My daughter and I were at the local co-op this morning picking up horse and duck feed, and the end cap on the isle we were standing in front of had candy bars, castrating tools, and hard liquor all on the same shelf. You don't see that much in the city...
That smoker looks amazing. What a brilliant job you've done Ben.
Love how you guys are working together, supporting each other with knowledge and experience. I follow both families and love you all. God bless.
I love y'alls videos. You both have have so many talents and are so intelligent that it is refreshing watching somebody on TH-cam who knows wwhat they are doing and doesn't boast like so many who don't know diddly but think they know everything. Just keep being real. Love your family.
What a blessing to have the Rhodes as friends! It often takes a while to make friends when you move to a new area. And I imagine it's even harder when you homestead since you are so busy. There seems to be a great homestead community in NC. You all are blessed!
My dear old dad was a welder and builder. Your tools remind me so much of him in his garage doing his thing. Thanks for the memories. ❤️
Your very talented Ben, I love your new grill / smoker...
Lots of homesteaders do wood - loved seeing a little metalworking. That is an awesome band saw. Would love to see more time lapse metal shop stuff. Thanks for sharing. GO Bumblewood !!!
Fantastic job on the smoker Ben! I thought you bought it at first. Nice of Justin and Fam to come over and help. Stay blessed beautiful people ❤🙏
Wow! That smoker is legit! You could probably make and sell those. I know my man would want one!
Love you all... can do attitude..... and obviously getting the job done! No matter what ...!!
Same, my husband has always wanted a smoker. I may have to make him one of these. It won't be anywhere near as good though.
Little bit of time that y'all been living there you already got a good looking homestead ,chickens running around you got pigs cleaning out your forest👋👋👋👋👋. Stay safe, stay strong ,stay healthy ,god bless and enjoy life. 👨🍳🎅🥓🥑🥩🌶🚍🚌
I would have enjoyed a video on the making of that grill. Would have been so cool. Prob would have gotten a mil views too.
Love the new smoker. You could make some to sell locally if you can find some more free/cheap components.
Love seeing the community that you have surrounded yourself with. Never enough time to spend as much with friends as you want.
I love watching the sparks fly. The Smoker looks great, I'm sure that Pork Butt is going to be delicious. I was glad you included your kids in the piglet process. The skills they learn at an early age will stick with them and make them better humans.
Is there anything you cant find in your woods? I expect you to unearth a WWII plane next. I so enjoy your videos!
The smoker looks great!🙏 And so happy for y’all to be blessed through your business!
You guys are rocking just a bit!!! What a difference since spring. Love your REAL channel!
CHRISTMAS TIME
You have a business that really takes off at this time of year, so grant yourself grace. You are doing more than fine. Be at peace😊
I love mornings routines with the Rhodes and bbq evenings with the Hollars.
The best family blog on TH-cam thank you very much God bless you
I love how thorough you were with prepping your barrel smoker.
So glad you've worked yourselves to a place where Meg can soap and Ben can work metal! The relief you've each expressed when your workshops were set up is good to see.
I love watching the two of you look at each other in the eye when you are talking. I see so much love. Love watching you guys.
That smoker looks very professional, looking forward to seeing how well it cooks.
I would like to thank you both for letting us see first hand what love and family can accomplish. The kids look at you both with such love and respect. The best example of this is how they jump to help you out. THIS IS WHAT
LOVE AND FAMILY IS ALL ABOUT! God Bless.
Meg your husband reminds me of mine he could build anything
Thank you so much for keeping us posted. I so love to hear what you're all up to. I'm living vicariously from Topeka, Ks. The baby piglets are adorable!
LOVE the new grill! I'm excited to get my Bumblewood soaps. I'm on the West coast and was able to get an order in with the new ordering time!
J Kri Oh me too! I set an alarm so I could make sure I got some of Meg’s soaps, I live in Washington so with the new time change I could finally get some before they were all sold out
I was thinking the "tool" was going to be wood... should have known a metal worker would make it out of metal! 👍😉
So good you had a blast making the smoker. All your hard work past 6 months needs balancing with a fun project. 👍👍
Good job Ben on the smoker! Maybe you should make them for people close to you; to make some money. That is awesome! Thank you to the Rhodes for helping Ben and Meg! sure in nice to have people that can count on one another.
Yeah pork butt! I’d love to know the spices you use. Ben - it is so good to see you using your shop. It’s been a long time since CA lol. Also thrilled at the success of Bumblewood. What a confirmation that your “crazy” lifestyle will actually work. 😊. May the Lord bless you and your family today and always.
Justin was just advertising his shirt so he doesn’t end up doing his chores as a pregnant lady, lol!
Lol!!
