Ughhhh your killin me Smalls!!!! Now I gotta buy a friggn' tripod!!!

[Mr. Bones]

might consider runnin several lbs. chopped bacon through, in th meantime, seasonin, betwixt each batch.
It can always be stored in fridge or freezer, fer future dishes, an help refill th Grease canister, right there, up next to th stovetop...

Thanks everyone. Going to cure the dutch and make a pot of beans as soon as the weather cools off a bit.

You can also cut three equal lengths of chain and hang a round grate from the tripod. Great way to 'just wing' Santa Maria style open fire cooking.

Love it love it love it -

or a whole bone-in pork butt!

[Mr. Bones]

Understandable, Brother: Not everybody has th Creds to even land a job like that!
Think I was makin $6-$8.50 / hr durin that timeframe.

That's a couple of levels above my pay grade Bones

[Mr. Bones]

I do indeed, but also have cooked handmade food, quality stuff with my name on th entre, like: ever started a batch of chili with 250 lbs. of ground chuck, Brother?

It can be summat of a challenge, both makin, then monitorin meal count, consumption to make dang dang certain ya don't run out afore ya can bring up another batch, I humbly submit fer consideration...

[ofelles]

Mr. Bones You, my friend, must have one heck of an appetite 👍

[Mr. Bones]

Great fer small, personal meals, certes! lol

[ofelles]

I have a CI 12qt stock pot also and love it for stews and beans.

[Mr. Bones]

DamFine setup ya gots goin on there, Brother, alla round!

That Camp Chef 12 qt. is definitely a Crowd Pleaser, Sir! Best be after gittin some seasonin goin in/on it, though...

I'm summat intrigued by yer firepit construction...them pavers, firebricks, landscape stones fer buildin walls, etc?
Looks like yer lil Sarsens (uprights) was sliced off on a masonry saw, steada interleaved, as I thought at first glances...

Followed this right here, so I'm along fer th Ride...

Congrats on yer new gear, Amigo!
