Give Away: Campfire Cooker

We're starting off the year with another great give-away from Forgotten Way Farm! And I'm really excited about this product. If you've ever tried cooking on an open campfire, you'll appreciate this Campfire Cooker.

Daniel and Abby Jo explain how the "Grampa Jakes" Campfire Cooker works...

"This is a heavy-duty campfire cooker, handcrafted on a mountain in North Idaho. Made to move up and down at 360 degrees in any direction for easy movement, serving, and temperature control. This wonderful Campfire Cooker comes with two hand held "campfire remotes". These remotes move the grates, arms, and hooks where you need them just so you never touch anything HOT. "Remotes" make it so easy to move your pots and pans off the fire for stirring and serving. This ingenious tool makes campfire cooking simply enjoyable."




I can imagine just how easy, too! Seems like when I'm cooking over an open flame, there's never a place to set hot pots and such other than the dirt. And it would allow you to make the most of a campfire since you can take advantage of the heat that rises. Items that don't need to be right in the coals, but just need to be gently warmed could be set up high, while items needing intense heat could be down lower. (You can read even more about this item, how it works, and see extra pictures at Forgotten Way Blog).




Enter The Give-Away

• Visit Forgotten Way Farm and find out more about the "Grandpa Jakes" Campfire Cooker. I'm thinking this would be an excellent item to have for emergency cooking! But how would you use it? Come back here and leave a comment telling me your thoughts on this handy tool. Be sure to leave an email address if you do not have a blog.

• Want to be entered a second time? Follow Daniel and Abby Jo on their blog, Forgotten Way, and then come back here and let me know that you've done so.

This give-away ends Friday, January 6, 2012 at 11:59 p.m.

  2. Wow. I would love to try this out with my new cast iron! I love how portable it is and versital. Is there and expanion pack? JK.I want to try it out for camping and emergency cooking and just back yard cook out in the summer. Thank you for the chance to win this and the information that it is out there.

  3. We do a lot of entertaining at our camp in rural New England - this would be ideal for large summer gatherings when the cast iron cook-stove just gets too hot.

  4. Wow, what a nifty gadget! I'd probably use it for those emergency times also. It's really so functional!

  5. Please enter me in the campfire cooker giveaway. My husband and I are avid campers and enjoy cooking over a campfire. We just purchased a home in the country where we plan to include the camping experience in our regular routine, ie: spending our evenings around a campfire with family & friends. My blog www.mountainhomevt.blogspot.com talked about our life in the mountains of Vermont. We recently moved to North Carolina and I haven't started a new blog as of yet. My email address is: leeanndennis62@yahoo.com.
    Thanks & have a blessed day!

  6. Oh my goodness! What a great giveaway! We cook over the firepit in the backyard all.the.time and it's so difficult getting large pots situated on a couple of blocks, you know? The blocks bust from the heat and then the pot gets all thrown off kilter! I would so be cooking up a big old pot of beans on this baby!

    ReplyDelete
  7. This is awesome! And I'm with you, this would be great to have in the "emergency arsenal" for preps. Would help cook a few different things at once too!

    ReplyDelete
  8. This looks terrific!We have a tripod for outdoor cooking, but this solves so many of those awkward moments...needing to heat multiple skillets/Dutch ovens at the same time. I love it! Not only is it great for emergency cooking if needed, but we love to cook outside just for fun. It's a great way to teach our kids some of those pioneer skills that our grandmothers used so often. Thanks for the give-away offer!

  9. I'm signing up for this Campfire cooker...love it....I struggle with the open fire and cooking on logs...is a balancing act...this would be easy to move around and check food during the cooking process...I just got me a camping portable kitchen...grandpa did a great job in designing this beauty...Mel's Designs..'n Harmony blog is a follower of your blog...mels_designs@yahoo.com

  10. Awesome way to cook outdoors! Looks like it would help get all the food for a large family cooked at one time. Great idea! dhiginbotham@ymail.com

  11. Very clever design! I can imagine using it in basecamp situations, or when working on land projects that mean being outdoors all the time, far from a kitchen. Having hot grub right to hand would be very heartening.

