved a ton of money.
@@strongsadventures nice job
Where did you get this nice set up ?
Great setup!! Can you show how you would raise the grate if you needed too?
Not a problem. Just look at our next video. you should see me raising the rack in the newest video
