KITCHEN HEARTH & CAMP FIRE,
COOKING AT HOME & IN CAMP


CAMP HATCHET


  Finally a good quality camp size hatchet at an affordable price. Made from quality steel that will hold an edge, making all of your jobs around camp a little easier. It has a hammer style head from driving stakes (always a plus). It's size and weight are the perfect compromise between a full size axe (too heavy) and a light hatchet (too small for the job). The cutting edge is almost a full 4 inches with the head length being 7 inches. The handle is 19 inches so you can get a real swing with this one. It weights 2 lbs. so you can get some real chopping power going here. If you like throwing hatchets I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the excellent balance of this one too. Even if you are really hard on equipment this one will outlast most men 2 times over.

GOOSEWING AXE



  Small axe or large hatchet? Viking axe, bearded axe or Goosewing, regardless of what you call it, it is one great looking piece of equipment. The handle measures 17 inches long so it will easily fit into your belt. The head measures 6 1/2 inches long and the cutting edge is 5 inches. This was a very popular style in the American mid-west in the early 1800's (pioneer days) right up through 1900. Of course this style is ancient in northern Europe with wide spread use thoughout the continent. It is so cool I would use any excuse to buy one.

CORK BOTTLE SPICES

So with that stomach churning thought in mind we have developed an easy to carry little spice chest that you can drop right into your haversack. You will never even know it's there until you need it. Ahhh but when you do need it, it will be the most appreciated item in your kit.
  We offer this item in a variety of ways. You can buy the cork & bottle all by it's self and put what ever you like in them. You can buy them one by one filled with your favorite spices and if you like you can buy them along with one of our musket cap tins which will hold eight of these bottles safe and secure. That's not confusing at all is it? I'm sure you'll figure it out.
  By the way, these little bottles hold one teaspoon full, Just the right amount for a weekend campaign. All of our bottles of spices are sealed with a beeswax coating over the cork.

The 5 drahm bottle stands 3 inches tall to the top of the cork with the 4 drahm bottle being just wee bit taller as it is more narrow.

STORAGE TIN SQUARE



  Tins are just the best. I use them for everything. Home, work or in the field. Anything that needs to be kept safe, dry and mouse proof requires a tin. They are perfect just as they are but if you're crafty try giving one several coats of gloss black paint for a laquered look, or use gun bluing or browning for a great finish. Plain, blued or laquered are all period correct.
  This little square tin stands 2 1/2 inches tall and is 1 3/4 square. That will hold enough coffee for a standard pot of coffee or 2 pots of tea. Great for spices, sewing kits or your meds.

Plain, blued or laquered are all period correct.
  This oval tin stands 5 1/2 inches tall and is 2 1/2 at it's thickest point. I'm guessing here but I'd say it will hold close to two cups of dry measure. That's enough flour for a pan of buiscuts or a very large stack of pancakes.

They are perfect just as they are but if you're crafty try giving one several coats of gloss black paint for a laquered look, or use gun bluing or browning for a great finish. Plain, blued or laquered are all period correct.
  This tin is the traditional style for tea. It has the standard cap that you see in the photo with another inner cap to keep the inside as dry as a powder house. It stands 5 1/2 inches tall and is 4 inches across at it's thickest point. Again I'm guessing but it looks like it will hold a little over 2 cups of dry measure. Tea, coffee, beans or rice. What ever you decide to put in there it will stay safe and dry. Stale? no way. With this seal oyster crackers would be good for months.

  Made from durable stainless steel that will not rust but it has been treated with a "brushed" finish to mimic the look of tin. Best of both worlds.

TRIPOD


  Not your ordianary tripod. This clever little item can pull a double shift. Sure it's a great tripod that completely disassembles for easy transport but - it can also double as a cookset by driving two pieced into the ground and use the third as a cross bar. I wish I had thought of that. It's a little hard to explain but there are more photos and probably a video to come soon.
  Chain, S hooks and pot are not included.

  This may be the most useful item in any camp. Regardless of whether you cook a little of a lot this will make the job so much easier. It's strong, well made and folds flat for easy transport. It works just as well on a large stone hearth.
  They measure 20 inches long by 12 inches wide and stand a full 7 inches tall. That's large enough for 2 skillets or a whole lot of grilled pork chops. Each one is hand forged with no welded parts. If you are in charge of your mess don't go to another event without one of these. Now go away so I can tend to my bratwurst.

