DAVID loved your back yard one man breakfast extravaganza, what a natural way to show how God needs to be invited in all aspects of our lives.thank you for praying before the fun begins. Another good handle mitt for cast are dollar store eye glass case's they work great.thanks a subscriber.

I like that you prayed 👍🏻 It’s almost unheard of on the internet today. I’ll try this next time I’m out camping. God Bless

Love my little 6” pan. It’s great for one person. Cast is a lot more versatile than ppl make out, just take care of it.

Iron skillets are my main cooking utensil. I have cooked in them for over 40 years. I cook spanish rice, goulash, spaghetti sauce, and many other things in them. Nothing wrong with boiling water in an iron skillet. The important thing is drying them over heat when you are done cleaning them to evaporate any moisture so that they don't rust. Then apply a thin coat of cooking oil to reseason them. Also, a lid of some sort will help cook grits, rice, noodles, and other things that have to boiled, faster and more efficiently by holding in the steam and heat. Without a lid the water will evaporate faster and you may end up needing to add more water, and it takes longer to cook the food without a lid. Iron skillets can also be used to bake in. Johnny cakes (corn muffin mix baked as one cake), cornbread, cobblers, etc. will bake in an iron skillet. If you are baking outdoors with coals and don't have a lid, a second iron skillet of the same size can be turned upside and placed on top of the one you are baking in, and then coals placed on top of the upside down skillet.

I used my 5 inch sander with a medium grit on my skillet till it was very slick. Then cured it in the oven. Learned this from Kent Rollins on his channel. You made a great video for breakfast in the wind.

I just moved to a mountain community and have a great area outside I set up for outdoor cooking. I can now practice and enjoy working your videos. I really have come to favor the out door coffee. I live in California and no one here knows about the wonder of grits. My advantage is, I often work in Thomasville NC and can eat all the grits available to me. The Lord has blessed me with real grits. The Lord has blessed you too!

I like to put my eggs directly in the grits once the butter and cheese are melted, cooking them just enough to have slightly runny yellows when everything is done. Enjoyed your video and subscribed for more!

I live in California and I love grits. My brother brought them home from basic training in Mississippi. That was back in the 60’s. I’ve eaten them ever since.

This is the first time I heard you pray. Thanks for being bold, and expressing your beliefs. I'm with you brother!

Great job. I’m not very good at flipping the egg without breaking it. For years now, I just add a little water to the skillet after it’s nearly done on one side, cover with a lid and steam the top of the egg. Cooks the top in a minute, no flipping!

THANK YOU, DAVID, FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND FOR THE GREAT PRAYER FROM A UKRAINIAN !

I used avocado oils on my cast iron. It has a smoke point of 500 degrees whereas olive oil smoke point is between 375-400 degrees.

Hi, David! I followed your instructions and made my own hobo stove. I already went out camping and used it for cooking. It was great! Right now I'm taking note of your recipes and looking forward to cooking again in the bush. Great video, as always! God bless!

Great video David..👍🏻 we love to crack our eggs into the grits with the butter and cheese just before they finish. The grits are at 212°(+/-) and will cook the eggs to perfection for the perfect one pot meal. Keep up the good work..!

thanks for the demo..........keep 'em coming. Ur the man!

Outdoor cooking-one of my favorite pastimes no matter the method.👍🔥🍳

Great Video! Thank you for sharing and your prayer was spot on! God Bless!

Great video sir. Outdoor cooking at it’s finest. So glad to see one not afraid to pray on here. God Bless...

David, bumped into your video, sure enjoyed it. I appreciate your prayer and all the good cooking techniques. I will have to look back at your previous videos.

The blessing alone is worth a subscription.

Thank you Mr. West for an enjoyable and informative video. I had no idea that restoring the seasoning of a cast iron frying pan was so simple : - ) I believed that to season a frying pan, it had to be coated with oil and turned upside down and heated in an oven at a high temperature for a full hour. Thank you for demonstrating a much easier method ... Cheers.