Oh my that is so funny. lol Shame on you Justin (lol)
Maybe he should wear the chicken suit with the pregnancy belly.
@@RoderickGMacLeod lol
Pretty looking smoker 😍😎🍻
I miss my pot bellied pig. She was three but we couldn’t keep her in a residential area! Your blessed!
Those little piggies are so adorable! And seeing them standing next to mama let me realize how teeny tiny they are! They are just precious! Ben, that smoker is amazing! Like some other commenters have said, you could make a lot of money selling those. I have even wanted to ask you if you could make me a little rocket stove like yours? I was going to wait to ask after you completed the work on the house, but thought I'd just throw it out there now too! Great work on the new smoker.👍 I sure miss you all having vids more often. Can't tell you how many times I check throughout the week to see if you dropped a new vid and TH-cam failed to notify me! You guys are my favorite peeps!😉❤
You guys are getting more fun to watch with every video! Loved the shop scenes (awesome machines), chickens, cute little pigs, new bbq'r...... great video!
Sweet smoker! You could totally make those custom-to-order and sell online. 😎🐖🥓🍗😎
Great job on the smoker. One more thing added to a good life on the homestead.
You guys are a riot LOL. I remember nut 28 calves in one day, invited friends and bought the beer , they had no idea what was about to happen, City Boys lol, see keep kicking
We used a rubber band device to do our goats, drop off in about a week. No problems with infection etc. Nice work on the smoker.
And again, Ben creates a tool. I’m watching this in 9/23 and I just love to see you build, whether it’s wood or metal. You know in your head what you want, and then…tada! There it is. 🌹❤️ NJ
That smoker that you made Ben was awesome looking. I want to also thank Meg for the restock. My husband was able to purchase some items for me.
So glad to see you post! Miss you all but know you are getting into your routine and working like crazy. You both are so talented and amazing in all you do! So happy you have found your niche~ it seems to fit well on you! Great things in the future I know as you two never say never.
Waiting for the next soap release as I've missed it each time living on the west coast and I so want to try your products. :)
Maybe next time! :-)
The fields are looking great and the chickens and the pigs are really cleaning and tilling for you.........it's so amazing of some of the things we take for granted or see as work but when we really get to engage visually seeing the results on the channels, it really is amazing how it all goes hand in hand. Many blessings on that! It's a job and a half I know but the boys will be so knowledagle as they grow.........it will become something they just KNOW how to do! Great education.....they will never be hungry for sure! So many kudos to you both.
All the best to you in all you do!
You should make some Smoker/Grills and sale them. That looks professional. The Piggy holder too.
Excellent smoker!!!! You need to market this! Love you sweet young couple.
There is an anaesthesia called lidocaine which should be used to reduce pain suffered by piglets during castration. The alternative is chemical castration or banding.
Save your cherry or hickory tree scraps if you have any and they are great for smoking meats.
We had a smoker at the restaurant I worked at and we did wings, turkey, chicken, and fresh pork ribs, chops and bacon. People loved it....The extra left overs we would seal well and put in the freezer.
I donated cherry and peach wood from my farm but if you have a orchard nearby they do trimmings and maybe they let you have some.
Love the way you come up with make it from what we have. That’s homesteading.
Awesome about the BB store I'm so so happy for you all. Cool smoker reminds me of the grill my daddy made out if a drum like that he gifted it to a neighbor before we left Texas. Happy early Christmas
Thanks nice to see you again. Nice smoker, good job . God Bless.
Great job guys! So excited that my soap is on its way! Missed out on the Christmas scent but maybe you will make some more after the holidays. The baby piggies are growing fast! They are so cute!
We have heard you say it before... “teamwork makes the dream work!”
Use what you have, build things, and live life. You can accomplish anything. Your family is great and you learn as you go. Have a great weekend.
I am not prone to posting stuff like this, but I just love you kids!! Your energy and relationship are wonderful to watch.
You guys make me feel like leaving South Africa and move to USA... Enjoy every moment of it!! Love the life you live! Very inspirational!
Oh Meg you hair looks so pretty when it's down.
That is an excellent looking smoker ....much better than what you can buy .
We just banded ours.......no cutting involved and it always worked great. Cant stand to cut babies. Love the smoker, trying to get my hubby to make one when he gets the time.
You banded piglets? How?
Hubby just corrected me that is wasn't the piglets it was the ferrel male cats that we banded. Sorry about that.
You can buy a band gun. My dad used to use it on our pigs and lambs.
My hubby is a tool and die maker. You guys are fun to watch as you create new products. :)
Happy to see Justin and his family helping
Missed seeing you on here
FABULOUS!!!! smoker.