IRON STANDING TRIVET


  Hand forged standing iron trivets. If you need a little extra cooking area this may be just the thing. This standing iron trivet holds one large coffee pot or your typical skillet, even a dutch oven will fit just fine. Then just scoop those hot coals from the fire place putting them underneath the trivet and you're on your way. Works great for just keeping things warm too. One of these will let you set that coffee pot off to the side so you have more room cook and still keep everything warm.
  Our trivets are 8 inches across and stand a full 6 inches tall. The handle lets you move it where ever you need it without burning your hands.

IRON SKILLET W FOLDING HANDLE




  When the amount of space you have is limited every little bit helps. This clever little iron skillet's handle folds neatly inside the pan making it much easier to transport. When folded it measures only 9 inches wide by 1 1/2 inches deep. One of the best features is that the handle is hollow, further reducing weight but also allowing you to insert a stick to lengthen the handle, thus saving your knuckle hairs from certain extinction.

SPATULA & FORK


  Cooking over a campfire can be a difficult job but the one thing that makes it much easier is the right tools. Such as a meat fork that's long enough to reach the fire without you sticking your face in the smoke. As well as a spatula that is heavy enough to stay where you put it without sliding up, down or all around and that's exactly what we have here.
  Our meat fork is approx. 26 inches long. Great for turning steaks, chops or chicken but works just as well for cooking hot dogs and marsh mellows.
  Our statula has a typical size head so it fits any skillet or griddle easily and the 17 inch long iron handle stays where you put it unlike a modern light weight spatula. Great for flipping egg or pancakes. This one is made for camp cooking.

HOMESPUN BROWN STONEWARE MUG


  In Parthenia A. Hague's book, "A BLOCKADED FAMILY" she speaks of all things homespun as buying goods made outside of the South was almost impossible. Here's what she has to say about Southern made stoneware goods.
  "Of course our earthenware was rough, coarse, and brown; Never the less we found our brown glazed plates, cups and saucers, washbowls and pitchers and milk crocks exceedingly convenient and useful." "A BLOCKADED FAMILY" Page 48.

  Tin cups have their place but they are not in the same class as these great stoneware mugs. Sturdy so they don't tip over easily. Holds a full pint and they look great. Each is hand made here in the States. Being hand made of course there will be some small variations from one to the next.

Made with 3/8 inch square uprights they push or will tap into the ground easily. The 1/2 square cross bar will support 2 full bean pots without sagging.

CAMP FIRE SET
LARGE


  In the photo above this cook set appears to be very tall but appearances can be decieving. You see, in the photo the "legs" are only in the ground a few inches and this is a heavy duty set of irons. It is meant to be used with heavy or multible pots so the legs are normally driven into the ground a foot or more. When in use it will look just like a normal cook set but it will be able to hold and do so much more.

This is the heavy duty version of a camp fire set. Made from 1/2 iron rather than the typical 3/8 inch. This set will hold a 2 gallon pot full to the top without any worries. The uprights measure 57 inches tall and the cross bar is 37 inches across. The extra hieght of the uprights allow you to use this set confidently even in soft or wet soil as you can sink them as deep as need be and still have plenty of hieght so that the cross bar is not too close to the fire. There is no ill effect if the ground is hard and you only have to sink the uprights a few inches. Just use a chain and S hooks to lower your pots to the desired height.

WROUGHT IRON S HOOKS

  When it comes to cooking on the hearth or the camp fire the iron S hook is an indispensable item. Of course we all know that it's used to suspend a pot over a fire but if you have more than one - or - better yet several different sizes you can lower or raise your pot to "control" the temperature of the dish you're cooking.
They are also handy for lifting the hot lid off of a pot, to grab the hot bale of a pot or hanging a lantern from a small limb. It literally has more uses than space allows me write but don't forget they are simply great for decorating around the cabin, the porch or any 19th century home.
  They come in 3 sizes. The smallest is 3 inches, then 6 and the longest of the set is 9 inches.

