All of those ants crawling along the rock behind your table and firebox made me nervous for the bare footed kids? ha ha This was a great success with your crumb cake, I just ordered the baking set. You have me hooked Steve.
Don Milligan Thanks Don! It was a fun treat, I like the kids to really have fun when camping so they will learn to love the outdoors. A special treat gives them one more thing to remember about our trips.
What a great video! I don't really need a billy pot, bit I wouldn't mind an OVEN! Thanks for sharing this with us. It also sounds like your family was having a pretty good time too. I am actually waiting for my wife to get home so we can leave on a weekend camping trip. The Nano is going too!
I ordered small whiskey stones for about $3 off ebay for 12, they are made out of soapstone which Holds heat more than almost any other stone, can't wait to try em out for baking
You lucky dog, that looked so good. I really like that pan you used. My wife and I have to try that. I'd like to send you a steamer rack that I use, but your system looks like you could fit a half a cake in it, mines smaller with the pot upright
As always, brilliant! Looking forward to trying this out. At Bryce Canyon recently I gathered a plastic grocery bag half full of Ponderosa sticks and cones. Kept my "campfire" going for an hour and a half, and didn't burn half of the cones! They seemed to burn rapidly at first, then make themselves into a "coal" that clogged the oven - didn't burn to ash like the sticks, BUT like a not very hot coal kept things going. Slower, cooler residual burn, but long lasting! Anyone else experience this with cones?
Christopher McKellar Hi Chris, I haven't burned cones enough to have any information for you, but it sounds interesting to experiment with. Thanks so much!
Hi Steve, do I have to have the coals on the top when baking bread or bannock?, or do you think they will be a flop?? I will be putting stones in the same as you have, the only differents is that I will be using a Trangia stove. atb Ray
sameold77 The knife is just a substitute for the Jacklore Classic I have on order with Sandy. The pan I used is one that I cut down a little to make it the perfect fit. I just got some in that I plan to customize and offer on my site hopefully by the weekend. I will also be offering bread pans for both the 16cm and the 14cm pots.
I'll definitely be looking for the pans on your site and will order it and the Zebra 16. I want to get the Nano to go with my 5" Firebox too. Would the knife you sell work for splitting wood like you were? Thanks for the quick reply.
sameold77 Yes! The Mora Companion HD has a thicker blade making it perfect for that kind of work. I like using a knife to split wood because you can be quite precise.
FireboxStove When will the pans be available on your site? Waiting for them to be offered so I can order everything at the same time. I'm gonna pick up the Zebra 16, some tongs, the Mora knife and maybe a toaks spoon when I order. Thanks Mark
What size pan fits into the 16cm Zebra pot and the 14cm Zebra pot? I just ordered the Zebra 14cm Lunch Box / Mess Kit due to one of your videos thinking I would use it more than the zebra pot, and then you go and make a video baking this deliciousness. I'm bummed! Not really, but really want to try it myself!
Steve ToledoOhio For the 16cm pot the largest pan that will fit is a 6 x 6 x 2inch which may need some tweaking to get it to fit well. I would recommend aluminum (anodized, which seals in the aluminum) I haven't measured the 14cm yet.
Great video, Steve. I was wondering why you placed the firesticks at the diagonal to secure the pot? Seems like the 16cm pot would have set nicely just using the top edges of the firebox. Keith.
K Judd Yes, it would rest on the edges without the Firesticks but raising it up allows the heat to flow further up the sides which distributes the heat over more surface area. That's one of the reasons I like the horizontal method so much. The heat is spread out a lot more than mostly just the bottom of the pot as with vertical baking. Thanks for asking!

Thank you, you will have to let me know how it goes when you get a chance to try baking in it.
Another good dish. Your family eats well in the outdoors.
Lellobeetle Yes! The benefits of having a dad in the stove business.
Thanks!
Ordered my firebox and zebra pot today, now I need that cake recipe!
You will love your Firebox and pot! We are thinking about a recipe book Shelley Raskin, thanks for watching.
You should have The Great Firebox Bake Off! Bring in some fellow camp buddies to compete.
Great video!
Thanks 😊
That looked like a great day for the family. Best wishes to them and for your business.
M00nsplitter Thank you!

+Zed Outdoors My pleasure Zed! Thanks for watching!
That looked an incredibley tasty cake the best I've seen cooked camp-side to date fantastic stuff guy's.
+Mossy Bark It was really good! I could go for some right now!
Great video Steve. I just received my zebra pot with your metal clips. Looks great. We'll try it out soon.
Thanks
jeremiah wilson Great. Thanks for the feedback!
you've convinced me i have to try that. ordering my firebox this weekend.
Daniel Romero Nice! You're going to like it! Please let me know how it goes.
Steve has a value kit , I'd go with the 16mm pot . That's what I've bought for the kids and grandson
Great video Steve, that crumble cake looks nice.
Don Milligan Thanks Don! It was a fun treat, I like the kids to really have fun when camping so they will learn to love the outdoors. A special treat gives them one more thing to remember about our trips.
Wow than crum cake looked so epic 👌🏻👏🏻from Denver Colorado

Bill Rust I hope you have a great time Bill! Thanks so much!
You need a bigger “bush” knife guy! Would work better splitting your wood. Another good video, nice cake too. Yum.
I ordered small whiskey stones for about $3 off ebay for 12, they are made out of soapstone which Holds heat more than almost any other stone, can't wait to try em out for baking
Very cool! Let me know how they work out!
that cake made me hungry
I hope that's a good thing! Thanks!
you are good dad...Emma looks happy...
Thank you!

n8mayfield Going horizontal does seem to open up some more space which is nice for me because I'm always cooking for the whole family.
Thanks Nathan!
You can’t bake a cake in the middle of the woods it’s impossible.
Steve: Hold my beer
Lol! Cheers!
Yes Steve, I will have a piece of that with maybe some custard or ice cream on it, but slightly bigger than yours, ha ha, no that huge one is mine!!
CharlieTango 1 Laughing, sounds good!
That's 2 video's in front of me now, but don't worry I will catch you up.Steve lol

CharlieTango 1 I don't know? I think it would probably be fine without the coals on top.
Two questions for you Steve. What knife were you using to split the wood? And where did you get that 6x6x2 size pan you used?
Thanks

sameold77 Hi Mark, I cut down the square pans today and took some pictures. I hope to get them up on our site by the end of the day.

FireboxStove Makes sense. Thanks
great video thanks how did you make the rack
henk Schutte I just used a hanger wire. Thanks for asking Henk.
That was BOMB!!!! :D Still trying to find isopropyl down here :(
Alba Diz Hi Alba, I wouldn't recommend ISO. Ethanol would be my first choice, followed by methanol.
Thanks, as always, for the comment!
FireboxStove Where can I find that Steve? Cause I'm a bit confused :(
Alba Diz Well, here the ethanol comes mixed with some methanol and it's called de-natured alcohol. Usually in hardware stores as a solvent.
You can cook them ants on that log as well good video 👍
Thank you for the comment Martin!
Have you ever tried baking without the hot coals on top of the pan? Are the coal on top really necessary? Thanks
That depends on what you're baking. If you're using the square pan that divides the top and bottom making it very nessicary
Perfect Steve! What was the mix?
Bob Wampler Krustease. Thanks for asking Bob!
Mmmmmmmmmm🎉
Tim Raine Thanks Tim!
