You sound a little bit like Ray Romano

I like your Jotul F602. I've got the F118 Black Bear; it has a cook plate too, which is what attracted me to this video.
The country music in the background was a nice touch. As always your video is informative and nicely shot.

@TheManFromAlaska Can't take the credit for the trick. My ex hubby's dad who was a real former Texas cowboy in his younger days taught it to me and he was born in 1915. He was an old codger then in the late 70's when we got together in our late teens. He would not drink percolated or drip except at restaurants where he could not get his cowboy coffee. He "learnt" me to make it "proper"!

@TheManFromAlaska Just sprinkle a bit over the surface, Never measured it. Or since your in Alaska. You could just sprinkle a little bit of snow on top like dusting a cake with powdered sugar. The snow melts and gives you a layer of cold water to sink. You want a thin layer of cold water on the surface to then sink. A pinch of salt helps with the bitter and helps to settle them too.

trying this this morning.. woo!

well done.
If you add a dash of cold water once you take it off the stove it helps the grounds to settle. The cold water sinks to the bottom taking the grinds with it. Made lots of campfire coffee in the tin can it came in. Regular grind works best which is slightly coarser than drip. Used to be called percolator. Cowboys in the old days used a coarse grind and let it boil a bit longer and they added a pinch of salt to help with the bitter.

I will have to try that. How much water would you say for a pot like mine? Thanks.

I have the SAME EXACT Jotul wood stove, and I have enjoyed cooking various things on my wood stove, I've made beef stew, briskets, amazing french toast, bacon, eggs, flap jacks, paninis,and food tastes awesome, what a great cook stove it is! I love your technique for cowboy coffee, I have a few contraptions for making camp coffee, but I love the simplicity of your technique- it looks great-I will definitely try it! Ive had several multi-day power outages, - I stay warm and eat well too!