  14. I love Forgotten Way products! While we can't go away camping because of the farm critters, we are planning on putting up a wall tent in the back field. This would be perfect for back there. One of our goals is to learn how to do with out electricity. We are planning on staying in the field for a couple weeks this summer, just to get a feel for pioneer life!

  15. i learned that they are handmade...totally awesome! I would loveto use this in thesummer so iwouldnt have to turn the stove on and heatup the house!

  16. I would give this to my Husband. He and his brothers, uncles and cousins go to the deer woods for, what my daughter calls: "a grown man's slumber party". He could really use this!

  18. Wow- this looks great! We have a firepit that we made and it looks much like the one in these photos. I love cooking on the open fire but I am limited because I have yet to find just the right setup to allow me to cook several things. This Campfire Cooker is very much like what I had pictured in my mind as being what we need. It sure would be nice to win it! I don't have a blog.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow! A awesome give away!! We have a firepit here on the homestead and try to cook on it at least once a week. It is hard keeping the pots, etc over the heat but not so close to the flame. This would be perfect for us! The grands could even help cook.

  21. That looks like a wonderful tool! Teaching myself how to cook over an open fire has been on my mind for a couple of years now. I think it would be a great skill to have in case of emergency. Also, I live in rural New England, and we frequently lose power (for days at a time). While our generator has enabled me to cook during power outages, I've often wished to have some back-up skills just in case. (Just in case: the generator stops working and we can't get it going again, we aren't able to get into town for more gas for the generator, etc.) Additionally, I'd love the ability to cook over an open fire for hospitality! I'd love to have a harvest party in the autumn, and serve up some of the food from the campfire.

    ReplyDelete
  22. This is awesome! Back in the fall, our homeschool group attended a French and Indian War re-inactment and I was very intrigued at how the re-inactors cooked everything over an open fire. Cast iron cookware is my favorite. I use it more than any other cookware I own. When we lived in FL and lost power in the hurricanes for days, I was so thankful to have my cast iron to be able to use on the grill even for things like green beans. This year, my parents got me a cast iron Dutch oven for Christmas. Grandpa Jakes Campfire Cooker would be awesome for camping trips or in case of another extended power outage. :0)

  24. How fun! My hubby would love this and I bet it would be a big hit at the Scout campouts. My daughter is in American Heritage Girls and we do campouts also. I would love to teach the girls about outdoor cooking with this. Although I would need to learn myself first! :) Please enter me!

  27. What a great giveaway! I've visited the Forgotten Way blog to check out the close up pics, and I think this would be a great tool to have at our farm. Not only could we have it on hand for emergency cooking, but we could take it on the big, multi-family camping trips we go on, or just use it to fix a meal back by at fire pit for fun. Please enter me? Also, I'm already a Forgotten Way follower. Thanks! :)

  28. Love this! I would really like for my big boys to learn to cook outdoors and all the levels would come in handy for their camping trips!

    ReplyDelete
  29. This is really really cool! I can totally see us doing this to feel us plus all of our friends we go camping with so much more quickly than just 1 pot being used at a time! Awesome idea!

    ReplyDelete
  30. The only things I've cooked on the campfire are s'mores and BBQ chicken. I love this apparatus for the flat racks. My family hopes to camp more and this would be a fun thing to rest out.

  31. I saw this on their blog yesterday when I read your Barn Hop and was immediately smitten with the thoughts of how wonderful this would be. My husband and I are older, and I have pretty bad back problems, so leaning over is a real problem for me. I believe this would be a real back-saver. We have a large assortment of cast-iron cooking pots and pans that I use regularly, so we're all set for cooking full meals over a fire. It would really boost our emergency preparedness supplies, as well as be used for fun!

  35. Not only is this the coolest thing EVER but sooooo useful!!! Here is FL it gets WAY to hot in the house in the summer, let alone turn on the stove! This would be perfect to cook on over our large firepit in the yard.. I can picture myself making stew, potatoes, and tea while working in my garden never once stepping inside!! :) I HOPE I WIN!!!!!! :) Thank you thank you thank you!

  36. How do I get one of these? My husband would die for one. He LOVES to cook in the outdoors. He is looking for something like this. Even if I do not win the giveaway. Oh PLEASE let me win.:-) I still would like to get one anyway.

