DIY Dutch Oven Cooking Setup with Bonus Swing Grills
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Several of you have asked for information on the dimensions of my Outdoor Cooking set up that I use with my Dutch Ovens. Here is the detailed, in-depth measurements on EVERYTHING so that you can build your own Outdoor Kitchen or Cowboy Cooker.
If you would like to contact us, here is our contact information:

I have been asked by a few people to share the dimensions of my Cowboy/Dutch oven cooker. Well here are all the measurements you should need to build one for yourself. If you build one please share a video of how it turned out.
Thanks Billy and Rhonda
Simplicity. In a world of 'Overly Engineered' contraptions, your set-up slaps them in the face with a large hand of reality! Love it!
Thank you so very much Miles.
I was saving up to purchase a complete set from Johnny and his wife passed away. I sure do miss them and wish I was able to have purchased a set back then. I do appreciate all the measurements and maybe will be able to fabricate my own set. Thank you.
You are so welcome. I really hope that you build one because this one has brought us so many great meals. I was thinking of selling them but the price would just be to costly to make a quality product that no one would want to purchase it.
Thank you for sharing your information on your grill, what an awesome setup. Hate that I had to miss your live premier but work keeps getting in the way.
Dan don't worry about it. Rhonda and I both know about the work situation. Thanks for all the support you give us .
Thanks for showing your set up, someone was super excited
LOL I bet he was. HHHmmmmm wonder how long before you have one in your backyard 🤣🤣🤣
Nice work, and thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. We really appreciate you.
What an awesome, yet simple design...my wife and I have just sold our home and are enjoying our new RV life! I learned campfire and cast iron cooking from my father who was on of the last true cowboys...I have got to get a rig like yours! Who knows maybe we will see each other at a campground in the future! Thanks for the video!!
That is awesome! Rhonda and I can't wait to hit the road. So glad that you enjoyed the setup. It really works well for us. That is except the fire box. It has warped over time. Hoping to do a video of that and how we fixed it soon. Thanks so much for watching the video David and I know your Father would be proud that you are going to keep the tradition alive. Thanks again and hope to see you down the road.
Great job with the grill. You could go in to business making those for campers. Thumbs up.
Thank you BrendaG. I have thought about it but just don't have the time right now.
I'm big fan of this setup. I love the thought process and engineering that went into this. I love the repurpose of the storage bags. I love that you gave all the measurements. I think it's just the right size, especially if you could break down the fire box. I'm not sure how to do that, but... Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎. P. S. The quality of your videos are getting much better. 😎.
Thank you so much. Yeah I'm not sure how to build a Fire box that will break down but hey I also didn't know how to build the thing before I built it either LOL. I am working on a set of wheels so I can move it around like a dolly. As always your comments are very much welcomed. Thank you for the kind words
@@strongsadventures definitely like the wheels idea. 😎.
Hi Grumpy😁
Thanks for sharing! I have been looking at a lot of designs. This by far is best setup. The swing nut idea is perfect. Happy camping!
Thank you so much David. I am really proud of this setup for sure. I hope some of my ideas can help you in making yours. Thank you so much for stopping by and watching the video.
I love your set up. Glad I got to use it in real life. We still need to get together again
Yes we do! We miss y'all. We had lots of things planned but things happen as you know. So sorry to hear of your furbaby passing. We know what a rough time that can be. Thoughts prayers and positive energy to y'all
BAM!!! I have oven envy! You still have the best setup I’ve seen on UA-cam. You have a knack for talent and Rhonda did an excellent job wit the added content. I actually had some questions answered tonight by your video. If you get tired of doing videos, you could be on Forged with fire or at least QVC
LOL I'm shooting for QVC cause I have goals 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOL and the Lord said you shall not have oven envy. Just build your own Hahahaha
I sure wish I knew how to weld. Been wanting a rig like that for a while. Appreciate you explaining so much detail of how you made yours
Thank you. I am really proud of this. I really like the way it cooks too. Thank you for watching. Johnny Nix sells some that are similar to this one. I think that his web site Is Y'all Eat Yet. He has some really nice stuff too.
