    Love the Cowboy Cauldron. This is our third one. In the cooler months, we do "Steak on a stick" every Sunday evening with family and neighbors. It is the perfect size and also easy to move when we have a bigger crowd. We could not be happier!

    I purchased the Dude about 2 years ago and I still love it! It is a fantastic grill and fire pit. I have had many family gatherings and everyone loves the cauldron. Works great for roasting marshmallows as well. I also purchased the chuckwagon pot. What an awesome accessory for any cauldron. I have cooked both the Carolina Pork and also popcorn from the website videos. I absolutely love my cauldron.

    WE have been coveting a Cowboy Cauldron since we saw one on the beach at a hotel in California. But the larger ones were just a little too much for our world. Then, Cowboy Cauldron came out with The Dude and it is just perfect! Very easy assembly, transportable, not too obtrusive to leave assembled and on the patio, and results in GREAT fires! Love it!

    We received "the Dude" in late summer and it was an instant hit. Very easy to set up and use. It makes a perfect addition to evenings in the backyard and relaxation with family and friends. I knew I would enjoy having a backyard fire cauldron, but this has managed to exceed my expectations. The portability has been a very nice feature.