  37. This is a great way to cook outdoors. I try to do at least 50% of my cooking outside.Will be following Daniel and Abby.

  38. I think this is so cool. My son is a blacksmith and has made us tripods for the fire, but nothing with the "remotes". We do not own a grill and so frequently cook in the firepit outside. I would also use it for when the power is out like when we had a snow storm this past October!

  39. I would dearly LOVE to have one of these! My son and I built a firepit in our backyard over the Christmas break and it would be so much fun to have one of these to cook our meals on. He is in boy scouts and could take it on scout outings as well. What a great tool!

  42. I would love to win this. I bought my husband the complete cast iron set a while back. He only has a metal rack to cook on or the wood coals. I real like how easy it is to use. I already follow them. Thank you so much for posting this give way. Have a great day.

  45. I would definitely use this on camping trips with my son! I'm a single mom and as such, this would help me balance all the cooking tasks with less help. I'd also use it on our new property to cook outdoors more often instead of using the electricity to cook inside.

    ReplyDelete
  46. We go camping every year and I like to take my Dutch oven and try new things. I haven't been real successful but I like to keep trying. I would love to win this Campfire Cooker and make an entire meal for my family on it.

  48. What a smart set-up! We aren't campers, but learning how would be great for cultivating some important skills, I think. To be honest, though, I'd like plenty of conveniences as well, such as the ability to cook easily, which the Campfire Cooker would sure help with. ~Jill

  52. I just found your blog. I have been trying to simplify my life and it is definitely a goal for this coming year. I have gone to the Forgotten Way Blog and left a comment for them. The Grandpa Jakes Cooker is a wonderful link to other possibilities in ways to live our lives. We are so used to all the conveniences that we live with that we have forgotten how to get back to basics. I have great memories of my grandparents cooking sauces and ketchups in big iron skillets over an open fire in their back yard. The aromas were wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  53. What a great giveaway! I think I'd primarily use it for camping but it's certainly got me thinking about outside cooking year round.

    I followed Daniel and Abby Jo for a second entry.

    Thanks!

  54. Good Morning!

    I LOVE this giveaway! I have worked "wilderness" weeks of camp for kids at our local Christian camp and this is all we cook on for the week. This is so handy and amazing to have everything you need handy. It makes outdoor cooking easy and do-able. I would love to have one of these over our own camp fire here at home! I have joined Forgotten Way Blog and put them on my own blog list. It looks like they are doing some really neat things and will enjoy a new blog to follow!

  55. That looks so useful! Love the versatility of the design. I have been wanting to try open fire cooking. Ever since I read that open fire cooking is done on falling heat, I knew it was for me, because I sometimes overcook things.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  56. I think that this is a wonderful tool. It would make cooking out at the campfire way easier. So many times I have gotten burned from having to lean over the fire and this would help to eliminate that problem.

  58. Wow, I'd love to win this campstove. My family has been camping forever...lol... with my mom and dad growing up and for 28 years with my husband and children. We also like to have campfires in the backyard and this would sure be fun; let alone a great tool for emergency situations. And yes, I visited and 'followed' Forgotten Way and will do the same on your blog. Both are very informative and fun! So happy to have found both!

  59. This would be a great tool on the homestead. My husband is very good at cooking on an open fire but me bot so much. I would love to learn, being the wife I feel that it is my duty to prepare the meals. Living in Louisiana, the summers are terribly hot so cooking outside is very beneficial to keeping the house cool. Would really love to win this. Thank you for the opportunity!

  64. What a great giveaway! While it would be useful for emergency situations, I would use "Grandpa Jakes Campfire Cooker" for cook-outs. We like cooking on an open fire, especially when the weather is COOL. It really slows down your cooking and takes you back to a simpler time. We have several dutch ovens that we bought for this purpose, but we've been eyeing cooking set-ups like this for some time. I would love, LoVe, LOVE to win one!!!

  65. I would use this for summer cooking, as an alternative to solar ovens, which don't work well here in Ohio. Keeps the heat outside!

  66. Yeah! Now I'm a "follower" on the Forgotten Way Farm blog. I've read their blog before, but now I can keep up on a regular basis! Thanks for the giveaway - hope I win!!!