Good one, love iron skillet cooking. Better for you too. Thanks for sharing David.

Hi David! another fun video - I love me some fire and some grits in the woods - how can it be better - fun to watch when you're stuck inside - hope you have a great new year! ... and thanks for keeping the faith - we gotta stand up for what's true and important - be well - Doug

Always enjoy your videos. Great prayer, really appreciate it

Good morning David. I always love watching your videos. Thank You so very much for the prayer.

Hovo stove cooking the best great video

Just made my first Hobo stove this morning. I’m looking forward to testing it shortly.

Wow looks amazing! 😋

Subscribed, never heard of it as a hobo stove lol I like that . And your definitely 100 percent right about food tasting way better when cooked outside . Great video man 🤙🏼

David , that was a great looking meal , thanks for sharing , God bless !

Thanks!

I am glad that I found you. I made me a stove and going to make a second one. Thank You!

Thank you for another great video.

There’s something about cooking outdoors on an open fire 🔥 that’s just relaxing and enjoyable.

Good video, excellent prayer 🙏

Awesome video Dave West 👍🏼

Mighty fine eats! I do love grits and cooking on a hobo stove. I live in east Tennessee and my favorite wood for the hobo stove is tulip poplar limbs like you used. The inner bark makes excellent tinder too. I especially appreciate your prayer of thanks giving for your food.

Great video. Simple and well done in the wind.

A fantastic video, I am sitting in the ER parking lot cause I couldn't accompany my wife inside, this did a great job of taking my mind of off things

Thanks for this post I learned something new with grits. I normally use a spoon of butter on my grits and a dash of sugar. Ill try adding cheese next time to my grits which I'll cook on my my solo stove during camp.

Nice !!!! I’ll do this with my solo stove lite.

Like me some cast iron cook ware -really like that small skillet - thanks for the share

Great job on the grits!!!!.

Coffee always tastes better outdoors!

AMEN! Awesome video

Hey David, enjoy your channel a great deal. But when you put on the cowboy coffee and 🍳, this video just went to number one in my 📖. God bless you, your family and the USA David. Cant wait for the next vid.

Breakfast looked good! Thanks for the demonstration. - Tennessee Smoky

Enjoy Your channel, and all the knowledge and skills You demonstrate. Love Grits. I miss Your larger fire/work table. You look too crazy on this one. Thanks for all You teach and the sharing of Your faith.

That’s the coolest stove I’ve seen. That’s the one I’m going to make. Thanks

I've already had breakfast but I think I know what is for dinner. Thank you.

i grew up in arkansas and i've never had grits, but you have done gone and slung a cravin' on me! got to try some!

That was great, the only thing would be a chair and a friend to share that awesome breakfast with. Enjoy and have a great week. Can't beat cast iron.

I got my first ignition on char cloth with flint and steel today. It made me feel like, well David West. Love your videos brother. Got it done the second time just now and got a fire going in my small solo stove. You make it look too easy, it ain't. It requires alota practice

Good morning, just finished my breakfast witch included grits and cheese. Damn I feel great. Thanks for a great video. You take care and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Very good Dave, one pan does it all.

Me an you would get along just fine. Thanks for making the video. 👍😎🇺🇸

Amen Brother,you sure know how to eat,food is better outside.Thanks for another great video,Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Never had grits before, but i will try them soon...

The prayer was great sir

Title saying 6 inch skillet caught my eye. I use one every time I camp. Carry it with me as my main go to skillet since it’s just me camping. I subbed and hit the bell. Looking forward to checking out your other videos. I had grits one time as a child and ran out of the house spitting them all over the yard and haven’t ate any since then. I might have to doctor them up to try them again even though I’m 57 now. Lol

Great video, Specially the prayer God bless you 🇺🇸

Thank you for your prayer! Amen

I love grits, so good.

nice video my friend! That is a cool little personal size cast iron do all fry pan!!

Amen brother!!!