It was Johnny Nix when he was on rfdtv that I first seen one. Keep meaning to save up to order one from him. Thanks much! I think you did very well with yours
Thank you I really appreciate the complements.
Great video! The design is awesome! You should sell these! Someone pays and then you make it! Thanks for sharing!!
I think I might try forging the hooks. If I do I will give you a set.
Great job on your set up. And thanks for all your videos
Thank you so much Eric. We really appreciate it.
That is one sweet set up! I would love one but I would have to get someone to build that for me! You need to mass produce those! People would buy those! Enjoy your night my Friend!
Thank you Ed. LOL I would build them but the shipping would be outrageous. Hope you have a good trip my friend
There are already plenty of people that do; do you think it’s automatically profitable or a good idea for people to sell things that they build just because they can?
Very nice set. I really like the gun case for packing. Great idea.
Thank you Frazier. LOL that was actually Rhonda's Idea and It does work great The chisel bag also works very well for the hooks as well. Thank you so much and We want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I missed the live chat! You have a very well thought out set up! Thanks for the dimensions! Keep up the great videos!
Thank you. Hopefully you can cook on it with me at LOLApoloza. I actually use the short cross bar and the smaller swing grill over the campfire sometimes. I think you said something about only having material to build something like that.
Yup i got the angle iron and grate and some square tubing...left over from another project. I'm going to be cleaning up behind a shop next week I'll keep my eye open for some 1/2 round stock!
@@strongsadventures my welder walked off so i go to my buddy's across the street and between the two of us we weld up stuff...but I'm just a hack welder
Other Billy😁Nice opening!
Thank you Nez 🤗
Love the hooks😁👍
They are awesome! Thank you so much Nez.
Thanks for sharing it's great a great video it's nice to have people like you there to help out.....thanks again
Well thank you for asking about it. I'm sorry it took us so long. I hope the information will be helpful. If you do build one I hope you will share some pictures
Talent! This is so great!
Thank you so much Teressa I am really proud of this.
Very nice, Thank you very much for what you did here.
Hey thank you so much for watching. Hope it was helpful.
this video was great! really enjoyed watching it
Thank you we really appreciate you watching. Have a great week my friend.
That’s awesome Billy! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you Dom. We really appreciate you watching.
Great set-up. Thanks for this.
Thank you so much. We really appreciate it.
That is a totally awesome set up. Thanks for sharing how it was made. You got extra watch time on this video because we had to back track multiple times to watch your fur babies lol. We have a Boston terrier named Sebastian and couldn't resist watching your babies.
Thank you so much for watching. The grey one is Lola and the brown one is Maggie we also have a pica pom named Lucy. Maggie is the official channel taste tester so you can also see her in some cooking videos at the end.
@@strongsadventures aww that's awesome, I will be checking them out. We also have Blue (English Bulldog and beagle mix) Oscar (big fat orange and white cat) and Bremen (gray tabby belongs to my son but staying with us until he gets moved).
@@cherylhirschdiyfun4636 We really like fur babies
Thats one heck of a set up!
Great video and detail!
Cast Iron Crew!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Dee.
I sure like this rig!
Thank you so much. Maybe we can get together and cook together some day.
Strong's Adventures I would love to do that sometime! This Covid crap has everything jacked up...
@@MrCastIron Yep we have scraped most of or plans to go anywhere or do anything. I don't know if the 5th wheel is even going to leave the driveway the rest of the year.
You nailed this one bud!! Thanks for the knowledge!!! Have a great week!!
Thank you sir that means a lot to me coming from you. Hope you have a great week as well.
Thanks for sharing it buddy.
You bet. I hope it was helpful.
Awesome!
We got to build you one of these my friend!