  67. WOW, I can't believe that I am the first to enter your giveaway! I've been checking out this outdoor cooker for awhile now. There must have been a link on your blog a few days ago. This is just awesome!! I would love to have one to use out here on our farm. With the way things are going in our country, being without electricity isn't too far fetched! Please put my name in your contest!

    ReplyDelete
  68. OH MY GOODNESS THAT THING IS FABULOUS!!!

    With so many surfaces and arms this would greatly increase efficiency in cooking while camping, obviously. But the remotes would allow our younger and/or smaller children to also be involved, each having their own part of the meal to be safely in charge of. And it's so strong - to be supporting full cast iron pots without issue. Wonderful!

    And when not camping? We just purchase property in TN and I was thinking that I'm really going to have to figure out how to feed the family in shifts as they finish jobs during the day - without everyone trekking in grimy clothes in and out of the house, etc. How simple it would be to set up a campfire area off the back patio, have a pot of something heating, and perhaps crusty rolls being kept warm for everyone to come, sit, and eat on the patio as they're able. And, of course, keep a pot of coffee, cider, etc. on for breaks and what not.

    The possibilities are endless. What a well worthy invention!

    ReplyDelete
  69. AND when storms take out the power - hot food without having to fire up the noisy generator!!!

    Wow! The campfire cooker would be great in emergency situations, but if I had a system like that I'm sure I would be trying to master the art of outdoor cooking on a more regular basis. Even just the thought of learning to cook outdoors makes me smile. I'm new to sustainable living blogs, and I just want to thank you all for putting all these wonderful ideas out there. I'm going to gradually ease my husband and I into a more self sustainable life.

    LOVE IT, The price is good and I like the fact that I can camp anywhere and cook many things at one time. I also love that instead of trying to use the grate at the camp grounds I can use this and it give more room and different levels of heat so I don't burn tings. :) So now I have two things I am going to be saving up for from their site, of course unless I win this then its only their clothes dryer i need. :)

  84. I could use TWO of these set-ups! I could use one at my home and the other up at our cabin. One of the *frugal* things I want to do this year is more outdoor cooking and wouldn't Grandpa Jake's Outdoor Cooker be just the ticket! I'm also very impressed with the price. We have an honest to goodness blacksmith a few towns over and we have him do quite a bit of work for us...but, I don't think he could build this cook set-up for the price Forgotten Way is charging...and the shipping costs are included! Not only a great product...but excellent price.

I would share this with my family who live in Oregon on a teensy bit of land and are discovering gardening and fresh eggs from their chickens, etc. I myself live in Mozambique where I am a missionary at a children's center. Although I would love having it here as a model for people here to use, the weight is probably prohibitive to bring or ship. But still, I can share the idea with people here! Blessings, Laura

  100. I love this! We just built a new fire pit and something like this would be perfect. I even have a few pieces of my great grandmothers cast iron with handles and never thought I'd use them for hanging over a fire. Will definitely consider this as a wonderful tool for cooking if the power goes out.

  101. What a cool little gadget! I'd use it to heat up my dishwater--as I'm doing dishes, since it wouldn't be boiling in the coals, and it would raise it to a great height to wash from.

  102. I would gift this to my son and his young family. They are just getting into camping; had their first weekend out in June baby and all! What a great contraption! Will have to look into one should I not win :)

  115. I love cookin' with my Dutch ovens and cast iron pans for years. But, last summer I spent my summer getting aquainted with using those pans & ovens on open fires outside. It was a blast! I would love Grandpa Jakes campfire cookers.

    I'll have to see if I follow them already from when I got my Forgotten Way Drying Racks a year ago.