I grew up.on grits ,years ago my mama make me go thru 5pounds every Sunday morning to pick out weevils , old country stores sold cans to keep bugs out. I like Jimmy Dean sausage patties and egg yolk in my grits life is good ,protect our nation .I agree

New subscriber here. Enjoyed your video and will watch many more. Your meal made me hungry and your prayer was perfect!

My wife loves sunny side up eggs and this little skillet handles two just nicely. Once I found a lid for it she keeps it on the stove. I am not allowed to touch it even though I found it and restored it. These things are priceless.....eggs slips right out.

I used to make that for my husband. He had in butter and I boiled eggs on top

Just subscribed! Greetings from Greece! May you have a prosperous new year!

Amen!

Yes ! Coffee does taste better outside. Grits are goooood !

Always love cooking outside. Got the steak and sweet potato on right now lol

I will be making my hobo stove. Found an old popcorn tin! Thank you

Learned a lot from your channel 👍

Nice work, Dave

Hi David. I live in Texas where there’s all sorts of trees. I’m still learning how to identify them. I really enjoy practicing in my back yard. I only have one big tree though. I’m still having trouble identifying it.

David, take an old oven mitt cut the thumb off to length, roll stitch the cut end neatly. BAM, Iron skillet handle pad. Slips on and off easy. Works great. I've made them from old pot holders also.

I love cast iron !!!!👌👌

Always loved grits with a side of ham & eggs. Great outdoor cooking. Thanks for sharing.

great vid. good way to cook breakfast. i cook every day with cast iron, at home, in my camper and over open campfires. to keep em seasoned use flaxseed oil and put back on the heat empty till it just starts to smoke then set aside and let it cool......and i do use soap when i clean. the legend of not using soap comes from when lye was in soap. dawn cleans and will not strip a properly seasoned cast iron pan.

Amen. I Love it that you honor Yehovah and pray over your meals.

I SO wanted a taste of those grits! lol

Amen! And Cheers to cowboy coffee!

YOU ~ ROCK ! !

Great video. You just made me hungry for breakfast lol. That little iron skillet is awesome, looks perfect for hobo stove. Coffee made with the grounds in the pot is good. I like coffee but coffee doesn’t like me, the acid bothers my stomach. I think boiling the coffee and letting it steep makes it less acidic imho.

good video dave. finally, seasoning a cast iron pan made easy. most utube video's are complicated and involve way more steps than you take. Your way of seasoning makes better sense. are you gonna have any more chow video's? now, I'm gonna have to do this outside if it ever warms up.

Amen brother!

Greetings from another upstate SC guy!

Outstanding video. The only thing missing is bacon. I really love grits, but I'm not a fan of cheese in it. I prefer more butter, preferably somethingmlike Keri Gold.

Enjoyed your video and especially your prayer thank you Jesus for all your blessings thanks David new subscriber

If there'd have been bacon out there it would've been one of my favorite breakfast. Thanks for sharing your sawhorse breakfast Sir.

John 3:16-18 God's love available to all nations. Beautiful backdrop for breakfast. Thought it was chilly here in New England but my brother in Minnesota already has 9 inches of ice!

Mmmmm

Amen

Dear Dave, we like this video on the hobo stove But the part about the cast iron skillet just reminds me of when my first wife hit me on the head because I was being funny with my friend's Good prayer. and God bless

Amen.

As the owner of a fairly new Lodge pan & lid set, your video caught my attention. I'd add that the smaller size is quicker to clean and -- if you're so inclined -- quicker to undo the rough factory seasoning. I've tried out little flatbreads as well as the usual fare -- coffee's a new one, though! After scraping sometimes you can avoid much water by using salt (coarse or table) with a paper towel or small plastic scrub pad to polish the seasoning back to a clean/smooth condition.

The good thing about about hobo stoves, besides how cheap they are to make, is that you dont need that much wood to cook or warm yourself. And I also noticed you have the expensive American version of skillet. The Ozark Trail 6 inch skillet made in China with a thinner handle, is like $5 at walmart.