Sorry I missed your premier guys. You know why lol. Awesome video and the design is amazing! Much love to you guys! ✌💖🤗
It's ok Dubbers. Thank you. We love you too. Can't wait till we can camp together again.
me too @@strongsadventures
I'm gonna have to watch this again and take some measurements. 👍
Please do! We have had 2 or 3 people that emailed us Pics of the ones that they made. We are hoping to make a video of that soon.
You need a lid/cover with a small opening at the top and then you also have a smoker feature
Yes sir you are correct. We actually have done this already. We started out using aluminum foil . Then we got an old Webber charcoal lid and it works awesome. We have a video of it in use making some Ribs I think.
@@strongsadventures nice!
Very nice setup Billy..
Yes I really like it Joe thank you. Now you have a really really nice set up. Love that rotisserie. Thanks for watching
Ya you did an awesome job building that setup very nice indeed, i'm jealous lol
atb john
Thank you so much. I really am pretty proud of it.
Yours is the best cooking set up ever and you are mighty generous to share the details. God bless you, Cowboy!!
I appreciate that, thank you so much.
Wow I love that set up be so cool to have one but a smaller set up maybe 1 swing being my family small be cool to take one with me camping or just out for the day and night fishing. Great video sir. You have a great week. God bless
Thank you so much Danny. I will see what I can come up with in my spare time. A smaller more portable version does sound like a good Idea. Thank you for watching and I hope you have a great week as well
@@strongsadventures uea be so cool a one person well 2 person setup just enough to feed 2 people or 4 if you only eat one burger. Lol. Thanks man you have a blast. God bless
This is the best wood fire cooking setup I have seen . Thank you so much for sharing . I will be building one . You are right it is simple and so cleaver and I have most of the steel in my scrap rack . Thanks again . George
Hey thanks for looking at the video. I really love this set up an I hope it works well for you. We would love to see a video of the completed cooker. Thanks again for watching
Love that setup.
Thank you Rob.
This is a pretty sweet setup. Got me to thinkin.. Thumbs up
Thank you sir . I am really proud of it . We really appreciate you stopping in
Awesome Billy. Thx for sharing.✌️
Thank you Momma T and thanks for watching
I'm gonna thumbs up and share this for future reference... Good job.!!... Thanks man.!!
Thank you Pappy. If you build one please share
Outstanding brother 🇺🇸🔥 🔥
Red thank you so much
@@strongsadventures ... You bet brother 🇺🇸
Nice DIY setup. 👍🤝😊
Thank you so much for watching my friend.
lol billy you got a great set up brother . dont think i could make one but hey if i ever do i will be shocked brother lol . tell the wow girl i said hi .
All the cool stuff you make dark! You could do it
Hey y'all i just got back from a recon mission day trip to GZ cooper lake state park! Really nice park love my spot in the equestrian loop looks like you and papa Texas got the best 2 sites on the loop. This SP rocks !
That is really cool.What site are you gonna be in and what day are you going to get there?
@@strongsadventures im in equestrian loop #106...not all the tables have covers as mine dont...the day use area in the middle is nice but i can see I'll bring all 5 of my fleamarket tables we'll need them ...I'll arrive thursday the 24 of Oct
Great vlog and nice cooking set up. Greetings my friend and have a good day. 👍56
Thank you I am pretty proud of it. Thank you for watching and have a great week my friend
Been her for.a minute this rocks
So sorry Grant I know I used to follow you! I was wondering why I wasn't getting U2ber3 from you
Hey dude I like your Dutch oven outdoor cooking set.. what is the brand of it.. oh bye the way I live in Ida Louisiana north of you.. my wife and I camp a lot too… thanks for sharing keep cooking
The Hooks and uprights were purchased out of Colorado some where. I built everything else myself. This video gives you all the dimensions if you want to build one yourself . Oh wow yea been through Ida a lot of times. We used to camp at Atlanta State park a lot and we would pass there often. Hey thanks so much for watching and commenting on the video.
@@strongsadventures you rock man,, thanks for sharing.. and happy cooking
I was subscriber #700! Awesome!
