Squirrel Cookers & Tripods

[Whittler Kev]

Been back in the forge while I've been off work and got some therapy steel bashing and twisting wise.
As the warmer weather's soon gonna be upon us (hopefully) I thought I should open the order book again

I do 4' and 5' tripods with top and bottom hooks (I can get some chain but its just as easy for you to nip to B&Q to save on postage weight - up to you)

£48and £52 delivered

You can see pokers hanging off the top hooks, they are £12 each

Adjustable height swivel Pot hanger - you just move the nut & bolt up or down to the required height

£28 Delivered

12mm square Squirrel/Rabbit/Potato cooker with pot hanger on the other end

£23 delivered

10mm Round Squirrel/Rabbit/Potato cooker with pot hanger on the other end

£21 Delivered

6mm Round Squirrel/Rabbit/Potato cooker with pot hanger on the other end

£17 Delivered

As most of my customers carry them on the outside of their packs, I need to know what length you need the squirrel cookers to be as all are individually made to your specs.

The 6mm can easily hold a largish kettle and an extra large potato or a joint of meat while the 12mm will hold just about anything you want it too

here's a 6mm round being used at the Suffolk meet

Sorry about the Price increase but good old Post Office has put their prices up

I've just had a fortnight off so got in the forge and made some more up

The tripods can handle you hanging from them I reckon so will take a dutch oven easily

I can make then any length you want. Not sure how much they weigh but only a couple of pounds I reckon. Would a 4mm be better? How much weight are you going to hang on it?

PM inbound buddy ref 6mm Squirrel Cooker

 

[Whittler Kev]

I've never been real happy about the forks on the 6mm's as they are hard to keep at 3mm each so I've decided to modify them and make them loads stronger. Now I forge both the forks and the pot hanger then weld the forks onto the end
Loads stronger.



Unfortunately Post Office delivery hike so now £19.50 delivered

Cheers dude.
remember folks all dimensions are alterable as they are one offs. need to keep them under 3' though

Just had someone email me from Norwich about a local blacksmith asked to make a squirrel cooker

Inspired by this thread I contacted a local blacksmith for a quote and whilst they are keen they are pricey so I hoped to find someone in the community who would be able to make one.
Obviously they are local so no postage, they said £52 but proposed using 12mm round, they are bush crafters so have no practical experience of them.
I hail from Norwich and have family there if you are ever in Norwich? May save postage if that was an option

:Wow: I'm glad I don't have to make a living at it or no one would be able to afford one :yikes:

 

[Whittler Kev]

Would you believe it....just went out to the forge and..............ran out of 6mm:welcome: as I forgot to order it:sad6:. Got to get some from the DIY place (about a 50 mile round trip) to tide me over until I can get a delivery. Then get some orders made up.
One is going to have 100mm tines for larger stuff

 

[Whittler Kev]

Got took out last night by my daughter and grandson so detoured and got some more 6mm (cleared them out ) so all systems go
Made some up today so all those waiting should get them posted out tomorrow

 

[Juggernaut]

[Whittler Kev]

[Whittler Kev]

BTW they are still £17 delivered for 6mm ones for those that asked in PM's to me
