hey folks I just want to welcome you
back to Mr cast iron and today I've got
something I want to share with you the
fine folks over at bonds life sent us a
stove it's a 15in fire uh 15in stainless
fire pit from a bond stove and I want to
kind of show you some things about this
features about it of course naturally
down at the very bottom of this it has a
cold air intake where it allows the air
to get through it so it gets fire and
makes the fire burn through the cold air
intake and then in the center part here
the lower bottom part is actually an ash
pan that's where you put your uh you
know your kindling and and your firewood
and everything and once it burns it has
Ash and so this is the ash pan area down
into very bottom here and then also
there's a plate up here at the top that
allows the oxygen to uh actually feed
the fire of course fire has to have
oxygen to burn and so that's what that's
all about and then of course this air
circulates all back up through here and
you see these holes up here on the top
this is a secondary uh vent hole area
which makes a uh fire chamber and allows
the uh the firewood to burn and helps to
eliminate it from smoking as much and
then of course the top up here is a fire
ring and uh we'll we'll get all this
together and show you all these pieces
here shortly but I just wanted to kind
of walk you through this and let you
know how this thing works they've got
the instructions here on on the box
which is very handy kind of tells you a
little bit here that it's log friendly
low smoke and it's durable and it's
stainless steel made out of 304
stainless steel so you know that's one
good thing about it even if being
outside as a fire pit normally is you
know you're going to be subject to
possibly rusting and of course the
stainless steel won't rust now I wanted
to show you this we're out here at my
fire pit that I've made out of concrete
block and Diamond Wire this fire pit
right here is not easily removed you
can't take it with you wherever you want
to go this is stationary this fire pit
here is very heavy it's a cast iron fire
pit and it's not real easily uh portable
either but now the thing about this Bond
stove bonds life Bond stove is portable
it's real lightweight and you can take
this camping with you you could take it
to the beach you could take it wherever
you wanted to go very easily and it's
simple it's not very many pieces at all
you actually have your base ring which
you can use or you don't have to use
some people do some people don't but I
just think the manufacturer made it for
a reason and I think it needs to be used
so it's got the holes in it where it
allows air to circulate through here and
up through the fire chamber so I'm going
to show you how this works I'm just
going to set this on our uh patio here
and then I want to show you the main
piece as you can see here all the way
around this uh uh fire pit is they've
got holes punched in here and these are
actually designed to look like fire
burning and so I think that's pretty
cool that how they did that and then on
the inside here you can see this air
chamber once that air goes through the
very bottom and circulates around it
gives it more oxygen to actually burn
and help to eliminate the smoke and of
course here like I said earlier is the
ash tray Ash pan and and uh this is
where you actually put your Kling and
your firewood and everything for it to
burn the air circulates through and uh
allows it to burn so basically you just
take this and just set it on
here see how easy that is and then you
have the other R excuse me the other
ring that fits on here just like that
and that helps to ignite the fire so
what we're going to do next I've got
some kindling over here and some paper
I'm going to get ready put in here and
we're going to light this up got some
firewood this is some old Apple had an
old apple tree we cut down and it's been
laying around it's been dry for a long
time so we're going to burn that but I
just want to get some of this paper in
here in order to get this
started now you could use fire starters
or whatever you
have we're just going to kind of layer
these around
here a little bit of Kling to get it
going
one and we'll take our fireplace
lighter and of course naturally when you
first light you know your paper and
stuff like that you're going to have
smoke so we'll allow this to get going
get the Kling going and uh once this
kindling is going real
good these little
sticks will
uh
it's kind of windy out here
today okay well we've got our candling
going here so we're going to go ahead
I'm going to put my uh fire ring on here
actually and then I'm going to grab a
smaller piece
of apple wood and just place it down in
there and allow that to
burn it's going to take a while for that
to burn down so anyway and uh wood some
of it's a little bit damp so it's going
to cause it to smoke damp wood will
smoke the drier the wood is the less
smoke it will uh produce so anyway I
just wanted to show you this this one
here is a smaller version they actually
have three versions three sizes they
have a 15 in a 19 1/2 and a 26 in and so
it depending on what size you know you
need of course it's just me and my wife
and so this is probably going to be
perfect for me and her and so anyway
we're going to let this cook and once
it's done I'm going to come back and put
a grill on here and Grill me a couple
hot
dogs well we got our firewood burning in
here and as you can see there's less and
less smoke as it uh begins to cook down
burn down uh my firewood was actually a
little moist and they don't recommend
that I recommend dry firewood but anyway
uh ours was a little damp and that's
causing a little bit more smoke but
anyway it's doing a fine job and I mean
it's really putting out some heat too
I'm been standing around it and uh it's
really putting off a lot of heat so this
is really a cool rig I'm going to let
this cook down a little bit more or burn
down a little bit more and then I'm
going to get my uh my grate on here and
cook a couple hot dogs on
it okay as you can see this has
uh started basically not producing any
smoke at all but you can really feel the
heat on this so what I'm going to do I
want to uh Grill me some hot dogs today
and so this is optional you can get one
of these grills for it uh or not all
right folks our hot dogs have cooked I
mean we've got them perfectly on this
Grill here they look real good we have
to get ready and take them up but you
can see there's very little smoke coming
off of this fire pit uh I really like
this thing I think this would be a neat
little addition to our uh cookware and
stuff like this for having out on the
patio like I said it's portable you can
take this pretty much anywhere you can
take it you know out in the backyard
like this uh if you have an apartment
you could probably put it on a deck or
something like that uh you could take it
to the park or to a pond or or a lake or
something you know a camping trip and
it's really easy to uh pick up and take
with you simply something like this is
harder to do and uh we certainly
appreciate uh bonds life cusis uh stove
and uh we're going to leave a link down
in the description where you can get a
discount on it so be sure and check out
the discount code there if you're
interested in one of these and I think
you'd be happy with it I know we
certainly are I'm really impressed how
much uh you know how little it takes to
put this thing together how little smoke
it actually puts off once you get the
fire going and uh the key thing about it
is like I said earlier is be sure and
use dry firewood and uh that way you
don't uh have as much smoke another
thing too I failed to mention that I
want to share with you that uh it comes
with a um a cover and so basically you
can cover this thing up I'm not going to
take it completely apart but you can see
it has their logo on it and everything
and then once you want to store it away
you just take and slip this over the top
of it and that'll help protect you know
your
uh fire pit so anyway we appreciate you
guys hope you enjoy this it's Mike and
Mrs castar we'll see you later y'all
have a great day now