That's awesome PT
Nice setup its time to cook something
Thank you. LOL trust me It gets a good work out. thank you for watching
Yea Baby!
Hey there Peachy B.
Nice set-up .. we have a single swing grill on our big fire pit at camp.. but nothing portable like that..
LOL well maybe its time for an up grade. Not really hard to build and you would be rockin at the camp
BILLY I THINK YOU REALLY NEED TO MAKE AND SALE THESE. I KNOW I WOULD LOVE TO BUY ONE. SWAMP HUGS FROM LOUISIANA
Oh Miss Cathy just the material would be a lot. I would feel guilty asking anyone for that much. Thank you for supporting us though. Maybe I could make one for a 1000 sub giveaway but SSSHHHHHH LOL
Sweet
The New video coming out tomorrow will have all the dimensions and measurements. 5:45 as a premiere would love to see you there
Man that’s a cool set up there!!! You should make them to sell!! For all us that can’t weld😂😂 great video buddy thanks for sharing
Thank you so much Ryan. I have been asked to by many people but the shipping would be as much as the setup I am afraid. Mine is currently about twice as heavy as any that are sold. That I can find anyways. Thank you so much for watching
That's a sweet setup you got bro! If I ever have time for another project than I'm deffinetly making one. Your a freakn engineer Billy! If you made these per order and sold these online...you could make a killn'. You can call em "Bills Grills" or "Strong's Cowboy Cooker" or "Billy's Grilly's". I have plenty more great ideas where that came from hahahaha
Thank you but I did get the idea from another Dutch Oven cook. I could build them but it would cost a fortune to ship. Love all the names though and I promise if I ever go into business and use one of the names you suggested I will buy you a bottle of hot sauce LOL (although the mail man probably will break it LOL )
@@strongsadventures well I hope you get rich making those grills so I can have that free bottle of sauce 🤣🤣
Can you show a better view of the bottom of the box and the drain I'll be building one soon
Hey Billy. Nice set up!
Do you know where I may buy that set up?
Thanks. We enjoy your channel.
Thank you so much for asking aj. Johnny Nix used to sell one that was built as heavy duty as mine but I don't think that he is selling them any more. The closest thing I could find was from Guide Gear cooking but it is not as heavily constructed as mine. If you know some one with welding/fabricating skills you could have them make one for you. I would really like to start making and selling these but between both of our real jobs and all the other things we have to do it is not possible at this time . The other factor is that if I would make them the cost for so few products would be really expensive and then there would be shipping cost. We really appreciate your loyalty and following us. If it is ever possible for us to start making this set up for a price that we think is reasonable for folks like yourself to purchase we will let you know. Thank you so Much Again for your interest and don't forget There Ain't No Lovin Like Dutch Oven Lovin.~Billy
Is there need for a vent in the fire box to keep the fire where you want it? I know you have a drain.
Hey thank you so much for your question. Well this is prototype #1 and as big as I built the firebox no there is not need for a vent. However if I can ever get some free time I would like to build a smaller firebox and yes I would think that it would have to have some form of ventilation in it. My main concern with it would be that I don't want embers to be able to fall out and on to the ground. Thank you so much for your question. We always ad these to future ideas that we have.
I think ive seen you with this camping somewhere.
I am really proud of it and take it with us everywhere we go. Thank you for stopping by.
My father in law has the exact same setup and I am looking to buy one for my husband. I asked my mother in law where they got it and she said all she could remember was a website or something called yall eat yet. Well everytime I goole that a food truck comes up..... Do you sale these or know what site she is referring to? Thanks so much
I do know the exact site you are referring to. The Mans name is Johnny Nix. He sold these at one time and he also had a show on the RFD Channel called Y'all eat Yet. We have a few videos of some of his recipes. His set up is where I came up with the Idea of mine. I think he had a few deaths in his family and no longer makes and sells this set up which is very unfortunate. Also unfortunately at this time with my wife and myself working full time jobs I can not build these setups to sell. This video is really in-depth and if you take it to any welding shop they should be able to make it for you. Not sure what it might cost because the price of the material fluctuates so much but I would think it might be around 1 thousand dollars for the material and labor if you have someone else build it. Probably half that if you can do it yourself. Maybe at some point I can make these for sell but at this time I just cant with my current job. Thanks so much for your question though.
awesome dear
Thank you so much tasha. I really like this set up
nice set up.. where or how did u make the hooks
Thank you so much for watching the video. We bought the hook set up somewhere out of Colorado but not sure where because it has been a while .