ANTIQUE BEAN POT

  Antique Bean Pot with bale (wire loop handle), clean and ready for the fire. This cast iron pot is commonly referred to as a "bean pot". Remnants of originals are often found in CW camps by relic hunters, reproductions are commonly seen in camps at every reenactment and for good reason. They are the handy-ist size of all the cast iron pots ever produced. They are just the right size for cooking soups, stews and yes beans for your entire mess or family. Just the right size for heating water for washing up too.
  Now I don't think that any of the bean pots I'm offering for sale today are from the CW era but they are all very old and of the same style and size. No reproductions in this lot. After the 1930's commercial productions of these pots (with a very few exceptions) vanished. There was no market for them anymore. So you can bet this one is of that era or older. It will make a great addition to your hearth or camp gear. Will hold over a 1 gallon of water (approx.). If you need more than one let me know as I try to keep several on hand.

  As with all of the antique castiron cookware offered by Blockade Runner Inc. these pots have been thoroughly cleaned and seasoned. They are ready for use when you unpack them.

COFFEE "BAGS"


  This small, seemingly insignificant item is in reality anything but. If you are like me that is. I hate coffee grounds in my cup and the last cup of the pot is always the worst. "Be gone evil grounds"!
  With this little 3 by 4 inch bag especially made for the job, you will never suffer coffee grounds in your cup again. Just put your normal amount of coffee inside this little bag, tie the top and toss it into the pot. When the coffee has completed brewing remove the bag and serve the "grounds free" coffee. They are reuseable too! I have one here that I have used over 20 times and it shows no sign of giving up. They come in packs of three so one pack should last you an entire season.

Works for tea too!

I have 5 of them that are monogramed with a "B" as seen in the photo and one with an "L". It has quite an impresive list of hallmarks none of which mean anything to me. (looks cool though). If you only buy one I am going to send you one with the B unless otherwise requested.

CEDAR FILLED SASHET



  After we offered several variations of cedar chips to be used as moth repellent we recieved several suggestions from you. I think it would be wise to take your advice, so we did. Here's what you ask for. A small sashet (approx. 3x4") filled with cedar shavings. Just put one of these in the pocket of your jacket or pants when you store them away. You will never find a moth hole in your clothes again. What could be easier than that.
  For those of you who don't clean your uniform between events, well - you'll be doing us all a favor. Cedar has a pleasant aroma as opposed to your current flavor which makes us think your impression is that of a week old road killed possum smuggler.
  You can just toss one or two of these in any chest or drawer to give all it contains that pleasant aroma as well.

CHOW CHOW (RELISH)


  Chow Chow, I have no idea where the name came from but it is basicly relish. In our little "neck of the woods" Chow Chow was a great sorce of pride and conflict among the elder ladies of the community. Who's was best? That one little question was sure to start a half hour arguement regardless of where it was ask. The feed store, the post office or even a church social. Most (not all) of the folks would finally agree that it was Mrs. Nelson's or at least that her's was in the running for the top spot. As you might imagine the recipe for this deliscous condement was a closely guarded secret - but - she thought the world of my Dad and after several request she gave him the recipe as long as he promised to never share her secret with anyone. For 50 years he kept his word and I will continue to honor that promise, but there is no reason that you shouldn't enjoy this award winning treat. Nothing is better with a hot bowl of beans than a slice of hot cornbread, sweet onions and a big spoonful of Chow Chow!

Pvt. Ambrose Remley, 72 Ind. Inf. Dec. 20, 1862. Somewhere in Middle Tenn. "We got 2 boxes (from home) besides mine, best apple butter I ever ate". In his notes and letters home, Ambrose mentions repeatedly that their (the 72nd) ration of "sowbelly and crackers" got old real quick.

MULLBERRY SYRUP


  Mullberries are in my opinion the most delicious berry of all and the most under utilized. You seldom hear of anyone using them today even though they grow everywhere especially here in the South. I assure you that was not always the case. When I was a child I remember some of the older folks pointing out mullberry trees to me and remarking that when they were children that they helped their mother or grandmother gather berries from that very tree. It was often the youngsters job to climb the tree and shake the branches releasing a "rain storm" of the dark sweet treats. If you saw a very large single tree standing alone in the middle of an otherwise plowed field it was probably a mullberry that the farmer had spared in order to harvest the fruit.

  This year we gathered about 20 gallons of mullberries from our wild mullberry trees so we could make a batch of my favorite, mullberry syrup. I prefer syrup over jelly or jam as it is the most versitile. Pour it over pancakes or icecream. Spoon it onto biscuits or into your coffee. During the holidays it makes a wonderful cordual.

