Whether you’re lounging fireside or cooking up a feast for friends, there are a few things you’re going to want by your side. 

Fire gloves, fire tools, an ash scoop, and an ash bucket are essential if you own a Cowboy Cauldron. 

If you plan on cooking on your Cauldron regularly, there are a few other things that you might want in your ’cooking kit.’

As one of my kickboxing coaches used to preach- Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. 

About Chris Wing (Cast Iron Chris)

After a lifetime of training in martial arts, fighting professionally, and running a gym, I began restoring cast iron professionally in 2019. I started sharing my hobby on social media in 2021, and after finding a lot of success, I closed my gym in 2023 to run “Cast Iron Chris” full-time. Beyond posting videos about “all things cast iron,” I fell in love with wood-fired cooking, with Francis Mallmann as a major inspiration. When I first cooked on a Cowboy Cauldron in 2023, I stopped cooking on anything else. I coined it “The World’s Most Badass Fire Pit” because it’s not only incredibly functional, but also a showstopper- so much so that I created an annual event called the “Cowboy Cook Off,” where everyone comes together to cook over a Cauldron. At the end of the day, it’s not just about cooking- it’s about food, fire, and the people around it.
