For Christmas I received a Lodge Sportsman Grill as a gift from a good friend. Today it was finally nice enough to use it out side. You are suppose to use charcoal in it but I had heard and seen other use wood in theirs so I went with wood.
Then today I received the Bayou Classic 6 quart Oval Fryer with Griddle Lid as a early birthday present from another good friend.
I washed and seasoned the fryer as soon as I got it unwrapped and then used it to cook fried potatoes on the sportsman grill tonight. Let me tell you, even though these two products are not made by the same company they work together perfectly.

As soon as I got a good fire going in the grill I sat the fryer on top and pour in some vegetable oil. Once the oil got hot I added the potatoes.
I placed the lid on and let them cook for a few minutes then turned them. They were already starting brown nicely and getting soft inside. I cooked them for a total of 15 minutes and got a nicely cooked pan of fried potatoes.
And clean up was a breeze. All I had to do was wipe out the pan with paper towels after it cooled some and it is ready to go again. Sorry I forgot to take a picture after wiping it out with paper towels but I wanted to get this blog post done because I have some more posts I want to do either tonight or tomorrow.
Along with the fried potatoes cooked in the fryer on top of the grill I also fired up the rocket stove and heated up some frozen barbacued pulled pork. I had planned on cooking something else tonight until I got the fryer and I quickly changed my mind because I could not wait to use the fryer and grill together.

The above picture is of the pulled pork heating up on the rocket stove. I was so excited about getting to play with my new cast iron toys that I completely forgot to take a picture of the pulled pork. LOL
I personally feel that every prepper should have the sportsman grill and the oval fryer in their preps. These are two very durable pieces and you can use free fuel in the grill for cooking once your other cooking fuels run out. It is a win/win so what is not to like about them?
You will be seeing more posts on these two pieces in the future from me as well as Southern Wood Elf as I know she has the sportsman grill to.
Even though I have a nice gas grill I can tell you right now that I will be using the sportsman grill and the oval fryer a lot more than that gas grill. I love cast iron and I love my good friends for caring enough about me to send me these to pieces of pure gold.