  Now if you have never enjoyed mullberries before then you are in for a real treat. Similar in many ways to wild blackberries but sweeter and much less tart. The seeds are tiny and almost impossible to remove even if you wanted to. Surprisingly the seeds are not hard as you would find in many berries. In texture they are very similar to toasted flax seeds.
  The Eastern cultures attribute many health benifits to this delicous berry as well. But for me it's all about the taste.

As a matter of fact, there's a quart mason jar in the bag in the photo. The bag also helps to protect the glass from breakage and stops the clinking noise that jars make in transit. Store your stolen silverware in one of these so you don't have to share it with the Capt. Store your food stuff such as beans, rice, etc. in these. Anything wrapped in wax paper will fit in here nicely too. Limited item. They will be gone soon.

KITCHEN MASHER


  Here's another great product from our wood shop. A cedar kitchen masher. One of these would be found in every 19th century home. Used to tenderize meats, for making bread crumbs or mashing potatoes. It certainly would not be out of place in a refugee camp.
  Hand made one by one no two Mashers will be exactly the same but our mashers generally measure 11 inches tall with a head 2 1/2 inches across.   Why cedar? Cedar is the traditional wood used for most home and kitchen wares in Tennessee and the surrounding area during the 19th century. There are only 2 true cedar forrest in all the world, one is just north of Murfreesboro Tn.

ROUND HANDLE CEDAR SPATULA



  Our cedar spatulas are made right here in our wood shop. This style is turned on a wood lathe for a round handle then the business end is carved into a typical flat spatula shape. Not the type of spatula that you would use to flip eggs. Generally speaking, the word "spatula" is used for any wide flat utensil. If you have spent any time at all in the kitchen you know just how often you need this tool. Sometimes there is no other tool that will work for the job at hand. Anything that is sticky, gooey or heaven forbid over cooked will stick to the walls and bottom of the pan with a vengeance. A spoon just will not reach every little nook and cranny. You know that any spot that is left unstirred it will burn and there goes all that work.
  Our cedar spatulas measure 12 inches long and 2 inches wide at the blade. (More or less) Remember these are hand made and each one is unique.

FLAT HANDLE CEDAR SPATULA



  Here's another great item straight from our wood shop. A hand carved flat spatula made from Tennessee cedar, the best cedar in the world. A very useful tool in your kitchen or at your camps cook fire. Remember the term "spatula" refers to any flat utinsel. It would be dificult to flip an egg with one of these. You can flip pan fried meats or any item of that nature. It's very useful in almost any aspect of cooking. From stirring a bean pot to scraping out a large bowl.
  They measures approx. 12 inches long. The "head" is 2 inches wide and they are 3/8 of an inch thick. These are hand made one at a time so all measurements are approx.

CEDAR SERVING SPOON


  All of our cedar kitchen utensils are designed with the 1 gallon bean pot in mind as this was the most common pot both then and today. Our cedar serving spoons are no exception. They all measures 12 inches long or there abouts. They are designed for heavy use but they have a great eye appeal as well. As with all of our cedar it is made right here in our shop. This would be a common item in any kitchen or refugee camp of the era.

CEDAR ROLLING PIN


  Our cedar rolling pins are made right here in our wood shop. The cedar is harvested right on the property as well. Most of the cedar we use has been aged for at least 30 years as we use the "scraps" from the last time the property was logged some 30+ years ago. The logs are cut to length and hand split with a shingle froe and wooden mallet. Then spun on the lathe and trimmed to size. No two are exactly alike but all will be close to 16 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide.
  This style of rolling pin is now considered a European style but it was quite American in the 18th & 19th century. We have my wife's G.G. Grandmother's cedar rolling pin hanging in our kitchen. It was actually the inspiration for us to offer a reproduction. A common item in any kitchen or refugee camp of the era.

SAD IRON

  Here is great example of a very usable sad iron. The handle is sound, well connected (yes that is something you should be concerned about). I've brushed away the loose surface rust so it is ready to be oiled or painted as you desire. I have also cleaned the bottom to the point where it is almost ready to use. I've done the hard part but you will want to clean it a little more before using it on a white shirt.