Whe I was a kid on the farm, the men would pour sugar into tho now empty testicle sockets. No pain and antibiotic properties.... especially when there is no chance of flies.
Awesome smoker! Looking forward to receiving my humble wood order! Poor piggies.
Love weatching, also had a good laugh you making the old smoker with Chrismas turkey.Well it worked well. South Africa
For Bumblewood why not have a pre-order option on top of what you were planning on keeping in stock. It would keep the purchases flowing and it might be a system for inventory management and for purchasing of raw materials.
I can see why it wouldn’t be a favorite chore. I’m looking forward to see the new grill in action!
Don't envy that job ! I miss seeing y'all more often ! But hey , life is busy with your Christmas orders and home schooling and cooking ! Can't wait to see more work on the mobile home ! Be blessed !
Fantastic job on that smoker! I want one😉 Poor little piggies. Hard jobs that need to be done on the farm. Hope ya'll have a blessed weekend. love and prayers.....Patti
Great job on the barrel grill/smoker, you should be proud of that. Just in time to smoke a ham for christmas.
I love amoked pork but my husband is Puerto Rican and me Italian so along with his special Spanish spices I added brown sugar and apple juice
That smoker is awesome! Great job,Ben!
Brilliant visual-spatial abilities demonstrated by the drum roaster/smoker.
Chickens look beautiful & Dr Justin to the rescue ❤️❤️Smokers looks beautiful Ben you’re very talented 🎄🎄🇺🇸🇺🇸
On the dairy we would use rubber bands the bulls. Testies would just drop off a couple weeks latter.
I was so happy to hear that you were going to slow down.... too bad you decided not to... it is a learned skill for sure! I missed ordering again...sold out before I could get to it.
Excellant smoker!!!!!Those all the best smokers....Brisket, ham ,hangers for Jerky!! You can tell you all have been busy.Have a great Xmas.
I just love how gosh darn handy you are!
How many times can I say "Great video!"? It's just a joy to watch you guys. I know you're happy having access to your shop again, Ben. How did your device work?
First time jitters, but you will be fine. Btw, love your NEW and improved cooker.
I've missed seeing y'all this week.
Ben, check out Al Lumnah on Lumnah Acres. He built a pig mobile tractor and uses it on their homestead to move his pigs around to different areas he wants cleared.
glad there was a video today. THANKS
I always learn something interesting. Never knew I'd learn today what I just learned. lol!
NO SHIT YOU BUILT IT!! So frickin cool, dang! Not trying to diminish your talents, Ben but my 1st thought was cool, wonder where they bought it , DANG 👏👏 I am jealous, I could prolly do the hillbilly smoker but man, what a talent! Love, Hugs & Blessings y'all
@The Hollar Homestead
I noticed that you had some "Direct heat effects" on the bottom of your Thanksgiving Turkey. Have you designed some kind of baffle system to mitigate that in the new oil drum smoker? It would be great to make it removable so you can use it as a grill in addition to smoking.
That smoker is Beautiful! Such a job! Poor little piggies, but I understand why you need to do it.
Fantastic job on the smoker!
Great job on the smoker Ben and bless the little piggies hearts! Always look forward to your videos and it was good to see the Rhodes come and help!!!
Lovin' that grill/smoker!
The time to slow down is LATER. These are productive active years...grow family...business...on and on and thank God for the capacity and wisdom!!!
Farm life is awesome Been there done that. But wow that is an nice smoker
Love that smoker!! I gotta get my mom to build me one!!
Looks good love the smoker looks like you brought it from the store for a good amount of money. Keep up the good work.
Ben you are so gifted I love watching all your videos. From stefania South Africa
Sure is looking like a farm now! Very nice.👍🏻👍🏻
My Dad built a wood stove out of a 55 gallon drum. Worked great.
Ben nice job on the cooker! Looks great.
watching ben tell justin that their life isn't normal...I read a book called Normal is just a setting on a dryer....we are sixty three and living off grid in the mountains a couple of hours north of you and happier than snot and living our dream
I sure have missed y’all! I know you are soooo busy getting things done on the homestead. Y’all have accomplished sooooo much in such a short time. By the time I get notification about the soap, it already sold out. Even though I haven’t gotten any yet, I am so happy for you that it is going so well. I’ll catch it at the right time one of these days. That smoker looks awesome. As many others have said, Ben could make those & sell them. I know making knives is Ben’s passion. I have been looking for a good knife for a young man that just became an Eagle Scout. You are both very talented & this lifestyle is perfect for y’all. I predict great things in your future. Blessings on y’all & your homestead. Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️😁
I hv yet to get to order some soap, lol. Everytime I financially can it is all sold out. Hopefully soon....I want some peppermint soap.
