Tyrus Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Had some old lumber and an idea for a piece of real estate off the cooking area that was exposed to the weather. This two draw unit was built for waist high use and ease of accessibility. Storage down below for red oak splits or whatever hard wood around and an asphalt shingle roof to keep it dry. Plenty of space and some mods will be adapted for end use later...still a work in progress. Fits well in it's wooded area. The pic on the spin is from a spoon roast or sirloin, marinated in Stubbs Beef marinade overnight and later basted with the same. This I found was a tasty mariade and in the end added a nice color to the meat. And also a pic of my solo stove, cause everyone has one. 8 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 That's a bonfire, almost out of control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 I thought that he was getting ready to smelt some iron ore. 😆 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted September 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Thanks Mac, living on the edge but always in control. See my daughter with a cookie in one hand and her phone in the other, the house could be burning...it wouldn't matter. Toney, the pit is lined with 4 inch refractory on the base and 3 inch on the sides, so yah, metal ain't a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to crawl into an old coal cellar under our house to retrieve the wood for our solo stove. And what a fire you have there. You must have laughed out loud you read my post, trying to persuade you to buy a solo stove. Your dog looks super fit. What's his name? I remember you saying you used to have a dog called Tyrus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Great looking storage unit. The spin looks tasty and the fire looks inviting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gidget and Garrett are Irish Jacks....if you ever had one you know they have a ton of energy. The pit does use a bit more fuel than a Solo Stove but, the affect is huge, long lasting and continuous. As for Tyrus, well, he's waiting for me elsewhere, we'll catch up later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Tyrus that’s a really nice cabinet! You do nice work. When I looked at that first picture of your solo stove and saw that piece of upright board I thought it was your spin was in the middle LOL that top log looks like the meat! Silly me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted September 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Thanks Bruce. Ran an extension cord out to the backyard and came up with that. The pioneer look I call it. A side view. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