  117. This would be great when we have our outdoor parties! How fun and very useable!

  118. Oh how FUN! I'd LOVE to win that! I'd use it for camping and emergency cooking. We have a big family with older boys who eat a LOT, and cooking on the little Coleman propane stove just doesn't cut it for us anymore!! :-)

  119. What an igenious device for Dutch oven cooking. I do demos at Ha Ha Tonka State Park and this would be a wonderful accessory to help encourage others to get outdoors and enjoy all that God has created for us to enjoy including eating outside.
    Blessings,

  121. This campfire cooker looks so cool! We have a fire pit in our yard and usually cook over it at least once a week. We love to cook over the fire with our cast iron. We use them on grates laying over the fire. Which means we get VERY hot while tending the food. We've often talked about finding something like this to use.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  122. You're a genius Grandpa Jake! It has been quite awhile since I have cooked over a fire but will never forget the challenges that go with it. This brilliant invention with the 'remote' and the different levels make this a must for any serious camp cook! - Please enter me in the giveaway and I have just signed up to be a new follower...it will be fun to see what they are up to. xo

  125. Since my oldest son has become more active in Scouts, we frequently find ourselves at family camp outs and I would love to be able to cook something more elaborate than hot dogs! Seems like the campfire cooker might help!

  128. We just bought 180 acres of land/forest and go out frequently when the weather cooperates. There are no buildings (yet), so we just build campfires for now while we explore and hike. What a great asset this would be to aid us in outdoor cooking--for 5 people!

    What a great idea! And it looks so sturdy and safe!

  132. Wow, my first thought would be how to keep the levels suspended but not all piled at the bottom of the stake! This really is an amazing design. I can only say, dear sweet Scoutmaster Doug, Boy Scout Cook Extraordinaire would never let my Doug, lowly Scout Leader pass the boys on their cooking merit badge again without mastering this, is it landed in one of their troup boxes. No camp out could ever compare after that! Go Troup #603. I hope I win, Doug vs. Doug!

  133. Wow this is an awesome product. I love that you can cook several things at a time and also be able to move the pots around so they don;t overcook the food.

  134. WE got a Dutch oven for Christmas-this would be a wonderful piece to go with it!

    ReplyDelete
  135. This is exactly the kind of thing my family does. We spend a lot of time outdoors, we even go to many 'homestead' celebrations in the area, trying to learn the 'basics', which is how we grew up. My Brothers have even built a teepee and this would be great there or at the cabin at the river.. Figure it out if I win! Lol!

  170. The Grandpa Jakes Campfire Cooker sounds like the perfect tool not only for campng trips but also for outdoor cooking in the back yard! Figuring out a way to prepare food without electricity is on our kitchen goals list for 2012, and this would be a perfect method to be sure. I really like the way foods needing different amounts of heat can all be prepared at the same time due to the staggered heights of the grates and hooks. Love it! Thanks, Amy, for the great giveaway! ~Lisa :)

  171. This product is amazing! We don't take a traditional vacation, instead we camp in a travel trailer at a private campground most weekends in the summer. This product would help so much in our campfire cooking. I'd have to guard it or one of the other campers might walk off with it :)

  172. This is a really great idea!! I saw it earlier and thought I might save up for one. We could use it camping and practicing cooking out on an open fire. Our first time cooking out on an open fire we made chilli, and it was the BEST chilli we have ever had! :) Thank you for the chance to win!

  174. There was something similar at a camp site here in Utah once it was so nice because we could have something cooking over the fire and something up a little higher just warming up. We loved it. The campsite was okay a little too close to others for our taste but cooking was good! We like to camp and so If we had one of these it would go camping with us.

    WOW!! This is a great item, will get one of these. I have alot of cast iron, just never cooking outside with it. I know you can by digging holes in the ground. Even though I know it works, I have never had the courage do do it. But this is great. Now to just have some recipes...hahaha

  186. I would use this when I take the neighborhood children camping to show them a non conventional way of cooking. We live in a poor community and each year I teach the neighborhood children different ways of living. Last year we started a garden and built a small compost bin and began to compost the children really enjoy this. Each year is a different project. Being a avid camper this year i will gather the children up for a week of camping. This would be a great addition to teach the children campfire cooking. Mythcastle@gmail.com peggy howard

  189. There used to be a show on PBS called "Campfire Cafe" with Johnny Nix. He always advertised a 'cowboy cook stove' that was similar to this, and I coveted and drooled over it season after season. I would use something like this practically every day except maybe in the very worst weather. It's just how I live. This would almost be a total kitchen makeover for me! LOL
    Thanks for the giveaway! Be blessed. :)