Like 60 and supported cheers
Thank you Grant. I had to re sub you for some reason. Why can't the crappy people i sub to go away ?
waw amazing 👍
Thank you so much my friend
How well will it stand up to the elements if i leave it out alot??
Well Carla we don't usually leave the whole setup out in the elements but we do leave the firebox outside. It seems to be holding up very well after 8 years or so. We do give it a new coat of paint every spring though. Thank you so much for your question. I hope I answered it ok.
@@strongsadventures thank you 😊😊
We’re did you get your setup at
Hey Thank you Leo. As stated in the video I bought the hooks and uprights out of Colorado and built everything else myself .
nice set up ! how about making one that is much taller like a table height so no need to bend way down ?
Thank you for stopping by Pete. Well the thing about that is then your hooks would be way up high in the air and these pots can be really heavy not to mention very hot. Now I do have a Dutch Oven table that I do use to cook on when I am not using the hook set up and that really helps with not having to bend over and I have an attachment that I can use one of the swing grills with it. I use it in quite a few of the videos that we have on the channel. Thanks again for watching.
Where did you get the hooks from?
Bill I am so sorry, we can't remember where we got the hooks from. It was somewhere in Colorado. Rhonda got them for me for my birthday more than 15 years ago. She thinks it was a Chuck Wagon supply place. I patterned all of my stuff from Johnny Nix, but unfortunately it looks like he is no longer making them either. All I can find now on internet searches is stuff that is way less inferior to what I have. I am really sorry that I couldn't help you but thank you so much for checking out our video and stopping by.
@@strongsadventures NO PROBLEM!! I really appreciate your quick response... I agree, everything I've found online just doesn't measure up to what you have. Take good care of it... lol... you may never find another set like them. However, if you do, please let me know!
Did you drill 1/4" holes in the base or just the 1" hole for the drain?
Yes I also drilled 1/4" inch holes in the fire box along with the 1" large drain hole. The 1/4" holes help the water drain if for some reason I have forgotten to take out the main drain plug. Thank you for your question.
Wow!
Yeah LoL Thank you so much for watching
Do you have anyone that could build this? I don’t have anyone that’s a welder neat me. I travel through your ares about every 6 months.
I am really sorry but right now time just doesn't permit me to build another one. I did get the Idea from Johnny Nix a really great Dutch Oven/Cowboy cook. He has a web site and I know that he used to build and sell these. This is his web site shop.yalleatyet.com. I really am hoping to be able to build and sell these but it will be a few years yet. Thank you so much for your interest. Billy Strong.
It very cool, but I don't think I'll be making one.
LOL Val you never know when you might just take a welding class. Thanks for watching
How much to build me one?
Not sure yet. Contact me in a few months.
Hi new friend hope you visit me. That looks really good DK if I'd use it on the road just a hanging pot over a fire. It's really nice though.🙏
We actually Dutch Oven cook using several methods .Not just this big cooker. But this is my pride and joy
@@strongsadventures yeah i seen some of the food it looks so good I'd love to have one .
Full watch, Like 46, What a cool set-up! We are volunteering to be Taste-Testers, in case you need any help with the results!
Thank you and thank you for watching. Yes I am pretty proud of it. LOL anytime you are in Louisiana you are more than welcome to be our taste testers.
bla bla bla bla
Awww thank you so much. So glad you understood the words coming out of my mouth.
